Quoted from Aurich:a8MrJc.gif
It was Todd N. Tuckey from TNT Amusements (Southampton, PA), who pitched all those games off his roof.
Quoted from woz:This Big Brave playfield was on CL here a few months ago as having a nice patina!

Can I get some background on this? Why would anyone do that?
Quoted from Flake:Can I get some background on this? Why would anyone do that?
He said that's what he does with games not good enough for his shop I believe..............Joey
Supposedly they were all too far gone to restore and a lot of C-list names. It was a one time marketing prank that worked. Otherwise TNT would not even be on a lot of folks radar.

I think Todd has said that they were beyond salvageable. Maybe termite/mold ridden junkers.

People over react about this. They were flood damaged, completely FUBAR.
Maybe the back glass could have been saved for something, but it was filmed 10-15 years ago when there wasn't the crazy collector market that there is now.
Quoted from Zukboy2002:I'll take the scared stiff and the 2 getaways on the pallets that are outside.
Get in line...
Quoted from pinnation:STACKED NONSENSE
If only there were a way to store pinball machines where they only took up half as much floor space so you didn't have to stack them like that.

He did it with arcade cabs too. That was during the height of that bubble.

They were all junk and beyond repair and the pics of the games sitting outside is no better and is the kind of crap they were . Plus no one wanted things back then especially the titles they were.

Were all the PAPA games parted out or were any actually saved?

Quoted from Rob_G:Were all the PAPA games parted out or were any actually saved?
from PAPA.org
Every pinball machine was submerged at least up to the backglass, and every surface within five feet of the ground, including playfields and inside cabinets, was coated in the floodwater sludge. The sludge was a sanitary hazard and immediately destroyed materials such as electronics, press board, and playfield artwork.
Two hundred and thirty-two pinball machines were destroyed, as well as a handful of classic video games, an extremely rare Tattoo Assassins prototype, a sitdown Omega Race, some great dancing games, et cetera. We were able to salvage many plastics, some boards, coin mechs, backglasses, and most of the playfield glasses. This process did not take place until a professional cleanup and restoration company had been through the facility.

actually makes flash look better.
Seem to forget that these *toys* were worthless for so long. The only thing that makes them worth anything now is the collector market.
Quoted from Star_Gazer:Recognize Space invaders and...
Bally Eight Ball. Can't tell what other pins are in there.
