My neighbor had to let in the washing machine delivery guys (the old one literally caught fire) today.

I was watching and listening to the security camera feeds from work over the internet.

Both delivery guys appeared to be about 20-25 years old.

Delivery guy#1: Wow, you have old video games? (pointing to the row of pinball machines).
Neighbor: There not mine, but I play them all the time.
DG#2: And they work, and shit?
N: Yes, they are all restored and working.
DG#1: They are so cool and old. I love video games!
N: Well, they are pinball machines, and some of them are less than a year old.
DG#1: Bro, let's get a video game! (smiling at his partner) Are they for sale?
N: I don't think so......(says something unintelligible)
DG#2: Forget it dude, we can get one from Craigslist......I just need you to sign here.......

While I'm sure I have a right to view my security cam footage, I'm not sure I have a right to publicly post it if the people in the recording did not know they were being recorded.

Those would be popular if I ever had to look for a new GF.

I have about 45 machines.

From where they were standing, they would have seen: WH2O, TronLE, TAF, Comet, Space Shuttle, F14, TZ, and HS - in that order.

Can you level and hook up a washing machine?

Cool idea, did the pedestal make the machines any louder from any occurring resonance?

My old machine used to make the whole house hum if it touched any wall, so I put a piece of wood on the floor so it could not move backwards....

Baaaahahahahahahahahahaha!

Yeah, no one could pronounce my name and because i used to fix all the video games, I got assigned "Vid".

The cameras are in OH, but I recorded the videos in NJ - so I'm probably breaking 20 laws across 5 state lines, LOL.

That's exactly why I had my retired nextdoor neighbor let them in:

1. I could take an "Anytime between 8am -7pm" delivery time slot.

2. He was a Sheriff until last year when he retired.

3. He still has the cop mustache (and his Glock).

There is no shame in having a 60-in-one video game in the corner for some quick Galaga action.

Sometimes broads come over and only want to play Ms Pacman....

pics please!

But, let me qualify; I did not buy them at today's prices, they are games left from my route.

I once had 30 Gorgars.

I once had 6 MMs (they never made money for us when they were introduced, so I never bought more).

I once had 40 Stargate (it was a video game from Williams that made insane money).

One.

As the whole videogame/pinball coin-op biz turned into Crane games, I sold off everything and closed down the warehouse. By that time I may have only had 3 Gorgars.

You guys would have loved the glory days of pinball. Walking into the arcade and seeing 4 brand new Gorgars side by side.......

Full time.

Back then you did not need to do anything else to earn a VERY comfortable living.

And I need not remind you that it was an ALL CASH business.....lol.
