    Check the nooks and crannies

    So I was hired to do a clean out on an arcade repair and storage warehouse (thak ya Lord). I was in the back of the work area and looked in the corner between 2 shelves and saw these

    9 486 chips.. So about half a pound. love it..



    I have been takin pics of the cleanout and will post a seperate thread soon..

    Arcade cleanout?!?!? I would not scrap a single item. But, knowing me I wouldn't sell a single item either.

    The boards sell, working or not, tested or not, on ebay. The coin mechs, switches, joysticks, track balls, wiring harnesses, power supplies, marquees, monitors, repair kits... all valuable. Don't forget the cabinets. It would be a dream come true. Any manuals, posters or advertisements have value also.

    I love arcade units and have built several MAME machines. I need to build another... Yeah, right. As if there is time for that!
