Lots of stuff at this one, Lots of "Project Games" And I think there
was almost 3 rows of pins too.

Thanks for that price list, Awesome. I had to leave early.

Did anyone get prices on the pins? There were so many, that I'm sure
a bunch went cheap. Not a lot were ever even plugged in.

Results below:
Dig Dug Mini- 410

This was sweet and original.

Wizard of Wor (N/W) 60

Dedicated cab from what I could see. They said there were boards in
it, but I didn't look myself.

APB- 150

Wasn't working (turned off?) at first, but later someone plugged it
in. Very good APB. Pedal needed a little adjustment, but was a great
game in an original cab with a great monitor.

Revolution X- 300

Was in great condition. My boss and I and his son played it a bunch.
Not sure I'd want to own it, but it was a lot of fun to kick my boss's
ass! LOL

Space Invaders Mini- 135

Wow, really? That was a sweet little mini Space Invaders. Thought it
would have went for a lot more.

Turbo Mini- 100

This was really a nice mini. Especially if they got it working. The
monitor was crisp. Both gages looked fixed. Needed somework on the
wheel since it was rough.

Gauntlet Dark Legacy- 325

This was in great condition, only one bad joystick that wouldn't move
left. Monitor needed a little tweaking, maybe.

*Dead Rows Part 2*
Ikari Warriors- 40

This was in a nintendo cab (I think) with non-SNK ball stick
rotaries. The screen was in need of a cap kit, but it was working
fine. I really, really wanted this, but couldn't stay... :( I'd
take it for $60 off of whoever won it! :)

Operation Wolf- 10

This was mostly working except for a board that had fallen over the
monitor and seemed to be blocking the gun.

But, the rest of the junkers, yeah, there was something weird about
them. They were NASTY. Horrible.

The real deal of the day was that Red Baron Cockpit. I played one
just like it, just once, at a Holiday Inn, the night after my brother
busted my front tooth off in the Holidome pool. I must have put $5 or
$10 in that machine in one night. I was so depressed at losing that
tooth. Except for missing a grommet, and needing a slight vector
tweak, it was perfect. I actually stopped in mid sentence when I saw
it. So Sweet. I figured it was going to go $800-1200.

From what I could tell, the pins went for about normal. I don't know
much about pins, but it seemed like the prices were about the same as
previous auctions, there just seemed to be a lot more than normal (of
course there were a lot of those huge bingo type machines too, that
went really cheap as always...). I would have probably wrote them
down, but I went to lunch when they were auctioning them off, and by
the time I got back, they had finished them, and people were already
getting them ready to go.

The Turbo Mini they did get working before it sold, and a part of me
is kicking myself for not bidding higher on it.
