<---This was a small bulk buy from a building owner, not an operator. The operator had defaulted on payments and abandoned the games. There were about 20 games present in all, in two locations in the building. This was the first view of the first location.

<---This is a closer view from the outside of the first location.

<---Another closer view of location 1. Games were very dirty, but not a bad start!

<---Inside location 1, view 1. Don't remember all the names, there were a couple Night Drivers, and 3 pins, the two shown and a Bally Electra. Several cigaratte machines and a juke box or two.

<---Inside location 1, view 2.

<---This was the initial view of location 2.

<---This was the next closer up view from the outside of location 2.

<---Inside location 2, view 1.

<---Inside location 2, view 2. From the back left, it's an Asteroids Deluxe, Koxmik K'roozer, Asteroids. The next row closer, from the left, Gorf, the back half of the Kozmik K'roozer (that's a big/deep honking game), and Depth Charge. The front row is the Sprint 2, Royal Flush and Astro Blaster conversion in a Star Trek converta-cab (not shown). Xevious is in front. Other than that, there were some cigarette machines and juke boxes in there.

<---A very nice (and very dirty) Kozmik K'roozer where the bottom was totally rotted out. All we could do was take some parts off it.

<---Some kind of early black & white poker game. I know there are ton's of various poker games out there, this one is not listed in KLOV.

<---My buddy that volunteered to let us use his vehicle, getting really dirty.

<---Sprint 2 next to a Gorf.

<---the start of loading up the bounty. We had to pack up a lot of stuff in a small space. We had two more operators to visit this day too.

<---load up #2.

<---load up #3.

<---load up #4. You really didn't think we'd leave those did you?

<---We found this plain looking black & white monitor pong clone game that neither of us had ever seen or heard of before. It was actually in pretty good condition. We decided to take it. If we found something good at the next operator, we'd have to dump this.

<---A close up of the information panel on the cocktail.

<---A close up of the PCB. Every chip is socketed! Should make it easier to fix once trouble shooting is done (for someone who knows what their doing). This game has no EPROMs, but does have some PROMs.

<---The plane top glass, with no indication of a name. Finally we noticed the name on the PCB, Fun Four from Bailey International. Never heard of the game or the manufacturer before. We were wondering if we had found a previously unknown game. But a search of the RGVAC newsgroup shows the game known, including it being MAME'ed (I haven't checked that yet). Someone tried to sell a working one for $50 and couldn't get any takers. Oh well, no gold mine after all!
