Not a bad auction, picked up a "Die Hard" Arcade for $25 and a Merit Megatouch IV for $37.50
The Die Hard had a cart error, got it home, reseated the cart, and it plays perfectly.
The Megatouch worked fine but wasn't taking coins. Pulled it apart, and there were 3 quarters jammed in the mech, cleaned them out and it works fine as well.
Didn't take down any of the prices, as again they were not writing them on the machines (and I forgot to bring a pen) There was a ton of people taking down prices, but none seem to have posted them... next time I'll have to remember.

Only problem is the thing is too big to fit through the gameroom door.
I should be able to get it in with a few Ross Gellar like PIVOT! moves...
Also been working on my Williams multigame. Got the cab mostly sanded down, still need to do a bit more sanding before starting on rebuilding the bottom part.
You can see the Robotron 2084 sideart peeking through the black paint. Sadly I couldn't save any of it, as the person who repainted it used an oil based paint rather than latex, so only the most powerful paint stripper would take it off, and in the process ruin the artwork below.
Here's a pic of the side after most of the paint has been stripped away, and I started sanding.
And this is after most of the sanding has been completed, there's still a bit of paint left to finish.
More to come on this.
