CONTAINER IS HERE??
« on: July 16, 2009, 08:53:06 PM »
Oops sorry... my mistake.... maybe i should retitle this

" THIS IS WHAT 4 YEARS  OF BACHELORHOOD DOES"

 Im moving in with my partner and so the games have to get dismanteld and shifted..

 Im not sure what happened - where the frig did all these machines come from?
Ive got a flat bed truck on Monday that will shift the lot in one go..

 Heres the pics






Unfortunately, this is not all of them - there are 2 more upstairs in the living room

At least the work area is much clearer now... where the hell am i gonna put all this?








Ive actually cheated... 1 pin is left standing, ill move this in the van.. but the thought of not having a good machine to have 5 balls on is too much to bear... this one will be last

What a great collection but that will be some work to move em. Does the new place have room to set them up?
Wanted: GTB Aquarius backglass. Any playfield bits and backglasses from any EMs - nothing is junk to me.

Its usually 'where is my hairdryer?' to the reply 'oh it's out in the shed, had to remove some mylar' or 'oh it's out in the shed, had to do some paint touchups'

Do i have the room??

I THINK so..

New place actually has MORE space to put machines.. i may have cocked up though as im not sure about the access to downstairs.. it might be through the house and down the stairs... now thats not good, gravity will help getting them down, but up again could be an issue.

But i do have another problem.. i have 19 machines all up.. that doesnt include the Juke. I have a further 7 on their way which are in addition to whats there already. I actually have more than that coming, but those are title swaps.

I did  look at all my machines the other day with moving them in mind and finally admitted that my coin op fever is really out of control. But hey! Guess what?? Im gonna be selling some real soon ( well...3).

Tracey already donated the hair dryer to insert removal and she got her own air brush for her birthday also... she understands that i come with a ton of toys too. So long as she promises to never beat my high scores, it could well be a perfect match!
