Below are a few pictures of what is left of many many video games, pinball games and jukeboxes.
So many that I would have had to walk away from the Grave Yard a considerable distance to get a picture of the whole grounds�
So what happened: The building was left as a storage shed for years.. As time went on, bit by bit, a bunch of kids began dismantling the building for wood and building materials to make forts.
A few more planks were taken by other interested parties� Well eventually, the building collapsed (maybe during the winter months)
and everything got sandwiched. About 500 to 1000 games were destroyed in minutes. This happened approximately in the year 2000.
Since then, the rest of the building�s structure has been pillaged and the games beated up by kids, burned and/or the weather has taken its toll.
A very humbling and sad experience.
I did find an Eliminator 2-player sit down and removed the Boards, I took one side of the control panel and a PCB board off the Power Supply.
I did find the remains of a Dig Dug Mini. I took the control panel and the marquee. I could not save anything else�
This would be a great site to spend a day; but I do not have the time. There is a ZEKTOR in their somewhere. I found the marquee.
The same operator owed back taxes on two other building of the same size and Arcade Game numbers magnitude.
He did not give a hoot, did not pay the taxes, so the council in 2000 (approximately) bulldozed the buildings, reduced the building
and contents to splinters and buried everything.
Please.. These photos are mine.. If you want to use them. Ask first. Thx, Darryl
