Not too much going on neo wise. Two conversions (street slam/ ninja combat cab and bust a move cab) and a dedicated machine (samurai showdon 2?) without the plug for the power supply. Not too many pcbs for sale too. 3 or 4 of those multicade/ultracade machines were there, nothing out of the ordinary. I wish I had the money and means of transportation for that Sega Rally 2 2 player sitdown machine- how much did that go for? They had a streetfighter conversion with one of the worst button layouts I have ever seen, buy my highlight of the day was the track and field cocktail that shocked me when I played it :p .

I missed it due to the fact an op I know who was at the preview last night said it was nothing spectacular.

How many machines were there?

The signs on the winding road to the Expo center said 800+++ machines but I'd honestly say possibly 300-400 max including pins.

I was'nt fanmiliar with the auctioneer and I don't have room for a cab so just for the fact I did'nt know what to expect,I passed on it.
The only Arcade Auctioneer I have the upmost respect for is SUPER AUCTIONS.
When you attend one of his events,you can bet you'll be treated to a nice display and pickup a few giveaways!
FT Washington Expo center is a nice facility BUT they have to lure a more reputable clientel.
Anyway,I would love yo get my hands on a Samurai Shodown II dedicated cab in Tip Top condition but I suspect this particular one was ROUGH.
How much did the converted cabs and the dedicated SSII sell for???
If a converted cab is cheap enough,what I did in the past was GUT the converted cab on the premises and give away the case or break it down and discard it at the dump.
Did they have any classics like Ms.Pac-Man?? This game is still popular in it's dedicated form after what? Twenty years now?
