Amazing collection!
Out of curiosity: what are your plans with a cab collecting at this size? Any plans do really set them up in any form or open an arcade? Or do you just plan to store them?

Me checking plane tickets foe that arcade opening
I haven't made a list yet
but everything is very common
in France I have a few boxes of old PCBs before Jamma
that I started collecting a long time ago
the internet was in its infancy
when I saw that most operators burned their old games to avoid paying for landfill
I started buying some
he heated their workshop with a wood burning stove
where they burned the machines
he told me he preferred the old roller pinball machines
because the chipboard was of better quality and burned longer
I rent machines so that she continues to give pleasure
pinball machines too
but it's getting more and more difficult
a lot of rooms have closed
it just remains namco
taito and one or two mega groups like round one
but it is very difficult to access
of course I would like to transform the warehouses into fan boy playrooms
but in the form of an association with a contribution each month for members who give access to the machine in free play
but the laws in Japan regarding what is considered a games room are super strict
there are a lot of restrictive rules
and the biggest problem is having enough people who contribute to pay the electricity subscription, consumption and parts to maintain the machines
it is no coincidence that the games rooms have all closed
too many tax rules not enough players

i'm pretty sure if we all lived closer we would all visit, loving the Galaxy force deluxe. 
Yes, when what years ago I put pinball machines and a space harrier DX in one of the last rooms which was sinkingi'm pretty sure if we all lived closer we would all visit, loving the Galaxy force deluxe.
It gave him a boost
I got the space harrier for ¥50
He was successful
But the room had to close anyway
I got my machines back
The boss put the PCBs on sale
And all the cabs
Nearly 250 machines were thrown away
I no longer had room to collect the machines
I tried to offer them to a Dutch importer who resold cabs in Europe
10,000¥ Pieces
To rent the place for the stock rent one or two trucks to transport them pay the labor to do the work
Oh jeez, that is just heartbreaking.
Maybe it's a better idea to be a provider at unrelated events. You bring 20-30 machines for guests to play when they rest a little or between sessions. I'm not sure if anyone is doing that in Japan already.
I've seen much worse
Yes I do rentals for events
I have rented for weddings for example
I was thinking of offering low-cost rental to individuals
The Japanese often change their passions
Knowing that he can rent a cabin for a while with, for example, a multi game card
And that the day he doesn't want it anymore you take care of everything
It could be a good way to keep the cabs alive

THANKS
I too am amazed every time when I open the door of one of the warehouses
I feel like I'm walking into an arcade
That's probably why I don't really try to know everything there is
This is the second room to store the PCBs, the panels control the posters and probably the connections
Which I partly emptied
I make shelves with reclaimed wood
To replace metal shelves that are too fragile and impractical

Just dropping by to say hi and welcome. I've lived in Yokohama for the past five years. For about two years I was acting as a Buyee-type proxy buyer for members of this forum. I would properly inspect, test, and re-pack anything they bought. If they bought multiple items I could bundle everything so they'd save on shipping. It was a fun and rewarding little part-time job that let me meet many cool people; I've even met six members on their vacations to Japan! Wish you had shown up to the forum earlier as I would have definitely paid you a visit! I'm moving back to the US for a while in a couple of months but will be back here in the future. It all depends on when the wife becomes homesick again
