Coin-Op Chop Shop

Coin-Op Chop Shop Coin Operated Machines, Parts & Accessories and Manuals. Home video games and consoles as well. Sometimes they are too far gone and need to be euthanized.

Coin-Op Chop Shop is the proud warehouse/workshop of both P.E.T.A* (People for the Ethical Treatment of Arcades) & ASPCA* (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Arcades) Our mission goal is to rescue neglected/mistreated machines and match them with a loving owners. Usually machines aren't fully restored but gotten back into mostly working order so others can envision ownership and not

be over whelmed. Coin Op Chop Shop's reduce, reuse and recycle policy helps make zero waste. Unique parts that should still be in working order are sold or traded and broken ones thrown away or listed as such. Common harvested parts are frequently used to revive and resuscitate dead ones. CCS is not a NPO (want to make a profit someday) but does have reasonable rates.

Arcade monitors
I've got about 50 arcade monitors
Don't be a cheap ass punk be**ch and put LCD's in cabs
Friends dont let friends retro game on LCD's

Most of them are broken 15-19-25" CGA RGB Standard RES 15khz - US distributed brands (sorry I don't have sanyatsu's for your cutie)
They're complete with chassis / low to no burn in and I had tested the tubes for leakage once upon a time.
These should just need the chassis sent it and repaired or you can do it yourself if you're skilled like that.
$75 broken up to $400 working

19' Vertical Monitors $150 up to $475 working
Tons of working 14" vga xga monitors $40
Some working 27-29" CGA monitors $175
2 working 27" dual sync CGA/EGA Standard Med res 15khz-24khz $250 Hantrix Polo
Dual Sync 29" CGA/VGA Standard/High Res $400 (built in isolator and tateable)
I think I've got a couple showcase 32" monsters with broken chassis $75
I might still have some 25" standard res Wells Garners with no chassis $40
Might have a couple 19 and 25" chassis left

Tons of yokes and deflectors

I've shipped dozens out and haven't had a problem but these are fragile so I'd really rather have local pickup
Located in NE Indiana by Indianapolis / Chicago / Detroit / Toledo / Cincinnati / Cleveland
Shipping is at least $100 for smaller monitors and up to $300 for larger / sending freight pallet
It's been a while I'm not sure of the current rates but it's not cheap and I need money for shipping materials / handling

If your serious grab yourself by the belly and send me a message.

American Laser Games Arcade System Complete

$2,100 Shipped (Priority & Insured) To mainland US, will ship to other countries as well.

Comes with the following:
Amiga 500
Sony Laserdisc Player
2 game guns
Needed cables, adapters & power supplies
(you will need a standard composite video & sound cable - yellow white red)

The following laserdiscs & game Pcb cartridges
1. Who Shot Johnny Rock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NmYM92Bs94
2. Space Pirates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGlyEltwGDs
3. The Last Bounty Hunter

5. Crime Patrol
6. Crime Patrol 2 – Drug Wars
7. Mad Dog McCree
8. Mad Dog 2 – The lost Gold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYPO4WpPwiU
Man what the heck I made videos to all of these somebody took them down or something.

--Need to look more, should have a manual and two player gun adapter--

This is the complete collection except Gallagher’s Gallery (had the pcb but sold it a couple months ago)
I’ve also heard there was a Platoon prototype made, ran across some people who claimed to have had it but I’ve never seen the game footage or it running.

These items will ship in about five packages you’ll need to read the manual http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/tech/manuals/alg_m.zip on how the plug back in all the cables and how the system operates.

The Pcb’s have a RTC chip that saves the settings for everything. The batteries go dead over time.

If the battery has gone dead it will give you a error message on start up. Let it startup and run for awhile, maybe change some of the settings. If you turn it off and back on again and the error message persists then the battery has gone dead.
Luckily none of the code is encrypted (no su***de) and the chips are socketed so you just have to find a new one and pop it on.

The Amiga is yellowing and chipping, I cut the case in half so you can slide over the keyboard and fit in the game cart. These always came with just the motherboard. I have not checked out any other functionality of the Amiga except for with these games.
Sorry it’s expensive, it’s all in the Laserdiscs (I paid $100-300 each) Pcbs ($30-70 each) Guns ($100 each)

I had another one similar to this with that I pieced together with extra crappier parts and only two games Mad Dog and Crime Patrol and it sold for a bit shy of $900 fairly quickly (around 7 years ago)

This is actually the Arcade Hardware running the game. It uses an Amiga 500 to run the program code and a laserdisc player for the video.

Coming Soon Galaga! Almost done waiting for a different board. I thought the monitor had a bounce to it but it looks like it wasn't the monitor but the cartridge. Should be getting another one in a few days. This was originally a Galaxian I believe. When I found it it was a Mx5000. I thought it would look good as a Galaga. I hand painted it. I redid the electronics on the inside. It had that color t-molding in it already and I thought it really popped it off so I replaced it with the same color. Brand new art, front, sides, control panel, marquee and a kick plate. What I most like about this one is it's body style. It's shorter than most games almost like a mix between a mini and a fullsize game. That top is really cool and I like the angle the screen comes down.

I should have a Cabal rebuilt in a couple days to try and sell again.

The Sega Stv/Titan system is what the Sega Saturn was based on. It also uses the Jamma game standard. You can also install horizontal, standard joystick, 3 button or less games.

I met with the new property owner and he's offered to keep renting to me. I'm going to keep with my plans though and try and liquidate as much as possible by months end and want to take this more into hobby mode like originally intended. At least my backs not against the wall now.

Nobody bought my Hang-on shell for $40.
Good thing I took the monitor out of it and thought I'd just test it real quick to see if it had any signs of life whatsoever. Turns out it was almost a drop in for the game I tested it on, Thunderblade.
I needed to put a plug on the power cord...but wow ... wow, it turns out the game worked. Controls, sound, everything. Cleaned it up, spray painted it, put in some new lamps/bulbs. Calibrated the monitor but I still want to rejuvenate it...some other little things but here's how it turned out at the end of the day!

Whelp it's official as of late this afternoon.
I've known for a couple months that the owners were going to auction the place off (and most of their stuff and other parcels of land), what I didn't know was what it meant to me.
I decided shortly after I found out that this place has largely been a money pit and maybe it's best that I move on.
I see this venture as heavily relying on the upper/middle class with a decent market and strong consumer sentiment.
I don't see things getting remarkably better in the next 6 month to a year.
It's been been going on five years now and I have yet to show a strong profit.
Late last year until May of this year were pretty decent though.

All six plots of land sold for less than what I valued one of them at (the one that used to have a bar on it)
but I knew when I heard from the auctioneers the way the auctions were structured that it was likely to sell as one large lot for more money than I have or could likely get a hold of.

I have until New Years to get my stuff out of here now.
