OK, so I was asked to make a little room for Amy to park her new car.  Not a problem- but I kinda had to think about this for a bit, because the garage is still harboring about 14 machines, and a few that I am working on for friends and other collectors, so there really isn't a lot of options.  And when you live in a snooty neighborhood like this, you can't really pull stuff out and burn it, or leave it on your back patio for the desperate housewives to scoff at.  So, only a few options were left, and frankly I am tired of all of this shit piling up- I give away about $5,000 worth of shit every year- transformers, power supplies, monitors, boards, joysticks, you name it.  I have given friends or other collectors several chances to get some of this stuff out of the shop, but everyone just kinda drags their feet forever- so I don't want any mail like "Way to destroy a classic, asshole"  or "How could you do that to Space Invaders?" because once again, year after year there has been AMPLE  time for anyone who wanted any of this to come get it.  And there it sat.  Waiting around for me to deliver it is a waste of time anymore- I'm done.  So Joey & I found a few I could live without.  And again- here's everyone's favorite Husqvarna.

I decided to go ahead and gut a Missile Command cabinet that had been converted to Hyper Sports, since I didn't have the time to hunt down a missile command board...and after I had pulled the monitor, harness and switcher from the machine Joey took care of the demolition- in true Roman form- with a claw hammer.

You should have seen the sawdust, glass, metal and plastic FLYING!  It was ridiculous.  We've demolished cabs before, but today, it seemed like we had a little something to get out of our system.  Right when Joe arrived he was saying "I'm in a weird mood today..." so I think the demons were exorcised.  After all the smoke & dust cleared, the broom & shop-vac had to take care of the rest.  And at the end of the day, there is enough room in the garage for 2 cars now- hopefully Amy will have enough room to maneuver in there.  More in the forums- and until next time, cheers!
