Taito Ball Park Overview with the Gameplay and the smell oh god the smell not the smell

Incredibly rare find! I don’t recall seeing that one on the floor when we were at Arcade Expo back in 2018. So it probably was hidden somewhere in some smelly horse stall. 😂

Also on smell. I've had pretty good luck using a Ozone cleaner. Just put it inside the cabinet and back it and run it.

I love Tornado Baseball. Really enjoyed the one i had but ended up selling it on because i rarely had someone to play player 2 with. Not sure which later version started having a single player option. Mine was plwyood. Art on both of them are great. I think you did on this one.

In a contest between him and himself, he won.

I went to an auction that had dozens of arcade and pinball machines. Problem was they were all stored in a barn that was filled with rats. Not mice, RATS. All of the pinball machines had been accessed by the rats and were filled playfield to backglass with rats feces, urine, shells from seed foods and nesting materials. The arcade games weren't nearly as bad although they were hit and miss. The only good thing about it was that none of the games sold for more than $100! Most did not work, a few did like a cabaret Wizard of Wor that I've always wanted. Battlezone had been nested in and didn't work. I just parted out all of the pinball machines as the urine had damaged most of the wood to the point where it wasn't worth repairing, but all of the pcb boards, scoreboards, most of the plastics etc. were well worth what I paid for the machines. I filled a 24 foot uhaul with them for less than $1000 so I was more than happy. Sometimes the mess can get the prices down low, it can be a great bargaining chip.

Yeah you got a good point, that's how I usually buy these. Not pissed out or anything, but nonworking projects. I don't have the capital to spend on premium quality games, but I'm willing to understand what makes them tick and take the steps to get them functional again. Without that knowledge, I wouldn't be close to where I am today.

This is not worth $10K, the previous owner got ripped-off ($1,000 is more accurate for Ball Park/Tornado Baseball), surprised they kept it like that with all that cow sh*t on there, gross. Hope all of that gets cleaned off, that is just fu*king gross.
