Description: This is from the distributors stock we bought. We finally started to go through the thousands of manuals, schematics, etc the distributor had accumulated since the late 1930's. In some cases (and we will note this on a listing) there are game folders that have a lot of additional paperwork such as factory bulletins, modification notices and even some items denoted "only for distributor or do not put in game or give to operator or CONFIDENTIAL" There is a lot of video game paperwork going back to Pong, Electro Mechanical arcade games, pinball EM and SS from the 1950's to 1990's, jukebox paperwork for Rockola, Rowe/AMI, Seeburg, Wurlitzer and NSM. The distributor we bought out was in San Francisco since the 1930's and would receive many prototype/test pieces from factories, especially local companies such as Atari and other Silicon Valley based companies. The owner of this company was known for negotiating the deal to bring Pac-Man to the USA. OUR STORY (that goes back almost 40 years):The buying and accumulation started in the mid-1980’s. First buying out (5) operators in 4 states of all their EM pinballs and parts inventory. That added up to over 1000 EM pins (most have been sold off over the years) and enough parts to fill up (2) 40 foot containers.Then the route was started and several more local operators were bought, as well as, San Francisco’s oldest operator (since 1952) of jukeboxes and games.Then we bought out the oldest parts distributor in California (since the 1930’s) as well.For years the accumulated inventory of tens of thousands of parts sat buried untouched and hard to get to.Over the last several months the inventory was moved and organized and NOW FINALLY its going up for sale.As we unpack and go through the items, we will be listing them for sale. Please follow our auctions as this mass of inventory begins to hit the market.WHAT’s COMING UP FOR SALE:PINBALL: Gottlieb, Williams, Bally, Chicago Coin, United (bingos too), Data East, Sega & Stern NOS parts (not reproduction) and used parts going back to the 1940’s.JUKEBOXES: Rowe/AMI, Rock-ola, NSM, Seeburg & Wurlitzer NOS & used parts.VIDEO: Atari, Midway, Capcom, Konami & dozens of other brands of NOS & used parts.As well as: Arcade, Change Machine, Vending, Cigarette Machine and more.MANUALS & SCHEMATICS: We have an accumulated library of virtually every pinball machine, bingo machine, arcade game & video game going back to the early 1950’s up through recent years.
