So does this strike a bad nerve with you or do you think it's funny?  I really like Todd Tuckey and his infomercials are really funny.  Look him up on YouTube.  These videos however make me sad.  Some of the oldies going over the edge made me cringe as they could have been salvaged for the enthusiast. 

Anyway...thoughts?

Senseless and sad    !!!!    :60- :60- :60-

todd use to buy  loads of pins off me thur our nj auctions he,s a great /funny guy 1st whats going off the roof isn,t worth a shit, 2nd he doing it to piss off the little boys thats life is the rgp newsgroup , don,t sweat it  those pins were going to the dump anyway

Yeah, that's what it sounds like...items that are way beyond repair.  He seems like a really funny guy and it looks like they've been in business for a long time.  The Omega Race was the game that made me tear up.  That's a super oldie!

Nothing is beyond repair. And even some parts like legs, edge strips etc. for older pins can be hard to come by.  What a waste IMO. :60-

Poppo,

I agree with you. The glass alone even scratched is worth a lot. The raw case gutted could be made into a Pin Mame or something.

Then again I usually weep like a woman everytime they blow up, destroy, dent etc a Austin Martin, Bentley etc in a bond flick.

So sad.....

todd dose try to sell those 1st and if he can,t sell he,ll give them away, but if no takers off the roof they go, home sales were a big biz for us in the 80,s as they were for todd, when i headed- to va from nj i took a truck load of juke ,video,shuffle parts to dump , today I,m trying to find some of those parts I tossed for some of the older jukes I found here that are selling , I knew i only had so much room here  we sent 3x 53ft trailers here full of appox 175- pin,s 50- pre 50 slots, 6- 1950,60,s jukes, 100 jap slots  which i have 16 left,  he dose have a 800 numbe rgive him a call

If they had hit that hood fan housing it would have been a very expensive stunt. The parts would have been worth the effort to strip them down. We miss your auctions Steve. You were the best source for all types of games. I still have my first pachislo that I bought from you.

We miss our auctions in nj too and most of our buyers ,But I don,t miss the taxes and rules   here in va they leave you alone ,hard to sell pin,s but everything else we are selling good

All those guys care about is money and the bottom line... :81-  :101-
They could have easily given them away to game enthusiasts to restore.  :89-
Why not just place an ad in a website like this for people to come pick up?  :103-
instead of destroying them forever?  :52- :60-

In my opinion....not funny.

Disturbing !!!
 :wtf1- :287- :7- :155- :125- :190- :86- :40- :182- :283-

Disturbing, senseless, and all of that stuff.

So many good parts (some that are extremely hard to find, I'm sure) gone to waste, though.

What surprises me is that one of those JACK Wagon's didn't.. fall off the building.
What a waste of energy.
 

too bad one of those funny guys.......ha ha, did not fall off with one of those games! Down here in good ol' Alabama, they do this to slot machines to prove a point?

 :212-

At the very least, some of those machines had good side panels and glass that might have helped someone with their restoration project.  :60- :60-
I stopped watching after about 3 1/2 minutes.  :37- :37- :8- :8-

I was hoping they would hit it, for just that reason >:D, but your post informed me that it wasn't going to happen, so I didn't watch the entire video.

 :37- What a waste.....  Throw them on cl for $50, a hobbyist like myself would be in heaven.  Sigh.....  :60- 

todd tryed to sell them cheap as i said b4  when he couldn,t sell them  he tryed to give them away for free  only after that did he do the roof show the guys rent was very high he need to let go a few wharehouse,s,
