Those machines look to be in surprisingly good condition considering they were left in a ship at the seaside!

Very cool. I always enjoy seeing lost or forgotten items. A collector's dream.

Makes you wonder how many vintage pins and arcade games are still out there just waiting to be found.

Back in my home town, Recife (Brazil), there is a man who owns several businesses, including a arcade that has been shut down for many years. However, on paper, that arcade still operates (for money laundering purposes). He won't part with any of the machines because he needs to own them in order for his scheme to work. People who are close to him claim there are about twenty DMD pins and assorted arcade games locked up in a warehouse. Among the pins, DMD classic like The Addams Family, Scared Stiff and Twilight Zone.

It's a damn, damn shame.
