The high score was 140,000. I tried several times but stalled at around 130,000. Finally, on my last game on the last day of the month, everything went my way and I scored 320,000. Now I have to wait for some good Saturn stuff to get traded in so I can spend my prize.

That the one in Southington? If so I remember when they opened. They had a terrible selection but I would ALWAYS find at least something to buy. The owner was really cool to. Unfortunately I moved from there almost 6 years ago to Seattle.

No, that's a different store. Retro Games Plus has stores in Norwalk, Orange (where the DK machine is), and Newington. I live only a few miles from the Newington store - they always seem to have great stuff.
@tyler above - great haul. Seems odd that someone who buys storage units for a living can't be bothered to sell the valuable games he finds.

Last picture I will post of this. I made some labels for the inputs. Luckily someone on my local Facebook retro gamer group already had a template sized perfectly. I just had to drop in some logos and print.
I guess I need to buy one more console to fill in the last slot. Keeping an eye out for a cheap AES or consolized MVS. ;)

He's an older gentleman and it appeared to be more of a hobby than an occupation. I got the impression that there are certain things he looks for like precious metals, jewelry, and old tools. Everything else - items like clothing, old electronics, kitchenware, etc - just piles up in his garage and he sells it all off dirt cheap to make room for more.

A while back MY GF made me these with her vinyl cut machine. http://www.mediafire.com/file/7apg4wg4wh9gth4/IMG_0093.MOV

Those look good too. What kind of switch box are you using?
