Good progress over this year since the first mention of the hardware was back in January 2018. Kudos to everyone involved.

A pisser, but not surprised when products are handled in this manner.

imo the more troubling losses would have been the Sega games with 1089 or 1094 protection and the Gaelco games with their protection. Thanks to some smart contributors that knew their stuff, some of the various arcade games won't be lost.

As for coin operated arcade items that use storage media that is fragile and is a priority should be the floppy diskette based games, and games that use tape media storage (DECO cassette hardware and Kee Games Quiz Show tapes etc).

God there's a blast from the past. Me and my sister had that eKara system and two cartridges for it. I can't remember specifics but I know the songs Moulin Rouge, Hot Stuff atleast were on them. It's been so long I dont think anyone has access to it anymore. Think it actually broke which is a shame now.

The only thing I still have is the video cable (three RCA to 4-pole 3.5mm jack) which worked on my PSone LCD, which I used to connect the LCD to a DVD player in the day. Worked really well all things considered
