The operator company still exists, believe it or not! They're located TWO BLOCKS away from my home. (They used to rent video tapes in the late 80s... I used to go there all the time.)
Now that I think about it, I wonder if they'd be interested in selling their old bootleg stuff or other games they no longer use. It might be worth looking into, for MAME purposes at least. I know next to nothing about arcade hardware, otherwise I'd go myself.
