I've been up on the second floor a few times and the results were pretty mixed. One time I went they had several really nice games that were "awaiting some repair" but they weren't for sale. Other times it was shelled out JAMMA cabs and pretty generic stuff. The last time I was there they had a near-flawless Joust that someone had dropped off for repair but never came back and paid the bill. I told them to call me if they decided to sell it, but I didn't hear back. I called out of the blue to check up on it, and they said that they had sold it a couple of days earlier.

I'll miss having Struve around because they actually liked me for some dumb reason. They'd give me good deals on games, and I got to poke around in their spare parts section from time to time. When they shut down I was really surprised they didn't give me a call, because I was always willing to throw money their way to take projects off of their hands. It's a shame if they trashed those cabs.

I'm not sure of the details, but I think Struve cleaned out their building
via dumpster.  I drove by one Sunday about a month ago and saw a huge
construction dumpster behind the building filled with colorful wood.
 However, I was running my daughter to a destination and forgot about
swinging by on the way back.  The second floor looks awfully empty through
windows from the street.  I have no idea if anything good was tossed.  I've
never been above the ground floor of that building myself.  They've always
treated me like crap every time I've asked.
