Please help me save the games stuck in Banning

Donation protected
Hello friends, this is Richie Knucklez pleading for your help,
Years ago I sent out close to 100 classic arcade games to The Museum Of Pinball with the intent of
moving out there and joining forces with John Weeks. Without getting in to too much detail, many know the ill fate the MOP suffered. With rising gas prices and fighting against the clock, I will get down to brass tacks. I have 2 truckloads of games that will be lost including the entire cache of 12+ Donkey Kongs used for the Kong Off. My good friend Kelly volunteered to help me get out to CA, load up and drive two trucks filled with classic arcade games back to NJ. This is the main reason why there has not been another KONG OFF. Sadly the Donkey Kongs are stuck somewhere in a building on the Banning complex, now being used for "Other" kind of business. All quotes I have received have been more than 12K. I am scared to go back and get quotes now with the current state of the world. Time is not on my side. I plan on re-opening a new arcade, and the titles in jeopardy of being lost are 2 Star Trek Captains Chairs, Missile Command Cockpit, Kiss Pinball, Major Havoc, 12 MINT Kong Off Donkey Kongs just to name a few. If we are indeed able to raise this money (in a short amount of time), a film maker friend is willing to help, as well as film to document this insane trip. Part of me thinks, combining the film footage from all prior Kong Offs with this footage would make for a very interesting documentary. Please know I am desperate, and I have tried for months to save up enough money to get them back on my own but I am out of time. Please consider helping my cause and feel free to reach out to me with any ideas or advice. Thanks so much for taking the time to consider helping me keep the arcade dream alive. Your Friend,

Richie Knucklez
