and has been around since the auction. Well Simon, I think that makes it even worse! Spoke with my buddy who won two machines that I only just took hold on his behalf last Fri! He was pissed to hear what you just wrote!! Now this guy has been around the block, serious collector for 30 years and ...

WOW, that's just amazingly brilliant all round!! You must be thrilled Tim. Just goes to show what can happen when two experts in their fields get together. I loved it all, but particularly the sound stood out to me. After having been around machines my whole 55 years the delicate noises are burned ...

The overseas buyer who did get his multiple machines told me a day after the auction that he only had two weeks (from auction date) to get his pieces before he'd be charged storage fees. So I wonder if they were located at the old site where the museum had been?

Post split moved & merged - Site Admin. Just happened to be watching the 1972 Woody Allen film "Play it again, Sam".

Yes PM, truly lethal! I was going to post this anyway. I always remove that ball switch and replace with a microswitch ...

Damn, another one gone, how sad. Had quite a few dealings with Jim over the years and he was always amazingly helpful, even sent me some parts for free.

I've seen this done on various arcade machines to convert for more modern coinage.

had some providence is that it was at one time in the Disneyland Frontier Land Penny Arcade Hey Tim, you'd think that there would be a decent amount of tourist photos taken inside the arcade over the years surely. But then most of those are likely hidden away in family photo albums sadly. I did get ...
