Re: Spicers Auction 24.11.2023

I used to own a later version of the Chicago Coin "Basketball Champ." Same game, different case. It was a fantastic game and a delight to play. The original version, offered here, is well worth the starting bid, provided it works.

Re: Saleroom roundups

$553 USD for a Bryans Hidden Treasure?? Blimey. The Yanks are blithering idiots. Someone stole this machine.

The American TV show "60 Minutes" ran an episode on the Isle of Man TT race last Sunday: https://www.iomtt.com/news/2023/10/22/t ... us-tv-show

It's an insane race.

Re: Early Memories

Wow! What a terrific story, coppinpr. It could well serve as the basis for a movie. It has everything: money, criminals, foreigners and a young lad in the middle. Someone call Spielberg.

Re: pom pom gun id

Dale Electronics produced a game called Pom Pom Gun in 1958. There was no picture of the machine but I'm pretty sure it is your game. There was also a game named "Sky Gunner" made by Genco in 1952 but the picture shows a different machine. Military themed arcade games were very popular in...

He's figured out the play mechanism in back but the playfield in front is still somewhat a mystery. I'm hopeful he will authorize pictures once he has the game sorted. J Peterson Boloed-O...

Ell's Diabolo

Put on your sleuth hats, lads; a discovery needs some research. I've been contacted by another Yank who has a Diabolo. There is a picture in the Discoveries area from a 2012 posting by Jingle: " Six-Pot Jack Pot, DiaBolo & 3 early BM Co.s. " There is no further information regarding th...
