| I first went to Old Sled Works on Wednesday, October 6,
2004, the day before setup at the White Rose Gameroom
Show. I figured it would be cool to check out a real penny
arcade, since I spent many summers in Coney Island arcades. I
enjoyed playing the pins, gun games, and also the driving games, like
Chicago Coin's Motorcycle, which I played endlessly in Coney Island
years ago. Since October, 2004, I've been back to Old Sled Works
a few times, most recently on April 16, 2005.
Many pics were originally taken with my 1996 Sony FD-7 Mavicam digital camera, but I also used a 35 mm generic camera and scanned the pics. I have since switched to a Vivitar Vivicam 3750 3 mega pixel digital camera, which runs on AA batteries. No more hard to find battery packs. Just bring along a pack of Duracell batteries and you're ready to go. In April, 2005, when I went back to Old Sled Works, I took lots of high resolution digital pics, and whenever possible, replaced the older pics with fresh new ones. I now have close to 150 pics online of this tour, including almost 70 high resolution pics. Questions or comments, email me. Enjoy the tour. See you at Old Sled Works! |

 Watch some classic "Three Stooges" on vintage tv sets, and YES, they actually work, with crystal clear picture quality, which I have never seen anywhere. There is a protective plexiglass piece in front of the sets I guess to protect them. I remember this Pepsi machine on the left at practically all gas stations when I was a kid. |
 No, the sets are not for sale, as for as I know, so get here early to enjoy the entertainment. Even on a weekday, some of the sets are running. |
 Relax in a vintage barber chair when you walk in and enjoy the show. |
 Go down the hall and check out....... |
all kinds of arts and crafts. |
