Saturday morning, I'm playing this Gottlieb "Atlantis" pin for the first time since around 1977, which I have just bought. |
Here's another one, along with "Olympics," that was not for sale. |
|
This 1938 "Bally Reserve" pin was for sale, missing legs and the coin door, but looked complete otherwise. |
It features a projection unit to display the score. |
There were four shuffle alleys at the show this year. I played the one on the left. |
This "Top Dog" gambling device was priced to sell at just $25. |
This one was also $25. |
Inside the 14 ft truck I rented is this "Space Shuttle" pin, which I bought in the flea market, complete with smoke damage to the head. The backglass, wrapped in cardboard, rode home in the front of the truck with me. I had to reglue a board in the head of the game before I could insert the backglass, which is rough, but useable. |
6:30 pm, just before heading home in the rain, which finally let up with the moon barely visible about an hour before I got home, and stopped a couple blocks from my house. The truck is loaded up, complete with "Buccaneer," which I bought around 10 am, about an hour after the seller had arrived with the game. I remember "Atlantis" in one arcade in Coney Island, with "Buccaneer" to the left, and "Neptune" to the left of that, which I did manage to find a few months after this show took place. |
That "Turbo" vid isn't going anywhere. |
"Buccaneer" and "Atlantis'" heads, both wrapped securely in heavy duty stretch wrap, available at your local hardware store. And that's the end of another show. See you next year. |
