Here's a closer look at "U Select-It."  I'd guess this machine to be from the late 40's, judging by the art deco font type used on the plate. If you know the exact year or years this particular vending machine was produced, please email me.

I'd say these could be considered project pins.

Missing a back door for your EM?  There was a wide assortment for sale.  Always measure your game before you leave, and bring that measuring tape with you.  Shows are great places to find the parts you need.

Here's a 1969 Chicago Coin "Super Circus" gun game which I had never seen before.

Before buying a gun game, always know the measurements of the basement door.

I played a lot of black light gun games when I was a kid at arcades in Coney Island. I've always been amazed at the effects produced with a mirror, cardboard, some moving targets, and a bunch of relays.

What you are shooting at is in the bottom of the cabinet.

The mirror at the top allows you to see what's at the bottom of the cabinet, which I always thought was a cool illusion.

There were plenty of coils for sale.

Other items of interest in the flea market was this new old stock Cleopatra backglass...

and this oddity, "Barn Yard Golf."  What the heck is it?  How old is it? Who made it? Any info, please email me.  Looks like some sort of candy or gum vending machine on the right.  Any info on what that is, again, please email me.

Inside the show was "The Pinball Lifter."

This would be "The Pinball Lifter."

This was one of my favorite EMs at the show.
