A couple more. Pinball...Pinball neon sign was on the wall at Ron Salny's location Video Video in New Jersey. A well known pinball spot for about a decade. Ron gifted it to me after it closed and has hung on the back wall of my business since mid 2000's. My store front has an old triangle sign...

I've got one with some history. Early in the 1900's there was a company that made B B gun ranges called Rifle Sport, these signs hung on canvas fronts on the counter the guns laid on. Now around 1946 an arcade opened at 812 Hennepin Ave in Minneapolis, Minnesota and was named Rifle Sport. My...

I find something that looks like anything on the floor in my business, I now save it at least a year. About 1980 I found a tiny black cylinder, maybe a half inch high. Couldn't figure it out. Threw it in the trash. Shortly after found an Atari video game, with a control panel switch the center...

Small flat nosed pliers. Got it in 1973. Great for adjusting leaf blades. It has been my go to for many things besides that. LTG : )

Sorry his Sente idea didn't pan out. Sell cabinets, lease game cartridges. Would have made him the largest operator in the world. He did finally sell cartridges. By then no one cared. I questioned his leasing cartridges. If it's a great earner does he want it back sooner ? If it's a flop how...

I picked them up at my distributor. Posters too, and other advertising items. LTG : )

I had a sit down pole position in my arcade. Along the rear of the seat was a gap. So a lot of people lost change there. When it was time to trade the game in, I wasn't going to send money with. So near the rear corners on the bottom I cut about 2 inch holes on both sides. Then using a two...

Rare would include any 1967 or earlier quarters. They'd be silver. Might be some 1968 & 1969 quarters too, not most. Or these : 1906 Small Crown Canadian Quarter. ... 1936 Dot George V Canadian Quarter. ... 1911 Godless Canadian Quarter. ... 1947 Dot Canadian Quarter. ... 2000 P Caribou...

My initials started as a joke. About 1975 before video games saved scores and initials, when you turned a game on all the scores and initials would be zero. So if I turned a game off. Repaired a joystick or button. Turned the game back on. Played a game to be sure it was working. I'd get high...

Stand up or sit down ? When it was new I put a huge sit down with the moving carriage in my business. To get it in my business I took the carriage off the base, and brought it in in two pieces. Had a glass company remove two windows, moved it in. Replaced the glass. And then reassembled it. As...

Double sheathed industrial grade plywood on sit down MACH 3. Wasn't any lighter. They didn't worry about operators. They were supposed to have their own man power to move equipment. And for most locations was a simple in and out. Not like houses with stairs, twists and turns, narrow doorways...

My place was always on quarters. No tokens. Kept me alive when the video game fad bubble burst and token wars started. 5 for a $, then 10 for a $, then 20 for a $, etc. etc. The places on tokens were all ready sliding off the cliff, why jump ? LTG : )
