anyone own a whack a mole?

So, a small compressor - at least these days.

Edit: Small size/tank.

Yep... the units we scrapped had three sections, so it had to fire maybe three cylinders per second.
Both the units had 100 PSI compressors in them.
Biggest problem with that game was the cylinders got leaky and the compressor would run almost constantly.... and kids would steal the mole heads when the retaining sleeves got loose from vibration.
We bought new ones from Bob's space racers but it got to the point it just wasn't worth keeping them going.... not to mention the damn things were big and hard to move. SO we sent them to whack-a-mole heaven. I think we kept some parts lying around though.

We just fired two off to the dump.
I have the compressor out of one in my barn.... nice 100PSI unit.

Now why the heck would you do that?

Must have been "whacked out".

Too hard to keep them running and they take up too much space to store.
Very noisy game...high maintenance.
We scrapped two whack-a-moles, a Galaxy Force, A coaster Rider Express, and a crapload of video games... I'd like to see a few Afterburners go next.
We hung on to four Tron cabinets for sentimental reasons I think lol.
Now if we would clear out the 150 or so monitors and 100+ cocktail tables we have in storage I'd be a happy camper.

If I was anywhere near there I would help get rid of as many monitors as I could store Plus cocktail tables I have been wanting a few for a while. I thought about Wack A mole and was wondering if anyone had one. If I found one I would buy it I bet I could get it for under $20 no problem but I bet most are long gone due to the breakdown factor mentioned and the fact that no one really wants one.
