Do you have any Redemption games in your gameroom?

So we all have vids and pinballs. Other than Skeeball, how many people have a redemption game or two in their gameroom? I always thought a Wacky Gator would be fun to have.
 
I don't have a redemption but I do plan to add one or two. There is a hill climbing machine I really like and I'd like to add a claw game. I do have a Bio-Rhythm machine, it's not a redemption but I consider it to be in the same category. Of course I'd like to add a skeeball as well.
 
I used to have a Screamin Slopes, it never worked right and took up as much room as a pinball machine, and even if I got it to work it looked like the kind of game which I'd be sick of after two tries.

I finally parted it out and have almost two complete boardsets for sale if anyone is interested.

Considering the name on it, you should find a skill crane like my Drew's Tiger Paw...

im planing on getting a crane as well, possibly a speder stomp, and smoken token style coin dropper dealy
 
I picked up a Hollywood Skill Crane. The only problem is the size, I didn't know it was a LARGE when I bought it... Oh well.
 
My son would like me to get a crane someday. I just am so limited on space it's hard to find the room for one.

I don't have any but would like to get a Wacky Gator as well oneday and maybe a Wac-a Mole too.
 
I've got that Flintstones Lucky Egg machine with prizes in each egg.

I do. I have a Glendale Parrot Egg Redemption machine. It is a parrot in a huge wire bird cage. You put in a quarter and it is animatronic, so it moves it's tail, wings and beak and talks to you, then gives you a plasic egg with a prize in it. Pretty cool, I remember them from grocery stores and video rentals way back when. I should get some pictures of it, I can't find any info on it on the web.
 
at present i don't have any redemption games, as i don't have the room, but once i have a full fledged good sized game room and kids, i think i'll add a redemption game.
 
I have a Aftershock and a Full Court Frenzy II. Neither were a sought after acquisition.

The Aftershock was free from a local arcade. The said it wasn't working right but all I had to do was clean it and adjust the sensitivity of the opto-boards to get it 100%. PLUS there were 352 (0.90") tokens in the bottom! The only downside is that the backglass (pinball style) is missing and I haven't been able to find one. A manual would be nice as well. *Cough*Wink*Elbow...anyone :)?

The Full Court Frenzy II was a CL find. It wasn't working and the guy sold it for $80. I tracked the problems down to a few bad wires and a locked up motor. Found some used parts and its 100%. This game is so much fun with a few buddies and beers. The downside is the 9' height requirement; it lives in the garage.

The redemptions games I have "stumbled" upon have brought many hours of tinkering/entertainment. Now if only I could get everyone to take their 'effing redemption tickets home with them I wouldn't have to disconnect the ticket mechs.
 
I have a Klondike Token Pusher, a 1973 Sega Skill Digger Table Top Claw machine which I had working all of 30 seconds, Also a UB-QB that doesn't work. All of those are in AR. I have owned 4 Dinoscores, Pop-A-Ball,several egg machines, and a Wheel Em In (I think). If I won the lottery I would buy a working Dinoscore, Flamin Finger, Slam a Ball, Color Wheel (What ever it's called), and a couple other.
