Flim Flam pickup

[spaceinvaded]

This pickup is the end of a long drought of not getting any new games. This is a Meadows Games Flim Flam Model 320, 4-player cocktail. I'm excited because it's a piece of early arcade history from 1974.

Ive been looking at picking one of these same units up close to me. Super clean, nice find man.

I have a spare untested pcb I could sell if you need one.

I almost picked up this one, but I think it was a Grand Slam "5" (the PCB was pulled, but close by).

Is this one really a Flim Flam?

If we truly are dedicated to the mission statement of this site, then sometimes it requires that a purchase be made to further that mission. So good job! Long after we are gone, these games in the end will be the rarest of them all...

I can't find any pictures of a "Grand Slam 5", but that cabinet looks exactly like the Flim Flam cabinet. So you didn't end up getting this game?

I must have the Model F-1 as shown in this flyer, because I have the "padded simulated-leather pedestal"!

Quote from flyer: "Our padded simulated-leather pedestal suits your plusher locations while the rich walnut-grained formica top prevents scratching so your game always looks good."

Allegedly Flim-Flam (models CT-1 and CT-2) use 12" monitors and Flim-Flam (model F-1) uses a 19" monitor.

I couldn't get the the game out of the location without moving everything else around first.
I did buy the PCB, though, in a bulk buy of other "condition unknown" PCBs that were (literally) scattered around.

I would still like to go back and pick up the cab.
