Grabs so far this year, would like to see other collectors as well.

This year has been quite monumental for me!

Father's Day I told the family they were giving me a pinball machine, lol. I have done my best to both get, and maintain, machines that all would enjoy beyond just me. But I'd been without a working pin for about 8 years, so it was time.

4th of July weekend, we had a party. I ran around and got everything as ready as I could. The day of, Ms. Pac gets her period and won't boot.. at least 3 ppl asked what was up with Ms. Pac. I had to redirect them to the instance on my multi Qix but I was still ready to hurt a small animal bc the timing sucked so bad. The machine came from Coney Island, and had been hacked up like a Harlem Christmas tree. I've band aided it back for 19 yrs but she's tired.

I tell you all this because yesterday I noticed @Terry68Firebird had a nice working one for sale, and I went and picked it up this AM. 63k plays on the odometer! View attachment 835743View attachment 835744

THANK YOU TERRY!!!
That's $15,972.25 1981 dollars, which is $62,618.97 in todays dollars. She did good.
 
Got a smokin deal on this monday night. Gonna play around with it over the winter and put it in the tiny arcade at camp next year. I hear they are great money makers

Picked up the two up right Spy Hunters a few weeks ago out of a warehouse with 12 other machines. . One is complete and board set is working and is pretty nice. Needs some detailing. The other up right is complete minus a monitor still have to go through it. . Needs a good cleaning and going through and it's not as nice as the other …. Took a picture of them on both sides of the spy hunter cockpit I have.

Just a week after picking up my first cocktail I found my second — Midway Space Invaders Deluxe! It will pair well with my recently acquired Pac-Man. It's got some intermittent graphic glitches, so I need to investigate the RAMs but when it's happy it plays really nicely.

Been revering @ToddK's Rally-X he graciously sold me. So very glad to put this one next to the Bosconian. 🙌🏻

I'm glad you bought that and kept me from doing it! I have the Rally-X mini in fantastic condition. But let's be honest....it's really just a place holder for the upright cabinet. :D

Sweet game. My 15 year old nephew came and stayed a week with us last month. He discovered Rally-X and decided he was going to beat the WR. He made good progress but then had to go back to Missouri.

Is your marquee really yellow like that? Or is it just the lighting? Or the camera?
