Our local Beef O'bradys has a copy cat machine plays like simon and always give a ball for a prize. My kids love it and I always drop a dollar in it when we eat there. So what better than to get one for our own soon to be game room. Maybe get two! I found two on CL talked to the guy back and forth and went to his house today to look at them. Got both for 50 and he gave me some passes and gift cards to Crazy Pinz in Ft Wayne also. The one with the balls has some lights out and no coin mechs some cosmetic flaws but overall good. The other has no sound and some other lights out cosmetics also but good. I hope to make at least one good one if not both and the kids already went nuts over it.

Cool pickup and nice price. I just wish I had more room to add a couple of games like that.
 
Cool grab. (and cheap too)
I tend to cater to younger kids quite often and they get a kick out of simple yet entertaining machines like those. Lights, sounds, buttons to mash...what more do they need?!? :)
 
Thanks for the compliments guys, I've been watching this one for awhile on CL and finally talked the wife into getting them.

Yeah my kids don't care so much for the older games but they do love to smash the buttons and get the prize. Gonna keep my eye out for a crane also to help that prize factor for the kids. Mine do love the racing games though. My oldest said I can't get rid of my super offroad even if I got a good sitdown in place of it.
 
Have one sitting in one of main shop's rework rooms collecting dust. Been wondering if it works, may have to try it out next week.

I may have to talk you out of that one... I guess it'll cost me at least some cash and working on a juiced up sound board. ;)
 
Nice pickups! I was eyeing those when I went up to Ft. Wayne to pick up an omega race, but just didnt have the room. I was really hoping they would go to a klover. That was a fantastic deal...
 
Those machines are annoying, I have two in my basement storage room that this guy tried to he me to sell for him and no one wanted them. The ones I have are just like that but a football theme

Thanks TVsFrank for leaving them for me. They were on the Muncie CL for awhile too. The guy said he got them at auction so I figure he still made money. He had a bunch of sticker, candy machines but he didn't want to let them go yet. The one just needs a button replacement and three bulbs and switch the coin mechs over from the other one and it should be 100%, so it is working out to be a great deal. I also found $1.85 inside the machines so even better.

I saw one like that awhile back was waiting for it to drop in price. They are a simple game and my kids love them especially since they always get a prize. I used to always play a simon game at Little Ceasers if you got a certain score you got a free pizza of course I never got a free pizza.
