I found some service slips in the Phoenix machine I just bought.

the letter head says
Wometco Amusements, Inc

the location reads Fairlanes
address reads Marlow

dates are from 1983.

Service man Mac? initials MS.

I googled "fairlanes marlow" and came up with a bowling alley and pics from
1983

I looked in the backround of the pics for arcade machines and came up with nothing..
anyone have any info on this place or anything like that? Would like to find the history of this machine.

the bottom right hand corner looks like a powered off arcade machine... hmm
 
true story

You are in luck.
I grew up in Miami Florida in the 1970s

Wometco Theatres and Wometco Amusements, owned by a Miami billionaire named Wolfson, I kissed his daughter once and it haunts me forever.
Wometco Amusements was not as big as Wometco Theatres, that one was huge, over 30 locations, amusements was a subsidiary.
One Wometco Amusements arcade I remember - "The Yumbrella"

Fair Lanes, another defunct Miami landmark. (bowling)

Not Maryland.
Miami.

Thanks for the info!
I'm still trying to read a few more words off of this worn out old paper..

I have about 4 service slips all from the same guy.
 
thanks for dredging up traumatic memories

Should have married the girl.
