jim Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Here is a link to some pictures of my arcade machines, game systems, warehouse raids, gameroom, and pinball machines. No index or web page just raw images. I need to make a web page but just can't find the time. Too busy working on/playing games! http://www2.netdoor.com/~vannoys/games/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 It's 2 rooms in my house. I have a big old house with 23 rooms so the wife let's me put games in a couple of them. No basement though. We live in the south and they don't have them here. I wish we did have one. It would give me a lot more room! I grew up in Minnesota and we had a big basement. I also have a big Lionel train layout but it's up in the attic (attic is about 800sf). I have about 100 arcade machines right now. Most are in my shop and out in the barn.

Vic George 2K3 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I feel like I fell into a time warp and was seeing an old arcade at an amusement center that used to be near Westport and Dartmouth, MA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Most impressive! I love your old EM's. That Chicago Coin driver is way cool! Great looking collection. You have successfully blended 5 decades of technology in one room. That is no small feat. If you EVER decide to sell that Six Flags over Texas sign, PLEASE PUT ME AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST! I used to go to that arcade as a kid (Dad lived in Dallas in the 80's, and I got to go once a summer; there was an arcade there that had Speed Freak and some other wierd games I loved). That is a MUST-HAVE for me if its ever available Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ussexplorer Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Well all I can say is. Now I know why the arcades are going out of business. You just through parties. Love the old games. Does that old pop machine work? I assume it is one of your prized possesions. laters, ussexplorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 The Coke machine works great. They only thing is, is it takes small size glass bottles and we can only find them at 1 store around here and they are about $4.50 a 6 pack. The machine takes a nickel. It was in my Grandfathers Texaco station since the 1940's. I remember getting Coke's out of it when I was a kid back in the 60's. My Dad gave it to me 5 or 6 years ago. When he gave it to me I was cleaning it up and I fould a bunch of old coins in it. Buffalo nickel's, Mercury dime's, etc. It will never be sold by me. it will go to my kids.

ussexplorer Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 That is a great story about the soda machine. Yea, Those stupid small coke bottles. The machine I have is from around the 70's. It does a few bottle sizes and cans. Currently it is setup for cans. If I could find a good local source for normal size bottles beside beer bottles. I would move the brackets back for cans.
