Us too. Knowing a person like Gary is a must if you take the plunge. They sure can be cranky at times.

Dropped a lot of money in these things too! Wasted my youth…but what a good time. We tried everything we could think of to cheat the games too.

I dont know if I ever mentioned to you but my father used to repair them as well as video games ect. That was back in Britain late 70’s early 80’s. The time of huge arcades and onsite fulltime technicians. There was still lots of older stuff running in those days. We had a few one arm bandits in our house (slot machines).

Leaning left and right without tilting. Cheating some times and lifting the lower legs up a little bit so the ball would move slowly through the gates and sometimes stick and just keep racking up points. Clunk clunk clunk! 10 free games! Fist pump.

It’s amazing the amount of stuff inside. It’s mind blowing.
