Title: Re: Rescued from the graveyard. Post by: crgadyk on June 18, 2013, 11:53:55 AM I wish I was lucky enough to find a truck load of slots heading to the landfill. Especially when 3 of them are Wild Cherry games and a haywire as well.

He was kind enough to give me a few extra of everything, right down to new batteries for all the machines :) Title: Re: Rescued from the graveyard. Post by: Slam on June 19, 2013, 03:12:13 AM Awesome! Eager to see them when they get cleaned up. Started with the Haywire. It came out pretty good. Title: Re: Rescued from the graveyard. Post by: proten on June 19, 2013, 03:46:47 AM Nice :293- Good looking machine
Title: Re: Rescued from the graveyard. Post by: DoubleZero on June 19, 2013, 10:19:16 AM Purdy!! That's a great start!
Title: Re: Rescued from the graveyard. Post by: knagl on June 19, 2013, 03:42:17 PM That's great, and Haywire Deluxe is a very desirable theme.
Title: Re: Rescued from the graveyard. Post by: 89chevyman on June 20, 2013, 09:40:44 PM WOW!!!!! What a great score :3- :3- :3- :3-. You mean to tell me that the wife actually bought that "this guy was just going to throw these away" line :103- :103- :103- Man, I'm going to remember THAT one :89- :89- I used the "it just followed me home. Can I keep it??? Please, please??" line a few times..........she's not buying that one anymore :60- :60- :60- :60-. Have also tried the "that's what happens when you put two machines together in the garage, they multiply" line, but I think she's catching on :30- :30- :30- :30- Besides all that, you really did score big time :3- :3- :3- :3-. Now, if you need a home for any of those machines or need to get rid of any extra parts, please keep me in mind :89- :89- :89-. Enjoy the fun and keep posting the pictures as you go through them, Haywire Deluxe looks really nice :244- :244- :244-
Chris Note to Jimise: I think EM would have you committed. Just like Jello, I think there's always room for one more :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- Title: Re: Rescued from the graveyard. Post by: jay on June 21, 2013, 01:34:14 AM How many did you end up getting.....

I was going to say something about how if you voted for Obama now you have to give 9 of the 10 away to people who can't afford to buy their own , but don't want to open THAT can of worms. Wrong topic forum for it anyway, lol :72- Title: Re: Rescued from the graveyard. Post by: Slam on June 21, 2013, 12:40:08 PM Those are great machines!
