ADMIN NOTE: FIRST THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SECOND I DELETED THE EMAIL ADDRESS TO PREVENT ATTACK! HA HA CH

[CaptainHappy]

HEY FOLKS,

Just a personal note of thanks to all for their support!  

Joey also said to say thanks to all, and wanted to let everyone know that the internet is down for a few days until it gets moved. If you need info passed to him, just let me know!

Also no new pics today as the Satellite was shot down, and I have to wait for a new one to be launched!!!  

Warmest Regards,
CaptainHappy

Hey Guys!

Buzz & I got back around midnight Sunday morning and spent three hours chewing the fat, so I got home around 4am. I've been packing and cleaning to get ready to head out in a few hours so I haven't had any time to catch up on the posts and probably will be offline most of next week unless we can get the internet up at the new store and there is time for some fun.

I took my camera -- I had to, because it's surgically attached at the hip.

Here are two pictures of the sunrise on the open desert as we made our way to headquarters Friday morning.

The time stamp on all of these pictures is right for Bullhead City but wrong for my camera because I forgot to set the time back an hour last week.

[StatFreak]

We spent the first few hours moving merchandise and thousands of very HEAVY tokens, so even after several hours it didn't "look" like we'd done that much.
Here's a pic of Joey, and one of Buzz reading a post at Joey's desk in the tech area in the back.

[StatFreak]

Pops taking a breather.
The machines are starting to thin out...

[StatFreak]

Joey's back only hurts when he's awake. (I'd put a smiley in here, but unfortunately, it's true.)
Odie's last stand.    He's in storage now because the ceiling in the new store isn't high enough for him, and we don't want Odie bumping his head! 
Buzz unbolting some cabinets.

[StatFreak]

The old store is really starting to empty out. It's amazing how big it really is, especially when you consider that the back quarter of the store is still behind the trellis.
Where is that StatFreak anyway? I don't have a single picture of him working! 

[StatFreak]

A late-night delivery of slot stands, then off to bed for a few hours. 

[StatFreak]

The first rows of slots in the new store.

[StatFreak]

more of the showroom.

The entry area behind the trellis in the second picture contains all of the the dart merchandise. I wasn't able to get a picture because certain nameless people would have killed me and smashed my camera if I had included them in the photo.   ... and besides, it's never good to upset the boss.  

[StatFreak]

This will be Dottie's area after some remodeling.

The hallway. The first hallway turn to the left goes to Joey's tech room and the restroom. Opposite that to the right is a another room (not visible in the picture). The small alcove with the water bottle will be the "kitchen". The kids' room is at the end of the hall on the right -- just follow the slots.

[StatFreak]

Joey's tech room has two reception-type windows that look into the hallways, so he won't be isolated while he's working back there. 

A picture of the hall corner and the windows into the tech room.
The inside of the tech room.

[StatFreak]

And finally, a picture of the kids' room. Spot the Dot took the move in stride and is already at home. For those who don't know, he lives in that round top slot machine that's on the floor. You can see him on the "penthouse" in the picture. I didn't get a shot of the hamster in its habitrail, but he's also settled in.

The refrigerator is already up and running, as you can see on the right. The second refrigerator and the large chest freezer had to go to the house, as there wasn't enough room for them at the new location. The slushie, hot dog, and popcorn machines will probably also end up in storage.

[Thor777]

K+ to StatFreak for all the GREAT pics ! 

I can't wait to get to see the new place for myself and many thanks to all who helped, I am soooo disappointed I couldn't be there. 

   Joey, you ever move again you better give out some notice ! 

[stayouttadabunker]

Hey Stat! You forgot this picture!  

[Buzz]

The first rows of slots in the new store.

Mark you seem to always come up with great idea's The 7  ( in pic's only 6 ) machines with their backs to the window, I think should be placed on some kind of turn table. After the sun passes overhead and are in the shade, rotated facing the street. In the dark with them all lit up would be hard not to notice them. JMO    now I've tossed out the bait need a good idea on how make a good SAFE turn table

I guess the pic doesn't go with the quote  look at reply #61 top pic



MODERATOR NOTE: PICTURE ADDED. SF

[stayouttadabunker]

They could be put on lazy susans but
you'd need some kind of a stopper so the electrical cord doesn't wind out and
some modified chute to divert to drop coins into a single bucket?
At the ends of the stoppers, a small metal latch that could hold the machine in its rotated position
so it doesn't turn around every time someone yanks on the handle...
It's not an easy thingamajig to make with a 250lb. slot machine sitting on the whole thing.

I don't think the coin chute is a issue not played that much ( can't be played when rotated anyway.) I'm thinking along the lines of a metal plate same size as bottom of machine, weld a      1 1/2 piece of pipe in the center and drill the slot stand just a little bigger, now mount some bearings on the metal plate or just sit the whole thing on a  Teflon pad. your right it does need some kind of stop. maybe a small ear welded to the metal plate with a hole in it, drill the slot stand and drop a pin in it,  I hope someone will come up with some idea's better than mine. Let me add I do have all the welder's,  torch,  plasma cutter, grinders  drills and what ever else would be needed ( operator to do all this PISS poor )

Hey, I pulled that trailer before!

But, it's missing the Toyota truck I saw on it last time...

[Buzz]

Bill that trailer is about all we used for what we got moved. Joey's truck was just to high off the ground and the trailer was much easier.

[dpalmi]

Who else is in?????

 

It's been awhile since I've last donated...so it's time again!  This is the best forum of any kind I belong to - the members here go way above and beyond - I've had members send me parts I've needed without charging me a thing - not even to cover shipping costs - and this has happened more than once from more than one person.  I would also not have the nice slot machines I currently own if it were not for this site - thanks for supporting my addiction hobby.

Only problem is now I'm spoiled and I always find myself compairing other forums to NLG....

Thanks again NLG for hosting such a great site...
