   KirkLasVegas on your "new arrivals"
 

I guess you'll have to store your machines in a condominium from now on.  


P.S. I would love to have all three four of those machines!

<ADD> Oops, missed one.

I always enjoyed playing the Pinball Vision when the Mirage had it. It was a dollar machine and I won two to three hundred almost every time I played it. Just lucky, but it was a fun theme.

Very cool. Additions to a collection are great, but 3 of what are in my opinion special, not average, type games is awesome.
Great score on those. I am especially drooling over the Munsters.

Thanks Eric,
The Jackpot Limbo was sitting in a corner, the bill door had been pried open,the handle missing and had about 1/2 inch of dust/dirt exhaust from diesels all over it.The dotmation box was laying down, thru the dirt I thought it was missing. Inside the machine was OK, the usual dust.
I figured I would rob it for the reels, power supply (lower) and MPU board.When i opened it up it had the 25 cent hopper, the CPU box had the cover closed and everything inside was in good shape.I opened fire on it with the air compressor and found the display box laying down. The serial data cable and 120 volt power connectors were ripped out of the Dotmation box.I simply bent the pins back in place.Tried to fire it up, no luck. battery was dead, replaced that, did a RAM clear and it fired up! it's cleaning up well.
The "Winning Streak" would not fire up either,but it was easy... someone had unplugged the serial data cable from the backplane.
Pinball has minor audio problems, I can hear the servos in the speakers, no hum..but a lot of digital noise. has to be dried out filters caps either in the supply or on the board itself. It's playable..just not "right".
"Munsters" is just plain pretty, just needed some cleaning, it's in very nice shape.

Yes, very nice machines Kirk!   
If they keep producing offspring, I would be happy to adopt a few and give them a good home!

Jack is history. Anyone else notice the spam at the bottom of every post?

Just added a couple different machines to the gameroom. A williams 1972 pitch and bat ball game, "Line Drive", and a williams 1971 shooting arcade called "Jungle Drums"!
Line drive has a running man unit in the backglass, the runners pop up and run the bases to whatever target you hit. Has early electronic sounds for the crowd roar, explosion, and whistling coming from the crowd. The game was sitting in a garage for a couple of years unattended and was in pretty bad shape. Sanded it down, re-stenciled and got everything working again and it's a great game to have.

Jungle Drums is next for the sander and paint job.

Just thought I'd share!

Jim!

KirkLasVegas,

I couldn't think of anything to say because of: 

Nice additions to what I remember was an impressive stable to begin with. Maybe you want to leave a light on at night to prevent more offsprings? But maybe you don't!!!!

I like the barber pole...Is it a Marvy ??  These poles can actually be expensive.  Where did you get yours ?  Also, which dotmations do you have ?  Nice diversity to the gameroom.  You have the Fish Tales, so where is the Whitewater ?

Thanks for posting the new pictures Galahad.  I found myself pouring over all of the details in your original pictures again.    Your game room may not be the largest but it's sure jam packed with wonderful goodies. 
Once you close those shutter doors you must feel like you're in another world.

I was looking at the prices on your chalkboard. Interestingly, most everything on the board (including income and housing prices - if looking at a national average price) has increased about 10 to 15 fold with the exception of dairy! Milk and eggs cost only about 2.5 times what they did back then. If they had kept up with inflation at the same rate as everything else on that board, we'd be paying about $10-$14 for a gallon of milk and $7-$10 for a dozen eggs. I'll have to remember that the next time I feel like complaining that the price of milk is too high -- looking at it from the the dairy farmers perspective, they've been screwed. Btw, gas is right in the same 10-15 fold range as everything else, although it had gone to over 20 fold for a while last year.

Stat-Freak, Now I know why they call you that! Yes prices were interesting back then. Chaulk-board is nice though!
Your right, I do have a small gameroom! The other half is for the other half (wife), with crafts and painting. Have to give alittle and take a little.

I usually change items about every couple of months. Usually trade for something different, or find some broken ones to repair. Keeps my mind busy!

Have a bunch of stuff in the garage yet to put in,(jukebox, greyhound crane machine, a couple of trade stimulators, old tin advertising signs)! All in due time will make it down to the room.

My fortune teller is like the winchester house, there's always something I can add to it. Am presently working on a 1964 Midway "pitch and Bat".

Thanks for the compliments! Keep up the Stats!

I know this is mainly a slot forum, but just thought I'd show someother coin-op stuff!
Jim!

The barber pole is a Marvy. Picked it up on a trip to North Carolina.
The Fish Tales pinball is alot of fun to play. Do not have much interest in the Whitewater. Played one at a show and it didn"t do anything for me. Thats like the Funhouse. I always wanted one then after some trades I got ahold of one. Has interesting features but not one of my best. I like the comic ones like Rocky and Bullwinkle, the Simpsons, etc...
