CLICK ON ANY PIC TO ENLARGE

 

Queen Of Diamonds, which was weird to play, because I played a nearly identical Gottlieb pin, World Beauties, at Old Sled Work's Penny Arcade in Duncannon, PA just two weeks before.

 

 

A wheel spins to show what cards you have.

 

Looks like some bad action is about to go down.

Lots of action inside the show, so the pics were glass on, or nothing.

Is this cool or what?

Wagon Train, a 1960 Gottlieb title I'd never heard of, even though the legendary Roy Parker was the artist. The roto targets are always cool. It was neat to play a pin older than my Gottlieb Shipmates pin with roto targets.

 

Wild Life, another regular from my childhood years at Coney Island.

 

Vampire, a RARE Bally title from 1970. This pin can be seen in the movie, "American Grafitti." You don't believe me? Then pick up the cd soundtrack, flip over the cd tray, and you'll see the pin shown in the mini golf arcade scene. I've seen this pin for sale a few times on Ebay, but normally it's a vintage barn special. This particular pin was in exceptional shape and not for sale.

It was time to grab a quick lunch at Denny's, then meet Chris Munson at noon to set up my gear to videotape the seminars. This turned out to be an interesting experience as you will see. Click on the hand below.
