I'm 59, married and retired from a career in advertisimg and publicity.I've loved coin -op since I dragged my mother across London to Battersea Pleasure Gardens in the 50s and my poor nephew along Southend seafront arcades in the 60s- inflicting on both hours of boredom as I tried to defeat the fiendish machanisms of the crane ,the metal hand ( with rubber finger stalls) the revolving glass plate , the ariel bomber and Bryans clockwork delights. I'm sure I remember one of the prizes being a bar of pamolive soap-well we were in rationing and Have a Go on the radio was offering 1/4 lb of tea as a prize to die for.I even tried to build machines from spare bits and bobs. Pinball came next and a missspent youth in Soho saw me practically resident in Lots O Fun in Charing Cross road ,where one could win 2 Cigs per replay (no health worries there then eh!)Now I'd like to own one or two machines so I'm always on the lookout.
