Re: Genco Pontiac pinball

Gorgeous pin - they sure had good taste back then. My 1934 Exhibit Rebound always gets so many compliments and plays compared to the more modern pinballs.

Re: Arcades, Museums & Gamerooms

Get rid of that sofa and get some more machines. :lol: Hahahaha - the couch has been on the chopping block for a long time, but when you buy machines you should have a back up place to sleep - always handy. Shed extensions on the cards, and hopefully then I’ll finally be able to fit the rest of my ...

Re: Chester Pollard Play Golf

Bob knew about this one I remember him telling me about it and saying he tried to buy it but it was never for sale. Well I’m assuming it’s this one as I couldn’t imagine there being two in My area

Re: Chester Pollard Play Golf

Some great videos Pennymachines. Interesting that he only thinks there were 50-60 Play Golfs made.

And yes, looking at my playfield, the only holes in the table are the 3 main holes and the few holes in the brook. I’ll try get some photos of the internals next rime it’s open.

Re: 1954 Seeburg Coon Hunt shooting gallery refresh

Yes I have the original cashbox. I’ll try remember to get the measurement for you. The switches are held in place by a nut type thing - hard to see in the photos but there’s a threaded ring holding it in place.

Re: Chester Pollard Play Golf

Yeah disgusting conversion that pinball one. I've also seen them with extra lose holes drilled into the playfield so you lose faster.

Thankfully, none of that going on with mine.

I’ll sneak out to the shed after dinner and get some photos.

Each coin mech has a switch that the mechanical mech pushes and pulls to engage a credit then the button is just an open close button to start the game, from memory.

Re: Chester pollard Play golf

Yeah mate, previously restored I'm told. I couldn’t get many details. The seller was a little emotional and wouldn’t answer questions, which is sad, because I knew her dad 20 years ago and was really excited to have a chat. The few details I got from her before she walked away was it was originally ...

Chester Pollard Play Golf

Well gents it’s been a while since I added anything new to the collection... well worthy enough to post, but this morning this happened. A collector in Sydney spotted it 15 minutes away from my house and sent me the link. It’s always been a grail machine but never seen one for sale. Sent the lady a ...
