Oh man, how cool was today?
Its my birthday and i got a call from a potential new customer which is always good on your birthday.
Anyway, i met the customer and secured all work.. result!
While i was there, i popped into the arcade to see what they had and noticed this machine sitting in the corner and went straight to it.
Its a repro 1957 Williams 10 strike.. i stuck $2 into it ( probably first coin its ever taken) and had a game.
This is so cool.. the repro is done really well... cabinet and manequin really well made.. guts of machine are all solid state.
Finding this gem just made my day.. bloody loved it.
Heres some pics

is this a redemption machine?? do you win tickets from this game?
\Yes.. its a redemption machine, although that is an optional add on

sweet, i took the missus to the arcade the other day as said in previous post, spent $80 on redemption machines, not one pinball was at the place but had a great night anyways. if this machine was at the arcade i visited i would have blown the whole lot on that thing, what a cool machine, $80 of tickets got me a battery operated plasma Ball, lol worth about $15 at a guess, ahaha. our choice of arcades on the coast is limited to one and thats about a 45 minute drive, oh i wish we had cool arcades with interesting games like that.
thank you for posting that up, really great to see something like that being put into arcades today, i hope it makes good money so other arcades catch on and add it to their lineup

That's an odd find in an Arcade. Wrong country and wrong decade ! Would not be too many of these around. Amazing find !

Happy Birthday mate. Go do something useful and find yourself a bowler or Shuffle Alley. Now that would be impressive #@# *%* %.%
