Well im pretty excited with my latest purchase not exactly what ive always wanted but probably as close as ill ever get.
Its very old and not a reproduction sadly its been converted to dollar coins which i might aswell leave so people can use it im told it was used up until recently by a carnie who has a heap of cool old gear fingers crossed i can end up with a bit more.

Which you will pass on to the rest of us???? #@#
There used to be a milkbar/cafe in Queenscliff that still had this type of stuff on the wall
burnt down in the late 70's
-
I reckon that's one very cool addition to your amazing and eclectic collection *%*
Genuine penny arcades like that are quite rare & generally very expensive.
Repros are OK, but they really don't have the finish & solid look of ones like yours.
Well picked up.

cool looking machine, nice find. You will have to start telling us the stories about how you find these things.
-
Love it, where do u cum across this stuff? Awesome find, I'm jelous
-
Yes I've turned down plenty of the repro ones just had to be original.
Most of the crap I buy finds me this one I spotted out of the corner of my eye in a antique shop in Geelong
-
Daniel,
Looks great! I may have to put a few $1 coins in next time I'm over!!
Great pick up!!

After some research these were made between 1958-64 in Christ church

A few of the kiwi pinball collectors have a few of these flip ball games, a good mate of mine has 20 - 30 of these, they even made kicker catcher style wall mounted machines. I will email him over the weekend requesting some photo's for those who would be interested.
I must admit I want one of these flip ball games as well, I'll keep searching...
-
Hell yeah photos would be great
-
Hey Daniel,
Just got these email pics thought I'd share.

These pics are from a NZ pinball collector who also collects dairy/milk bar signs etc..

-
Thanks for the pics that's Awsome specially love the coin pusher might have to chase up a few more of these NZ classicsV
-
i really love all this retro sort of stuff, there is just something really cool about coin opp things, and they look so fantastic, really wish i was a bit older when these sort of things were around.
-
Used to love playing the penny pusher on Brighton Pier... theyd have several of them next to each other all slightly off angle so it made a large circle... walk round and choose which slot to put your coin in.
Love these pictures... cheers Leon!
-
Need one of these down at the local. So if I can complete it I am good to drive home, right?? *)*

I can imagine the conversation with the cops...
" But officer I passed the machine at the pub so I was ok to drive"
Cop walks you into the booze bus with one on the table
"ok then prove it"

Hey dan, wondering if you can help me out with some advice on these sort of machines?
after seeing this thread ages ago, ive been wanting to get something like these machines for my shop.
I came across one or i think is one of these sorts of games last week, i saw it through the window of the shop, however the shop was clossed on that day.
im going to go check it out next monday. but it seems to be a basket ball themed skill shot game. has little basket baller figure and i am guessing it shoots the ball into the hoop from the figure.
I didnt get to have good look at it but it looked like it needed some work and i couldnt tell if it was just a display or was actually operational.
assuming it all works what do you recon these sort of things are worth? i am thinking about making them an offer on it. it had a stand that i dont think was original, as the stand looked like it was made in the 70's or 80's being laminated wood grain style chip board, lol. i think the game is older than the stand, just by what i could see of it.
-
You may find these old games boring as well after a few games!!

True, but no so bad if it is set up in a shop
-

ahahaha i have no come back for that one, lol %.%
its mostly for decoration, i am trying to get a assortment of coin opp machines for my shop, virtually just working display's.
as retro is cool atm its a good excuse ^^^
-
If its the one I have in my head it will be worth heaps check out my thread on the penny arcade in echuca I think I posted a photo of the game on there.
Always ask why they want for it can't hurt but if it's out of your price range for a shop display b ^^^e sure to let me know

ill. take some pictures of it if i cant strike a deal you and Dan can fight over trying,
if i can buy it, make sure you come down and check my shop out and have ago at it. it may not be anything special, hence why im trying to figure out what it is. even so i recon ill ask if they want to part with it because it looked cool. but when i saw it i thought of this thread

^&^. Imagine if it was the genco Gav droooooooolllll

^&^. Imagine if it was the genco Gav droooooooolllll
is there a wiki of sorts for genco machines with pictures??
-
I'd be shocked if there was one of these in Australia. Clay restores two of these in one of his "This Old Pinball" Videos. Very cool machine.
-
^&^. Imagine if it was the genco Gav droooooooolllll
Bloody hell mate... my bloods pumping!!!
Olivia... maaaaaaate.. Daniel doesnt want this.. he is too tied up with Hyper Ball etc and he absolutely HATES all these games..LOL

when Libby gets home from the shop tonight, Ill ask her, she has a better memory than i do, lol, i tend to think its not as long as that one. but ill ask her, she will be home in an hour. the figure look simular and the background is similar. BTW thank you for your help guys. its rather exciting
-
Exciting alright.. this is what keeps me passionate.
If youve found a 50;s - 60;s arcade game here in QLD then its a very rare find indeed... i recently JUST missed out on one of these and it still pains me to think about it..
http://www.pinrepair.com/arcade/spacpil.htm
I love these arcade games... cmon.. tell me where it is, im only a 2hr drive away..LOL
-
I only know of the two machines ive already listed as Basketball games with manequins... Midway made one in the early 90's but it didnt have any figurines..
..LOl- not sure ill be able to sleep tonight!

Too funny... Good on ya!

Ok, yer no good guys, its not that old, its from the late 80s or eirly nineties, I could see it better at night as the shop had the lights on. and didnt have chair in front of it this time, the figure is plastic, and the display is made to look like a score real but is just something you would see on a ss pinball. the cab is made to look old with classic stickers and what not, couldnt get pictures as the glare from the window glass sorry. it would have been something from an arcade in the nineties. bugger sorry to get hopes up,
-
All good and thank you for making the effort.. i still want to know what it is though.. could be a repro of something.
Plastic figurines is a bit... yeh well.... at least on my repro bowler the figurine is cast bronze.. weighs a bloody ton

yer its like they made everything look old except the figure, i thought the figure looked old the other day, but i couldnt see that well. but the figure is 80s or nineties looking. was much clearer seeing it with the shops light on at night. it has footing thats obviously older than the machine it could be an old school desk or something to stop it falling over,lol, as it was that laminated chip board thats woodgrain color, where as the machine is white, with a stenciled basket ball player on it. i thought the base was newer than the machine because of the style, but its just made to look retro. its certainly not new but its not 60s. i was like you i needed to go see it to confirm. some one has also put led jukebox style light tubing inside it recently, to try and make it look more modern i am guessing. it wasnt turned on but i could see it. it may have been a midway?
-
hey went in and checked this machine out during the day, forgot my camera sorry.
its made by Quick silver??? not the surfing brand, its definatly early 90's, it has speech it looked old because upclose you could see it was very worn and crap condition. its prety cool however, the more hoops you shoot the more gumballs you get. its a rather simple cab and stand, i thought i would offer to buy it and restore, however they knew who i was and it would end up in more shop, and so they said as their shop is for sale they will sell it when the shop sells only. bugger. my plan was buy it and redesign it to make more retro.
