LAI Take five
« on: November 30, 2022, 05:01:28 AM »
Hi guys!


I got a present when Bill turned up to pick up a machine yesterday.
I'd asked him to keep an eye out for one after playing the one at Pinfest this year, and he turned up with it to surprize me.


I'm happy as, still have to figure out how to start a game, but it looks cool as.


In saying that, can anyone tell me what breed of pop bumper caps it takes or a link to RTBB caps style? I'm sure i'll have more questions, but ain't she a beaut?


I love the art.

I dont think I have ever played a cocktail machine

Look like Bally EM pop bumper caps would suit Internet Pinball Machine Database: Allied Leisure 'Take Five' Images (ipdb.org)

NICE!! The bumper caps look like old school Bally style so shouldn't be too hard to find something to suit.


Btw which direction was Bill heading when he left your place?

Cheers Mitch, thought they looked like Bally's. I have some spares here i'll try.


Bill was heading home to Brisbane with a new old car for himself and a couple day's just looking at it.


Said he'd be coming back through Sunday morning with my Alien heading south.

Greg Berry had one of these and it was an interesting machine. Not that hard to fix. Fun to play.

Cheers guys. The one at pinfest was just plain fun. A nudgers delight.


Just gotta wait till Neil comes up next, it won't start a game and it's beyond me. Coin won't do it although it looks like it should, i have to figure out how to add credits.

I think the pinball machines that were "made in Australia" (Comic Princess, Meteor (?) ) were kits made overseas and assembled here. Something to get around a tax probably


EDIT
Did a little google
Leisure & Allied Industries is an Australian company About LAI (Leisure & Allied Industries) - laigames.com
That Machine was made by Allied Leisure Industries based in Florida
