A couple of pics of my room
« on: June 17, 2009, 10:58:33 PM »
We're working on it but concentrating on 1970's pinny's and arcade. Lot's of fun restoring Playboy and Gorgar with Jungle Queen next in the garage. Parts just arrived so time to get back to work!

Wotto, I bought Gorgar as a wreck from Coffs Harbour and have had a lot of fun doing it up. Thanks also for answering my questions and your own site has given me something to aim for. I finished the coin slots last night and almost ready now. I am keen to get the new backglass from Mayfair next month. I was really impressed with the pics I saw of another backglass of a AP member.

I now have the apron artwork which I tidied up with photoshop. Next project is the Jungle Queen apron.

On a separate matter, the photos of Hoyts in the 70's are great. Have you seen any of the Crystal Palace over the road from the same era?

Thanks for taking the time to post those photos - all top end games also!

Nice collection, and another newcastle member! Did that Jungle Queen come from Rob Young? If so I missed buying that by a couple of weeks.

Newy AP meet at your place soon?

No mate - and believe me , I have searched high and low for images from George St in that era, I would LOVE to find images of Crystal Palace as well as Grundy's and/or a photo of that 'strip' from that time would be brilliant.

I was wondering if someone would suggest that! The line-up makes it an attractive proposition.

Yea I did buy that Jungle Queen from Robert and I am going to tidy it up a little. It sounds great and is a hard machine to play. I just bought new drop targets and a tune up kit so looking forward to giving it the once over. Would like to get some stencils but cannot see these anywhere? I am looking for a Sinbad which I thought you had on ebay this week for a couple of days only?

Wotto, remember the fish and chips shop on the Princess Highway at Waterfall and the take aways near the Shell at Heathcote. They had some good pinnies in those good old days!


Cheers.   J.D.   && &&
