Any interest in 1930s - 60s arcade photos?
« on: December 15, 2008, 11:36:20 AM »
Have assembled well over 100 old photos from the 1930s to late 1960s of pinballs and arcade games on location.

So is there any interest in loading some of these for you guys to see some history - there are some beautiful old games.

Let me know and I can start loading up today

I think it would be great to have a section dedicated to pinball (and arcade) photos!... Nino or Tony???

Great idea.. Might have to make a new section - like a Gallery of sorts ?

I reckon so... maybe one for just general photo's - ie: the ones Illawarra_Steelers has, and maybe one for personal collections??

This one is my all time fave - standing infont of Gottlieb's Happy Clown from 1964 - I have this game and have this photo reproduced above the game. She is such a fox  :D

With collecting old pins of this vintage I often wonder what the games have 'seen' while on locaction - imagine if they could talk, the stories they could tell

You might need to clarify, do you mean the pin? or the girly?  :lol
Personally, i'm  leaning more towards the girly  :D

I wonder if any of the these people would remember being in these pics?
These are fantastic though, capturing a great piece of arcade history.

Are these pics form photo's you have? or are they digital files you have?
It'd be nice to get hold of these in their largest size, i'd certainly print a few around my house.

Oh Marty,

No clarification needed - the woman is the fox!

Um, the pix have been 'borrowed' from all over the 'net over the past few years - have at least another 150, will see if there is any interest before posting some more
