Yeah,

That is a good idea....probably wont happen until early next year though as I would need to sort through all the pix.

Would do at cost (disc + postage and packing).

Well if you want to do a whole section, then i have a stack of old Billboard magazines from 30's and 40's during the depression and war. These are stacked with ads for pinball machines and anything coin operated. Id be more than happy to scan some in if anyone is interested.
These are ads and wanted to buy notices - many of the ads arent on IPDB for the related games, but lots of Gottlieb, wurlitzer, seeburg, Victory etc

Tony,

Love them, keep em coming...I to often wonder about the history of my machines, had one with engraving in timber Sally loves Barry or something similar.  I wish someone had photos of the old arcades in Rye and Rosebud from the 70s.

Cheers

This thread now has its own forum so it doesn't get lost amongst other threads.

I find this nostalgia stuff fascinating and think it deserves to stand out on its own.

Fascinating stuff.

Here's my contribution to vintage pinball pictures...
