What a GREAT day!!!!
« on: July 04, 2012, 06:29:08 PM »
Oh man, how cool was today?

Its my birthday and i got a call  from a potential new customer which is always good on your birthday.
Anyway, i met the customer and secured all work.. result!
While i was there, i popped into the arcade to see what they had and noticed this machine sitting in the corner and went straight to it.
Its a repro 1957 Williams 10 strike.. i stuck $2 into it ( probably first coin its ever taken) and had a game.
This is so cool.. the repro is done really well... cabinet and manequin really well made.. guts of machine are all solid state.

Finding this gem just made my day.. bloody loved it.
Heres some pics




I took a video too, but at 100Mb it will take 3 weeks to upload to Utube.. i will try though
