Most definitely and without question. If I can get them cheaper well  #@#

One of my ambitions is to collect some of the games that I remember playing when I was a child. These were games my Father operated, and I have the exact games from NIB - Spirit of 76, Sky Jump, KISS and Paragon to name a few. I remember playing Williams "Winner", and I have that title now (thanks Oscar). I have Whirlibird (Helicopter EM game) and I have that game (thanks Dave) and - to make it sweeter - it is the game my father owned in the 70's. I don't remember the "Miss Annabelle" woodrail, but I do remember that Dad had one as well as several other woodrails that ended up in rural Victoria. I now have that very game (thanks Chris).

Years ago, I had the opportunity to buy several machines from overseas - Nip It, Fireball, Captain Fantastic, Honey, Smart Set - all games from my childhood.

My intention is to create a Museum of some of the games Dad operated, that I remember from my childhood. I have already found at least a dozen - and I WOULD pay a premium for Hayburners, Hayburners II, Olympic Hockey, Zodiac, Pit Stop, Rocket Ship, Showboat and Super Score. All EMS, but I would love to track down a Stern Big Game.
