Loved this last lot of pics, what a piece of history, sadly most people in em have probably gone to the great penny arcade in the sky.  Dont you just love the big old arcades full of pins, shooting machines and love o meters. Brands like midway, sega etc.  Would love a time machine and go back and have a look at these places.

Im a dreamer and a droller

Dean,

This is the very reasons I started collecting these in the first place. It isn't just the games that are awesome to look at but the people, fashion and locations are excellent. Each photo captures a moment in time.

I often look at my old pins from the late 1940s and 1950s and just wonder who played them and 'what the games story was'. I picked up a Gottlieb Criss Cross from 1958 this year and when I set her up, pulled the back door off and it was like somebody blew cigarette smoke in my face. Here was a game that was 50 years old and it still had the smoke stench inside it - so imagine the dingy pool hall this game would of been in at one point!

Will post more on Friday - off on our Christmas harbour cruise tomorrow
