1920s Chester Pollards Play Football

[ddstoys]

Well guys I've mentioned my exciting new project.   Its confirmed payed for and will be on its way to me tomorrow.

  This is going to be a huge project but a game I never thought I would own and the best part is its an original Aussie machine and it found me ;)

  This is what it will hopefully look like once I'm done.


I'm only getting the games internals the machines cabinet had been lost over 10 years ago by a previous owner don't ask me how but I'm glad it was it id never have had this chance to own a classic penny arcade machine

  This is what I'm actually getting

 As usual the wife doesn't understand but as usual I didn't listen to her lol

That's beautiful or will be  . Big job ahead . Brass is looking good , love the score holder part.  Do you have plans for the cab?

[Pop Bumper Pete]

It will be great when you finish it

[Strangeways]

Awesome find. It "found you" = karma !

Interesting restoration thread coming up !

[ddstoys]

Yes the guy I purchased it from has spent 10 years gathering parts and plans and measurements for the cabinet but if all else fails the penny arcade in echuca has one ;)

[clickaus]

Can't wait to see how it comes up mate. Are you going to build the cabinet yourself

[pinnies4me]

Wow, that is absolutely gorgeous mate! Can't wait to see it done.

Looks great Dan.

Lucky for you, you have a couple of very talented high end cabinet makers down your way whom I am sure would love the challenge!

[ddstoys]

In going to Attemptnthe cabinet myself but as you said Marty I do have some help down my way and i think stewy is keen to help

[Retropin]

They are an awesome machine and its a great pick up. I know of a couple of these around, none for sale of course.
One thing leads to another and if you have one Chester Pollard, then you need to collect the series!

Wow that is awesome, I played the one in Echuca with the kids last time it was up that way bit over a year ago. Good fun, amazing the engineering and quality of things back in those days

  I loved the one in echuca and though how good would it be to find one but even better it found me.

  Now how am I going to find the golf version ?????

[ktm450]

Yeah, you will definitely have to track down the set 
I vaguely remember playing the golf one, it had a spring loaded lever to control the power of the stroke didn't it? And another that you twisted to aim the golfer in the correct direction?

[ddstoys]

Yeah Matt that sounds about right and if you got it in a hole it returned your ball if it went in a bunker you lost the ball

Now that is cool
