Should of also mentioned that on the right of the Lucky Hand is the as-rare Freefall which is the add-a-ball of Skyjump

I  did actually get a few games on the Lucky hand towards the very end of Saturday - it had a slight lean to the right,which guaranteed ball drain each time.... but what a nice machine! I REALLY enjoyed playing this game, and this particular one was in beautiful condition - awesome game to own

I didnt get much chance to take pics, so theres a real lack of them from me... but view from my stall from left to right real early in the day - the Star Trek is still waiting to be set up as is Rolling Stones and the AP stall still has a lot of shirts! LOL!!

A stunning unrestored United Rondevoo from 1948

That's before some unnamed member of a forum leant on the glass - and broke it!!!

Oh come on! Andrew you know that wasn't me  *.*

Was waiting for Nick to notice that on Saturday  :lol

The glass was cracked when the game arrived and not being safety glass (used for the first time in 1964 on playfield glasses) it was from the lockdown bar to the top of the playfield around lunchtime. Funny that Jason Douglas who owns the game didn't seem to mind.

Oh, sh!+, too busy with CI and t-shirt sales - what a missed opportunity!

I meant to get back to you about that film too Tony, but got sidetracked, sorry - here's the link anyway http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0217869/

If i had a dollar for every time the door fell out and onto the floor i would have made an absolute motza.

 Youre right though Tony - i saw some kids undo the door and have it fall to the floor while jason walked past - he didnt bat an eyelid... the mother on the other hand... well she went into panic mode - LOL!!

Nah, really happened, just wasn't Tony - but someone else owned up to leaning on it and making the crack go right from the bottom to the top of the playfield glass.
