Nino's Big Container Day !

[indazone gav]

I can't spot the DMDs

[Rod71]

Can spot an Old Chicago, Fast Draw, Fan Tas Tic in front of the Honey head. Also a Bronco.

I can't spot the DMDs

DMDs are not stored in this building - They are at home and packed up again after I tested all of them. T3 was placed straight into the games room. I'll post pictures later.

Hmm, and something with wooden legs next to the Fathom....That should spark some interest.

All these jokes about - "hey can you shift the Fathom, I need to move the Medusa to get the Jacks Open down to lift the Surfer which is sitting on top of the World Fair.  The Zip-A-Doo is in the way of the Lucky Strike so I can finally start working on the Diamond Jack."   

The machine next to the Fathom with the wooden legs is a 50's Bingo my Father and I restored - A Bally Miami Beach. We repainted the the cabinet a few years ago and we are waiting on a spare playfield good enough to go in the machine.

WOW.....

Congratulations mate ! 

I love the way the container was packed....

[judgeboz]

wow Nino thats fantantic - what a great collection of pins. I assume you have lots of space at home to store them all. Just need to quit your daytime job and go fulltime restoring them. Keep the pix coming.

Nino,

Just a couple of questions if you don't mind:

1) What was the hardest game/s to source?
2) What game/s did you think would of been hard to source but worked out quite easy to find in the end?
3) Over how long a period was this container put together?

I'd love to John, but then it would not be a "hobby" - if that makes any sense. I want to Enjoy the restores, not depend on them to pay the bills. I will rethink the idea sometime in the future. But not now

Nino,

1) None were hard to source - but to find so many rare EMs was a thrill. Fathoms are always difficult to find. Viking was the hardest.
2) Fathoms
3) Took me 6 weeks to sort out !

Well done Nino

The joy you will get out of restoring all these babies is priceless.
Who every packed the container did a fantantic job,was there any room left in there.

A man who has his priorities right in a big way.
Congrats Nino

[Pop Bumper Pete]

That is great

It must have given you quite a buzz just opening up the container when it arrived, plus a sigh not having any BG broken on the journey

I salute you sir!

And a Very nice machine i might add.  Bloody heavy aswell.
