Oh Nino - that is just the coolest photo so far. I just kept staring at it and thinking rather than just some random photo 'copied' off the web - here is a photo of a fella you knew, could date it and tell some history.

PLEASE PLEASE make an effort to find some more - I'm sure there are some more  ^^^

Will do Tony.

Spoke to Dad about this picture (sits on my desk now), and he told me that the gun game (I don't recall the name) was "loaned" and never returned. Of course Dad is in his 80's now, and cannot remember what he had for lunch - but he remembers a "lost" machine.

The juke box was sold in 1975-76 - He cannot recall why.

OK - here is a "real" pin picture.

I was working at Musictime in Brisbane and my wife had just had our son - this was the bunch of flowers I was about to take (from work) to the hospital for her.

I was the "head pin tech" at that time as I was the only one with electronic knowledge. You can see it is a Pokerino ??? pretty rare now I would think?

Anyway it is a REAL pic of pins in the field.

No comments about clothes/hair etc please........

JUST AWESOME!! What a fascinating thread - really enjoying it.

My fave of the lot - an arcade with a sign that said 'NO LOITERING'  %.% ...no wonder there's no one there  %.% what else were we supposed to do?

I wasn't even born then , but man that is AWESOME . I wish REAL arcades would come back as the atmosphere is something you just can't replicate at home . These so called new arcades with ticket dispensers are absolutely crap and the people who play them are even crapper ! Teach a young kid pinball and they love them  . More pinball in the public would be awesome .
