Great work Tony. Thanks for posting these. The room looks a little different to when I last saw it! 
Do you know the history of any of the games? They have probably had many owners but it's always interesting to know where they were from, if they were onsite somewhere, etc
Regards Derek
Thanks Derek,
Yeah huge turn over of games since your were here.
Three of them had their original operaters sticker on the card tray so I could tell what State of the US those 3 came from. Some also have their original 'licence' stickers on the top arch which show what US State they came in from. Also inside 2 of them were operaters business cards and also paper work such as when the games had been serviced, what parts had been replaced etc. Real interesting stuff
One of the things that really freaked me out was when I was setting up the
Criss Cross (which has had the backglass changed during it's life to
Ski Champ - go figure) I pulled the lock from the back door as it had no key. Once the door came off it was like somebody blew cigarette smoke in my face - it just stunk of cigarette smoke. So it made me wonder what kind of dingy pool hall this game had sat in since 1958. This game had been in storage since 1971, so it must of been in a very smokey room!
