There was an old, half-removed sticker on my '64 Gottlieb Big Top referring to a routing/rental outfit called "..nt's Antique Players", phone number ending in xxx-0135. Machine picked up in the Dallas area in 2016, in pretty rough shape.

I was curious if anyone has heard of them...?

By Jove that's it! Thank you.

Just spoke to the man, Don Bryant, 77.

Interesting guy, very pleasant. He used to deal heavily in pins, sold hundreds all over the Dallas area. Now only player pianos, but not much of that either, as he had a stroke.

Indeed, he talked for quite a while about his heyday in the mid '70s, when he was buying old pins by the hundreds. He had 500+ at one point. He would refurbish everything and slowly sell them for home use.

I didn't comprehend the full story, but he said there was a situation over in Louisiana, mid '70s, where state law changed somehow and mandated a technology update on coin ops (some feature couldn't be EM any more, it had to a video screen(?). As a result he said operators were dumping so many EMs they were being left for trash pickup all over the place . Don said he was renting entire warehouses to store his pins.
