I remember seeing the x-rated CFTBL PF in a game at the Chicago expo in 1999, i believe, might have been early 2000s. At Gene's Bloomington auction in early 2000s of his vast collection of games he no longer wanted, he auctioned off some special commissioned Dave Christensen work, that included artwork on round mirrored glass, like for a coffee table, that depicted a woman's vagina in full spread eagle view.
Yeah John
Thems it.
I also remember we both bid against each other on several machines,
including Solar Fire, Spirit, Mata Hari EM and a few others I think.
Or maybe that was Mike Schudel?
If I remember correctly, I ended up bidding and winning on several games
Target Alpha, Spanish Eyes and Seven Up/
The late great Mark Clayton was also there.
Also remember seeing a butt load of games that had missing heads and cabinet bodies without heads,
apparently an aftermath from some feud with Mike Pacak and as a result of Mikes divorce, his ex wife
sold to Gene, cheap; the mis-matched game parts just to screw with him. Or so the story goes that I heard.
Yeah a broken BG, and some other cosmetic stuff, but I truly thought that I also bid on it too. In hindsight, i should have bid on it, but at that time finding a replacement BG was remote. And maybe i was at my funds limit and also i had to factor in the shipping costs back to Calif. I had flown out to the auction and drove a rent a car from St Louis, where i stayed with an aunt and uncle. I later bought an EM Mata Hari from Bill Kurtz and paid significantly more, and still later was able to buy a repro BG from Shay, as my kurtz BG had skin cancer.
