This seems impossible, but let’s give it a try anyway. I’m trying to track down a Rocky and Bullwinkle machine previously owned by my wife’s family and sold after her father passed 15 years ago. It’s probably changed hands numerous times and may be completely gone, but it doesn’t hurt to try.

So please message me if the following applies to you or anyone you know:

-you purchased a Rocky and Bullwinkle from TNT Amusements (Todd Tuckey) in Southampton PA sometime between 2012-13

(I already spoke to Todd with no luck unfortunately)

Quoted from pinzrfun:

This may be one of those "secretly replace the dead goldfish with a different goldfish and nobody will know the difference" situations......
good luck with your search though......mine didnt come from new jersey......

Yeah this is definitely a longshot but will be fun to try.

Quoted from SKORR_Arcades:

Did you get a serial number from Todd? I'm guessing they would have put a TNT sticker on it.

No, he wasn’t able to provide any info on this, but if there is a sticker maybe someone will reach out

I had the years incorrect, this would have occurred in the 2012-13 timeframe

Updated with a few, hopefully distinguishing, photos.

-Pinball Store, Morrisville PA sticker
-two buttons in place of the Boris button

This is it, trying to track this exact game down:

#14 1 year ago
Quoted from Butch2099:

That 2 button thing might get it found for you...

Sounds like he replaced the 2 button thing at the 5 min mark of the video and upgraded to LEDs. Maybe “The Pinball Store” sticker on the apron survived. I guess I’m really just hoping someone sees the video and remembers they bought that machine

Quoted from mjg417:

I dont understand how Todd would not have any info on who he sold it to?

I gave him all this info and I guess maybe it will ring a bell. I don’t really expect him to be digging through old customers info, but was hoping the game and accompanying video might be recognized

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

He sold it ages ago, and also….like, why would todd want to spend any time on this wild goose chase? He’s a busy guy. And why would he give out a customer’s personal info?
The whole thing just seems a little silly. I imagine todd and his cronies chuckling around the break room table at this request.
A Rocky and bullwinkle is a rocky and bullwinkle and there are a million out there. Why does it have to be “the one?”

Sometimes it’s ok not to have a comment on everything

#21 1 year ago
Quoted from CrazyLevi:

You are a noob.
I’ve know todd 20 years.
Just letting you know how your request was likely received.

You’re prob right.. but i still made the attempt

Thanks for chiming in as always

Quoted from brmorr:

Just wondering how you can say someone is a noob? Is it because he is newer on pinside or ? Someone could have been collecting for years past what you have, but didn't jump on board here or any other pinball newsgroups.

I am new. Only been in the pinball hobby a few years, arcade games a little longer. To your point tho it is irrelevant, just a little jab

I’ve been here long enough to not be surprised at the comment in general tho

#27 1 year ago
Quoted from jgreene:

I'd ignore the sentimental aspect and just go find a nice example. Trying to track down the specific game will make for a nice story but you'll likely overpay to pry it away from someone. Over time you'll probably resent buying the "one".

Yeah i mean I’m not going to get it at all costs, just figured I’d try and crowdsource and see what happens

#29 1 year ago
Quoted from toddtuckey:

We would have NEVER sold it with the two buttons but replaced with the boris button and housing...this will make it harder. Todd

You definitely did fix it up… It’s the game shown in video #826 on your YouTube page (and posted earlier on this thread). Still a longshot but I’ll keep my eyes open

And just for the record, if anyone’s reading this, Todd was very responsive over email when i originally asked, and I’m sincerely appreciative of that
