Quoted from Sea_Wolf:Thanks for this. Getting ready to attach a note on the lockdown bar of my Bally Wizard! that reads “Ann Margaret sat here” and see what happens.[quoted image]
Nobody will believe it because it's misspelled, and you forgot the hyphen.
Quoted from nksilva:DanQverymuch No problem at all, yeah, with fees and tax and everything it was less than $750 total. When I went to pick it up (about a 4 hour drive each way) the guy at Goodwill said "Do you know the story of this machine?" I responded "I know the title was played on Happy Days by Fonzie." He replied "This was donated by his estate. At the time they said that it was used as a prop during the filming." I was really surprised that they were claiming that this was the actual machine from the show. I'm kind of skeptical that it was actually on the show, but I don't really doubt it was donated by the estate. The Goodwill guy said that they get lots of donations from celebrities and their families due to their location. All in all, I'm super excited for this project and it really looks to be in great shape.
I'd have something written up to that effect and see if they will sign it. A little "provenance".
Quoted from gjm:The pinball machine at "Archie's Place" is a 1976 "Night Rider" machine from Bally.
For people who don't know, Archie is from one of the greatest comedy sitcoms in TV history: All In The Family
I don't understand the downvote, but anyway, there were many different pins shown on Archie Bunker's Place.
Quoted from gjm:Kinda funny how at a TV show taking place in the mid 50's has a pinball machine from 1973.
Pins are often thought to be older than they actually are. Several times on American Pickers, they date a game much earlier than it actually is. I wonder who their "experts" are!
