    I didn't work a pin over, for me it was a parking meter. The main beach we surfed at when I was younger had parking meters that were only installed in the summer. Being that we were locals, lol, and surfed there year round we really despised those meters. Not to mention we were usually broke. Someone discovered that a popsicle stick would easily rack up a few hours of parking. That made my summer

    Quoted from vid1900:

    In the late 70s kids were drilling a hole in a quarter, tying on a string and "fishing" for credits.
    We had to replace the coin mechs to put a stop to that bs.

    I always wanted to try that!

    The electrical slugs. That's classic.

    The best gig I ever had was working for a few of the arcades. Racking up a few credits before leaving work was nice. Plus it gave me a little appreciation for the machines and the perspective of watching people abuse them. I may sneak a few credits, but I've always treated things well, as if they were mine.

    Quoted from mulder2010:

    Hampton was full of arcades, muscle cars & angry police! Fun in the day

    The police did, and still do their very best to keep Hampton Beach from becoming Salisbury Beach lol.
