Back in the '80's, Paragon Park at Nantasket was auctioned off. I believe around the same time Lincoln Park may have been as well. Were any members here into arcade machines back then, and attend any of these auctions?

I remember Paragon Park in the '70's still had a lot of vintage machines. The creepy Fortune Teller was one.

When the kids were younger a trip to Disney World back in the '80's, I remember they had an antique Penny Arcade with some real early stuff. Classic penny and nickel machines from the early days.

I never attended any of the auctions..but ended up with a Flight 2000 that someone had bought at the Lincoln park auction.
It was in great shape - now moved on to another collector on the East Coast.

No, but apparently there's an upcoming auction in Rhode Island with a lot of vintage pins. They're listed on Mr. Pinball.
