I enjoy looking at and playing Bally/Williams games from the 60's & 70's, especially chrome flippers or Kelley/Marche artwork, but if I bring home another game, I'll be punished severely.

So, it may be just parts, manuals, and fun play for me.

Have to laugh at the guy gawking at the female skier's derriere. Not the first time that has happened at a ski resort.

Does the green cabinet really match the playing field and backglass?

Nice busy, detailed, and complicated Stenholm artwork portraying happy downtown 20th Century life in winter.

Really looking forward to playing and photographing that game. Nice seeing that you are bringing it.

Looking for a coin bracket from an early 1960's Williams game. Have the 10-cent collector, but need the bracket that attaches to the back of the coin door. My King Pin, on the top, has one, while my Vagabond, on the bottom, needs one.

Will bring a game up for Free Play or Flea Market, or in an offered space, if there is interest in buying it.

Picked up a '77 Allied Leisure Take Five cocktail party game from a friend's elderly parents, who are downsizing with kids fully grown and out of the house. The game is in good condition, starts up and plays, but has a few items which need to be fixed, including the lighting circuit for the bumper bulbs. It has a self-test system that I have not run yet. Some very old original manual materials came with the game. I believe it has been in only two household basements. Is really fun for younger kids.

The game probably just needs some light tech work. Mine isn't coming until later May. Even when the game is fully repaired, I don't have room for it.

So, if anyone is seriously interested in the game, send me a private DM.

Still looking for a coin bracket from an early 1960's Williams game. Have the 10-cent collector, but need the bracket that attaches to the back of the coin door. My King Pin, on the top, has one, while my Vagabond, on the bottom, needs one.

They look great. I need 28-1/2" chrome legs for my 1971 Williams Olympic Hockey.

I am bringing a project Take Five game to free play (see this thread post #782) and would love to have some advice for myself or its purchaser on correcting minor problems on this Allied Leisure game.

Looking for a table game by Design Plus Industries called International Shoot-Out, preferably in the hockey version.

Try out my '78 Take Five cocktail table game in free play. Available for purchase complete with full manual.

It is a spectacular event. Weather is great and people are happy.

Not only was there a good presence of EM's, but there were also several beautiful historical games. Two were near my game: 1935 Hunter and 1936 Par Golf. Other older games included a 1958 Williams Clubhouse and a 1960 Serenade. In general, there was a much larger group of early Williams than found in most arcades and shows.

If anyone wants details of early games considered worthy of photography and playing, drop a note.

My game also went to a 1st time buyer. Explained the intricacies of the game to him and assembled a folder including a manual, schematics and electronic and book excerpts on the game. Hopefully the pinball fever gets passed on.

The process for bringing a free play game was exceptional. Staff and other pinball people were so helpful. It was a very warm, happy tribe in Allentown this past weekend.
