Love the thread idea and your Swami napkin holder(I want one). I like anything fortune teller related. My brother has a beautiful 1950's big ball bowler. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of it(I'll have to get some), but it is a blast to play. If I had the room, I'd have one too. 
Quoted from Hoopjohn:I have a 1957 United "Bowling Alley" small ball bowler, a 1962 Chicago Coin "Gold Crown" big ball bowler, and a 1954 United "11th Frame" shuffle alley.....unfortunately, I have never been able to upload photos on pinside.
That's a bummer, I'd love to see them. I always thought the ball return on those BBBs were awesome.
Quoted from SteveFury:My restored 160 selection 1961 Seeburg:
Very nice! Looks pretty mint, Steve. A good friend of mine has the exact same model. I helped him move it into his basement and it was the heaviest damn thing I ever moved.
Quoted from AlexF:I like this kind of thing as much as pinball, maybe more.
I think I'm in this camp too. I think pinball rocks, but there is just something special about the old EM coin op/penny arcade games that I just love. I don't care if it's a fortune teller machine or a big ball bowler, I love them all.
Quoted from jrpinball:That's a perfect spot for that bowler, but how the heck did you shoehorn it in there?
The guy that helped him move it is still back there. 
At first glance, that first pic of the condom machine looked like some big white vending machine with an orange inlay.
Quoted from illawarra92:slightly off topic..does anybody collect old arcade signs to complement their games?
I don't, but I would if I could find some.
Quoted from EM-PINMAN:I would love to get one of these down the road for my collection.
A friend of mine has something similar to this along with a 1950's hotdog roller and the food tastes awesome. They would make a great addition to any game room.
Quoted from meSz:Picked up a Bally Table Hockey.
Pretty cool! I've never seen one of those before. Any chance of posting a video once you have it working?
Quoted from meSz:No need to wait, another guy posted a video already and it can be found here.
Thanks.
Quoted from kovalski3:My son is addicted to it.
I can see why, that thing looks mint.
Quoted from kovalski3:Picked this up over the weekend.
Where do the pins go when you hit them? Do they get pulled up out of the way or pulled below the lane?
Quoted from AlexF:Maybe the wrong spot to post this but I brought this old girl home this week and I'm so proud. It hasn't been restored, but I sort of like it's aged beauty.
I don't think anybody is going to mind you posting that pic here, it's beautiful.
Quoted from kovalski3:This one is HUO
HUO and it was made in 1971. 
That's an amazing find if it's true.
Quoted from ZNET:I will have to post a video on YouTube at some point.
Looks awesome! I can't wait to see how it works.
Quoted from ZNET:Below are some close-up photos of my 1972 Sega Monster Gun targets and backbox internal mechanisms.
Amazing photos. Your game looks like it just rolled off of the assembly line.
Quoted from dave58:Just finished some TLC on this '57 Bally ABC Bowler. It needed new pins, but couldn't find a repro set. Took the old yellowed pins and cleaned/repainted them. Then reproduced the Brunswick logo and crown for the pins and changed the #63 bulbs to LED"s. Added LED bulbs in the backglass for some extra brightness.
Absolutely beautiful!
Quoted from Hot_Rod_Grille:The toilet seat was pinstriped
That's hilarious. Looks good too. I went with a condom machine and urinal in my bathroom too. I get more comments on those two items than anything else.
