Quoted from oldcarz:

Got some fun things in the basement:
Condom dispenser - works and is still loaded with sealed prophylactics. I wouldn't trust one, though.
Westinghouse fans - the 2nd one with brass blades was restored. Very heavy "portable".
Unrestored "a-ooga-horn" . Not a Claxton, but serves the same purpose. I used to have this mounted on the side of my '63 Corvair.

Ok, this is a cool thread!
In Norway we have a history of "flick-a-coin" games. They were at one point all exterminated by allowing to replace them by far better earning slot machines. Actually the same rule applied to any coin-op machine including pinballs and arcade games. The government demanded 25% VAT on all incomes, operators complained and they came up with this rule: replace your amusement/skill machine with a slot-type machine.
Anyhow, I collect these machines. Many of the most popular ones were produced in Finland, and also used there. In Finland they are called Pajatso. Finland managed to keep the tradition far longer, even today there are some left in operation.
From my viewpoint these machines share many key features with pinball machines. There is a mechanical almost uncontrollable element. Control requires skill. However gameplay is less complicated. Insert a coin, hit one of the gates and win usually anywhere between 2 and 20 coins.
I enclose one picture, more pictures and more machines on this link:

Quoted from DirtFlipper:

Very cool. Looks like the seller also has a '68 Irving Kaye Batting Practice sitting next to it too.

Quoted from AlexF:

Here's a pic of my bowler. Hard to get a good shot with low ceilings and poor lighting....
I just went through the mechanicals, cleaned it up a bit and refinished the woodwork. Could still use a correct set of legs and maybe a backglass upgrade down the road. Also missing the pin guard but that's ok I like it without.

you need a "south of the border" sign...
one of these days i'm gonna make it to your place (i promise not to trash your jukebox )... only problem is that i might not want to leave...

Quoted from Honch:

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:

I played hooky today to go retrieve this old punch clock. A fellow Pinsider was also kind enough to give me an old pinball game (Oh Boy) he saved from the dumptser. Thanks jho159! A fun day down in Chicagoland.

Quoted from hoov:

If anyone is looking for something a little different to put in their collection, I just placed this on the market. Midway made this Mystery Score monster-themed pitch and bat game in 1965 and made less than 124. Some of these playfields (on Clay's site) actually have slings and stand-up targets. It is playing but does need restored. There's one other person on Pinside who has this playfield and one of us are going to submit pics to the IPDB.

Nice machine!
I have a few nickel slots. The Mills Horsehead bonus has the cool feature where you collect letters in order to collect a bonus jackpot payout. Pretty cool feature designed to keep someone playing longer.

Check with Mike Pacak. I think he goes by MikePin here.

Quoted from John_In_WI:

I have a late 50's Bally bowler that I've been chasing a scoring gremlin on. On occasion, when scoring 20+ points (spare + strike or after a double), it will score 10 extra points.
Could find nothing electrically wrong so jumpered the wire driving the 10's score reel coil to a coil of a reel on an unused player.
Turns out it's a mechanical with the player one 10's reel as the one I jumpered to does not score extra.
Spring I'm assuming? Any other ideas?

Quoted from DropTarget:

Very cool. I used to go there as a kid.
