    Cool thread.

    Although Dan from New Freedom posted same, here is one from a Kings & Queens that I purchased at the York show a few years ago. Really adds character to the machine. Lee

    Wow! That card for Steve Young is a classic from the way-back machine.

    It sometimes seems to me that PA was the land o' plenty when it came to operators and pinball machines. I grew up in MA and my area was a relative desert when it came to pinball machines located on routes. Always a machine at the bowling alleys in my town, but others were hard to find. I went to University in PA and there were pinball machines seemingly everywhere.

    Almost forgot this one which is hidden away on the upper L corner of one of my machines.
    Folks from the Wash DC area may remember this vendor, who made a business out of selling machines to individuals, until they closed down a while back.

    Quoted from Dono:

    I bought my first machine from Alex Paradis, service TECH at Home Amusements back in 1986... they had a ton of games in their show room, and did a lot of repair in their Rockville facility as well. I was looking for a specific game (WMS Gulfstream), and Alex stated he had the body but couldn't find the head... he offered a discount if I could find the head in the cramped and super stacked space upstairs... took about an hour to locate it in 120 degree heat, but in the end I had a nice Gulfstream delivered to my town home in Old Town Alexandria and its been in my collection, set up and playing ever since! I believe Alex is living the dream in CA now.
    Thanks for sharing your sticker![quoted image]

    Good story Don.

    I bought the machine with the Home Amusement Co sticker from a guy who lived in a house located between Silver Spring & Adelphi, MD. His kids had moved out and he was preparing to move back to his home state and the machine didn't work, but I could see it was in awesome condition. The sellers house was built in 1963 and he showed me the entrance to the bomb shelter that was buried under the house, courtesy of the Cuban missile crisis; Remnant of history. Seller told me that another guy had called and offered more money after I had already arranged to come by, but he was sticking with the original deal. I was happy to get the machine.

    Shuffleboards and jukes! Love it.
    Looks like you're just down the road from me about 10 miles.

    I don't think I've seen this one before on this thread. It is on a '71 Bally I picked up. I had never even heard of Mt Ranier, MD and had to look it up. Maybe Dono or someone from DC area might recognize it?
