I am still living in the 80's man. Just got some old media for my jukebox and some newer media so now I can watch some U2 videos.
I played a lot of Adventure on the Atari 2600 in my younger days. Miss playing that game.
So what non-pinball gifts did you get for Christmas?

Mine also
I got a traffic light!
Saw a BUNCH of them in a small-town antique store back in August, commented on how cool they were, and didn't say much else. Last night I unwrap a "box of clues" for Christmas Eve at my in-laws that direct me to their basement and lo-and-behold - there was one of the traffic lights!
14" 3-panel Alusig. It had GE Traffic 100+ watt incandescent signal bulbs in it and old school flasher inserts, but I've already popped in a modern controller and LED bulbs so I don't have egg-frying temps on the glass. Super happy to have this for the basement!
A moped. I know that sounds lame but our family owned several mopeds when we lived in Hawaii in the late 70's, early 80's. It was more of a nostalgia thing. I brought one of my mopeds back from Hawaii in 1984. Around 1994 I threw it in a dumpster figuring it wasn't worth anything anymore. Now there's quite a cult following for them. The moped I rode the most in Hawaii was a 1977 Cimatti City Bike. I had 2 identical ones. I picked up a 1977 Cimatti City Bike with just 407 miles on it, a couple days before Christmas. That's an average of 8.8 miles per year! My old mopeds were blue. This one is red. It's funny because I also have a 2010 Harley street glide. Next time I'm on my Harley and someone says," nice scooter", I'll ask them, "how do know, you haven't seen it"?! I've already found a kit to punch it out to 80cc's that has bigger carb etc.
Loving the traffic signal posted above BTW.

Very cool. The one in third picture down looks awesome!
