A real pinball machine was out of the question, so I got this for Christmas in '76. That's me playing, with my older brother, dad and grandfather.

Great thread. So many childhood memories refreshed by seeing some of these old toys.

Quoted from gatordad:

I had one of those spin welders
Wow.... forgot all about it until you posted
For some reason the picture you posted reminded of that smell
Funny how the brain works

OMG!! YES! SO strange how the brain works - as soon as I saw that picture I could remember the smell. Wow - talk about a blast from the past!

This is another favorite thread for me - so many 'memory flashbacks' prompted by your pictures and posts. Thanks!

I've lurked enough - here's a few captures from my dads old 8mm films.

Christmas 1964. I was born, and only days into my life I'm being traumatized by my brother.

Christmas 1962 - two years before I was born. My parents spoiled my older brother. Hey - we're in Texas - so it's a tractor and a gun for you!

Quoted from ultimategameroom:

what’s up with all the broken balusters on the stairs?
I can only guess damage from moving machines?

Not my house, but yeah - suspect those stairs have seen 100’s of games go up and down.

This was one of my favorite Christmas presents. That's me playing, with my brother, dad and grandfather watching.

I just reported this post for moderation. This is one of the few feel-good threads on Pinside, can we not keep it on topic please?

Back on topic and related to Giger, I was 14 years old in 1979 when Alien was released. It was my 1st R rated movie. A friend and I paid to see 'Hooper' and snuck into Alien instead. I was amazed by the effects, totally sucked into the story, and almost passed out during the chest-burster scene. To say that movie made an impact on that 14-year-old is an understatement.
