Chicago Coin Showtime, probably overpaid at $300. Like most other Chicago Coin games, it isn't very good but can't let it go either for the same reasons as most others. Had nowhere to put it, so I SLEPT next to it for a solid few months in my bedroom. Had EM stink BAD and pretty sure it had mold on the bottom. Finally came to my senses and moved it to New Jersey with my arcade machines.

Still have it, now sits taken apart in my garage in the queue to be fixed up. I lost the bonus unit spider I was "working" on, so I am buying a new unit this week actually. Will be cool to replace the whole thing and also have a spare. I also had a burned out reel where the plunger got stuck inside the sleeve so I tried to swap it and all I remember is I swapped it with a player 4 reel with no solder, just twisting the wires around the metal tabs and since one of the coil connections pulled too hard with no solder and kept falling off I put a jumper to extend the wire. Can't wait to fix it up! Previous owner incorrectly said not to tip them over either so my family and I had to squeeze it into the house and through very tiny hallways and door ways with the legs on by hand and set it down often. Total HELL.

Talk about an awful playfield layout, though (picture from IPDB):
