Open with me circa 1976.

Quoted from LTG:Coin Op related. My friend Jim Moulds on the left, me on the right. I had just changed the chemicals in the photo machine in my father's arcade ( Rifle Sport ) and afterwards we always ran a test set. This would be about 1968, I was 14.

wait, hard to tell.. were you guys changing the chemicals, or huffing them?!?!
