Had a great day today and was finally able to do something other than work. I spent half of my day picking up and setting up my new pinball game – F-14 Tomcat by Williams. Isn’t she a beaut? (More pics after the jump) (more…)
I had to say goodbye to an old friend this past week, but got to say hello to another. My arcade hauler has been out of commission for six months and I finally gave in and shelled out some dough to get the transmission fixed. However, although what I was prepared to pay based on the estimate eventually turned into an additional 25% price increase at the last minute. Unprepared for the huge spike (transmission rebuilds ain’t cheap!), I needed some additional money – and fast! Goodbye Little Chief!
So my website design company finally moved out of our teeny office space into a much larger (and cooler) office. In the office was a perfect little nook for a couple games. Since it is mostly for novelty and not necessarily collectability, I decided to bring up Strato-Flite as the first of two games to reside there.
She’s not 100% just yet, but she’s doing a lot better than when I first turned her on. (more…)
My daughther had her friend from next door come over and visit yesterday so we blew some time playing arcade games in the basement. My daughter is used to playing the games (although she still prefers to just drop quarter after quarter into the coin slots instead of actually playing the game), but her little friend is a first-timer. His hands-down favorite was my Williams Little Chief EM pinball. The minute he started hearing the chiming and clicking, he threw up his arms in triumph and said “Cool!” Both the kids are only three years old – gotta start ‘em young! Keepin’ the dream alive, baby!
