game room updates

My friend lent me his extremely rare Power Roulette pachinko so I am temporarily retiring my other 70s pachinko for this one.
My regular 70s pachinko is fun but has no remarkable gimmicks.  This Power Roulette allows you to spin the roulette wheel if you can get a ball in the top center pocket.

Lion Arrangeball, Glory Ball Deluxe, Power Roulette

having owned a number of pachinkos over the years, it's safe to say that I vastly prefer the games with the mechanical shooter.


Please note that all of this is being done with safe social distancing, proper handwashing, gloves, and full masks!
I also got to borrow this cool little MiniBoy poker machine:



During this quarantine I picked up not one but TWO Pike's Peak machines.  The nicer one is above, but it was missing a bunch of the reset mechanisms.
The 2nd one I got was very rough, but had the mechanisms needed, and now I have a full working one and my friend has a project that he will be relatively easy for him to tackle.

This is what this one shelf is looking like now:



I even took time to add more artwork to the walls.  I mean, this is what is BEHIND the machines.  Yeah, running out of room.    New up?  Zarzon and Astro Invader marquees are stunning.   That giant Combat marquee is from Sega in 1969.  And that's a newly added Free Fall playfield on the wall, too.


A bunch more movement coming this summer.
Contact Master is sold and leaving soon.  My Smart Balls are out getting worked on.  and we are all eagerly awaiting arrival of Merry-Go-round and World's Series, which have been out for restoration.
