A row of videogames. Some dead, some alive. Looks can be decieving! The Wacko cabinet on the side is not trashed! That is how the cabinet was designed. |
There were plenty of slot machines to choose from. |

More pins roll in on Friday. They all worked as far as I can remember, and went on the high side. Why? Some winning bidders were first time coin op collectors and they wanted a pinball machine. Simple as that. |
This Paragon pin was clearly a project. It was missing the solenoid driver board, both flipper coils, and possibly some other stuff. From looking inside, you could tell it had been in storage for a bit too. Final bid: $375 I think. |

There was an interesting assortment of videogames, as I mentioned. |

I got hooked like a junkie on "Kuri Kinton," made by Taito, 1988. Would I bid on this? Stranger things have happened. |
It's a Japanese fighting game, where your player rides in on a moped to fight other karate guys on a lunar surface, then infiltrates the underground fortress, fighting more bad guys to rescue his girlfriend. The cabinet's shape indicates this game was probably a Robotron or Defender vid at one time. |
Oops! I forgot my hat. |
Here's a better shot of the screen. Click on the pic to see a closer view. |

I did in fact bid on this 1960 AMI juke. |
"God Blessed Texas" sounded pretty good, but my Seeburg USC-1 1971 juke sounds clearer and louder. However, that didn't stop me from wanting this juke. The design was just so cool! Buy It Now for $3,150. Didn't happen. It went up for auction Saturday afternoon. |
