Visiting a Game Auction at Winston-Salem POSTED: 1/2/2002 8:35:04 PM | PERMALINK Me and my friend James took the short trip up to Winston-Salem to see a game auction. We had a great time playing all the pinball machines there. Unfortunately, there was only 1 Electro-Mechanical pinball machine, an Amigo (see pictures). As we were trying to get it to work, somebody came by and gave us a hand. The machine was having trouble getting through its startup sequence. He was able to get it going after discovering a bad switch on one of the the player 4 score reels. Turns out this guy has been repairing pinball machines for 30 years... Our favorite pinball was, by far, the Fireball Classic. (You can see it on the right side of the first picture) We were racking up tons of free games on it until our mojo ran out. Luckily, I remembered to bring an extension cord. That way we could power up any game there. Unfortunately, we forgot to bring quarters!!! Not that we really needed them, but without them, we had to find and manually close the coin switch for each game. No problem really, but we got a good laugh out of it.

Date: November 1976, 4 players Model number: 392 Production run: 7285 Theme: Outer Space Design: Ed Krynsky Art: Gordon Morison Notes: A 4-Player version of Solar City, Convertible to Add-A-Ball I'll be posting more information later including pictures and small repairs I've done. |
