    Default I just feel sorry for them...

    oppps...I did it again....

    On the way home from picking up a machine I won on ebay I drove by a yard sale yesterday I saw another vintage machine. It had been neglected, rusty chrome, dirt in the supply trays, rusty balls, missing parts....

    Anyway the seller was asking $25.00, I offered $10.00 told him I had one in the back of the truck that I had just paid $15.00 for that was in better shape than his and explained all the problems with the machine, he countered with $20.00, I countered back with $15.00 and we had a deal...

    Now I have 27 vintage machines....

    Way more machines than I can display, eventually I'll get around to restoring them and send them away to good homes....Some will donate their parts so others can live... the circle of life...

    Wife says I can't have more than 50 machines at any one time so I still have room for a few more....

    If I had 50 machines, I wouldn't have to worry about my wife, she'd be gone.
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.

    I could probably get a few more since they are all out in the Garage and Workshop, All I have to do is buy her a PacMan or Ms. PacMan Game and she will be happy...
