THE GAME ROOM IS FULL. NO MORE ROOM AT THE INN

Not because I would not like another game or two... I just ran out of space.  One dozen cousin is all that I can comfortably fit into my basement game room and still enjoy it.  In addition to that I have a wife who is constantly on patrol for new slot machine stuff.  "where did that come from" are all four letter words in my house.


7 Bally EM games, 5 IGT Fortune 1 games and an assortment of signs and period pieces have sealed the deal.   Some members of NLG have been here and had a ball playing the old machines.  That is my joy and this is my humble offering to the Show off My Game Room forum. 


A SPECIAL THANKS TO my friend shorttrackskater if ANY picture makes it to this post.  He is a great mentor and teacher.

Nice collection you have there. I really like the dice and 21 video machines. You don’t see them very often. Then you have that older looking light on top of one, very cool. Nice Bally collection too. What Demon is your Metalist?

There is ALWAYS room for 1 more!  LOL.  Love your EM's and the stands.

RiseLikeRa:
Gary and Rick thank you both for the kind words. :thank_you:


Gary the light is probably as old as the Bally EM's.  I was riding down the street and saw it at curbside.  Not a single crystal broken.  The colors when lit match the Bally glass pretty good.  Its heavy and very well made.  When I found it it did not work.  I have a great deal of Sanford and Son in my blood.  I rewired it and it adds a beautiful glow to the game room without making the playing area too bright.  I use an LED bulb in it to give off nice warm light and because I am wicked cheap.


The Medalist is a 10 cent machine.  A friend of mine was restoring the game and I made him an offer.  Since I had several 5 cent games and a 25 cent game at the time I asked that he make this one a dime.  It worked so so at first.  The coin mech rejected about every 4th dime.  He told me that 10 mechs were REALLY hard to find.  The original one in the game was from an old pinball.  As long as you fed that coins very slowly it would not jam.  Remember in pinball you just put 1 coin in and you are off to the races.  In a multi coin game this mech was spoiling the fun.  I called the company that makes the mechs for these games.  A very nice lady actually had this one made brand new.  It took some time and warehouse searching because no games has been operated by a dime in decades.  Now the Medalist is as smooth as butter.  Expensive yes, but worth it to me.


I have NEVER seen a TV Dice other than mine.  The 21 game I have seen one other recently.  The other game was big since that slot and the stand were built together.  It is the oldest of this kink that I own.  Made by Fortune Coin Company before the became SIRCOMA and then IGT.


Rick I am ABSOLUTELY in the buy one/sell one realm now, plus I am out of stands :rotfl:


Stay well all and Rise Like Ra!

Amechanic:
Nice job on saving the lamp Ra!!! I have a quarter Bally Metalist myself. I have picked up 2 others too. I think it would be cool to have one in Nickel, Dime, Quarter side by side.
