Here's mine: the Apollo machine is a 1967 williams that my brother and I got for Christmas in 1977 and the Lucky Ace is a 1974 williams machine I found on craigslist in my home town and bought for $300. The second is a multicade I found on craigslist. It has 60 of the old popular games like donkey kong, donkey kong jr, pac man, ms pac man, dig dug, frogger and etc.
Cool Black Jade... Do they still require a quarter to play or is that system bypassed? Brings back memories of hanging out at the bowling alley when I was a kid.

Nice Black Jade. Does the Apollo have some animation in the back box near the rocket? My "Soccer" that I used to have fired balls up in there. The good things about the old EM pins is they are very easy to fix when something goes wrong and the 60 in 1 game boards are great value especially when you don't have the room for multiple machines. The only drawback is the sound is not 100% on some of the games. Gyruss sounds terrible and Galaxian is missing the shooting sound.
Mustangmike you can leave them set to take coins are set them on free play so you just press the 1 or 2 player start button.
Thanks guys. They are set on free play, the only one with the ability to take money is the multicade. You are correct Oztrailer, once you complete the countdown it will "lauch rocket" for additional points or the special in the middle. Like Mustangmike I was feeling a little nostalgic for the days of hangin' out at the bowling alley or video arcade so the hunt was on for the multicade. My 15 year old is now hooked on Burger Time and I got my 9 year old hooked on Dig Dug and Donkey Jr. The bowling alley I used to hang out at recently got shut down and the word DIVORCE was heard when I mentioned bringing home a couple of lanes for the basement, so I am not sure what I will be looking for next in those kinds of toys department.

You're not the only one hearing the "D" word thrown around. Geez, if I mention doing another project the word echoes through the house loud clear. This is why I am choosing my next project very carefully. It has to be the right car (LOL) !
Sounds like you Guy's need to tell your Ladies to simmer down, and not to get there Panties in a Wad! They are hard to Sit On! LOL. JTS 71 Mach1
PS Mine and I just celebrated 33 years Married. And we had a rather heated discussion about marital bliss. Which it seems, I was not doing so well at. At least by her assessment. JTS
