An Oldtime Pinball Machine for the Game Room

We love hanging out in our basement family room/ game room.  We collect vintage games such as Pachinko and some old ball shooter games.  Today as I was on our local 'Craigslist-like' online marketplace, I saw an ad for an old pinball machine.  I do a lot of garage-saling and looking online and have not seen one like this before.  I thought it would look great in the game room.  Of course, it was crazy-worry time for me as we had to drive home 30 miles with it in the back of the truck.  Luckily it made it and my worst "old pinball machine strewn all over the freeway" fears didn't come to pass.  :)



I absolutely love the graphics painted on the sides of it.  We think it is a pretty old one based on the birds' eye maple wood on the edges and legs. 
 
 
















 
My very handy husband will be digging into it soon and hopefully get it working perfectly again.  In the meantime, I'm just excited to have it!
 
Thanks for your visit!

Come on Over for Some Old Fashioned Fun

We love hanging out with friends in our game room.

Between air hockey, Wii and the dog running back and forth, it does get a little crazy!  (ok, a lot crazy!)





My parents gave us this old Coke machine.  My husband cleaned it up and I think it looks great!




We love this little popcorn maker.  It's not old, but looks retro, which is fun. 





Some old favorite foods on the menu...



The place to settle the tab at the end of the night.  :)



How about a little game of Pachinko?




So come on over, grab a drink and some snacks and have a great time!

Thanks for your visit!

p.s.  I am getting SO frustrated with Blogger!  My posts usually don't show up for a few hours on the blogroll or dashboard!  I have cleared my cache, refreshed, etc. and it continues to do this.  If anyone has any suggestions, please leave a comment or email me.  Thanks!
