A buddy of mine had these on all his machines at his place and I'd been looking for them for a while, I finally found them today at Canadian Tire.

They are plastic cup holders used in cars, they have a hook on them but the great thing is, you cut off the hook and the hole on the back is the perfect size for the pinball bolt on the legs for our machines.  Most cup holders designed for pinballs cost $15 - $20 each!  These were $1.65 for a pack of 4!!  I just put them on all my machines as I'm sure most of you know the pain of trying to figure out where to put your beer while your playing.  Also the problems that come from non collectors who keep put there drinks on top of the glass on your machines.  

Anyway these are great, I put 2 on each machine so I'll never have that issue again.

Agree pics or bar code. I've been to Nick's as well and asked about them --- this is a couple of years ago. I couldn't find them and now cann't remember what they look like

Pictures and barcode as requested

I found them in the car section of Canadian Tire, I pretty much cleaned out my Canadian tire in Keswick, they were all dusty looked as no one had even looked at them in a while.

Hopefully you guys find them in your area.

No offense, but they look kinda cheap...
(...but maybe that's just me...)

I'm sure they are very functional, and as much as I thought I'd use these,
I can't see myself hanging those things on my pins... just wouldn't look right...

Then again, I guess it's still way better than spilled beer on the topglass..



Cheers,
Steph

I wanted something cheap as I have 13 pins and to put a drink holder on all 13 would tend to get quite expensive.

They look cheap because they are cheap, but they are functonal.  I don't have alot of table space so these are perfect.  Like I mentioned I wanted at least one on each machine so if you are paying $15 to $20 per cup holder thta is going to add up, now I've got two on each machine and two on my MAME, works for me.

I agree !$20 x 13 = $260 CAD . That would be an ultimate board ' s price . Also , by cutting the bracket closer to the bolt , buffing it round and spraying it gloss black , it would do the job for me ...
