Wow, four students retrieve old arcades, fix them, and open the first arcade museum in Moscow:

This is way cool !


Now, we already know that there is already a huge pinball hall of fame in Vegas (Tim Arnold)
http://www.pinballmuseum.org/

There is also a pinball museum in France:
http://www.pinballnews.com/news/museum2.html

We also know that Alan Tate & Michael Shalhoub are working at setting-up a pinball museum in Australia
(as documented in The Pinball Compendium books).

... When are we building our Canadian arcade/pinball museum ???
(just need ample time, money and space

Cheers,
- Sylvain.


Looking for 1966 Bally Capersville, 1967 Bally The Wiggler, 1981 Stern Viper, 1986 Pinstar Gamatron,
1986 Williams Grand Lizard, 1991 Williams Bride of Pinbot, and a few others.
Cash or some trades available. Could also repair a machine of yours +/-$ if needed, in exchange for
one machine on my want list, non-working/unshopped welcome!

Well, maybe not a Hall of Fame, but my ultimate dream is to have a MAACA headquarters with a warehouse filled with classic games.

Something like this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMamjHJgaXY

I still get chills looking at that video...


Retiring soon...

The 5 quarters for a buck sign  brought back the most memories.
