Hey dueyftw.
Thanks for the tour and I hope your mom's ok there? Never seen those small pinball machines before. Maybe they never made their way down under?
Cheers

The pinball machines started out in the 1930s. You could buy one for $20 dollars and place it in a bar. Split the profits with the bar owner. It was not unusual to make $10 a week from a bingo machine. There's a story of one pinball machine not working after a 2 days. The problem was it was jam full of pennies. Here's a link to the history of pinball machines.

I happen to own four early pinball machines. I also have a coin operated music box from the late 1900s. Two more 3D viewers Plus manual viewers and a ton of cards. The 3D cards would definitely in Australia. They were popular all around the world. I have a "kicker catcher." And a few trade stimulators. I'll be posting more videos as I full up the trailer. The machines in the video cost me about $400 a piece.

My mother is on hospice. She started about 2 weeks ago. I'm from New York and I've been in Florida for the last 3 years or so taking care of her. I'm going to miss her when she finally goes, but I also get my freedom back. I also have family there are just pieces of crap. So I get absolutely no help from them other than hearing that I have no life and I'm a piece of s***.

Hey Dale. Thanks for the link and the info mate! I'd like to think that those little machines are going to be a great investment at some stage
Don't forget your family here!

I wonder if you could make those cards in Moho?

Please accept my condolences on the passing of your Mom.

I have a 3D viewer just like that, but with only a handful of picture cards.
Condolences.

Sorry to hear about your mother, Duey

Thank you for all your sympathies. I do really miss my mom.

How many cards are you missing? I can send you some sheets with the cards on them. You'd have to cut and trim them. I normally take out all the original cards and put in replacements. Or are you missing the tines to hold the cards in place?

if you're trying to do photographic images it most likely won't work, but if you're doing drawings in Moho and using the stereo feature it could work.
