My first arcade machine. Hope they don't breed like soda machines :-)
Any info much appreciated.

        I know nothing about it Creighton, so I can't help you but it looks like a fun way to kill time while waiting for clothes to dry.

that is one of my favorite games, use to play it almost every day.  here is something you might be interested in and the price is right.  They are usually all scratched up.

Very Cool Creighton.. CL ad is deleted, so we need pics!!!!!

Here is a link to the original flyer for the game.. Looks like its list price when new was $1095... http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&db=arcadedb&id=69&image=1

Thats pretty cool! What makes the images on the screen? I noticed that it said no film, no belts and other stuff so just curious since it sounds like it does not have a CRT in there like an 80's arcade game.

Will do on the pic's. Couldn't get them to cut/n/paste but unit will be home Tue.
Saw the wheels as well thanks for the heads up.
Thanks!

SB,
Best I can tell the the cars are projected from the spinning disks to the screen. No idea how this worked but will be sorting it out :-)
I do remember playing this game. 1971 or so.

Speedway is in the shop. That is one heavy machine. It will be an interesting project. Insane amount of relays and wiring.

Need a slug rejector and backglass for starters.

Attached pics are as found condition. Cabinet and glass are just dirty. Should clean up fine.

Thanks for any input!!
