The motorcycle game.........used to play those growing up at Canobie Lake Park in NH, just brings back my childhood Let me know if anyone here is able to grab them................good luck, I envy the winners Title: Re: Wish I had the cash for these.............

Here is the museum link: http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=4000 Creighton Title: Re: Wish I had the cash for these............. Post by: rayg on February 13, 2013, 07:24:22 pm The Motorcycle Game is well worth the $500, it looks to be in great shape ...too bad Rhode is too far from Michigan
Creighton, It would look great next next to your Speedway! Title: Re: Wish I had the cash for these............. Post by: Creighton on February 13, 2013, 07:51:34 pm It would be the perfect pair. Sadly Rhode is a serious road trip from WA :-)
Looks to be in great shape so agree worth $500. EM's scare the hell out of a lot of folks though. Seller might not get much interest. I'd contact the seller tell him you played it as a child and it would go to a good home, but xx is best you can do. You might get lucky. I've never seen the top attract glass that this one has. The inards are the same as Speedway so any issues should be able to sort. BTW it rates a 10 in the heavy and awkward to move :-) Creighton Title: Re: Wish I had the cash for these............. Post by: rayg on February 13, 2013, 08:09:20 pm I bet they would be allot heavier that a video arcade game which is basic a empty cabinet with some circuit boards, the bulk of the weight is the monitor, the EM games are loaded with relays and allot of mechanics to make it all work.
I worked a few EM pins, spend allot of time, cleaning contacts on the relays and switches.... :laugh: I got some great (commercial grade) contact cleaning strips...if you want some Creighton for your Speedway I'll send you batch. Let me know ! Title: Re: Wish I had the cash for these............. Post by: Blind1968 on February 13, 2013, 08:13:58 pm Those would be cool but would take up allot of space I don't have...the only thing that has kept me from buying more soda machines :biggrin:

Stupid question but how much is there to the inner workings of the machine? Is it alighted rotating scroll or is it a projected image. I'm very well in the beginner stage of working on any EM machine and wouldn't want to venture too far over my head if I get the cash together to pull the trigger........ Title: Re: Wish I had the cash for these............. Post by: BrianS on February 13, 2013, 10:51:39 pm I love that bowler machine. There are some YouTube videos of it in action - way cool.
Title: Re: Wish I had the cash for these............. Post by: Creighton on February 13, 2013, 11:06:57 pm Arrgghhh. Wrote a reply and now it's gone. It projects light past the driver and through two wheels to a mirror. Mirror reflects image to a piece of plexie.
Over the top cool EM. Here's some pic's of the inards. Creighton Title: Re: Wish I had the cash for these............. Post by: Funtronics on February 14, 2013, 09:43:56 am That game looks neat. I bet its a blast to play.
