Great to hear Mike....Looking forward to meeting and you seeing & playing my collection of 28 machines. Don't forget to drop by and comment on any videos on my channel.
Wow Vic who knew the risks involved in playing pinball in your era!!! I love listening to your history my friend. Looking forward to catching up with you soon! John Long 1205.
In Hot Springs, Ar, Win Rockefeller came to Arkansas and became governor in 1969. One of the first thing he did was outlaw the bingo machines. I was like you, addicted to them. The silver sails machines I could control the best. I scored a lot of five in a lines on them. At Sim's Cigar Store there was one where if you held the blue button in when you put the nichol in, it would jump to six odds instead of staying at four. Any four in a row scored scored twenty games instead of sixteen. So we cashed out for a dollar and played pool and drank soda and ate cheese crackers. They never did fix the machine. I guess they could not. That was so much fun. The extra games you won made it a whole lot easier to win the dollar. Then got another five nichols to play. I own a silver sales bingo now. But not as much fun to play without the pay out. After that they put flipper machines like Quick Draw in the stores. It was never as much fun after that!
Tim this is exactly the kind of comments I was hoping to hear. There are not that many people that ever played a bingo and there's even less that ever end up collecting Bingos, so I'm glad you drop my channel and shared this very cool story. I am really enjoying hearing comments from everyone that's been participating in my PINBALL TALK videos as of lately. Thanks for dropping by!
Click on the links in the video description section on this video to learn about Bingo Pinball Machines. Thanks for the comments. Stop back and let us know if you visit any of the Bingo Pinball Machine website and what you think about them.
If you can trouble-shoot and repair an EM pinball machine, especially a 2 or 4 player EM...then you can repair a Bingo Pinball. A Bingo Pinball just has more electro-mechanical parts and of course you have to know the sequence of how & what the features provide to the player. There is a Book by my friend Jeffrey Lawton called BINGO PINBALL MACHINES and you can by it online or I can give you Jeffrey email and get a sigh book by him>
Vic its so cool hearing about the Seaside Heights boardwalk it also brings back fond memories too.

I've never seen a bingo pinball in real life, just on YT. It looks like repairing one could be a nightmare.
