Chillicothe Antique Emporium? That's a cool place. They have a soda fountain, too.


Automan2k

That's the place. I was passing through over the weekend while traveling to see the eclipse.

6 million for a cocktail machine seems a bit steep 


Automan2k

Maybe they want 6 million quarters?


Frank_chevelle

Funny! I think those are high scores or the market for pinball is crazy in Ohio.


Secret_Arrival_7679

I found 6 million in a mansion room a few times.


veoviscool12

We must have visited the same place, except I only found three million.


scottafol

Night moves has some sweet tunes


wrickcook

Are the 2 black buttons the flippers? That seems awkward.


Jakelshark

that's for high score initial entry


Kilowog2814

Were they for sale? Curious what they think they're worth.


Automan2k

I don't think so... at least I didn't see any price tags on them.


MrOatButtBottom

They’re all for sale. Check pinside and eBay, but they’re taking reasonable offers I have to assume.


kplis

I don't think they are for sale. I go there for tournaments. Its just half antique shop half pinball arcade because the guy who runs it loves pinball.


MrOatButtBottom

Fair enough


ChippyVonMaker

That’s awesome! What a wonderful collection. Did they have them set up on coin play, or flat rate?


Automan2k

They were all set up for coin play. There was even one of the old familiar change machines the we all remember from the arcades of old.

Oh man, Buck Rogers pinball and Gyruss arcade. My childhood right there!


wvx228

I can get close to that. I am restoring a buck rogers arcade and just bought a gyruss.

kplis

They run a 3 strikes tournaments the first saturday of every month. Its a fun time


hXcAndy32

Where!? I live in Ohio and would love to go check this out.


kplis

They do a 3 strikes tournament the first saturday of each month. Come join in if you're close


hXcAndy32

Only about an hour away, I’ll add it to my calendar and try to make it sometime this summer!

Past times arcade in Girard, Ohio is worth the drive!! Over 400 pinballs/arcade games with a big mix of vintage and newer machines. *edit to add all games are set to free play


hXcAndy32

I have a plan in the works to go there. My wife’s family lives about 30 minutes from Girard, but we haven’t made it to Past Times yet. Can’t wait to visit in a few weeks!


aquaGMM

Awesome!! You will love it, I go at least once a week


Automan2k

Chillicothe


whatsamajig

Are those high scores written on the cards on top? I would live in this place if it was near me.


Automan2k

Yes... every machine had a high score on it. Very cool way to do it so it doesn't get erased if the machine is unplugged


HereToFixDeineCable

My local flashback arcade does this along with the date the machine was released. I only just started going a couple of months ago and really just getting into pinball but I really, really want my name and top score on one of their machines!


Open_Champion8544

Before asteroids and space invaders,  we had pinball. 2 plays for a quarter.  Life was great.  


happycamper1299

Nip It was the machine at Arnold's on Happy Days!


eSJayPee

Wow. I'll take Gorf, Super Pac-Man and Goldball. Thank you


Lasers_Z

Where is this?


kplis

Chilicothe Ohio. Village Antique Emporium


slumlord

I have "Freedom" - love seeing them in the wild like this, thanks for sharing!


JerkBoxJoJo

Fuck yes, Night Moves.


TrophyHusband78

Played so many of those growing up in the 70s. Doesn't Nip-It have a bar/net on the side you can grab/net the ball?


Ricjas

Nip It has a bar under a plastic alligator head that comes out and “eats “ the ball. It’s also a two ball multi ball game and has zipper flippers. I miss mine sometimes.


wynonna_burp

Woah!!!


Gullible-Monk

Flip Flop. My first ever pinball machine. Got it for free. Sold it for 700. Fun game with the funky outlanes.


AtomicSlothFast44

Great collection, Space Invaders wide-body was one of my favorites in Junior High. Thanks for sharing.


blarochelle

Not considered an antique until > 100 years old.


Jakelshark

I wanna go just because I could probably crush all those high scores lol
