anybody can help me with finding these cartoon (quarter booths) from the early 80s Arcades?
All I remember is a woody wood pecker cartoon in these quarter booths, where you pull a curtain for privacy, insert quarter into the slot, and wait for the woody wood pecker cartoon to show. These were fond memories of mine… Anybody know what the correct term for these machines in the late 70s and early 80s were? Any links to general info or those for sale/auction? Anyhelp would be appreciated.
Answer:
I have came across more people looking for these lately than ever before. I came to own one in either 98 or 99. It came with a lot of arcade machines I won. Ummm There were no markings in the or on the cabinet. It could seat one larger child or two smaller children. Placing a coin in it would activate a contact that turned on a (get this) film projector. It was a continuous loop projector. (One film that feed across pulleys allowing the play of around 15 minutes worth of film.) The quarter would allow the film to play between 1 to 5 min adjustable with a timer in the cabinet. I think that I found it was made around 1973. I sold it with in a week, Its not what I was into messing with.
My thoughts on it:
They were cool and can see why people are looking for them. How ever they were not built to last, they were large and heavy. I think many were just destroyed. I think I may build a few myself and use DVD and Flat screens tho, and incorporate a Mini game in them.
Finding one will take persistence, place wanted adds in the local Classified ads, and on creigslist..
