Here is another amusement machine that I can remember from my childhood in the 90s. This one was a strong man in a black vest and you had to punch him on his belly. I can remember one of my cousins going on one once.

i believe it is called a punch out or something of that nature. you can find similar machines at arcades these days, but it is a hanging bag instead of a man

Was there really an amusement machine that made this noise?

I can vaguely remember when I was about 4 and I went to an amusement arcade and stood next to this pinball game and it went ARRRRRRR! in this high pitched voice and made me jump and cry. Then I can remember another one doing it that one of my parents was on. It was a racing car game. I wonder if there were amusement machines that made that noise or if it was all in my mind or even if I dreamt it.

Question answered by peterpipersux

well, the largest coin vending company in the nation (coinstar - amusement factory - folz - sugarloaf ) does it this way. you start with the store manager, and if they are agreeable, then there is usually a contract stating a time period, and comission rate. comission ranges from 30 to 50 percent, depending on location. most big chains already have contracts with large companies like coinstar - but there is some leeway. you'll have better luck getting in with smaller stores though. i have a 25 head rack in a wal-mart that does nearly $1000 a month. ( my best.) on the flip side, I have several 8 heads in family dollar stores that are lucky to pull in $50. both require the same amount of attention. location, location, location.

Does anyone really remember what this amusement machine was?

Here is another question that I answered before on Yahoo Answers. This time I will make it a bit more simple. The machine was a lady in a red dress. The dress use to swing up and go WEEEEEEE! Someone told me that is was a strength tester one. They could not remember the name of it and I use to be very frightened of it when I was only 6. It was in amusement arcades from about 1992-1998. I really am curious to know what it was.

Question answered by Steven D

Plug it in and see if it works. Buying a used pinball machine can be a nightmare. We bought one form the local amusement company and all we did was replace the glass with plexiglass. That was because it had a bad crack in it and would have cost a small fortune to get tempered glass for it.

Question answered by penworkdesigns

In the phone book look up amusements/arcade in the yellow pages and let you fingers do the walking. Go with a rental of these machines it is more beneficial to you. They amusement company will maintain and change the games and you will get a percentage of the revenue. This should cost you next to nothing.

What is the most difficult "step" in repairing an EM pinball machine?

I have an EM pinball machine that suddenly stopped working. I'm thinking it is just a fuse and am starting to read up before I jump in head first. Any thoughts on where I should start looking for the problem?

Question answered by lagjan

Pinball machine can be divided into two general areas, the playfield and the backbox. There are also two general categories of pinball machines, solid state (SS) and electro-mechanical (EM) machines. SS machines have digital displays that power up when the machine is turned on. EM machines use mechanical reels that spin to display the score. Maintenance of SS and EM playfields are similar. However, the similarity ends there. EM machines use relays, motors and switches to run the game. SS machines rely on electronic circuit boards (PCB) to control the game. The first step is to identify your pinball machine type and model. An excellent resource is the Internet Pinball Database. Look up your pinball machine on this database to determine what type it is. Find out the manufacturer and the type Solid State Electronic or Electro-mechanical and the year. If your machine is solid state, also note the MPU type. You can then use this information to identify the information you need to research at PinballHQ.com or other websites. It is always helpful to have the operating and repair manuals. For older machines, this may be a single manual. For later machines, usually two or even three manuals may be needed. These manuals can usually be purchased at Steve Young's The Pinball Resource, Marco Specialties, or Mayfair Amusements. If your machine was manufactured by Stern, Sega or Data East, the manuals may be available from Stern Pinball, Inc. in fact it's not a difficult job, i suggest following instructions and there won't be any problems.
