Challenge Crane Game
« on: November 04, 2005, 10:46:10 pm »
I just bought a Challenge crane game off ebay and i was wonderine if anyone new anything about them. The guy who I got it from did not know how to adjust the claw setting or the price. All I know about it is it has three buttons on for normal claw drop... one for slow claw drop and one for speedy claw drop. Hope you can find something out for me! :)

Here's a little Tip for you. If You want people to help you, post a picture of your crane game.
Don't make people work for it if you can post a pic for someone.

C'mon mag48, you've pushed your luck before complaining about people not being able to help you (after you had proved that you're not willing to do any of the work yourself). I gave you the benefit of the doubt before, but this is just so far out of line. Don't be an idiot -- it's not like you're paying anybody for their help -- you could at least be appreciative.


Cheers.

Apparently you don't either...

I'm curious why you buy these things when you don't know anything at all about them (the arcade game from an earlier thread and this thing).

I almost bought a crane game at a superauction recently.  Figured I'd keep my wallet, keys, sunglasses and heart medicine in there.
