Title: Name that arcade Game!!
Post by: dylaninwv on March 10, 2017, 01:08:25 pm

Need help.....I remember these prize machines in the arcades from the early 1970s. Basically it was a spinning turntable that was loaded with small prizes, wtahces, lighters, etc. You would hit a button, the turntable would stop spinning, and a parallel arm similar to a toner arm on a phonograph would push the prize towards an opening in the center.

What are these?

I remember those. I kicked ass at that game. Got all kinds of worthless prizes and sunk a lot of dollars into playing.
