Laundromats...the final frontier?
JeepMonkey:
How did you like the single screen PlayChoice compared to the dual screen? I am looking to buy a PlayChoice, and I am watching one on ebay. It is a single screen.

Surprisingly it wasn't that different. The timer was a seperate red LCD panel behind the tinted glass. When you pressed "channel select" it jumped to the green screen showing all the games in their slots. Once you selected one it went to the instruction screen for that game. You held down the "channel enter" (or whatever it's called) for two seconds to go to the game itself. From there it continued as usual until the timer ran out and then it went back to the green screen to ask if you want to continue. Just like the two screen you could change games at any time.
I was driving by the first place again today so I stopped and snapped a few pics. Most turned out badly, but you can see the crane machine that amuses me so much. In one of the other pics you can see where Cruis'n World is plugged in...right above the toddler's head. The MKII has developed a vertical hold issue since the other day.
I also got a pic of the toys in the crane as they are just so crappy. They need a cage to stop someone from stealing a stuffed carton of milk? I'ts the face-down blue-and-white one on the right. The stuffed hen might also be worthy of vandalism. :)

holy cow....
If I walked in my laundromat and saw a machine caged up like that I'd get the hell out of there. If people are robbing a crane machine - they'd probably kill me for my underwear (it really is nice underwear).

That's what I thought when, shortly after graduating college and moving out of a college town, I was on travel for work and decided to save the company some money by not having the hotel wash my clothes. Found the local laundromat - let's just say that I was paying $3 per pair of underwear for my laundry after that. A woman at the laundromat actually was yelling at and hitting her child right in front of me because he had gone next door and gotten the large slurpee instead of the small that she said he could get.
