Title: Anyone heard of Chicago Coin ?
Post by: WiTcH-DoKtoR on March 20, 2003, 05:35:50 pm

Hey y'all,

This nice lady I work with was nice enough to give me this old machine she has in the back of her garage.  Of course I agreed to it before I actually knew what it was, hey it's free right ?  Anyways, she sent me pictures today of what it is.  Something Called Chicago Coin Horse Racing.  Anyone mind telling me what the heck it is ? ???

It looks exactly like the pictures here:

Chicago Coin made a lot of EM pinball machines and other electro mechanical and I believe even Solid State coinop Bowlers, gun games, other non video style arcade games.

I did a search against Rec.Games.Pinball and found some interesting info check it out here
