KISS of life for pinball machine From: The Mercury News A PINBALL machine featuring a 1970s glam rock band is the centre of attention at an unusual sale today. The KISS pinball machine is the main attraction at a Hobart warehouse sale. The sale involves about 50 ancient video and parlour games, from the nostalgic Space Invaders to the exhilarating Burning Rubber video car race. The KISS pinball machine is expected to fetch between $8000 and $10,000. "It's a piece of history," Automatic Music Company assistant Andrew Boot said. Automatic Music supplies jukeboxes and parlour games to establishments around Hobart. But as time moves on many of the older games have lost their attraction. "They'd just be chucked in the warehouse to rot," Mr Boot said. But now the dated machines have become collectors items. Many collectors like nothing better than to have a table top Space Invaders game in the lounge room for amusement and as a talking point. "A lot of people have rumpus rooms and the pinball machines are perfectly suited to that," he said. The sale is on at Smith St in North Hobart with signs pointing to the warehouse. |
