The idea behind this web site is really Norm's. He has been bothering me that he wants to see pictures of old arcades, and there's nothing much on the web. So he gave me the book, Coin-Ops On Location, 1993 by R.Bueschel and E.Hatchell. Many cool pictures (some below), but we need to replace those with our own. But I guess this gets us started until people email us some pictures. Arcade pictures from any era needed, color or black & white, even new arcade pictures.

	South Carolina's Surfside Pavilion amusement park arcade with many 1957 Williams Deluxe 57 Baseball pitch and bat games. The arcade was torn down and replaced with a hotel. The Surfside Pier remains next to where the Surfside Pavilion used to be, but it has a much smaller arcade. Note the games have no legs as they are mounted on a bench pedestal, all have reissue backglasses (no "Williams"), all were repainted, and the high score, home run and grand slam score reels blacked out. These games were all later sold at auction around 2001.
	South Carolina's Surfside Pavilion amusement park arcade (or maybe the Surfside Pier arcade) again, but with a row of 1962 Williams World Series Baseball pitch and bat games. Note all the games have no legs as they are mounted on a bench pedestal, all have reissue backglasses (no "Williams"), all were repainted, and all have the high score reels blacked out.
	SS Billiards, south of downtown Hopkins Minnesota, in 1973 (this arcade opened in 1972). Pinballs include Gottlieb's King Rock, Four Square, Grand Slam, Flying Carpet, Pro Football, Williams' Super Star, Pong (video game), Gottlieb's 2001 and Jungle.
	A Library of Congress picture, year and location unknown (probably 1940s as the pinball is a non-flipper model).

	Though not an old picture and it's not an arcade, still pretty impressive! This is D.Murphy's Gottlieb single player flipper collection, in chronological order, from 1947 (Humpty Dumpty) to 1965 (Cowpoke). That's 45 machines!

	This is "The World's Oldest Penny Arcade" (business) in the country. It has 11 penny games, about 12 nickel games, and 17 dime games. The rest are on quarter play. The arcade is located at Spring Lake Beach in Burrillville, RI. It has continuously been a penny arcade (defined today as the ability to spend pennies) since around 1929. Many of the machines have been here since new.
	More of the arcade at Spring Lake Beach in Burrillville, RI. To keep history alive, an agreement has been worked out with the town to dedicate 1/2 the floor space to period machines with examples from every decade, 1920's through 1980's. The most played game in the arcade is an Exhibit Merchantman Crane filled with candy and operating on 10 cents.
	More of the arcade at Spring Lake Beach in Burrillville, RI. Pictures taken in 2002.
	Spring Lake Arcade in 1948. Left is a Chester Pollard Play the Derby, back are Mutoscopes, and right (hard to see) is a 1937 Rockola World Series and a CCM Pistol gun game. Behind the Mutoscopes in the back looks like an Evans 10 strike (again hard to see). Thanks to John Bateman.
