Question I am looking for a few types of machines. I am new to collecting machines and want to start out with a few that I have always wanted. #1 is a baseball machine that accepts either nickels dimes or quarters...you press a button for it to pitch a ball then move a joystick like piece of metal to swing the bat and the ball goes in a hole to determine what base your runner is on. A certain number of runs wins a prize. #2 is a chicken machine that clucks and vends plastic eggs for a quarter. There is also a flinstone machine that does the same. # 3 is a fortune teller machine that you put a quarter in and it tells you a fortune. If you have any knowledge of anywhere I could find any of these machines please let me know! Thanks,
Matt Davis

Start watching e-bay and check dealers like the Pa Gameroom Warehouse
