Question
Hi Rodger: I have this pinball game. It is called aPOOSH-M-UP BIG 5. It measures 23" X 13". It has a patten # of 1925018. Made by Northwestern Products Co.. It is in good condition. What could I ask for it?

Answer
Hi Steve,

I knew I was in trouble as soon as I seen the name, then I seen the manufacture and I wanted to run away! Is this a real early game like maybe a pin table or Bagatelle? As it is not listed in my main pinball reference material. Can you e-mail a photo of it? If so, my e-mail is: Jackpot7@q.com and in the meantime I'll be looking for it.
Thank You

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
