[Jukebox-list] [OT] Gambling pinball [was Re: Seeburg'spromise...]

Actually, the addaball is so different from a replay machine that converting
one to the other is not a simple operation. I bought a Gottlieb Central Park
with a Hurdy Gurdy extra lightbox thinking that I could convert it to
addaball, but no way. The Hurdy Gurdy was more similar to other addaballs
than to the replay Central Park. The appearance is the same, but the inner
workings are very different.

I had a Bally Carnival late 50's pinball, that had many unusual parts in it
- I took some pics and wrote an article on it for the pinball mag.
