I really want a Safe Cracker machine, myself. There was a local restaurant in my small town growing up that had one and would reward you with a gold token every million points that could be redeemed for a large 1 topping pizza.

I ate so much pizza off just a few quarters. ๐Ÿ˜‹

A friend of mine just came to town and purchased this ticket machine a couple of weeks ago because "it was only $100."

He very excitedly texted me later to tell me it was full of tickets and tokens.

He'll add it to his multiple classic arcade cabinet, his two MAME cabinets, his sit-down driving cabinet and his large collection of classic consoles.

He also coded an NES game about 10 years ago for the fun of it. Even put it on a cartridge. Currently, he's working on a video pinball simulator in a pinball table format which will use rumble to simulate the feel of things like the ball hitting the flipper.

I have cool, weird friends. Some of them who have way too much disposable income.
