Americoin Junkyard Arcade Crane Game

This is a video of a restored 1976/7 Americoin Junkyard Arcade Crane Game. The cabinet has been repainted to original colors (Old Caterpillar yellow) and re-stenciled. The front door art has been reproduced to original condition. This is a challenging yet fun game for all ages. There is much to practice if you want to be good at this game. You must have superior coordination to maneuver the crane up and down, left and right, forwards and backwards in the goal of depositing 'junk' cars in the hopper for points (tons). Timely hits into a hopper that is lit will stop the clock for a chance at higher scoring. Enjoy the video!

@aaronhipps It was a friend's and he put it on ebay.  It went for around 1200.

Hey Tom. We run a scrap metal yard and have been trying to find one of these machines. Is yours for sale or do you know where to source these machines? Thank you!

The machine was not mine but a friend's. Not sure if he would like to sell it but can ask. I have only ever seen one other machine in our local area but it was really really beat up. Where are you located? I am in the Los Angeles area. Shipping would be pricey since this game weighs a considerable amount.
