I'm 33 and own a Model A. I don't drive it much right now, but used to
a few years ago.

Hey Alex, what would ya charge me to look at all three boards to see if
they work. I figure the first thing to do is find out if the boards
work or not.

Funny, my grandfather's 1915 model T touring is still in the family...he
bought it when he was 15. I'm only forty and planning on restoring it
someday....

Great find on the Omega Race! I used to love playing this game at the
local game room in Wadsworth, OH in the when I was in high school. I
always remembered the game, but never could remember the name of it
until I stumbled on KLOV....

Good luck on the resto...and keep us posted!.

And see, i would have to respectfully disagree. The amount of young
kids exposed to the classics like pacman might still leave a lasting
impression on them. more demand = more people looking for these
machines. Should be interesting to see though
