Or Is That Salty Old Dog
Well
write Hugh and ask him, he says “getting old
isn’t for sissy’s”
Well Mr. Kown has a new Bingo Website and more
importantly he’s an engineer who’s devoted to restoring the games. Check
out this nice site, the quality of the pins speak for themselves and truly
show off his dedication and skill. This guy is good and more importantly he
knows how to use a digital camera :)
Great pics and little stories to go with the pins - I
love the group shots he currently has posted.
I’ve hinted to him to send me a good bingo
story……….While we wait here is the blurb off his front page:
As a kid growing up I played these
machines at two local drive-in restaurants. Both within walking distance
from where we lived. After retiring, I grew interested in finding one to
play and ended up buying three. After repairing the three, and reliving the
thrill I found playing these games as a kid, I sold one to buy more. I
currently have over twenty available and more on the way.
Here on this site you will find
pictures and details of the games in my collection as well as games for
sale. If you have questions about a game I have, need advice, or just want
to talk about bingos, please email me.
Hugh fixes and sells the machines and not only is very
knowledgeable, but one reason he can do such a nice job is he is very well
connected with the bingo pinball community and has the resource and backing
to pull off a class job.
He also has started a bingo forum, which is another
indication of his commitment and perhaps senility. Just kidding Hugh - I love
it, it’s aggressive as hell - I maybe the only one posting on it so far :)
Hugh is also very famous, especially for a guy just
getting going. He’s already made the Big Time
and has recently been interviewed for a magazine soon to be on the shelves
across the country – Here is a tidbit:
Getting A Bang Out Of Bingos
Go ahead and buy a bingo from him, but don’t play
poker – His idea of 4 aces is going to be pretty hard to beat:
