I'd play Centipede and sip an overpriced, flat 7-Up in a skinny glass, with the constant sound of pins crashing and the smell of smoke in the air.<br><br>Ahh yeah.

Regardless, I think there's a lot of nostalgia for these machines…some are even being converted to dispense other items, like art (http://www.artomat.org).

I remember buying smokes for my dad in one of these machines as a kid. It was always exciting to get the 2c or 3c that had been taped onto the pack of cigarettes because all packs were different prices but the analogue machine only accepted a single amount.<br><br>Nice find!
