Dad’s old Clamshell Mutoscopes at Disney World, Florida

by on Jul.15, 2006, under Jim

Back in the late 70's, my dad who reconditioned old slot machines sold at least 4 of these Clamshell Mutoscopes to Disney for their new theme park in Florida.

However, Disney turned the old penny arcade into a modern video game arcade and removed all their penny machines, including the ones pictured above. Fast forward to 2006, I now live about 40 minutes from Disney World. While at the park a few weeks ago we where caught in one of Florida's daily rain storms. When I took cover in the newly remodeled train station's second floor, to my surprise, I came across my fathers old machines. I remember playing on these in our basement along with all the other old slot machines, steam shovel games and some very old pin ball machines.
