It's right on the Freemont Street Experience in Downtown Vegas and it has tourist prices. Although it does carry new Hot Wheels stock for normal retail costs.Ed and Bettina Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14776907888776423702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-82898061828317919482016-08-26T09:19:59.279+01:002016-08-26T09:19:59.279+01:00Sounds fab Paul.

Found it in a youth club in a very sorry state (amp gone, glass broken) way back in the early 80s and over the years managed to get it fixed though still looking for the last 2-3 replacement parts. It needs hard vinyl mono records, because it'll rip the groove out of anything more modern given time. Which limits the choice of music somewhat, but it's a joy to watch it do its thing!<br /><br />Best -- PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-70494451328019613882016-08-25T22:21:25.926+01:002016-08-25T22:21:25.926+01:00Sound great Ed.
