I’m Bart Simpson, Who the Hell are You?
Pinball, Signs & Decorations, The Simpsons January 17th, 2011Hey there! I got lucky Sunday night (no, not like that). I got a great deal on a somewhat rare item on Craigslist:
I’m not referring to the cat. He’s not that rare, there are loads of them all over town. I put the cat there for scale.
This Bart Simpson figure was part of a movie advertisement in select theaters, sometime in 2007 for the Simpsons Movie. From what I’ve read, they sent these to 1500 theaters across the country. Here is how he looked with the rest of the Simpsons:

I got him for a steal at $25! Seeing as our arcade is Noiseland Arcade, I figured we had to get him. Here is some good looking guy sitting next to him on our couch upstairs:
I have so little room in the arcade now, and had a hard time finding a good spot for him. We decided for now that he is best suited on top of our Simpsons Pinball Party machine:
I have been having some good luck with Craigslist lately. I’m hoping to pick up something else very cool tomorrow but I want mention what it is yet. I don’t want to jinx it!

Hi, I was hoping you might be able to help me. I’m interested in adding a credit button to my Clean Sweep Crane. It has no dip switch setting for free, which why would it, but I’d like to get out of the hassle of feeding quarters in to operate it. Do you happen to know where I might find some instructions on adding the credit button? I really appreciate your help! Thank you!

Hi Shannon,
On most cranes, there is a drop button to drop the claw. Mine didn’t have one, but could support one so I added that button. If you have a drop button, you should be able to run a wire from the wire going to the coin switch (not the ground, the other wire), up to the button so when you press the button it adds a credit. I can whack the button on mine pretty quickly and add a lot of credits.
