    Shooting Gallery

    I traded into this 1946 ABT Challenger shooting gallery at the local Gun show..You only get 10 shots for a penny..So it is even CA legal..

    I made a stand for it out of an old Treddle Sewing Machine base..The Grandkids love it..Though they fight over whose turn it is next...Kinda Firearm related, and I thought you might like to see it..

    Nice piece for display or indoor target practice.

    There's some you know you are old threads going on and your picture says it all.

    Shooting gallery check

    Turntable check

    Cassette player Check

    Stereo tuner in a wood case Check

    Where's the eight Track?

    Looks like my house in 1974 except I didn't have an indoor pistol game.

      Yes my Sansui Wood cased Turntable. and the Sansui 2000x wood Receiver are from around 1971..Cassette deck I am unsure..So are my Sansui Speakers..Love the old stuff from my younger days..Quality was quality then..

      And yes I do have an 8 track player and tapes in the basement,LOL Alot of people may not remeber them, but I had a 4 track way back..I need a reel to reel..That was sold long ago..Regret

      Thanks

          A penny for 10 shots... Wow, I can afford to shoot again!

          I've got some spare change, so the (shooting) bar is open!

          I don't know what you traded but I think it was a good deal.

          And the stand you picked for it matches it very well.

          I had to see how it worked so I found this video on YouTube...

            The Grandkids have done no better than three so far..I hit 5 as my best so far..I do not think they ever wanted you get all nine..As a lot of times these were made for winning a prize, or as a way to get around Gambling restrictions in a Bar or such..Thanks for sharing the video...

            When I finished modifying the Sewing Machine Stand..I painted it a Bronze color..Looks like it all belongs together and not some poor after thought..

              Wow! I remember using those...

                Because that vending machine has a pistol attached to it, I like to know the official California Penal Code
                Sections that allows said sale of same to be allowed without the mandatory training and background check.

                  That's cool OP. Reminds me of the area they use to have at Disneyland just past the old Country Bear Jamboree. It was a small arcade and had a bunch of games like that. I wish I had all of the games they had in there.
                  I will stand for truth even if I stand alone.

                    I also still have the Sansui stereo, turn table, & speakers I grew up with. Classic.

                    Nice shooting gallery.

                      Very cool

                      I had something similar as a kid and wanted to break it apart so I could shoot other things.

                      It did not make sense to me that the bullets only went a foot
                      Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

                      Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

                      Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

                      Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT
                      (thanks to Jeff Cooper)

                              Here's a video of the shooting gallery my family had, although I think it was in earlier version but worked the same "one magic (magnetically) shot at a time" way. ...
