The following letter was sent to us from Russ Jensen and we
thought our readers may find it of interest.
Dear Russ:
I read with interest your column in 'For Amusement Only*. I
am a "small" collector of amusement machines, having two
Captain Fantastics (one without back glass) a "super jumbo", a
Super treble chance and Carnival Queen, all Bally machines.
These have been restored from various states of disrepair, the
Carnival Queen not yet being completed.
I would be interested in being put in touch with collectors who
specialize in these type of machines, i.e. Bally non-flipper
perhaps the Daine Smallwood of Washington mentioned in your
article.
I am seeking an instruction manual for the super jumbo and a
schematic and manual for the Super Treble chance. The latter is
