Hi everyone, interesting situation I have gotten myself into...

Discussion in 'Introductions' started by Jason Mcfarland, Apr 27, 2022.

  1. Hello everyone, hope to be apart of this community. I have recently taken over an Opera House in South Pittsburg Tn that was build 140 years ago and has been a time capsule for the past 30 to 50 years. It was an actual operational opera house with seating for a couple hundred and since has been a catch all for about everything you can think of. The first floor has been used as a music store for the past 25 years. I admittingly do not know that much about antiques but to hope to learn about what all is here. We just had the National Cornbread Festival here this past weekend and had thousands walk thru our doors. It was quite the weekend here.

    Wow ! Contents came with I assume ? You may be sitting on quite a haul ! The arcade games alone (I havent seen that bowling one since I was a kid) might be worth a buck or two.

  5. Yes, I do not own it, just in charge of emptying it. Which is going to take a while. I find stuff hidden everyday.

    WE have 2 of those bowling games, 4 jukeboxes, 2 coin pushers, 1928 barber chair, old nehi cooler, over 100k records, the biggest astropop popcorn machine, and honestly too much other to name.

    Somebody is going to pay for the building or close to it. I think you have a job on your hands, and job security for a while!

    the EIKI film projector for 16 mm should sell as well.
    the Selec 100 Seeburg jukebox when in fine fettle and stereo ( some were modified from mono) should do fine as well although "experts" sneer at them sometimes.
