OK, here we go with the prelim absolutes for our corner bar.
1) a red ball machine, these had 5 red rubber balls in an enclosed machine with a square of 25 holes. The cost was 10 cents per play and the object was to get 3,4 or 5 balls in a row or diagonal or 4 corners. The payoff was 100 credits for 4 corners, 5 in a row etc declining with 4 or 3 in a row. Of course these were for amusement only...unless you went to the bartender and he would reset the machine and pay you a dime a credit.
2) smoke stained brown originally white acoustical ceiling tiles.
3) a bartender that drinks so you can buy him drinks and by closing time he is buying you 2 for every one you buy him.
4) a black and white 13" tv in the corner that has assorted junk hanging off the bent rabbit ears
5) a leather dice cup with chipped die so that you can shake for the music and other assorted endeavors.
6) a sign on the bar that says 'Tuesday night is mother's night, all women wishing to become mothers please attend'
7) a cash mechanical cash register that hasn't had detail or receipt paper in it for years and the drawer is always open so that the bartender doesn't have to waste time closing it...or ringing up all the sales.
