The Landi Family

I've created a new gallery via the online service called Flickr.  This will eventualy replace the bloated, slow and old Gallery we currently use.

There is also a link just above the old Gallery link, on the right side of the main page.

I Originally shot at 1080i, but I reduced it down to 1280×720 H.264 to reduce the file size. Shot using a Sony HDR-HC1 camcorder

Back in the late 70's, my dad who reconditioned old slot machines sold at least 4 of these Clamshell Mutoscopes to Disney for their new theme park in Florida.

However, Disney turned the old penny arcade into a modern video game arcade and removed all their penny machines, including the ones pictured above. Fast forward to 2006, I now live about 40 minutes from Disney World. While at the park a few weeks ago we where caught in one of Florida's daily rain storms. When I took cover in the newly remodeled train station's second floor, to my surprise, I came across my fathers old machines. I remember playing on these in our basement along with all the other old slot machines, steam shovel games and some very old pin ball machines.
