Have you been looking for a collector quality Fish Tales for your collection? Are you looking for a really nice machine for your home? Do you want a family-friendly theme for your kids? Then here's the machine for you! This game comes from my personal collection and was personally restored by me. This machine looks fantastic, is 100% functional, and plays fast!
