When I was a kid, I use to sit in these cartoon booths (which looked just like photo booths only slightly bigger) and watch Woody Woodpecker and Heckle & Jeckle cartoons for a quarter. It’s been so long ago that I forgot all about them until a couple of years ago. I’m trying to find a picture of one or even one for sale… which would be cool… CAN YOU HELP ME?

Well, [here’s](http://www.arcadez.com/) one, but it is sold.

I suggest trawling the web for ‘arcade machines’.

Yeah, they used to exist, but the 'toons they showed _really_ stunk.

Small loss.
