Now here is something you dont see everyday. This crane is watertight and comes with the filter system and chiller system to keep the lobster or crabs alive and happy unitl they are won and eaten. This is the same board and power supply as our older style cranes so we can still support repairs on this part. The chiller and filter system however I dont know much about so they are being sold as is . I turned the unit on and the compressor came and I heard the pumps making some noise so I can assume they are good. We used this for a couple of weeks and put little rubber ducks in it with a number on the bottom and when the player won a duck the number corresponded to a prize chart we had on the wall but of course the idea of the crane was to put Lobster in it

Overall condition is very very good and it has really low plays on it ( I think about 4000 coins or so ) .Comes with 2 keys also.



Being sold working on my floor righht now as/is per my description.



The machine is in Keansburg NJ 07734. Bring your own help to load OR North American Van Lines can deliver for about $450-$600 depending on how far from 07734 ( NJ ) you are ..

Very Cool based on the fact that it would be deemed a "politically incorrect" device in some circles.

Wow, this machine is even better than it's predecessor, the kitten crane. You could grab kittens with the claw and then it would drop them down into a chute where you could pull them out, smash their brains and then eat them.

We got one of those in a beach front restraunt here. I think it's like 5 or 10 bucks a pop but you get a full lobster dinner if you snag one.

People play it like crazy here. It's funny watching people spend 30 or 40 bucks to win a "free" 20$ meal.

Still better than trying to win a free choco taco:

Ahh Keansburg NJ ..My niece works down there on that boardwalk..I know that Arcade but I forget the name..

They have several closed up joints down there that house Arcade/Pinball Machines/parts for the Arcades that I'd love to be able to look through..

Who knows what hidden gems might lie down there.

Peeking through the gl;ass in one of the closed up places I could see all kinds of machines lined up either dead or not in usee..
they had a Beast Busters in one of the Arcades and It's not there anymore..

I know a few old pinball machines/Playboy.Mata Hari,Baseball are kept in one closed up place or connecting unit.. but I've yet to see where they bring it from.... they are actually brought into the Arcade and put on display when room is needed for other stuff..(the machines only light up)
I've seen one of the Arcade owners worker at Arcade auctions buying shit up..My uncle had did some business with his boss..

I thought about trying to pick up the Pinball Machines..but they've really seen better days..and I have no room..

I live in Chicago, there used to be a bar here that had one of those, this was probably 5-6 years ago. They were also popular in Boston, I saw a bunch where I was there probably 7 years ago or so. Haven't spotted one in ages, though.
