Re: Canadian toycon today in Burlington
Just got back from it now - picked up a working boombox for $35 and a massive token collection for $10.

Jason- If you find a token or 2 that say "Outer Limits" or "Huron Amusements" can you set aside for me?

Sure thing - I've gone through the first bag so far, and they're almost all from the US (lots of weird names, some Aladdin's Castle). I'm hoping that the other bag (which looks better) may have more Canadian stuff....

Rats......I have neither of those (all the tokens are from American arcades).

Great idea. I'll do that shortly.
In the meantime, I actually polished up the boombox and wired up an old BlackBerry Bluetooth Stereo receiver into the input jacks on the back and hid it in the battery compartment. I paired my Android phone to it and now I can play all the 80s music on my phone remotely on the boombox (no need for a jukebox now..... ).
