Part 5 Bohus and Shaun… Go Berserk
Bohus and Shaun set out across Illinois in search of vintage coin operated tech. Two old TVs from the 1950s and a rare, mechanical set of double pointed needles the “Vintage Tech Hunters” cleverly negotiated at a flea market in Chicago. If the loot is resold, the duo can make a profit of at least S1,000. In a private museum, Shaun and Bohus hope for more direct hits. They manage to charm their way into the Sanfilippo estate – a collection of rare turn-of-the-century tech – to buy some rare museum quality coin op machines. The first impression is absolutely overwhelming, because Jasper Sanfilippo has accumulated around 3400 exhibits on his 4000 square meter property. Some slot machines in the magnificent building are over a hundred years old. They also discover a treasure trove of 1980's arcade games in a small Illinois town.
