WEBSITE UPDATED 5/21/2013
MAJOR CHANGE IN OPERATION THIS SUMMER!!!!
Always in the past, since the purchase of Hank's Sunoco in 2007 we have closed for the summer months due to the lack of AIR CONDITIONING but now that we are completely A/C ready we have decided to stay open this summer!!!!! We will still be open our regular hours and may even open up on weekday nights for game play and parties. We will decide that later as right now there is no demand for that to be so.
Please note our regular hours are 9-5 Saturday and noon to 5 Sunday. If however business drops off, instead of continuing to grow as it has in this 2013 season, we will then be forced to close up for the summer.
Soon we will be adding another room for all the old electro-mechanical games you played as a child either at your local lake or amusement park. The old pop pop, shoot-um-up rifle games are here. Race around the track (you can see the steel rod holding the race car) which I believe was the original NASCAR TRAINER game, SPEEDWAY, is here. The old look through the periscope, shoot the ships (I never saw a ship flip around and go backwards), SEA RAIDER is here as well as many more.
Again, please stop by and check out "Flashback" for a "Nickel Tour". A surprise to everyone is that this old gas station has central air conditioning, wall to wall carpeting, and more classic arcade games and pinball machines than any other business in northeast ohio. Oh by the way "yes I do have a flying saucer and no, I do not give rides" -Tom

Welcome to Tom Manely's (pronounced Muh-Knee-Lee) Flashback Classic Coin Ops, founded 2001. Pictured to the right is Hank's Sunoco Gas Station circa 1952.
Hank's Sunoco (purchased in 2006) is now "FLASHBACK CLASSIC ARCADE PARTY STATION".
FUTURE PLANS: Restore the gas station to it's best days which of course to all us "Boomers" would have to be 1964-1968.

FRONT LOBBY: The 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's record albums, on the walls, bring back some memories of "the day" . Checkerboard tiles and a classic Seeburg jukebox (I've moved it next to the pop machine) help get you going on your "FLASHBACK". When you rent the whole facility , 20 to 40 people, we allow you to bring your own pizza, have cake and ice cream, or something simple to eat such as snacks, at no charge. Buy pop out of our "Rockola" pop machine, 50 cents a can, or bring your own water or pop (NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES PLEASE) then set in our lobby remembering your favorite record album covers on the walls. We had a singles party for 50s & 60s a while back and they complained about "sore necks"

FLYING SAUCER PINBALL ROOM :(wait till you see what we are planning for the saucer to do) The first bay that was a lift bay is now our "flying saucer pinball room." The pinball machines include Hercules, Capt Fantastic, Space Invaders, Volcano, Trident, Mata Hari, Super Sonic, Eight Ball Champ, Hyper-ball, Super Soccer, Dragon, a 1962 "Flipper Clown", etc. a total of 13 machines to play. Our "Hercules" pinball is the world's largest which is 4' wide, 8' long, 7 and 1/2 feet tall and uses a cue ball as the pinball.
The "flying saucer" which came from a comic book shop in Kent Ohio called "Watch the Skies" is looming over all the machines. Ask me about "SKULLY" sometime! (hint: old amusement parks, yes we have plans for him too).

DISCO ARCADE ROOM: The next two bays are now one big room which has a pool table in the middle. The perimeter of the room has classic arcade games such as Pac Man, Centipede, Donkey Kong Jr. Asteroids, Space Invaders, Frogger, a Puck Bowler, Ice Cold Beer, Zaxxon, Gorf, Galaga, Centipede, GI Joe, Roadblaster, Aero Fighters and a Ball Bowler Etc. The room wouldn't be complete with out a "Skeeball" which we have. The jukebox (of course it has 45 rpm records in it) gives you a chance to listen to your favorite oldies. Yes, we do have disco balls (4) and the "hustle" is indeed on the jukebox. Question: How many grooves are on a 45?
