In 2005 I visited my good friend Hugh Kown (Oldbinger). Staying at his place we discoverd a Dude Ranch for sale on E-Bay in North Carolina. Hugh bought the bingo for me, but when we collected the Dude Ranch, the bingo was laying around as a jig saw puzzle at the sellers place. We put everything in Oldbinger's pick-up and drove back to his place in Georgia. I dismantled the bingo in pieces and took many pieces, the wiring and the playfield as handluggage with me in the plane to Amsterdam
