Not so many years ago, kids would huddle in milk bars around Australia to play the latest wiz-bang pinball machine, or put some coins in a jukebox for a song. One of the men who cared for and fixed the machines was Hobart man Erwin Boot. The 71-year-old is now retiring and putting his prized jukeboxes and pinball machines up for sale. They make up one of Australia's biggest collections. More in this week's report from Hobart with our stringer, Sotiris Kalogeropoulos, who talks to Themi Kallos.
