Hi,

I have been searching everywhere with no luck finding this old puzzle that I believe was from the 70's. I was wondering if you would be able to help me locate it.

Description.... Plastic globe shaped game with red base and yellow interior on bottom. Top is clear plastic dome. The bottom has a popomatic popper thing (like a Trouble game). Inside there is a small numbered counter and 3 marbles red, blue, and green with matching golf tee looking stools. Object is to pop the appropriate marble to get it on the matching stool until all 3 marbles are on matching stools in the least number of pops without knocking any off the other colors.

If someone has the answer, please send me a private email. Thank you.

Well I am still up so for me it is still the 4th of July (even though the clock has gone well past 12:00).  It is so hard to believe you have been gone an entire 2 years - it still seems like only yesterday when we all were having a marathon chat while working in the shops.  We miss you, those calls - especially the ones when you were bored driving home and just wanted a friend to talk to. 
I spent some of today watching Mike turn what may be one of the last blanks you created - it is one we discussed and bounced ideas around about.  Your lovely wife found it, wrapped in gauze and had no idea what was inside .... but we were blessed to be able to take the journey of turning your work, this one last time.  There were times I couldn't watch, for the tears in my eyes and others because of the fear that gripped me should anything go wrong.  Yet it was so fitting that on this day, your creation should take on a life of its own.  Watching it evolve from what seems like a concrete cocoon into a beautiful "butterfly" brought back so many memories - and once again reminded us of the depth of the hole that is left in our world without you in it.

You are missed by so many, you were a friend to those who took the time to get to know you and you meant more in the lives of most than you could possibly have ever know.

hey where did everyone go.  I miss seeing the puzzles and pens that are new

I know I haven't been around in a while but I just couldn't help but noticing this one.  Your right we frequented there about every two weeks sometime only buying more blanks others buying nothing at all just to visit with the owners.  I did want to say you did a wonderful job on this you will have something to cherish for years to come.

Wow...

Thanks for sharing Hans 

I shared this over on the IAP but I thought it kinda belongs over here too. This was a blank given to me by Woodzone. A place in Columbia that Eagle liked to visit. He made some blanks for them to sell, I got another made out of wood, but this is the acrylic one. BTW the blank was only the cap part and I was able to match the acrylic with one they had in stock.

I apologize, in an effort to relieve the problem of a posting pic error of 'uploader full'...I accidentally deleted some pics, it certainly alleviated the issues but wiped out many more pics!

What happened to the pictures? They all seem to be removed.

Hi Dave, indeed I agree with Peter's solution...any other way will inevitably leave tell tale signs of a 'glue joint'...Happy Holidays!
