This open-sided Model 14 black and white photobooth is located in Sheffield's back room, full of pool tables but empty of people when I stopped by. The booth is sandwiched between a Golden Tee game and a Sopranos pinball machine. The photos have nicely rounded bottom corners, but the photos come over quite dark and muddy. UPDATE 9/18/12: Stefan reports that the booth at Sheffield's is now gone, removed during an expansion.
