I own 5 machines soon to be 6 :cool:

Williams 79 Laser Ball (widebody) (may be trading it for a Stern Nine Ball)

Gottlieb 80 Star Race (rare widebody)

Bally 81 Elektra

Gottlieb/Premier 89 Bone Busters

Williams/Bally 96 Junkyard (This one is for sale actually as I cannot get it to work)

 

And I'm picking up a Gottlieb Time Line

 

I voted Yes too!

I have no idea. I bought it last October. It played fine when I went to test it. I got it home & my friend & I were looking through the test menus & it shut right down. We've not been able to get it going again. I just want what I paid for it in return. I'm sure someone that has electrical knowledge would have no problem getting it going. I think it's an electrical issue & I have no idea when it comes to that. I'm looking for $1975 for it which is cheap for this game. You rarely see one under $2K

BIG UPDATE!!...And I traded my Junkyard for 2 more machines! I now have a 1994 Bally Popeye & a 1993 Data East Tales From The Crypt. Both work fine. I also picked up 2 more machines at the Allentown Pinball show earlier this month. 1980 Bally Mystic & 1991 Bally Bugs Bunny's Birthday Ball. So I have pretty much doubled my collection over a weekend! My lineup is now: (in order of year released)

 

Williams 1979 Laser Ball (widebody)

Gottlieb 1980 Star Race (rare widebody)

Talk about Necroposting...

 

I now own three of these can do all the maintenance and are considering a fourth...

 

Big Guns

Riverboat Gambler

Red and Ted's Roadshow

 

All Williams (or Williams Bally)

 

 

 

Nice! Road Show is a great game. Have only put a little time into Big Guns myself, and I heard Riverboat Gambler is pretty fun. What fourth are you considering?

MODS -moderators

this can be moved to OT?

(I was orgiginally using it for buying advice- we had a chance at a Theatre of Magic @ 3000 ish in 2008.)

Something with Chimes- the old Bally have the best Chimes maybe Matai Hari?

For something completely different maybe Time Machine- but the chimes are only when you are 'winning'
