Hi all,
After looking for a while I finally got my first Pinball Machine: 1984's Spy Hunter by Bally/Midway. This was a machine my wife was familar with and a fan of, so that made it an easy choice to start out with. Picked up from a guy in PA that did (in my opinion) a really nice job with it and despite a delay of a month or so where he battled some type of random scoring issue, it looks/sounds/feels great.
Don't have any questions, everything seems to be working as intended, just for show:
-
Nice pickup, I've played the game a couple of times, and it has a very unique feel to it, I like it.
-
I will freely admit that I have never been a "Pinball Guy". I wasn't very good, my quarters went quickly, so I would spend more time at the video games instead. My wife likes the MAME machine but pushed for the Pinball. Now that I have it it's a blast and we now have a couple fun items we won't see in most other houses.
We had talked about adding a second (older EM) machine which is in process, but now she is talking about adding a "new" machine as well (she is a LOTR nut and would love one of those) but the prices of those will likely keep them out of our reach unless I find something big to sell. ::)

Most people seem to dislike Spy Hunter, perhaps because of its asymmetry, but I think it's sweet, possibly because of its asymmetry...

Nice Pin. Collecting can get pretty addictive. I started with one and now have four....2 EM and 2 Digital. No room for any more (at the moment). :cheers:
