zizzle toy pinball machines
CheffoJeffo:
OK, I've emailed them asking what the price is and if they know of any units on location here in Toronto. We'll see what they say.
Cheers.
ChadTower:
Cool. I'd love to actually see one of those things.

I emailed a US dist. about the TAB machine about 2 months ago. It was available, and was $7000.00. I haven't played one, but I have played the Ultrapin a lot--a dealer about 10 mins from my house sells them. I even went to the open house they had last week and met a Global VR rep. I will admit, it was WAY better than I expected. The nudge and push electronics work really well, and after you are playing for a few minutes, you forget it is a video game (at least I did). Medival Madness and F14 are especially impressive. To be honest, if it drops to below 5k, I will probably buy one (Tax Refund For The Win!).
Chris:
I played the Pirates machine at Best Buy today. I was not impressed. Sound samples are extremely repetetive, flippers and solenoids are way too weak, and I was pretty bored with it after 5 minutes. I'm not comparing this to a "real" pinball, but to the "toy" pinballs that Sears (I think) used to sell when I was young. Those were much simpler games, but the action at least felt like pinball; on these, the action is about the same as the $75 toy pinballs that were out last year.

I have yet to see the inside of this machine up close. Anyone have any pix of the underside of the playfield? Are they using Stern assemblies or Williams assemblies? What brand and part number are the coils, especially on the flippers?
