Anyone have a pinball machine?
I just bought a 1981 Gottlieb Black Hole. One private owner since 1986.
Playing condition but with some cosmetic issues. I'm amazed by the great parts availability and online support there is for such an old machine. I should have it looking and playing like new fairly quickly as a result. Anyone else? |

Not yet, YET being the focal word!!
When I build my dream house, 800 living sqft with 30-car garage, the garage building will have an arcade area, with pinball, bowling alley and pool tables, maybe skee ball. |

A one-owner Gottlieb, how much did that score set you back?

I played A LOT of pinball in my youth, and into my thirties.
I was pretty damn good, as could play for 1+ hour on a few quarters. It pissed me off when almost all games went to three total ball play. When out and I see a pinball machine, I try to play, as is great entertainment. The only problem is where to place your bottle of beer,,, |

No pinball, but we had a Tempest game for a number of years; we became the best Tempest players in the world I’m convinced. It finally stopped working and rather than get it fixed I sent it to landfill when we moved. Totally regret it now.

I'd really like to get the Corvette pinball machine someday. 1994 Williams IIRC.

No way. I'd kick your ass. That was far and away my favorite game. I don't know what it was about that particular game but I had it sorted out in short order. There wasn't a bar in town that didn't have my name in the high score spot.

Tempest was certainly in my top 5 favorite games along with Defender, Star Castle, Galaga etc. Kids have been busy tearing up the new air hockey table as well.

Edit: I see they have fully restored ones for $6500. That's a deal, especially if it's been upgraded with modern bumpers and tech. Scott

My dad had a very old Williams machine, my guess it was built mid 50s or earlier. The deck was wood and we wore grooves in it playing so much. Many of the functions didn't work all the time.

Tempest was on of the greatest games of the 80s. I wasn't great but burned a lot of quarters.
