Nice! Label the pins with the names of your ten least favorite posters and revel in knocking them down. I mean, you can knock them (us?) down on here, too, but not with that nice klunking sound.

$400, needs some work to get it cranking, in this case you got to know a guy who works on these, very few guys left who do this stuff, but they are around. Problem is usually when you find stuff like this, they are either fixed up or someone thinks it is a special piece. You need the guy who wants it out of his basement or storage.

Very cool!

I was a master at FLASH but for some reason sucked at Strike_90.

Had one in the basement as a kid, loved it. The thing must have weighed 2500 pounds. It tool like 6 people to get it down the stairs. If you slide the puck hard from the lower left corner to the upper right corner you will be able to hustle your friends out of many shekels.

You're taking other people's basement trash as your own?

we had pinball machines in our basement as a kid. The things were broke more than they worked.

I would love a gaming device for my basement.

If its actually a main part of a house, I would rip anyone for it. If its in the deep basement and the rest of the house is modern, rehabbed and generally tasteful, the cheesy basement lends a certain touch that only 1970 can provide, plus its cheaper than ripping it out at this point.

We had one of these in the dining room of our bachelor pad from 2000-2002.

The ping pong table was in the basement.

I have bought and sold a couple of old slot machines over the past years. Wish I held the last one, prices shot up over the past 2 years.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but you need to invite Pappy to do your interior decorating.
