    Picked up my first new clunky flippers Stern Elvis pinball and a Rock solid Williams Banzai Run !

    The Elvis was bought from the original owner. The build date on the machine is November 2004. Elvis has a shipping label inside the cabinet that says it was shipped from Automated Services on June 2007.

    I basically picked up a brand new Elvis that has very little play. So far I like it .

    The Banzai Run is a very different game and I will see if I like it or not .

    Damn can't seem to keep my collection small..

    Not a problem Jim, I would be willing to store and play up to 4 machines for you. I will be expecting your PM shortly. No but seriously congrats on the two new pins i always seem to have fun playing Banzai Run when I get the chance.

    Banzai Run with the vertical playfield is well liked by owners, I know of one dude who loves it so much he owns two of them. Now that's dedication! And congrats on Elvis, (thank you very much!!)

    Nice scores, Jim. never played the Elvis Pin but Banzi was arguably Lawlors most unique design. Congrats!

    You know I have to be honest the Elvis is a fully loaded game compared to what is coming out of the factory today .

    BR will not go anywhere soon .

    I agree. Wish I could come off the holiday period, after all the gift buying yada, yada, and buy two pins within 2 days

    lol..seriously though gl with the additions!

    They say a large collection compensates for a small something else... j/k

    Congrats - I picked up my Elvis two days ago. I am looking forward to setting it up. BR is a fun pin. How is the cabinet, most had a hard time that I have seen. Does it have the plastic trim between the two glasses? Hard to source. Enjoy, Chris made a nice one for me. Check out the photos on his site.

    Nice going Jim-Wheelin and Dealin--

    I have a HUO Elvis, and it's going nowhere. Not only has it been a favorite since it came out, mine belonged to a friend who passed away.

    I remember playing it in the Expo tournament the year it came out. My 2nd favorite SR game.

    #20 12 years ago

    Nice score on the Banzi Jim...sure is different with that vertical playfield but fun to play.

    Don't sweat it, you can always say "WTH else is there to do in Utah, cept own 20 pins"

    Congrats on getting 2 titles that are not seen in many collections. Actually, I just looked at your collection. Love it! So many out of the norm games. I would love to check out a group of machines like that. You have an awesome line-up!

    #24 12 years ago

    Yeah St George used to be a small town. I know a few people there that I met up at Kolob in about 1975.

    #25 12 years ago

    Every time I go to play Banzai Run at PHOF, it is always off!
    Nice score though Jim! (On the Banzai, NOT on the Elvis... )

    Now I am craving a "Chili Doughnut (Donut?)"... Thanks pal!

    #26 12 years ago

    Hmm chili donut? interesting
