Anyone tired of their Fireball yet?

Trade bait

That is one very clean looking board as well as the wiring in that pin.

Had an excellent game last night and rolled Fireball. My nephew witnessed it while he was playing El Dorado.

Not an easy feat!

Quoted from embryonjohn:

I don’t think there’s another game that’ll play so differently depending on the tilt of the playfield.

The 4MBC is touchy to angle as well.

Quoted from DanMarino:

You're funny Garrett. You'll get a Fireball eventually. How much are you willing to pay for one? Do you have room for it in your lineup?

You are right, one day I will have one Dan. And what pinhead couldn't find room for a Fireball?

I'll patiently wait for you to tire of yours. Next trip to see family in Maryland I'll stop by and pick it up

Although not a Fireball, if the deal goes through this Saturday may be getting another Zale table. Not a fan favorite but obscure for sure! Been knocking on wood, throwing salt, animal scarifices......you know.

That is one nice example for sure. It will look great next to my 4MBC and ----------

Quoted from embryonjohn:

Choosing yellow pop bumper skirts are way better than the original white.

I agree! Looks sharp and they are the right shade too.

Also becoming a fan of the clear skirts as they do not to hide artwork that is under them in some cases.

Very nice job on that playfield! Looks fantastic!

Any chance of a gameplay video?

Quoted from DanMarino:

I was playing some Fireball last night and it kicked my butt. My replay knocker is set to go off at 42,000 points or something like that. I kept having poor skill shot plunges and couldn't lock balls very well. It probably took me 6 or 7 games before I finally got the knocker to go off. I'm not really sure what was going on with me. haha

Well you are doing far better than I. My 4MBC is also set at 42k and the knocker almost never goes off, it's f'ing brutal.

Why is masochism so enticing? Yet I love it.

PBR has the proper nyliner for Bally shooter rods. Without it you get that inconsistent plunge and metal on metal feel.

Give Steve a call, he's the only guy that has them that I know of. Makes a world of difference.

Also saw where someone drilled out the hole to accept a normal Willima's shooter sleeve. Was in the Flip Flop falling from the sky thread.
