I got one. Have had it for about 20 yrs. Same rub mark on the BG and typical fade of cabinet paint. Lots of scratches on CAB too. One of my slingshot plastics is chipped. PF in decent shape as is rest of BG. In my permanent collection. Great looking game but just average player. Kinda boring after a while. Wish it had chimes. I know of another collector who has 2 of them in storage in South Dakota/Minnesota, but he lives in So Cal now.

I'll try to post some pics later after the niner game

Please note that the spinners are not original, I replaced them with spinners from a WMS Flash.
Very appropriate, I think.
At one point in time I had BLY Voltan and WMS Flash and Stern Lightning
all lined up in a row in my garage back in Bakersfield.

More info on my game history. (Ser#: 1176)
I got it from Gene Lewin (an operator) in LA/Orange county in late 90s
Bought it along with a Fireball II, for about $1800 (including taxes) for the pair.

Gene is also a pretty darn good pinball player.
I remember many of time, we would be bidding against each other
at some of those monthly Orange County Super Auctions in the late 90s,
back when they would have 100+ pinball machines up for auction and
one could get a Addams Family or Twilight Zone for <$3K and a Banzai Run for about $800

At the time, that was quite a lot of dough, was not a bargain by any means,
But I was determined to obtain every D. Christensen game,
and I knew Voltan was not likely to come across my path again.

Quoted from Ballypalooza:

Waaaaay better!! I think the original is the same one from Eight Ball. It needs a custom spinner to match the theme definitely. Nice

That is why i ended up using spinners from a WMS Flash parts game.

I did end up obtaining all the D.Christensen games including Future Spa
(along with a NOS Future Spa Playfield and Both the EM & SS models of Mata Hari) .
Actually the only game of D.C.'s that i did not get was the Fireball Home model, I just settled for getting the home model Backglass.
