I couldn't believe there wasn't a Banzai Run club before today, but each club starts sometime right? I got my BR over the summer. It was my 4th pinball machine and I hunted for this one. Though both the lower add upper playfields are pretty basic alone, when you add the two together you have one of the most unique pinball machines ever. With 3 lower and 3 upper flippers, 3 captive balls, and one of the most satisfying final shots (The Banzai Cliff jump) makes BR a pin that I keep coming back to. I also like getting the victory lap after you become king of the hill. What's some of your BR stories?

It's funny cause I never knew about this pin until I bought This Old Pinball #7 Banzai Wars DVD http://www.pinrepair.com/top/ because I wanted to learn more about system 11's. They did a full restoration of a Banzai Run on it. I was blown away with how cool it looked and that something like this was ever made.

The Silverball Pinball museum in NJ got one in this past month if anyone wants to play one on location. It was having some sound effect issues and for some reason someone put Demolition Man flipper handles on it. But other than that it's a really nice looking machine.

When I picked mine up I had a Honda CRV 2011. It was too tall folded up to fit in the hatch by about an inch or two. Ended up turning it on its side to get it to fit.

Oh that side art is awesome! Which company made it? Tilt? Pingraffix? And does it fit well?
The red trim looks great too. I did the same with my Super Mario Mushroom World and was happy with the "Pop" it makes.

Tell me which connector you need a better pic of and I can take a closer pic of it if this pic doesn’t help

A few years back I was looking for the same thing since BR was my only regular sized game that didn’t have side blade art. Ended up getting a roll of this checkered adhesive vinyl

Cheapest side blade art ever!
