Everyone (mostly haters) keep listing the price for "The Beatles" pin as 8K. I know it is a minor issue but I would assume with a little checking around the pin can be had for around $7,650 (maybe $7,600). In early December I paid $7,700 for my Gold (because I was a repeat customer). I love it. I especially like that the playfield is not cluttered up with all the bells and whistles and ramps that usually appear on pins. You haters can bitch about the price until the cows come home but I have not read one post from an owner that regrets buying it. Not one!

Looks great! As an owner of a "Gold" could I ask you how this thing is hooked up to the pin.

While you are waiting on this decision you might consider "The Beatles Pinball Plastic Protectors" from Mezel Mods. I put them on my Gold today and they look really good. I don't know if you have used these items before but (in addition to protection) they put out a nice "glow" to that area of the playfield. In my opinion well worth the money ($27.00).
