Orbitor 1
Stern Electronics, 1982I am trying to use the pinside.com search feature to see where there is any Orbiter 1 machine [ http://pinside.com/pinball/archive/?s=1&keyword=orbiter ]. I know there is supposed to be one at PAPA [ http://pinside.com/pinball/map/where-to-play/papa-world-headquarters-2512-carnegie-pa-united-states ].
Here is a video of the machine being played at PAPA:
I can't think of any other machine I'd rather find to play.
there was one at allentown this year...
it is "interesting", that's for sure... i played it several times, and couldn't figure out how to control the ball... seemed to have a mind of its own...
Your location is unknown.
You can't find what you're looking for and no one will be able to find you if they have a O1 for you to play.
Why are you making things hard for yourself? 
Quoted from Marc:I know where mine is...In north Texas.
I know where mine is too......in my basement.
Maybe if the OP removes the anonymity of his location, he might be able to find someone local or near to where he lives.
The one at the Allentown show was mine. if you are ever in my area, you are welcome to come play it.
it is for sale. 
Quoted from Magic_Mike:Your location is unknown.

Yeah, what he said.

thanks for bringing it... like i said, i played it several times... i just couldn't figure it out... 
it wasn't the machine's fault i'm incompetent though...

Thanks guys. This is one I might have to make a trip for!
Quoted from ccotenj:i played it several times, and couldn't figure out how to control the ball... seemed to have a mind of its own...
I played one at the the 2013 TPF and felt the same way.

That is the draw of the game, it is something different. Once you have a handful of games under your belt you will get the hang of it.
Quoted from zippypinhead:I am trying to use the pinside.com search feature
Oh damn, another Zippy, think there are three of us now.
I know where there are three locked up in a building. Price is too high to get them out and owner is a tough one to deal with.

i literally lol'd when i saw that pic... 
Quoted from Marc:That is the draw of the game, it is something different. Once you have a handful of games under your belt you will get the hang of it.
yea, it is different, and it definitely drew me in... as noted, i played it several times... i just couldn't figure out how to make it do what i wanted it to do, vs. what it wanted to do...
if one ever came up cheap around here, i'd be tempted to buy it just for the challenge of learning how to control it... i think in a reasonably sized collection it would be a nice addition...
Quoted from Marc:I know where mine is...In north Texas.
I know where yours will be Nov 8th and 9th.
