Quoted from vid1900:I buy it if it was closer.
Is this sarcasm?
It might help if you said "Bazinga!" after, you know.....
Quoted from tamoore:Is this sarcasm?
No, I'd buy it if I saw it that cheap.
We are talking about one of the most feared pinball machines of all time.
Designed by John Trudeau and Steve Kordek (I believe his last game before he died) art by Paul Faris (the guy who did Xenon and Centaur ).
Williams parts for easy servicing.
EVERYBODY has a TZ or a TAF....Who has the balls to own a VA?
Quoted from navajas:Gun to your head. Must keep for a year, play ten times a day.
A) Vacation America for $500
B) The Pin for $3307.35
Pull the trigger
when I saw the thread title I thought a HUO "The Pin" was on CL 
That VA is strange - check out under the playfield...
i would think it would greatly reduce your per unit cost too. The labor on looming those wires is pretty intense.
Quoted from Buck:That's an interesting concept, using PCB's almost exclusively under the playfield. Anybody have thoughts if this could have caught on? Sure looks to save on wiring.
The Bally home-use Fireball (and I assume the others) were the same thing... larger PCB's with the switches & lamps all pre-installed. And the coils were all quick connect lug wires too.

Stern has one of these in the DEV area of the factory. They are trying to emulate this themselves. The idea i was told was to run with as few of wires as possible. Last time i saw it it was next to acdc le/prem whitewood machine.
Quoted from Gamblinfool:I'm new here... Why is this a bad machine?
I haven't played one, but apparently the game play is awful.
don't buy without playing, you'd be disappointed unless you don't know what a real machine plays like
