It is a cool pin! I like the rules and the royal flush w/ bonus opportunity.

Highly addictive pin!! It definitely has the "Just one more game" vibe going for it. I play this weekly at league without the wireform beneath the right flippers(definitely increases difficulty). Wish you were closer. GLWS

I watched the PAPA tutorial and it did not have the wire form either... I assume it came from factory with wire form and then just removed?

If you're finding it too easy and that's why you're selling it, pulling that bar should change things. Much more fun that way.

i dont' think that's suppose to be a wireform, but just a antibangback wire in the playfield. Don't think it is suppose to be up high enough to stop the ball from giving you the scissors.

Correct. It's a biff bar, not a ball guide...

It's a ball guide, meant to keep the ball from being lost between the flippers. Check out the player's view picture in the flyer.

Hmm..every example I've played (4 or 5 probably) either had it removed or pushed down like a biff bar! Well, to each their own of course! The flyer clearly shows it as a ball guide. I personally like it better when it's removed.

Yes it changes game play big time if you remove the guide, it is the only way to play it if you are setting it up for tournament play.

Well no that this is the most popular thread on pinside... I have a question.. check out the front and back of the backglass...Someone must have sealed it then put a painted translucent white??? If you see front of backglass you can see some white spiderwebs.... Whatever was done by someone else I think it turned out fantastic... alot better than backglasses with cracking that you can see light bulbs.. What does everyone think?

I paid $700 for mine with an absolutely perfect Playfield. Too bad the backglass is scratched up. Underrated game with very addictive gameplay. Someone will be getting a steal here.

You know how it goes. When your looking for one, you can't find one that's not priced over the ceiling. And when you want to sell one, no one wants to give you what the games worth. But i'm sure you got to play the heck out of it anyhow.
