If we charged a $1 donation fee for each post, we could've funded this thing! We have doomed ourselves to being legless forever.
Anyone see this for sale ad by the OP? Almost no plays in the last two decades!!

Damn thing doesn't have legs either, but it does come with the patented cardboard cabinet protector.
We should start some kind of fund for neglected pinball machines that don't have legs.

I gotta admit that you may be right....I'm a little GIFed out myself. I had fun making them and am glad people enjoyed them. I promised myself I wouldn't go past 75 posts and here I am...post 87 lol.
And thanks to the OP for keeping this thread open... you've been a champ in that regards. (I'm being serious)

The guy is a carnival barking used car salesman at best.
Who the hell comes on Pinside with an ad and believes ooh, original coils is going to be a big selling point.
This guy thinks he can sell ice to Eskimo's when in reality he couldn't sell Gatorade to thirsty roofers on a 100 degree day.
I love the line, "If you are looking for an Eight Ball Champ... this is the one you want!"
My response, "How about, no." You do not know what I want as a buyer. I may be in the market for a high end restoration, or a project or parts machine. Saying that I want your machine, is not going to work on me at a subliminal level. I see this all the time on Ebay and it makes me laugh.
"You will love this!"
"You're kids will love this!"
"You need to add this one to you're collection!'
"This is the one for you!"
"Even though you are a Doofus, you too can solder!"
Come to think about it, I never saw that last one on Ebay.....
Quoted from The_Gorilla:Like a queef?
the simple beauty that Gorilla comes out of hibernantion for this post is amazing for any old timer!!!
LOFL!

Hmmm, did the op sell a Tommy two years ago to this chap?
I really wanted a data East....until I saw this post. I’ll never look at baywatch the same again.
Thanks OP!!!!
Quoted from chad:How much more sand can we cast on this?
the last one to post is a rotten egg.

Thanks OP!!!!
There a few much better Data East games.
2032. Officially signing off.
It was a great run.
First, I would like to thank all off the contributors .
I would also like to thank my parents............

...wait, you're not going to wait for this to drop another $1?
While I agree without the OP's help, this thread is on its way out. However, we are only 482 posts away from the final milestone: Passing the Baywatch Club's total post count. I think we'll get there. We're only a C/D letter, an asinine comment by the OP, or a price drop away from firing this back up.

Baywatch is made by Sega.
It is also an awesome game (despite this donkey FS ad)
I am blown away how much this thread influenced Pinside. All the avatar changes, near unanimous solidarity since the "game room pics" thread, alien heads all over the place, "imamaculate" used in nearly evey FS thread I see now.
This will pretty much be guaranteed to get Pinside's thread of the year. Right up there with a signed DE SW translite and the journey to get a STTNG machine from a hellhole in Louisiana.
Quoted from NPO:the journey to get a STTNG machine from a hellhole in Louisiana.
This sounds interesting!! Got a link??

This FS thread started a lot. Collectible dirt, 600 plays in 12 years, no legs, Imamaculate, alien heads, and it has the potential to keep going if the OP decides to chime in again. This thread has GOT to be the thread of the year, easily.

This was a great story. It might have been the first thing I ever read on Pinside.
It’s funny when OP was defending how it clearly needs work, he was selling that as a positive thing so that the new owner could bond with the pin and most people like to bring a pin back to good shape. Um no, that’s why people pay exorbitant prices for truly immaculate pins.
Also how having whatever number of plays in 12 years, how does that have any bearing on the price of the pin?
Let’s suppose a pin had 0 plays in the last 12 years but was otherwise identical to this pin, wouldn’t that be worth even more??

Sega took over DE in 1994, and the boardset is known as DE/Sega - Essentially the same company. Tech-wise, the repair pages lump SEGA and DE together as well. Even though my 94 Maverick is"officially" billed as Data East, it is a crossover game. There is no official logo on the Maverick for either DE or SEGA, the SEGA logo comes up on the DMD splash, and the DE logo is on the shooter rod handle.
So, yeah, I'll give you the SEGA logo on the Baywatch - under the hood its both SEGA and DE.

This was the single greatest post in pinside history. It is the pinnacle of pinball Craigslist hunting horror and sometimes I just go back to reread it to keep myself humble lol.
Quoted from AFM95:Pinside is the equivalent to the Minnesota Vikings ravenous defense. The OP is as arrogant as Aaron Rodgers. This is what happens when the two meet, especially when the Vikings, excuse me, Pinside has home field advantage.
No, OP is like the the Vikings and Pinside is like the Eagles, who beat them up one side and down the other.

Touche'. I like to pretend the Saints victory was our last game of the year. We forgot to show up in Philly.
For non-sports guys, this can also be considered an imamaculate reception.

It’s Long but hilarious! I agree,probably the best post I’ve read on here ln the last 6 years.
Quoted from mrm_4:I seriously want to quit looking at this thread but I cant........

I just upvoted a brokeback mountain jpg...This thread is crazy, I don't even know who i am anymore.
