If you have been looking for an Eight Ball Champ... this is the one you want!

Low production of only 1500

Clean! Low plays. Original board set. No smoking home. All switches working. Plays perfectly. Perfect back glass. Fantastic playfield and plastics. Clearly this girl got very little play. Still has its original Bally coils, get this it has Bally flipper coils and they are still strong... amazing!

The photos say more than I ever could. I just picked this gem up and have not even touched it. Expect it to look even better after you properly clean and waxed her.

What needs done:
She has no battery acid leakage but that battery obviously needs to be removed and replaced. And although fully functional, if I were keeping her I would replace all caps since the original caps from this era are all past their prime. Then I would imagine a scan of the board pins and possibly a solder reflow here or there.

The only negative I see was a loss of decal / paint on one corner (which is mostly hidden by where that leg attaches). only very very minimum playfield wear as seen in the pics.

Saw almost no play in the past two decades (in the same VERY nice home for the past 20+ years)

No one does a pinball walk through like Todd Tuckey so here is him going over a Eight Ball Champ :

Quoted from pinmike:

Oh WOW!!! Did you say very rare?? But,If it is in perfect shape why does it need no caps??
[comment removed]

Pinmike, welcome back to the thread... Did you enjoy your time away after the moderators threw you out of this thread and removed your comment? Try to be a good boy this time and follow the pinside rules and maybe you will not be publicly humiliated again.

And congratulation, of 9 comments so far on this thread over half of them are yours! You are winning! GO MIKE GO!!!!

Quoted from pinmike:

Always mentioned in your ads "Non smoking"Home..How do we know if maybe uncle bill came to that home and played the game while he smoked 7 packs of smokes

And here we go..."Always mentioned in your ads"

See Mike, you gave up the game here. Your comments on this thread have zero to do with this 8BC game. Your referral to "ads" just confirm for some reason you do not like me so you waste your time, and everyone else stalking my ads so you can leave smart a** comments.

Pinside is not about that. We are suppose to be a community of fellow pinball enthusitists. It is about the games. Not some hate for each other. But you enjoy stalking my games sales ads, every time you leave a comment on one you bump it to the top. So thanks at least for that.

Probably as few as the Baywatch... so I would guess 600-700

Quoted from Banker:

How did the cabinet get destroyed ?

I think a large wrecking ball hit it. May have been a train. I am not for certain.

#31 5 years ago

Since I respect the Pinside price patrol so much. So I am going lower my price to the pinside recommend sales price of $1290 for this 8BC... no make that $1289.

There you go folks... The pinside estimated values of $1289 for an excellent example of this pin!
