    Despite the text of the ad, this is a rethemed Flintstones with a Doctor Who speaker panel...only $9999!
    washingtondc.craigslist.org link

    ***Due to the overwhelming response to my ad, I have altered my listing and raised my price. I believe that this is a fair practice because I was not aware of the significance of what I owned. A potential buyer visited my garage last night and provided me with additional details about this machine (thanks, Mike!) and let me know that I had a real gem and that it was a Bally prototype not put into general production. Please accept my apologies if I was unable to respond to 100% of all e-mails, but I received a large number and I was unable to keep up. A representative from the Smithsonian Institution suggested this may be a candidate for the National Pinball Museum due to its rarity, and I am exploring that option (to be honest, I had not heard about the museum but am really interested in visiting!). A lot of people have asked if they could come and play and take additional pictures, and I will try to accommodate such requests. This is very exciting for me!***

    Extremely rare Bally Fraggle Rock PIN from 1987. Bally was sold to Williams the next year. Own a part of pinball history, production of this machine was halted due to commercial license issues with the parent company. Low production run = very few of these have been made. I have never seen these come up for sale. No serial number on this one. This machine is from my personal collection. It's extremely clean, fully maintained, and 100% working. Just plug and play. Display crisp and bright with no missing lines.

    Notable Features: 5 flippers, 5-bank drop targets, a couple kick-out holes. No pop bumpers on this model. The multi-level playfield includes the "fraggle" area and "doozer" areas. There are also two playing modes: fraggle or doozer. Each play begins with 3-ball multi-ball.

    Yes it is. Didn't notice at a glance, but you can really see the fake if you look carefully at all.
    I can't believe that the CL ad is still up.

    Just got it home last night. I love it. One of the best 1987 DMD pinballs ever made. Anyone can come over a play it. I will trade it for a BBB if interested.
