There arent many of us who own this game, even with there being 2100 units out there. Lets share pics, experiences, and stories about our machines. Super Orbit is a simple, but fast and fun game. Guests love the game play, being easy to understand, but still challenging.

My story: This was my first machine ever. It was a gift from a family member when I was probably around 7 or 8? It sat in my parents basement for years, being abused by my friends and I who didnt know any better. When we moved, my mom put the head down and put a towel over it. It became a cat feeder. Right then I knew I needed to get the game outta there! Long story short, bought a house, borrowed a van, and saved my game from kitty.

I did a decent shop job on it, but I know it needs a more in depth cleaning at some point. I have a NOS platic set and a NOS playfield, but mine arent really that bad. If I ever get the balls, Ill do a full restore.

Any one else want to share their machines? I think there were different colored cabs, and maybe some other differences we can discover. Post your pics and stories!

Spyderturbo007 ,found some of the pics from when I brought her home...

The only difference I have noticed so far is what some cabs are blue and some are purple.

Do you guys think this blue color is a prototype or something? It doesnt look like the lighting is affecting it.

Is YOURS purple or blue?

Oh ya, would you look at that. Must be fading. Huh.

Wow, 3m+ high score. I need to tune mine up I think. we have barely cracked 2m.

I think Im gonna tweak my vari target this weekend and maybe throw some lube on my spinner to get it to rip faster and longer.

5 Ball?? Extra Balls? Lol...ya, shut it down.

Ive got the Pascal board in mine. Only adds a short ball save called "chance ball", and makes the pop bumpers flash when they are struck.

Cool additions, but nothing to buy the board for. I bought it for reliability and high score keeping. Although, I have never been able to figure out the high score initial entering. Its really odd.

Did you clear your backglass? Mine is rubbing on the display cover and its driving me nuts. I dont know what to do about it. Its rubbing holes in my art!

Im not sure what to do about this rubbing, but its driving me nut. The more I look at my glass, the more I think I should rattl can clear coat it. Its starting to crack in places as well.

I know its the green display cover rubbing...not sure how to fix it. The backbox door is secure, not much play at all. Its locked in the right oplace as well. The glass isnt hard to get in, so I dont think its off track or anything. Any ideas??

Had a small party this weekend and SO decided to stop kicking a ball out and it gives me an error message.

According to Pascal's site, if I am reading it right:

Error=4 - A switch is detected closed after 5 consecutive coil firings

So....I guess my coil is bad? Maybe I have a short? Kinda confused on where to start. Guess I will start with just removing the ball from the trough and see what happens.

Totally weird...game has been so solid lately.

Pulled the ball tonight. Restarted the game. Then tried to start a game. It said “wait ball” and I put the ball in. It fired the ball out through two full games.....gremlins.

On a side note, i wanted to look at my nos playfield, its been a while. Got the plastic set too. Doing some inventory tonight.

Hey dont temp me or this is coming over next!

That is never going to happen, sorry. This was my first love.

Doesnt seem to be a problem any more. I reset the game with the ball out of the trough and it works fine now. Gremlins!

Hey Super Orbit dudes, punkin is on the hunt. Any overseas offerings?

My SO NOS play field gets cleared soon! Maybe I will get pictures.....

Its still in waiting. Hes been backed up.

I will trade you the old playfield for no less than 25 gameboys.

Very nice! My NOS pf got cleared a few months back. I need to get the motivation to get the game out to get swapped. Cant wait to see yours!

I got mine from Pinball Resource before the mad dash for NOS happened. I also have a plastic set too.

I always wanted to add a spinning disc in the place where the planet/moon is on the pf. Each # corresponding to the speed of the disc.

So start at 1. 1 is lit red. Lights fill in white behind it 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Then when 10 hits, 2 turns red and it fill in behind. Disc speeds up for every red number. Dump it back to stopped or slow by smashing the roto target all the way back.

I have plans....

The only attract noice my game makes is an occasional RUMBLE sound like when you start a game.

During the game it plays a pulsing boom boom boom boom boom and the flippers make a noise when you are pressed like an explosion or gun shot.

Thats crazy!!!! Ghost machine!!!

Find Hilton. He has always bugged me about selling my game or parts for my game.

Its done! Clearcoated NOS playfield and NOS plastic set.

Right now were playing it with a power ball and I love it. Reminds me of tna. All shots coming back at you if you arent careful. High score so far in the 1.2m.

Neat! A few differences there, but I see it. Id love to have the em orbit version maybe some day to have next to it.

Sorry dude, not a lot of us in this club.
