It is a rare machine. Probably because it didn't sell well. Even if it were in great shape I'm not sure I would pay that much for it.
There is one owner on the forum. You could try and contact him.

Arg the big price difference between America en Europe. I Heavy Metal Meltdown would cost 300 / 350 euro's over here.

A better question should be if it is any fun. I am realy not a huge fan of the Bally 6803's. And even in America you could buy a machine thats mutch more fun for that amount of money. (Offcourse this is my personal opinion )

yard sale, "somones junk is anothers treasure"........and I guess would be willing to pay that much?

DON'T EVEN CONTACT THE GUY!

" From the moment the ball is unleashed you're in control of some very hot licks!
THATS RIGHT, YOU'RE THE STAR- every shot you make plays a different riff on this guitar ! A pinball first- Screaming metal solos with every ball in play "

I heard they used music from Stryper, Winger and Extreme. lol

Is that a GHETTO BOX on the topper? What's that worth on ebay? AMPlifies your earnings.............OMG!!!

HA HA HA,
If only we at pinside were in charge of doing the pro -mos for pins
something like....?
" Hey little girl think your man enough to play the new Heavy Metal Meltdown?
well step up drop in a coin and hang on to your air guitar.... unless you want to spend the rest of your life in your Mom's basement playing vids.....
OVERDRIVE YOUR AMP AND BREAK SOME WINDOWS TODAY! "

What I want to know is, Does the Ghetto Blaster Work?

hah looks cool:

might get annoying pretty quick but... not worth 2400

I've decided to revive old threads that haven't had final answers.

Yes the boombox works on this machine. Not only do the speakers work but there is a red light inside of the center that lights up when you get multiball.

I love mine and its not leaving anytime soon.

Fun game for music fans. I sold mine for $650 and I'd buy it back that price.

I've got one local to me and it is hilarious. HEAVY.... METAL..... MELTDOWN!!!

I bought one a couple of years ago and converted it into an AC/DC pin, before the Stern version came out, that is. I'm not a fan of Bally 6803 pins either, but this one is actually a bit of alright. I paid less than $1000 for it and I think that $1k would be my max for this game.

I used to play this a lot back in the day. I'd buy one in a second for the right price.

It's strange because this title is really hard to find ESP in ok condition. And yet I owned 2 of them for about $600 a pop. Took 2 to make one and Tim N on the board her did some fantastic touch up to the playfield.

It's totally cheesy and that's why it rules.

Technically, I am Tim N. on RGP, and ralphwiggum on here

HMM is so bad, it is good. I love the sweet Casio tracks for the hardcore guitar riffs. I have yet to see a nice original HMM out there, they are all beat to hell, the PFs were crap wherever there wasn't mylar, and the large inserts on this game all seem to pop up out of the PF....

Here is ChrisS HMM getting a little love- https://picasaweb.google.com/114677989241940608218/HeavyMetalMeltdown?authuser=0&feat=directlink
