I just picked up a real clean johnny mnemonic that's all chromed out and has different cabinet art from the others. The fella I bought it from said it was a limited edition #1 of 2 made. He stated it came from some big pinball collector out of Chicago. I can't find any information of on this, can anybody help me out on this claim?

I'm not positive, but I believe those were made by Great American Pinball or GAP as he is known on here. I think I remember him listing those a while back.

Looks like mine - I know PINSIDE member Skypilot did the restore - maybe he could chime in?image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

I like the black treatment on your pin, is that a homemade topper or official?

#5 8 years ago

Powder coated black trim is nice. I like the chrome on yours as well. There never was an "official" topper for JM. I got it from a guy on here that made them. Yours topper is neat too - does it light up?

It does, it changes a ton of colors and different modes like flash or cycle via a remote I have. I know mine is a custome deal, not official. I didn't know much about Johnny machines other than it's affordable and fun to play.

How much was great American pinball selling the JMs for?

Looks like he was selling a chrome one for $6,500.00 (remember they are a retail store) now how much he ended up getting is another question.

Wow! Looks like this particular pin caused a big controversy! Anyway, I love my new pin, it's clean and plays like a new machine.

The artwork was bootleg from a few years back. I believe it is still floating around.

Quoted from PinRob:

Looks like mine

Missed that pin enough had to get another.

I just had a chance to put it in last night. It is a fantastic upgrade to JM. Nicely done Adam.

Holy cow, attack from mars and twilight zone!! You have a sweet set up! I like that color DMD in your johnny pin. So funny, everybody seems to have their pins in the basement.

My JM topper would be easy to replicate, I would guess any sign shop could make it, it's just plexi-glass that's etched and has LED lighting at the bottom. If you were serious about getting one done up, I'd trace out mine for you and send it to you. You could also order the "crazy Bobs" placard for JM and take it to a sign shop and have them scale it up for pattern to whatever size topper you want.
