I am looking to purchase a new EM Machine for my game room.
I am looking for a game similar to Williams Superstar or Honey
A game with a center drop hole, and rollover buttons to advance the bonus you get when going into the drop hole.
Also would prefer a machine with a center post to lessen the chance of draining, but that is secondary.
Also like machines from the 70's.
I can get Superstar, but I already have Chicago Coins Super Star, and it might sound silly, but i would not prefer two machines with the same name, especially because I only have five machines in my game room.

You can add your own center post to any table.

You may want to post a "Wanted" ad in the market place for 70's era EM machines.

I believe he means the solenoid operated type which can be either up or down, depending on targets or rollovers made.

You could always try finding a "Big Star" which is the add-a-ball version. Pretty much the same game with a different name.

You have to wait for the right deal. Every day scan Craig's List, Offerup, and Facebook Marketplace. One day the right machine for the right price will show up. It will not last for long. Local pickup is the best but sometimes you see "will ship". Not sure if they can be trusted. Good luck. There are local area for sale topics in the forums you could post to.

Maybe I was not clear in what I was asking. Yes perhaps down the line I may want to purchase something. Right now I am just looking on information about machines that are similar to Super Star or Honey. What other pinball machines are like those that I could research on what to buy.

Bally ‘Amigo’ could be your friend.

Centered kickout hole, advance bonus rollover buttons and Up/down center drain post.

Be sure and try the veal and tip your waiter on the way out.

A fairly nice one just sold on FB Marketplace here locally for $500. I’d have snagged it if I had any more room.

Williams Klondike does not quite fit your bill, but worth researching.
