You just don't see a Robocop very often. Neat game, hope to have the opportunity to play one sometime.

Haha love how it's blocking the fire extinguisher. Where's that at?

Since your aware of the flipper problem why dont you fix it? Just a thought

There's a fire? Get RoboCop over here right now!!!

Congrats on getting a pin out on a location earning money.
Hope it generates some cash for you. Machine appears to be in fairly clean.
Curious how the 25 cents game play price works out.
Yes, definitely move Robo over several feet to clear access to first aid, or move the first aid station, or remove signs if there is no longer a first aid station at that spot.

That's pretty cool. I always wanted to play a Robocop. I hope you don't mind, but I rotated your photo. It was giving me a sore neck.

Well done do you own the place where it is?

congrats and good luck. at 25cents a play you wont be making much, but the kids will all look up to you!!

If you could keep us updated of the success, red tape, and earnings for a little bit that would be interesting. I'm thinking about routing myself. Well, not actually routing myself, but routing pins.

Definitely need a pin in arcades and pizza places to break up all the damn video games and ticket redemption games. Need variety in these places, hats off to you for putting there, as I'am sure its the only pin! I'd play it before putting any money in a video game just cuz its pinball regardless of theme or rule set! Do you have it on 3 or 5 ball games? Put it on 3 if you dont already and you'll make more money as it will kick the players a$$ and they will be like addicted and keep feeding it quarters trying to get there intials up on the game!

For .25 you wont even cover the maintenance depending on what your split is with the location

After Robocop shoots you the first aid kit is gonna be the last thing to help, better call
the city morgue for a bodybag.

Nice pin, good job keeping pinball alive in the wilds of America.

Just an FYI in the route business.. Its always easy to go down in price.. VERY VERY hard to go up with out bitching from location, Customers......

If i saw that while i was out, i would throw some coins in it.

I don't own this game but does the flipper have an End of Stroke switch? If so check its adjustment. I have had this issue before but not on DE machine and found a cold solder joint were the power wires connect to the solenoid. Resolder might help aleve the problem also. Just a couple of thoughts out loud.
Cabinet and what I can see of the playfield looks like it is really good shape.
Hopefully the Walla Walla folks don't beat on stuff.

I agree 0.25 it is not going to cover keeping it running and your time; especially if location split.
As for changing pricing from 0.25 to 0.50 this is a horrible idea and it is almost always met with a negative customer reaction. I used to have an arcade and believe me it is easier to come down in price later but going up is a turn off to any regulars and 20 games its first hour seems like you have some regulars already. As always this is IMHO no grain of salt needed. My location was in Vancouver Wa so not that far from you considering. As far as arcades I would stick to shooters drivers and fighters possibly a couple of the cool 3 or 4 player games because they draw in others to join also. Best two pins they loved the most were TFTC and WW both made a killing even at 0.50.

Best of luck with your location
Have fun and keep gaming

exactly, you should have started at 0.50.

let us know how it goes after a month and if the game is still making the same profit and if it does good for you.

good luck.

I own a RoboCop and it can be a brutal frustratingly fun fast game. You'll probably be ok at a quarter a game since it's got a factory continue feature setting, but I'd set the match % real low. Whatever you've got it set at, you'll have to roll with for a while. Learning is half the fun anyway!

Talk about a crazy coincidence. I had just mentioned in this thread last night that I always wanted to play a Robocop. Today, I took my kids to a place called the Volo Auto Museum. After spending a couple hours there looking at some really cool cars, we were on are way back to the parking lot and we cut through a flea market type of area. I rounded the corner, and I was absolutely shocked to see a Robocop staring me in the face. It was the only pin in the place. I got the guy to turn it on for me. Unfortunately, I broke the game on the third ball. Here's some pics of it ...

Yeah, I think you know it is!

Looks like you will have it paid off next week!

Okay maybe not cause it will slow down. My pins only make about $200 a month. So, youre doing quite well.
