    I am looking at my pinball machine line up and the game room could accommodate another unit if it was a bit narrower than average.
    Something like the size of Spanish Eyes or Paddock comes to mind as those are the slimmest machines I have seen in person - about 26 inches wide per IPDB.

    A few slim games that I can think of that are not really on my list:
    Safe Cracker - $$$$ ow.
    Williams Pinball 2000 Star Wars -Nah.
    Williams Pinball 2000 Revenge from Mars - maybe.

    How many other games are out there that are fun and have a slightly slimmer profile ?

    Help me squeeze one more game in..

    Thx.

    There's only one choice, Banzai Run has it all and it's under 24". Or I guess you could go with RFM which is like the same width, either will do in my book.

    I forgot about this machine, its a contender if I found one at a good price.

    Quoted from ericthehalfb:

    Williams Slugfest

    There was one of these near me at a bowling alley and I played a ton of games.

    Not familiar with this one, I need to look into it but first glance looks solid.

    Thanks for the ideas - I'm making a list.

    What are the deminsions of a Bally "LE" series? I know my Centaur 2 seems slim
    Centaur, 8ball deluxe

    Wood rails and wedge heads your best bet.

    Flyer has 27 width listed, looks bigger but I'll look into that.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Centaur, 8ball deluxe

    Centaur2, pacman and Hyperball (rapid fire) have the same cab but none of the flyers have dimensions listed, the head pieces looks wide??
    8 Ball Deluxe is a solid candidate if its slim.

    No dimensions on flyer either but it appears about normal width. I bet its a fun game.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Wood rails and wedge heads your best bet.

    Never had a game from that era, whats one or two that is a good example. ?

    The Bally LEs don't have a head, so they don't stick out horizontally beyond the body like a normal cab.
    Stuck at work dammit

    Edit: wedgheads- centigrade 37, abra ca Debra, 2001, jacks open ?

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    2001 and Abra CaDabra look like awesome EM games that would match my rooms vibe.

    But,
    The LE Centaur 2 and 8 ball deluxe machines are getting my interest up. I have played a few games of Centaur before years ago but had no idea the options that game has after watching a few videos. That thing is feature packed and if its a slim package....

    Thanks for the input so far guys, keep it coming.

    Looks like my Centaur 2 is 27.25" (the head does stick out a touch) and my Kings & Queens in 26" at the very top of it's wedge.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    27.25 is going to be my goal, I'll move some games in tighter and confirm the space.

    Thanks for the help.

    Happy hunting.

    Wedge heads and Williams 1 players.

    #17 3 years ago

    I’ve never tried this but there are some “reverse” or “upside down” wedge heads you could put every other to save some space.

    However you’d probably need to do this several times over to gain the space for yet another machine.

    Good luck!

    Yeah, my Lucky Strike slides in here at a mere 22.5"

    Great pic, Vinyl - Joey Ramone caricature and pinball.

    I'll look into that generation of machines, 22.5 is an easy fit.

    Thx.

    My woodrails are 25 at the legs. Kings plays surprisingly fast as do some others. I like the way they look too, even my wife gave a tiny bit of a wow when I bought it home.

    No, the head is only 27.5 inches wide. Also, the cabinet it 4 inches shorter than a normal length machine. (48 inches)
