I have a HOU Paragon pinball with original receipt, absolutely immaculate. Possibly the nicest all original Paragon in existence, (I’ll attach some pics). I’m excited about the new Godzilla game as I’m a fan of the movies, and may trade this example for a Godzilla, but yet to play one. But here’s some pics, note that the bumper caps, drop targets, spinner, even the legs and levelers are all original. No fading on the paint whatsoever. Plus playfield has zero wear spots, (there’s a glare from the flashlight in some of the pics as I left the playfield glass on). Thought this thread would be a good place to start, if anyone’s interested in a Paragon of this condition.

Thanks! Yes I really like Paragon and consider it the best Bally wide body. I just can’t see the new Godzilla or any Stern for that matter costing what they do? I remember when I bought Stern Simpson’s Party new in the box back in the day for $3500, and that was before the pro/premium/LE differences, each game back in then were better than the pro today. Only way to justify the price of Godzilla to me was to trade this rare hard to find paragon for one.

Contact “Mayfair Amusements”, they have original NOS Paragon spinners for $25. They had them at pinball expo, I saw them there at their booth. They have about any original spinner you need. These are the painted ones no decal, just letting you know

Paragon machine in the background of a new Dell/windows 11 Intel commercial! Looks nice and not faded. May not be that way for long, as the game looks to be placed by a window, hopefully just for the commercial. I saw this on the Ohio State football game today.
