A wedgehead is a single-player cabinet made by Gottlieb and a few others in foreign markets. It was never used for multiplayer cabinets of any type. The cabinet style was named for the shape of the head - it starts wide at the top and narrows towards the body. Wedge-shaped. The multiplayer cabs have a square/rectangular shape due to the need for additional hardware to display multiple scores and lamps and etc. Look up 'Sing-Along' on the IPDB. That is an iconic wedgehead.

One other company made a similar style cabinet in the 1960s - Williams - with the 'reverse-wedgehead'. This is a design with the largest part of the head at the bottom. Again, these are only single players. Look up 'Riverboat' on the IPDB. An iconic reverse-wedgehead.

That's the AAB version of Drop-A-Card and I can confirm it's a super fun game. Love the 13 drop targets!

MIBS = Massively Inane Ball Shuffler

Feel free to invent your own. It's open mike night at Club MIBS.

I was interested until Jen pointed out that what I thought was dirt was actually black mold. Yuck.

Matt,
If you are interested in buying a Mibs, Steve Charland's (blownfuse) widow is selling his Mibs on Facebook.

#on-beam & Rocket III

2 vintage pin ball machines
On beam and rocket 3
Both baily
No they are not working.
Asking 150 for the pair

I already own a Rack-A-Ball, I was just looking for a cheap project. Thanks for the heads up though.

I sense a bidding war is to erupt

or they are already sold and he hasn't bothered to take down the ad...or it was a spoof.

I had that game. Guess it made an influence!

found this on craigslist Atlanta:

Bally Eight Ball Champ selling for $700, but I think that's too high considering the left side and front were painted black. what do you think would be a fair offer for this?

atlanta.craigslist.org link

Since seller states working and no acid damage to the MPU, I really don't know that the $700 is that far off. Possibly $600?

Only the left side was painted black, front was always black.

Backglass appears to be peeling along the bottom. I think $600 is a fair price.

remf I checked Pimballpimp, classic arcades, planetary Pinball and several European sites and no one makes stencils for this title. This was a low production game. There was an article on pinside about being able to remove a specific type of paint with a product that you can buy at homedepot/Lowe's.

Since you can't fix the art, I would ask to see it in person, test the paint to see if it can be removed. If so maybe offer $600. If you can't remove the paint pass on the pin as it will be hard to trade or sell later.

There is a really nice looking Blackout on Craigslist for $800. If you have trouble finding the ad on me.

The problem with that title is they used shitty decals on it from the factory so they always seem to have issues on the cabinets. I sold a decent one a couple years back (some minor cabinet art issues but fully working & shopped) for like $800. I don't remember the exact number but it was between $750 and $900 and I would have called it an 8 or better overall. Not an easy title to buy or sell!

I had to hand paint the sides of the cabinet in order to fix the artwork; missing chunks.
It came out nice as long as you did not get close to the cabinet. The client was ecstatic when
the game was returned.
I wish there were decals for this title.
It would have been a lot faster and simpler repair.

remf Here is a link to the Blackout. It is $900 obo. If you like drop target games you will like this title. The secret to successfully buying these types of pins is going to look at it first before trying to negotiate on price. Sellers get a lot of people emailing/calling asking how low the seller can lower the price. Schedule a time and date to go look at it. After inspecting it in person, and you like it, offer $600-700 if the playfield is in good condition. You will have trouble finding a good condition playfield for this title to swap into the game. The seller is more motivated to lower the price if you are there in person. As the saying goes "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

Thanks! I'll probably pass on eightball, but ill definitely check out blackout. Thanks for the info!

Thought about this one, would like the single player version Doodle Bug more I think after seeing at Pintastic.. not on my bucket list though.

Pass on Dipsy. It only Has two doodle values. Doodle Bug has the ability to go up to 10,000 per doodle.
