I was just offered a Bally Fireball home edition. It's located 6 miles from downtown Pittsburgh. Works at times. Seller claimed to paying $600 to have in repaired a few years ago (!). It will go pretty cheap. PM for seller phone number.

Too good to be true?
Quoted from cottonm4:Too good to be true?
Probably a legit ad. I bought a TX Sector advertised for $75, and I know a local collector that bought a Funhouse for $50. People are moving and are in a hurry to sell their 250 toy they no longer use.
A sent a message to the seller but I didn’t see the ad until an hour after it was posted.

Does anyone know what the 6-7/8 means on the playfield?
Quoted from bluespin:He’s willing to deliver the cabinet to a Fastenal store.
didn't someone said before that fastenal doesn't deliver to california?
Quoted from pinostalgia:didn't someone said before that fastenal doesn't deliver to california?
Not from the east zone. They don't ship between the zones. Here's the map.
pasted_image (resized).pngQuoted from vec-tor:Does anyone know what the 6-7/8 means on the playfield?
Good question. I can't find any 1930's slang references to the "6-7/8".
It could be a hat size reference but that doesn't make any sense.
Being "this close" to lucky number 7 ?
I'm stumped.

It must have some reference to pop culture at the time. I was able to find a reference to a 1939 Looney Tunes cartoon where Porky Pig played a policeman. The car number he arrived at the haunted house he was investigating in was car number 6 7/8.

I found a bunch of references in cartoons for 6 7/8...
Woody Woodpecker Slingshot 6 7/8.
boxing match scene "standing in this corner at 6 7/8"
6 7/8 is obviously a put down or a disparaging way to say someone or something is “just short” of normal or complete but not sure how it would fit the context of its use on “Fantasy”.
Need some more “older” timers than me to chime in because Google is not much help with this.
“Jeepers Creepers” is the Porky Pig cartoon. Search for the unedited ending version.

Huh. If it was closer I'd be all over that. But I'm already making a 20 hour round trip next weekend for my next project.

Quoted from cottonm4:Some charm much better than others
My ex wife had charm at one time.
There is a reason she is "ex wife" the charm can wear off rapidly.
Quoted from KevinD:[quoted image]
From the way I'm reading that it looks like a ball through lanes 6-7-8 will win an extra ball.
