If the glass sells ...

Wonder what the rest looks like?

A couple of older woodrails -- in case 1940s vintage is a bit too recent for you:

ebay.com link: RARE ANTIQUE JAY BALL PINBALL MACHINE GAME 1930s Arcade Playable O D Jennings

ebay.com link: 1936 Jennings Flicker Antique Pinball Machine

The first listing says "Local Pickup Only", but then goes on at length about NAVL and other shipping options. O.K., make up your mind fella -- which is it ?

[I must confess that I had not previously heard of Jennings tables. Guess I've still got a lot to learn . . . .]

agreed. especially the Flicker

In Utah. Man, if this were closer, I just might have to consider it. Niiiiicccccce!!!

Hi all!
I'm the owner of this nice K&Q. I don't have problems to ship it overseas (Europe, Oceania or South America). Of course, it can also be shipped to any of the 48 contiguous states.

Price will be lowered (Ebay fees) for a private deal.

You find, you win : REWARD USD 500 each !

Check out this listing.......If it's for real, a real steal! Looks to be in very good condition. Hard to say if the reds have the usual flaking, but looks great without being back lit. Also gotta love the guy's copy to go with it!

I would say the reds aren't flaked from looking at that pic. I have a backglass just about like it with no flaking. Nice looking game. This dude is crazy mad

My King of Diamonds was sold to Odin via Robert in Utah. If I had the funds this K and Q would already be mine. I am about 6-8 months away from my next pinball buy during tax return season.

ebay.com link: Vintage Gottlieb Blue Note Pinball Machine

The Blue Note in Canada sold on ebay for $1515

That's the cleanest EM (on the inside) I've ever seen. Too bad it's across the country, local pickup only.

That Sky Jump looks pretty good. Thanks stashyboy for the good laugh I had reading his crazy listing. Hilarious!

Awhile back, I asked Dirtflipper if anyone ever posted bounties or finder's fees here, and he said that it's been known to happen. Well, here's the proof. It would have to be for a title that's awfully rare and hard-to-find. No doubt, just 350 units made seems to qualify. (BUT, with 8000 of the SS version made . . . I dunno. Especially if it's one of those cases where the SS closely duplicates the attributes of the EM version.)

Several in the hobby will pay for a game "that stands out in their collection" because of it's rarity. They have the money too - which I don't.

Same reason people may look for a low production muscle car from the 60's - maybe a convertible or a low production model with unique features.

The funny thing is some of the rare collectible pinball machines with low production runs are duds to play.

Agree with you, TKO, Blue Note/Rock Star, Strange World and Dragon in 4 players are good examples.

now now on strange world !! .. i love playing mine!!! lol

Strange World was one of those with some really cool and striking artwork, IIRC.

Another thing I kept meaning to ask about here, for you or anyone else from the Vancouver area:
Several years ago I visited Vancouver Island for a couple days as a tourist, a trip that was both good and impressive. There was this major museum I went to, which may have been walking distance from a train station (?) Anyway, at that time they had one display section that I think had something to do with an old frontier mining camp (?) Much to my surprise, this exhibit included one of the oldest "pinball" machines I've ever seen. (NOT Pachinko, btw -- *pinball.*) Probably older than anything you might see at PHOF in Vegas . . . and they have or had a few *really* old tables in their collection. But maybe not as old as some of the bagatelle ancestors -- this was more . . . mechanical, and recognizable in terms of its general form factor. Pre-electric though, most likely. I've wondered about it ever since. (They probably did not allow cameras in there, or else I think I would have snapped a pic.) My searches to find out anything more about this online have been unavailing, so far. Would you have any good notion as to which museum that might have been ? Perhaps you also went there somewhere around this time, saw this pin, and made some note of what it was ? Anyone ?

Heretic, interesting story - i will look into the museums on Vancouver Island, - i imagine it would have been in Victoria ...

a lot don't like Strange World for its game play - which of course is just fine, we all have our preferences - but i find it a refreshing change from my other wedge heads, and if set on hardest settings (post placements etc) it can be a real challenge too .. at least for me

cheers, Ron

I found Strange World disappointing but it could have been set up. Blue Note I enjoyed a lot.

And Hit the Deck is a great player.

Yes, almost certainly Victoria. Isn't there a large, historic old hotel . . . The Empress ? That may have been walking distance from this museum as well.

Ended.

Yes, and he also sent me Big Daddy out of his own personal collection. What a guy! Two of the nicest original condition 1960s EMs I have seen.

That's why I try not to pay taxes. I like to spend my money now!

That won't be necessary.

Congrats Odin!

Thanks Rob! You get to play it whenever it gets here.

And thank you Robert! I still can't figure out where you get these time capsules . But I'm sure glad you do.

Congrats.

Kings and Queens and King of Diamonds sure do look nice side by side in a collection.

I bet they do! But Rat got my KoD. It will probably look just as nice sitting next to Flipper and Slick Chick.
