Have been offered a Strikes and Spares machine from late seventies? $700 U.S

Didnt know a thing about this machine so had a look on youtube and thought WOW thats a sexy retro backglass!

To be honest ive never had any desire to get into machines of this era but yet seeing that backglass and hearing the old school chimes kinda got me excited lol!

So i guess im asking for any opinions on if i should spend the money on this older type Pin or is my money best kept and continually added to source my next nineties pin?

Anyone played this machine at all? i realize they are alot simpler but theres something so cool about the look and sounds ive seen so far?

Yeah I think I would,
as long as your GF or wife isnt the jealous type I mean spending so much time with a new woman late into the night. they made over 12,000 and they come up for sale time to time - go with your gut feeling

It's a popular pin and it has one of the best backglasses ever. I'd probably bite in that price range.

Haha....yeah the girlfriend gets jealous enough with the amount of time the Pinballs get at night let alone one with a sexy girl plastered all over the backglass!

I'd go for it. Tell her at least it's not this one which I'm still looking for. See the note about the interchangeable pictures.

Yeah, K is gonna have to agree. That's easily the hottest backglass chick on the market, but I'm a redhead lover like jb. Just make sure it's okay with the old lady. I knew a guy that bought a Playboy like pops is looking for and she made him take it back.
