There is a local guy willing to sell me a Torch pinball machine for $200. It's not working atm but has been stored inside for years. Hopefully I can find somebody at work with a truck to help me pick it up. It's either that or I will rent a truck for a half day. I offered him and extra $50 if he finds someone before me. I think it's a good deal. Here is the picture off the Craigslist ad.

Good deal ??? Anybody played this machine ??

He just called. Seems like a nice guy. I think we will be able to work something out. He said it's been "fixed" a few times but they are tired of it and just bought that game table to the right. I told him that I didn't expect him to hold it for me if he got a better offer.

For the price I'm not too concerned about fixes. It is a Gottlieb system one that can be a PIA but not so much as what I've dealt with before. I really don't care about the "reviews" people post anymore as one of my fav's is the POS Phoenix I fixed up that alot of people hate.

I really didn't want another pinball but the price seems right even though it's currently broke.

There goes another space in the dining room for now !!! TGIHATW (Thank God I Have a Tolerant Wife)

Now where do I put the three Rockola CD jukeboxes Wolfman is bringing to me in a couple of weeks ??

Well I bought it and it's being delivered this weekend. I have access to all kinds of old obsolete IC including proms, spider IC's , etc etc as we've been repairing obsolete circuit boards for 25 years where I work. We literally have bucketloads of old parts stored. Being a Senior Electronic Repair Tech has it's advantages. It doesn't scare me and I love a challenge. For that kind of money why not. Thanks for all the advice and comments.
