man, is THAT a confusing product name

Looks like fun!

But I hate videos when they don't have the bells working!

I'll be honest, it looks slightly limited on playfield features with a kickout hole as the center attraction. Not really much to shoot for. Add a spinner and maybe a drop target or two and it would be a much better game IMO.

That's a very nice lawn mower Steve for a even trade for a Williams Cabaret and I would not do it.

I would hold out for a nice single player to add something different to your collection to play.

You're welcome! Sometimes you just can't help yourself wanting any EM machine to tinker with. I mean that's half the fun. I saw this and it reminded me of that Star Pool I picked up last year. A four player Williams in need of some love. But when I was done it was also real fun to play! It had those drop targets and a spinning device and played real fast. In the end though once I was able to max out the bonus on almost every ball, I let it go. But it was nice to have around for a while. This one though just doesn't look that fun to play.

As Brian said, the fun factor seems like it would go away quickly as the shots are limited. Seems like it would be a great starter pin for a family with small children to entertain them.

You could always change your ad to state that you will trade for a single player pinball machine only.

Ken

Those kids would be pissed! The next thing you know they would either be turned off by pinball altogether or demanding that daddy get them a modern DMD pin like AC/DC or something like that!

(sorry, I just couldn't help myself)

But we are the same age! I saw your picture. Long hair in the 70s and all. That's not really you now is it? I had a real cool grandpa too! Please forgive me if I'm wrong!

I was a drunk fuddy-duddy last night. Oh, my aching head.

If your mower was on the west coast, i would take it for $400 easy,
as i am moving soon and new place has about 0.5acre of lawn.

cheers tom
p.s. Cabaret: not that great of a player,
most exciting thing is rattling around
in 5 pop bumper area.

Although I have't played one, some of those single player Williams from the 60s are real challenging and a blast to play. Very solidly built also. There may not look like much on the playfield, but it is probably going to be much better than Cabaret. If I were you, I would grab my cane, and at least go check it out.

I don't care for a Soccer theme myself but if you like Soccer than this might be a good 2 player game, maybe not as fun with just 1 player.

Friendship 7 does not look that fun for a single player plus it's an AAB which I don't care for, but maybe you don't mind.

If it were me I would still hold out for a better single player tittle.

Ken

I always thought Friendship 7 was a charming game. It might be neat alongside your Space Mission? Although now I see it isn't rated very highly. I have played it but not enough to base an opinion.

I don't think Soccer will win any awards for its outstanding art package but from what I have heard it's fun. And the backglass animation is a nice touch.

I actually enjoy hearing about your possibilities Steve, keep posting them as it is fun to live vicariously through you right now as I cannot buy another pin until after we move which hopefully will happen in a couple months.

Ken

Big Casino is one of those unfortunate games where a repro backglass costs more than the game is reasonably worth (even if the game is free).

Your right Steve, the flipper arrangement on Big Casino was not very well thought out IMO too, and it seems others have made the same comment. The fun vs frustrating factor looks like the latter would take the lead for me so I would pass on it.

I would still keep looking for a better player if it were me.

Sorry your having a soap opera type of day. I think most of us have been there at one time or another with the misses in regards to pinball and they usually win the argument, at least for one day.

Ken

"Big Albino", as Tim Arnold calls it is one of those games that despite being a wedgehead, gets no love. They always seem to have bad backglasses and good playfields. This is likely due to not being played very much in the day, then not being stored correctly because it's not a prized game to begin with. The repop was made, but you have to ask yourself if it's worth it. My brother says he likes his, but hasn't gotten a glass for it. I guess if you set it up correctly and use the biggest juiciest rubber donuts on all the lower playfield posts, you can make it reasonably playable.

I'll wait with you.
