I was talking to someone where I was working the other day, and I brought up "my nutty hobby".
The guy responded as many folks in their '50s-'60s do when you bring up pinball. He said he used to love playing pinball, and told me he was a "wizard" at a game called "Planets". I told him that I remember that game from back in the '70s, and that it was a New York state model which did not award replays. He insisted that he remembered winning free games on the one he used to play, but I told him that "Planets" didn't award replays, but a similar game called "Zodiac", did. Anyway, I turned him on to some websites where he could find information on pinballs, and as the day wore on, we continued our discussion on and off, and I could tell that he was beginning to succumb to the nostalgia bug.
I took his number, and told him that if I ever come across a "Planets" for sale, I'd give him a call.
I know it's a fairly low production game, and I don't recall seeing one in quite some time, but I'm wondering if any of you owns one of these, or has seen one recently. If any are around, I'd imagine it would more than likely turn up in NY, WI, or CT because it is an add a ball game. I'll check "Pinball Owners" to see if anyone there has one.

The guy in Huntington is also on "Pinball Owners".

Wow, cool! Rare game for sure. Hang onto that backglass.

"Zodiac" is rare enough, but "Planets" is super rare. There was some debate at one point if it was even actually produced! I know it was because I played it back in the day on location. Saw more than one in NY state.
