I Keep striking out trying to find my grail EM gun game. I've been on the hunt for one of the vinyl ball shooters from 61-
Shooting Gallery
Shooting Gallery Deluxe
Rifle Gallery
Marksman
Sharpshooter
White lightning
My wife and I played one- Marksman at Museum Mechanique- on our first ever date 11 years ago! Gotta have one for the house, obviously has full approval from the missus.
I've looked for the last two years on Pinside, Mr Pinball, Elame, craigslist etc. But I only find flakes and people who won't ship or won't communicate.
Right now there's a White lightning on Ebay, been there for months, I've sent dozens of messages to the guy but he won't follow up past one or two responses so don't feel confident about buying.
That one is in the Chicago area, if anyone there is close and can grab it, flip it to me! I'll pay a reasonable mark up.
So my question is, where else should I be looking for these games? is there a Pinside type forum for EM gun game guys? Is it worth putting a want ad up here?
Anyone have one they want to move down the road? I try to be easy to deal with, pretty sure I have decent feedback as a buyer here.
I already reached out to all the old timers in my area and they are on the lookout for me, but any help would be appreciated. Not interested in any other gun games, only the ones that actually shoot vinyl balls.
Thanks!
