Torpedo Alley
Data East, 1988I know it's a long shot, but looking for a Data East Torpedo Alley. I am in Wisconsin, but travel well and shipping is possible. Figured someone might have one layring around somewhere that does not get any love.
My Dad was in the Navy and his ship supplied submarines in the Atlantic so I've always been fascinated with them. Thanks!
Hell of a good game, always liked this one. One of Data East's best. Believe someone was selling one on here not too long ago, might want to do a search and see if it's still available. As I'm sure you know, cave plastics are almost always broken and at this point are unobtanium...
Hello, Well I actually have a Torpedo Alley for sale. The game is in amazing condition. Almost perfect play field and the cabinet is great for it's age. The problem is that I live in Avon, Ct. 06001 and I am leaving for my Florida house on Sunday so even if you wanted it I couldn't get it shipped for you in that amount of time. I want a firm $2000 for the game so if you are interested let me know and send me your email address and I can forward you the photos.
Best regards,

I always liked the theme on this one as well and it looks like it has some interesting shots. Unlike many, I actually dig the translite, I just wish the dude wasn't on it.
I believe you just "sparks" interest in a very cool game that may have been off the radar.
Classic theme. Love it. Good luck!
I blew a chance to get a working one of these for $700 last year.
One of many pinball regrets.
This market sure does change like the wind.....
Quoted from Methos:And a machine has been secured, as well as maybe another one!
Thanks to all - might bring this one to the events around the WI area because of how rare and in prime condition it is.
I was a little afraid for a moment you would only be buying one machine. If you only bought two, you are exhibiting some signs of self control though.... So now, you are telling your wife that these games you are buying are "for your dad".... 
How long until she catches on?
Just having some fun with you, congrats on your purchase. I played one of these at Expo a few years ago and really had a good time on it. Nice Pickup!
I haven't seen one of those in 10 years - congrats Mark!
Are you sure you didn't want it because the guy on the translite looks just like you?

It's all for the boy - ....
Yeah - the kid bit is a getting a little worn out since they are starting to turn against me and agree with Mom that we have no more room. So figured since my ol' man is retired and slowing down a bit, time to shift tactics...it's where the rubber meets the road.
I'm selling a few, I swear. 
I have been looing for this one for awhile - at least I do play them - so I'm not a horder right?

I am not going to lie, - I'm infatuated with the blonde on the left. If i see O'Connor at Expo ever again I'm going to force him to tell me what modeling agency they used.

I wasn't in the Navy, but I'm pretty sure those weren't the standard Navy uniforms in 1988 - but your Dad can probably verify for sure. 
Seriously, that translite is genius. You couldn't replicate its beauty it if you tried.

You only have to answer one question... Without cheating, name all of the games folded up in the spare bedroom.... And GO!

I can do that for I go in there on some Friday nights, turn on the lights, drink my beer and just stare at them for awhile.
I'll have space for these two once I rip out that bathroom in the corner of our basement.
