Would like to find an all around very nice example of "FF" within 5-6 hour drive from NYC area. Also would like a reasonably priced "GS" in reasonably good condition within the same area. (jrpinball at netzero dot net) Nothing in Canada please unless you want to cross the border with the game.

You just missed a free fall on the Syracuse CL yesterday. Ad says it sold.

Yeah, I also just missed a "Gold Strike" in Syracuse this past spring. Funny thing was, I actually was in the area at the time! I live about 3 1/2 hours from Syracuse, but happened to be working in the area that day. I checked Mr. Pinball that evening, and saw a very reasonably priced "GS", but it was gone by the time I called. I know who got it, and he wants like 3X what he got it for and didn't do a thing to it!
"FF" is tough to find with all three major elements in nice condition. The reds on the glass are usually flaked, and the playfields are usually worn or badly planked. I figure I'll give it a shot though.

Saw your game on eBay. It's a bit rough. What offers have you had? I wouldn't be anywhere near your "buy it now" price for that game, but thanks for your reply.

I have a very nice sky jump (non add a ball version). Had not thought about selling it but if the price was right..........
No planking on the PF at all. An area where finish is gone but, it is the best of three machines that I bought. I also have the worst of the 3. I would part with that very easily (cheaply), but it comes in pieces! I had intended to make a virtual pin out of that one, but the time to complete is just not available. It won't break my heart to keep either of them though.

Thanks, but I'm an AAB guy. Only want that version.

It is still a great game. There was one in Allentown at pinfest last year, condition was poor though.

Would the machine you are talking about be the one currently on Mr pinball.com, located in Fabius, NY (near syracuse)?
Im looking for a machine under 1000-1500, something to try out and hone my shopping skills on. Need help!
