Hope this is the right forum. I am a fan of early SS pins but like 'em all. I have to make a choice on my next buy, High Speed or Xenon, both priced the same at the top of pinside estimate. Xenon is a lower play game in better condition, but High Speed is still nice...no issues. I'm more familiar/comfortable w/Bally....but? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Also, re-saleability is always a consideration in conjunction with all other concerns. Thanks

Thanks for the input....no trolling I'm just really wrestling with which way to go....wish I had more money to get both.

Newest game I ever had was Jungle Lord, did not really like the two level PF, sold it and using the money for this buy. Paragon is my fav of my collection w/Laser Ball coming in next. Would like to step into slightly newer game....but dang Xenon looks cool, and would fit nicely w/SI, on other hand the gameplay of HS certainly looks like fun!

OK, OK, what can I sell and get both? Man this is difficult. Thanks everyone

Have to say I don't disagree with you, but my son loves it, and it looks cool beside my SI arcade game.

Did I mention, seller claims only 100 plays on Xenon? Not sure if I believe such a low number....but?

Guys, you've really got me trying to figure out a way to get both. Time for some fire-sales I think.

You guys ain't making this any easier.....kinda wish one of them was a pig so this would be a no brainer. Guess that's why both were on my "to buy someday" list. We'll see what fate brings, still trying to figure out a way to get both...

UPDATE: So first off, thank you all for your comments and points of view. In the end they did help me to decide which way to go. There was no way for me to come up w/cash for both games SO......I got Xenon, here's why: I am more familiar with the Bally play, diagnostics, and repair, the condition of Xenon while not collectors quality is very good (much better than the HS), I like the way it plays, and looks, plus it fits in nicely with my current collection. I have never had a game newer than 1983 but while picking up the Xenon I played an AC DC and find myself learning to like some of the modern games. I am still not into toys and gimmicks on the PF, or an overly crowded PF, or distracting videos, but I do like the ability to play essentially different games in one box like selecting the song on AC DC. So, I think my future search will include something a little more modern....or new. Just gonna have to find a way to pay for it. Thanks again everyone!

NEW UPDATE, Found a sweet High Speed...paid too much, but oh well, now I have BOTH. Kids seem to like both pretty equally, but I've noticed them playing HS more.
