    I think you misread my post or I just wrote it poorly. I never owned a pinball machine, just a pachinko machine. They don’t have flippers. But I wish I owned a pinball machine.

    As far as servicing them and repairing them, I worked in an arcade in the 90s. I’ve had to do so much pinball repair work it’s not even funny.

      Oh yeah sorry I did. But that makes since because we were always working on ours. I rather have that if it easier to repair and looks fun. Don’t think I ever played on one.

      I have own a veiw acrade machines too. They used to have huge auctions in Dallas for them, not sure still do been years. But seen the pinball machine you mentioned at one. I got out bided on it and a Southpark machine.

      And I still ticked off when the auction allowed the owner of the machines to bid. Got bid me right out of buying these bad ass shooter.
