Any Pinball wizards here?
 
Went to a pinball convention this weekend. I had no idea my son would love it as much as I have. I am considering purchasing an Attack from Mars remake. Damn these things are expensive. My problem is I have no idea how much it costs to maintain these things. My understanding is the new electronics are supposed to make the new ones bulletproof but the reality of it is I actually have no idea. Anyone ever buy one of these things? Any pointer would be appreciated.

Some of my favorites:
Attack from Mars
8 ball deluxe
Adams Family

Hell I can't even remember a bunch of them. What are your favorites?

That wasn't very encouraging at all but thanks.

When I wiped out my kayak in the Rio Grande I became a human pinball.

I'm not a pinball wizard, but lately I have been a little nostalgic and have been wondering about adding a couple of the old arcade games I used to like back in the day to the basement.

Maintenance is one of my big questions.

The Black Knight was my favorite pinball game in the early 80's. Dropped a bunch of coin back in the day playing this AWESOME game.

I have an old Harlem Globetrotters Bally table buried in my basement. The back glass is shot,but the play surface and cabinet are still in good shape.

LMAO. All I got at the convention was that the remakes were much more reliable. I really want attack from mars

How long have you had it and have you needed to have work done on it?

I need to go out and get one. Has anyone been out to the pinball museums that are across the country?

No. Just the bowling alleys that still have a few

Nzoner 07-30-2018 11:25 AM

I own this one and it needs a little work but have yet to inquire about getting it looked at
