Pathetic Earthlings - Check out my new pin!

Hey guys,

 

Some of you might know that I've been after one of these for a long time now...

 

FINALLY one popped up locally :o

Picked it up from Judgeboz (thanks again mate!) yesterday and damn I'm a happy chappy!

 

Playfield looks to have been mylared all it's life (still has it). The only part that is worn is around the upper bumper on the lower playfield.

 

Backglass is 99.9% mint. Unbelievable!

 

Boards work 100% as does the Squalk n Talk. I just need to replace 3 playfield globes and it will be 100% there.

 

I've just ordered a white rubber set and new slingshot plastics.

can't wait to bring it in the house.

 

I'm a happy man! :D

80s Bally games are great - beautiful artwork and nice game play.

 

Glad to see the backglass made it home safely.

 

Enjoy your new pin Terry.

 

Catch up again soon mate.

 

Cheers

John.

Cheers guys.

 

Yeah I love the movie aswell. I saw one of these in a disposals shop years ago (more than 20 I reckon) for $500.

 

That was a fair bit of money back then and my parents just laughed at me when I asked them to buy it for me ;)

 

Chances could be that this is the same machine, but who knows...

 

This ones definately a keeper for sure.

Yep, the strobe board aswell as the MPU and the driver boards have been fully rebuilt. :)
