Awesome way to get the young ones into the "vintage". Great looking machine chevy!!
Thanks pickrknows, Yeah it's a big hit with the kids, it definitely draws them in, all my stuff isn't junk. Lol
Thank you kerry10456 and neon4leon1.
Cool pinball machine. I'll have my quarters ready on my next visit. Get your practice in before the high score belongs to ME. ha-ha, tee-hee, chuckle-chuckle, LOL !!
Good looking machine, so many machines of that age are little rough.. Have you had this game long?
Thanks for stopping by Dan, I've had this about a month, the lady I bought this from her father had bought it new in 1971 and he passed away a couple of years ago and she did not have room for it anymore. It came with all the papers, warranty, schematics, extra bulbs, extra keys, really a great find and a great price. I updated a better pic of the graphics, it really shows the condition of the machine. Thanks again!
Very nice!! I can't believe I missed this when you posted it!
That's ok, I do that all the time, I wonder how I missed things too! Thanks
