I've had an itch lately to get a pinball machine. Anyone have any experience in buying/selling and shipping these things?

If you've got one, would love to see pictures. Also looking for suggestions of what to buy. Used to love playing Pinbot, but haven't been able to find one for sale. I'm also partial to the old electro-mechanical machines and the noise they make.

I am sure our UTC mall in Sarasota has them for sale. I can check.

OK Bozos, stop clowning around.

Tampa Pool Tables - Robertson Billiards

Scroll to pinball link. I recall them being really helpful when I went there a few years ago

Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball. from Soho down to Brighton, I musta played them all. But I ain't seen nothin' like him in any amusement hall. That deaf dumb and blind kid...sure plays a mean pinball.

Ive got one, DUH its a mustang theme. Done a few years ago, for mustang's 50th, Camilo Pardo (one of the FGT designers) was commissioned to do the art work. Made by Sterns, but long out of production.

Shipping was on a pallet, the upper display folds down to the playfield glass, the legs come off, and it's stood up on its back (the part that faces the wall) so it fits on a normal pallet.

I have the "pro"

Thanks Dale, I'll also check the other link when I get a chance.

Anyone have a favorite they played? I'd really like to have a fun pin to play, not just something run of the mill.

**** Inslee, NO MORE MASKS!

we have a Taxi pinball machine at the grandparents place in NC. We've had to have board work done a couple times by a place in Charlotte. I need to have it fixed again actually (one of the round bumpers in the triangle pattern up top isn't working). This time I will put a power conditioner/battery backup unit on it as well, probably should have done that from the start.
