Here it is; the choice of a new generation.

This is not your run of the mill over produced pinball machine. It’s your big hair, don’t care, neon light, 80’s priced, 5 ball multi-ball music pin. Only 1600 of these gnarly machines were produced and this one includes the factory original iconic boombox topper.

If that’s not unique enough for you, you’ll note the Bally/Midway generic cab art, hot pink playfield art instead of orange as well as the space on the playfield for a drop target in front of the ramp. This was all part of an early prototype run. The core music in this pin is a drum track and base line. You as the player fill in the lead guitar riffs by hitting shots. Each switch triggers part of a riff and the duration of the ball sounds like a guitar solo. The secondary flipper buttons let you play attract mode and when the game is in play toggle via the JAM lanes. Coin mechs and tray not included.

This players condition machine has had the following just completed:
  • Everything on the top playfield removed for a thorough cleaning
  • All rubbers replaced with new translucent rubbers
  • All bulbs and flashers changed over to new DRAPL LEDs
  • New flipper bats and rubbers
  • All new buttons. Start button and main flipper buttons light up
  • Powder coated grey sparkle side rails, lock down bar and legs
  • New locks
  • New leg protectors
  • New leg levellers
  • New T-molding
  • New carbon steel balls
  • New shooter rod
  • Waxed playfield

Asking a righteous $3950 + a bag of Hostess chips
No trades. Garage pickup for easy loading. Includes a copy of the manual.

I loved collecting WWF stickers back in late 1987 from Hostess chips. I remember the machine insert screwed up and i received about 5 stickers...felt like a CHAMP!
