I’m selling this on kijiji for $1000. I’ll let it go for $900 to pbrev members

This is a rare game with unique rules unlike any other pinball machine. Instead of 3 balls per game, you play against the timer, adding time to the clock by hitting various switches. you collect your bonus by shooting the top left saucer instead of when a ball drains. If the ball drains it stops the clock until you plunge the next ball. If the timer runs out and you drain a ball it’s game over.


Great “players quality” game, it’s rough around the edges cosmetically, this thing won’t win any beauty contests. Everything works on the game and it’s been fully led’d. Mechanical it’s a solid game. Displays are original and very bright. Rubbers are fairly new. The game hasn’t been shopped, but it plays great. I have the manual, a repair guide, and the games original sales flyer.

It you want a solid game to play the crap outta then this is a good candidate. If your looking for a pristine collectors piece, then keep looking, this isn’t a game for you. I’m not sugar coating anything here and I don’t want someone to try and lowball me because of the games condition.


The cons.

Left side backbox is decal gone.

The remaining Cabinet decals in average condition.

Original backglass is lost. (I had a reproduced translight made.)

Pop bumper caps should be replaced there busted and screwed in place (available at Marco Specialties)

Playfield plastics have some chips and cracks.

The cabinet side rails are lightly dinted (it looks like the backbox slammed down at some time in the past)

Playfield has some minor damage, but very little paint loss (you can see it in the pics, below the left flipper and to the left of the top right flipper.)

My first ever machine. Oh nostalgia. If I hadn't just bought a pin, I might have gone for this. Fun game if it's in a lineup of several games. Glws

Ya, the biggest problem with this game is that if it’s your only game it will get boring quick. But it complements a large collection very well because of the fresh unique gameplay.

It can be setup so that the timer counts down very quickly making it very hard to keep a game alive, or it can be setup easy so that the time ticks by slowly giving you a chance to add even more time to the clock. For a beginner it can be nice to have a game that lasts more then just a minute or two and if you drain quickly and often the clock stops, so your not under the pressure of having only 3 balls.
