I picked this up. I don't know what it is but I am into System 11 again. There are a few that interest me but I lately have the feeling I am going to pull a "Medvet" on Sys 11 with the exception of having an area to set them up.

Man what a big head. I have looked at them before but each time I see one of these the head just looks huge. It's full of flashers and the lights sequence along the gun so it is really a sight to see. Always wanted to have one just like Space Station but it is a target of opportunity type title for me.

Fun game that plays really fast. The catapults work amazingly well and the backglass game is actually meaningful to the overall game. Dual sets of flippers, bg animation (game), catapults, flashers galore, drop targets, post and a novel head. It is a really kinetic game for sure with some interesting rules.

I got a complete NOS set of plastics with the exception of the molded cannon ones from the guy. Even has the promo slingshots NOS in there but I am still trying to figure out which direction they go and where. There are a couple of stickers too that are identical to these plastics but stickers. Anyway I am pretty impressed with the goodies... (doesn't take much to impress me when it comes to pinball I guess. )

It's it really good shape all things considered. I will shop and may super-shop this one with a CC pf just because it's a really fast game but the pf really isn't that bad the way it stands.







Side art reminds me of this image from the original Alien movie.

Nope, it's on the driveway. I am moving stuff around in the garage to make it work for now. BG is probably going to go somewhere until I can get WW finished. WW I am awaiting a handful of parts to get back onto it. This isn't going to get any major tear down until WW is done.

Just fixed some switch issues on BG (diode and connections on a couple of things had four switches not registering). Other than that I have the display panel out for some cleaning and gluing the displays back down to the stand-offs.

Nice score, Glen. Fun game. Like Medvet and now yourself, I really enjoy the Sys. 11 pins. Great variety and all very original.

Cheers,
Duane

Do you know something I don't? $700 is an awesome deal for it.... but I didn't get it for that.

$300 would have been a spectacular one and $50 would have been outrageous. If he had paid me to take it, it would have been absolutely heavenly.
