Dan

I know it' s a good game but it' s been so long I did' nt see one I just can' t rate it to compare with my other machines

guide= 1775 with a + trend

thanks for the price list hyan

The 2008 guide has $1950 (prototype - thanks Hyan).

1950$ Tommy 1993, production 8 or 9 (prototype art)
other 1750$ Tommy 1994...  

I have read about em chime like in time machine in tommy but in the prototype if so can the chime box be aded to a normal production machine ?

I am realy thinking of selling a couple of game to get a tommy that machine look real cool

And there is a really nice Tommy for sale here in Toronto, one of the TOPL members. (also listed on the Toronto CL)  Asking on CL is $1900.

I think the seller is behind the times.

I BOUGHT THIS MACHINE LAST WEDNESDAY.....


Tommy .....SOLD SOLD SOLD.

I think Doug ( Tuborg ) might have one for sale, though...


Dan

Yes I do have one that is "available".   I have not posted if for sale anywhere, but photos are available here:

tuborg did you get the playfield ?

No - there's 2 hours left, but its @ $340 and the seller does not want to ship - 30 hour drive round trip is a bit much:

I personally think Tommy is a great game!

It was enough to bring me to the dark side...Data East!

I have a question for other Tommy owners. Is the right hand ramp shot hard on all machines OR is my upper flipper in need of a rebuild?

I can get the ball through the gate and up the ramp alot, but then it usually rolls back down, only about 2 out 5 clean shots make it all the way around that whole ramp. It seems pretty tough compared to the left hand ramp, which seems to be easy to make at will from the bottom right flipper. I was thinking maybe my machine has more than a 6.5 deegree playfield angle and gravity is working against me... I'm going to check it tonight OR the upper flipper may get rebuilt. We'll see. Input please...

Dan

I have troubles aiming/hitting the right ramp - but when I hit it it usually makes it way around from what I recall.   I'll try tonight and confirm - I do know that I don't make that ramp often - but I think that's a skill thing - as its a pretty tight ramp for me.

I have the game set fairly shallow - 6-degrees - if that makes a difference.

Doug.

I have another DE question while we're talking about Tommy.

Did Data East ever have a coin door sticker/decal?

Thanks,

Dan
