I don't know what came over me, but I just could not turn this game down. Pretty decent given it's age. Some anticipated insert wear etc. but overall I think it is great project material for a game this age.
Topper works. Displays are really quite good. Strong flips and everything looks to be there and working, including the diagnostic keypad and an aftermarket metal partical separator guide still in the box.
I really am interested in shopping it, but I have to go away for a month. That and the fact I will have to sell something if I do keep it to have room for it. Yes I may part with a WPC just to add variety to my collection.
If I don't do it I will pass on my deal to someone I know will take good care of it.

I am sure it was partly inspired by the 1985 film. 1985 Weird Science is released. 1986 Strange Science. Both have themes of experimentation on women. Coincidence?

Doubt this theme would fly today.
Mad scientist theme... sure.... MB.
Trivia tidbit for Strange Science not many people seem to know... The scientist on the backglass was based on the face of actor Lance LeGault, best known for his role as Col.Decker on the A-Team.
So you're the one that nabbed that off Kijiji! Very cool looking machine.. I was surprised at how old it is, it looks like a newer game. Pretty good art on it, and a very cool topper.

congrats!
It's all MrHide's fault. He made me go get it.
In all seriousness. I have looked at this title for years and turned one down promptly that I saw offered locally for $1200 about 3 years ago in pretty rough shape. Being one of the resident 80's pin experts, I asked Phil about it, price etc. and he was interested too. So in the end I figured I would take it because I have yet to see a decent one come up for a decent price. So this way it gets an oddball machine into the group.
If I don't shop it, it goes to Phil, unless he isn't in a position at the time.
What's with the cabinet art? Was it originally that generic? Or is it some kind of generic decal replacement?
The game looks WICKED though, I'm super jealous. I'm a science nerd, so I'd totally go for that. I'll add it to my 'list'.

Allot of bally machines of the time had that. Like lady luck moterdome off the top of my head. I guess it saved money before selling not sure
Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
