I've been looking for that game for a while.

I drove 1500km back and forth yesterday to get it, was really worth it!

The good:  
- Very solid PF, little wear around 2 holes
- 100% working condition, nice DMD
- CAB in very OK condition (dammed hole for the safety lock bar)
- Price was fair
- I got a "freebie" at the Canadian border!
- Blinder components present (probably need just to be adjust)

The bad:
- Missing Topper (could easily get something to make one, not original but should look good)
- Translite to be changed in the future (the bottom is "gummed" to the glass, tried to slowly removed it but paint is sticking on the glass and I stopped right away)
- Some crack plastics (set is available on EBAY)
- Very dirty, need a deep cleaning.


A very special thank to a MAACA member who notified minutes after the AD was released.  Without him, I would not be the owner of that game today!  HUUUUUGE THANK you!!!!  I hope I can offer you a couple drinks some day!

La cigarette est une addiction mauvaise pour la santé , mais avec beaucoup de volonté e d ' efforts , tu peux réussir à arrêter . Les machines à boules n ' ont aucun effet néfaste sur la santé , mais par contre , un coup infecté , il n ' y a aucune cure à l addiction ...  

Bienvenue dans le hobby !  

PS. belle acquisition !!!

This is one of my favourite games... It's been in my collection the longest.  Good choice.

Helpful Hints:

1) if the blinders are working properly but the stick, it is probably a slightly bent apron (people pick-up the playfield using teh apron... not a good idea with a tommy.
2) If the blinders do not work, you can buy a new blinder control board on one of the pinball sites.. (can't recall which one... maybe pinball life?)
3) Not too many mods for this machine, but new airplane propellers are a must (in my opinion).  You can buy them from ebay for about $10.
4) The topper is easy.  use an 8" chrome garden gazing ball.  I bought mine from ebay for about $20.  Drill a hole in the bottom, add an anchor bolt, add a brace bar to the TOMMY head, screw in.. good as new (at least no one will ever know the dif.)
5) This is the second best machine Data East ever made. (GNR is the 1st)
6) I also added custom "THE WHO" decals to me stationary targets.  awesome effect.


Here are some decals that I did... just found them... actually I post them all on a separate post for all to share.
