gigapig Posted October 11, 2013 Author Posted October 11, 2013 This is yours? I wish. No just impressed by it. The Hobbit is only $8000. www.pinballsales.com/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=97&idcategory=2
Polemicist Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 A little out of my ball park. In fact so far out of my ball park I can't see the bloody ball anymore. But damn that start sequence showing off the arcade room is like taking a kid through Willy Wonka's factory.
zomboided Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 That pinball is a thing of beauty...every time I think I should build a video pinball, I play a classic and realise that I'm never gonna recreate the joy. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

But damn that start sequence showing off the arcade room is like taking a kid through Willy Wonka's factory. So you've never watched "John's Arcade" before? I've watched some and it's both interesting and absolutely gutting to see that basement, Because I want one. Better start digging And he lives close to Funspot so you get to see round that as well. Well worth subscribing too. That pinball is a thing of beauty...every time I think I should build a video pinball, I play a classic and realise that I'm never gonna recreate the joy. It would be nice to own a few real ones and 1 digital table, just to have the whole experience. I loved that glass and the crystal ball, very clever.
Polemicist Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 First time seeing that arcade. Inspiring and depressing at the same time.
loppydog Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I plan on buying the WOZ machine someday. I have a couple Sterns I am planning on selling to fund it.

Perhaps you can follow the yellow brick Road and swap the great and powerful OZ, 2 Sterns for 1 of his tables. For me it's just a dream. Toto! Here boy, fetch my ruby slippers.

langersld Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Now thats a pinball table...... Unfortunately the closest thing im getting to the OZ table at the moment is this.....
Polemicist Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Leo that is some damn sweet pinball action. Be easy to nudge without tilting.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]33489[/ATTACH] How the hours must just fly by, Leo. Is that wool? I'm unravelling last years Christmas jumper right now. That's what this forum needs, more wool.
horseyhorsey Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Have had the chance to play this. The best thing about it is imo lol,the bumper ball save thingy on the bottom left where you can nudge into the pop bumper to light the leaf switches to save your ball. Missing the center ramp and hearing that bell is annoying after 2 minutes. Of the 2/3 balls i played I think I managed to tilt it twice, I do like to nudge a fair bit but most machines are more forgiving. Weed Me!

gigapig Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 I haven't got all the way through this yet, but very interesting to see these older machines. Joe Newhart seems like a nice guy and his company is distributing for Jersey Jack pinball.
