I would not call these ‘Grail’ pins, as they are not rare or special
But my collection will not be complete with out two Williams EM machines; Grand Prix and Space Odyssey
The two games that I first remember playing

Hard to top Fathom as a rare pin, Pete  !@#

Rocket Ship would be near impossible to find (I know of one local to me).

A true "Holy Grail" would be like finding the fountain of youth - or the pinball equivalent - which could be a Fathom, or a Mermaid.

Grand Prix and Space Odyssey are EASY to locate and would not be much of a challenge. They are more "sentimental" machines for you  ?

Sorry, I was refering to the game I nominated
Who am I to knock the games other people seek?

Don't worry, I read it as the games Pete wants are not rare or special, but he wants them.

I was keen on your interpretation of a "Holy Grail" pinball. I know you would not be knocking other Holy Grail machines - and the offer is always open to play my finished Fathom  ^^^

I suppose I don't really have a 'Grail pin' at the moment

I have bought a NIB Stern
I will have the limited edition when WOZ comes out
Most games prior to '74 do not interst me much (but a 'Teachers Pet' is on my 'wants' list)
Everything else will come up for sale at one time or another

I suppose a proto-type game would be cool, but one would have to import it from the USA,
(eight ball deluxe or Flash Gordon with the bigger blue displays)

Mine is Elvira And The Party Monsters in top condition, and a good Williams Firepower.

Paragon for looks
Monster bash for the wife
Cv for looks and maybe gameplay will try martyj's machine to get a feel for gameplay
Spiderman stern because I always seem to have a good game and fun
Still loving my Metallica Premium
