My Dracula machine is on the "to do" list to be restored, but is set up and working at the moment. All other machines fully restored
Thought it was time i put up some pics, so here thay are!!
-
How does Roller Disco play? I had my eye on one that Mark C had but it got snapped up.
-
Its probably my fav sys1 game. some people say the game play is a bit slow but i reckon if the flippers are set up just right its awesome to play. The gap between the flippers is a bit more than most sys1 games but with practise (and luck!) the ball can be bounced back up off the post between the flippers. I like the way it saves the bonus multipliers on extra ball.. lets you score some big points!

Hey Mitch, sys 1 fans are always welcome!

They say the same thing about Genie...I restored one a while ago and after it was finished, it was not slow.. One of the most under rated pins - best system 1 machine I've played.
-
Genie... now thats a game id like to own one day. I've never played one but from the pics i've seen the pf looks like it'd be fun, and i just LOVE the bg artwork!! Im a big fan of the old sys1 gottliebs. Played a fair few over the years but so far i only own three.
-
Genie's appear from time to time on eBay.. Wotto did a really nice one a while ago.
It's my favorite system 1 and if you ever get a chance to play it, you will be hooked.
-
What's the hoo ha I hear about it being a slow clunker? There seem to be conflicting reports out there. Seems to be a love/hate with some people. Personally I love the way it looks. Never played one though.

Yeah was thinking the same thing - Mitch have you resprayed all your pins? !@#

Hey Mich
sweet looking line-ups! Like the way you have put them in 'order'. You just need to lash out and get some Stern coin door stickers to finish off those classic Sterns #*#
cheers

They looks sweet mate, can you ballpark a time how many hours one of your reprays takes?
-
Very nice ^^^
-

A ballpark figure? from start to finish painting a cab, for me somewhere between 15 - 30 hours depending how beat up the cab is and how much repair work is needed, and how complicated the stencilled designs on the cab and backbox are.
I can remember taking about three hours to trace and cut out just one cab side stencil for one of my games! Stencils for 6MDM and Buck Rogers took the longest to make. Mibs was the quickest to do even considering it had NO original artwork to trace! I had to make those ones just from pictures of the game found on IPDB
-
My local arcade had a Klondike it was by far my favorite this I would buy! ^^^
-
A very nice line up indeed. In great condition.
Well done. $#$
