Yeah... WAY overpriced!

You can't go wrong with the early electronic Bally's, many good games, and parts are still available. Also, there's lots of repair information about them too.

Unless of course you want something older...

I guess it`s one of those things you know you want as soon as you see it.I really enjoyed playing the 8 ball we had.So maybe something around that age.

That era is my favorite;

Black Jack, Strikes and Spares, 8 Ball, Star Trek, Supersonic, Evel Knievel, KISS, Playboy, Night Rider, Paragon, Space Invaders, Fathom, Medusa, Flash Gordon

Behind Melbourne, I presume! Hi From Melbourne and good luck with hunting down an 8-Ball. I am hoping for an 8-Ball Deluxe myself - just need to find one at the right price.

I've been given an indicative price of $4,000 for a fully-shopped Eight Ball Deluxe, but I am hoping to pick one up a bit cheaper than that. There was one on Ebay recently went for $2,125 with a fault but looked good.

A fully restored EBD may command that kind of price. Depends on the demand. I'd wait it out and a cheaper option will present itself.

Yes, I'm waiting on the second Silverball container - might be just in time for Christmas! Anyway, his offer of lay-by appeals to me as I am trying to fund the hobby from a junk mail and local newspaper round ($50-$70 per week). I'll see what he has left on the first one as well, as I am keen to get my hands on a pin.
