Well done mate - much better than KISS.

good one Paul, i think i would rather the BH instead of the kiss, but i wouldn't knock back a kiss (pinball machine) for the right price.
cheers Ian
-
Congratulations Paul - Fair price for both the buyer / seller - and it is the US version - mirrored backglass etc.
Now if you restored the KISS and sold it - then you could have both the BH and HH !
-
great deal paul,
wow you lucky bugger a BH & Kiss in 2 weeks, good work.... #*#
-
Now if you restored the KISS and sold it - then you could have both the BH and HH !
Now THERE is a DAMN fine idea right there *)*
-
Good stuff...Great looking machine. I've never played one that I can remember but looks very cool!
The last machine I bought from PBJ/BCW was my Simpsons which was cleaned up very nicely and very well shopped.
-
Congrats again mate!! i just wonder which ones you will have to get rid of now ....
-
Well where the hell could you find a HH from anyway???

Paul,
If somebody had told you 2 weeks ago you would have both bought KISS and Black Hole in that time what would you have told them? *.*
Mate - you never know what might pop up! *%*
-
I would have told them a HH as well...lol
-
I would have told them a HH as well...lol
funnier things have happened
I was looking for a HH and Spirit for YEARS - ask Marco (Pinfan).
Then MarkC / Childs found me EXACTLY what I wanted - a Project Haunted House AND Spirit. I even bought a second Spirit as a "BIG Project", and a Force II. So ASK and you shall find.

No comment ! <.> :D

Congrats on your score.
Looks a great machine too. Always love BH, so much so in fact Iv'e got 3 of them. All needing a full resto job of course, but when they have been sorted out properley are a great fun game to play.
Now, if only I could find a HH ( like everyone else here obviously ) then they would look great side by side.
Possible swap anyone ?? %.% %.%

Ok Ive been told that the Black hole that im getting has the spinning disk backglass...and the sounds work fine..
Just it has no speech...bit of a bummer but not the end of the world I guess...

Should it have speech? Is this a fault? Was the fault mentioned in the listing? Not trying to stir trouble, but you paid a fair price for the machine Paul.
edit: Notable Features: Flippers (6), Pop bumpers (6), 5-bank drop targets (1), 4-bank drop targets (2), 3-bank drop targets (1), Kick-out holes (2), Horseshoe lane (1), Rollunder spinner (1). Backglass animation (rotating disc, non-export only). First machine to offer a lower playfield sloped away from the player with the flippers at the backbox end. Multiball and speech (non-export only).
edit: So as it was listed as 100% working you are entitled to ask for compensation for the S/B repair, unless your happy.
-
Might be a Export model with the spinning disk added later in it's life?.
Also has the 3 coin slot door which is unusual in US machines, or is that just modern stuff?.
If the disk has been added, is it possible to add speech as well?. Not really up to speed on Gottlieb sys80, so dunno.
Edit: Bit of detective work shows that the machine was exported to Germany "1 Mark" "2 Marks" etc on the coin door.
-
It should have Speech - It is definitely a "non US" model - Dual Backglass, chaser lights etc.
The Euro versions I've seen have a different Door and an inscription on the coin faceplate and sometimes the lock down bar.
So it IS either missing the speech board or it is broken.
-
Damn...when you look at it like this....

There sure is a shitload of stuff in a Black hole...
well speech non-export only...Im not that worried about it as it doesnt say much anyway...and can look into it later...

Could be as simple as missing the SC 01 chip.

An easy fix !

I would have had the Black Hole on Friday but due to a driver taking a sicky I didnt get it....
BUT
MONDAY IS BLACK HOLE DAY.....
Cant wait...
-
MONDAY IS BLACK HOLE DAY.....
Cant wait...
In a cosmic sense, that sounds scary.
Hope the pin lives up to your expectations.
-
Post pics, Paul. Looking forward to it.
-
will do...
and yes I hope it lives up to its rep as well...
still its one I LOVED back in the day...and thats from me..yes I was a VIDEO head back in the day
-
The wife has told me the Black Hole is in the Garage.....she had to help the truck driver carry it into the garage....she says i owe her a bunch of flowers....told her I will give her first game on it instead...lol...
Cant wait to get a game on it later today...cool.
-
Excellent, looking forward to the report on the game and your initial impressions. I had a game just then on my BH (actually three games, first two I sucked) in honour of your new arrival!

:lol

Mate knowing how she plays she probably has the highest score on it already!
-
Ok got it setup...turned it on....and the displays where all on 8's....and no sound....damn...
Opened it up and gave the connectors a wiggle...bobs your uncle...all good...
machine looks VERY nice for its age...only minor playfield wear....bottom plastic over the flippers is broken...backglass spinner works but a little noisy...may install a switch for it to turn it on and off as I please...
flippers play GREAT...nice and strong...
Bummer but it has the WRONG SIZE playfield glass on the machine....its not wide enough...not happy about that but not the end of the world...
had a couple of games on it....just want to know how do you reset the Black drop targets??I knock them all down and they stay down...anyway will work it out....will put up some pics soon..
-
Ok have it all up and running 100%....and seems the playfield glass is the right size....but the cab has expanded out a little....and it can be pushed back in...will look into that later....
PLAYS GREAT....

will add more pics later....
-
Looking very nice there - certainly a winner. I'd forgotten about the blue displays on this machine which do set it apart.
With the cabinet expanding, is this due to moisture damage do you think?
-
Very nice, Paul !
Now try for multiball !
-
one very nice pinball paul, the blue displays look great, thanks for sharing the pics #*#
-
dont think it is due to moisture...cab is very solid.....damn maybe the glass is the wrong size...anyway not sure now...lol...
Yeah I got Multiball up once so far...hard to do...best multiball ever....way different than any other machine...crazy to have balls on both playfields at once..
-
...best multiball ever.....
You said it! A real effort needed to achieve it, it's like a Wizard Mode payoff in a modern game it's so satisfying!
-
Here you go...just took some more pics...

Make sure you remove those pop bumper myler disks they do more damage than good (and look crap anyway).
