Hankin FJ Holden pinball for sale in Coolangatta QLD
« on: May 08, 2009, 12:08:12 PM »
I was in Coolangatta last weekend with my family and spotted a Hankin FJ Holden pin for sale in the Big Boys Toys collectable shop in the main shopping part of Coolangatta.

They are asking $3,500 for it, its in good condition and was turned off so I never had a game.

Just thought I'd post it here in case anyone is chasing a true classic aussie pin.

That game has been for sale for like 3 or 4 years  :lol

All of the Hankin games are in excellent condition.....this game is so  ((( ((( to play.

Still if you owned a FJ would look cool in the garage

They had 3 or 4 games from the same vintage a few years ago....can't remember the titles (except for the FJ) but they were all pricey.

Good luck to them

Apparently they are owned by an northern nsw ex-operator/collector who has 80 or so pins, and he just sells off the odd pinball on consignment at that shop. Everytime I have visited this shop he has different titles?

With the Wintersun festival fast approaching maybe a hot rod/classic car fan might purchase this pin? !@#

havent seen one of these for a while , i am told at car auctions they go for way more than that
i had a guy ring for one and say he missed one at a car auction for TEN grand 

I have played this and to me  its very boring  but i guess for a FJ nut  they would just want one

Great result TEN grand for a FJ pin.

He will probably get $3,500 for his pin with the Wintersun later this month

Great looking pin.

This was the first ever SS I played when I was a very young chap.

About 10 years ago those Hankin pins were everywhere and real cheap also.

Have really dried up in that time, suppose like all pins  @.@

I'm not that familiar with Hankins, did they use imported GTB hardware or was it all made in Aus?
