$20,000 Pinball
« on: May 31, 2010, 05:58:56 PM »
Was at a party on the weekend and an old mate comes up to me and started to chit chat ,he heard that I collect Pinballs and he was excited to tell me that his mate bought one of the rarest Pinball ever produced .
Bought it from down south and had it shipped up QLD,paying a whopping $20,000 for it .
Stone a crow a said to him, what the hell did he buy ??.
With my mouth full of Beer "A Coca-Cola Pinball", he said.
Well let the Beers Fly ,right across the room . ^&^
WTF a Coca-Cola Pinball ?
Yep he says .

Can anyone shed some light on this ?

sounds like a redcal job to me too

Many beer manufacturers have redecalled pins before, sounds like this is what coke have done?

 
Pinballs in my collection Elvira, Stern Grand Prix, Bally Corvette, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Judge Dredd, Black Rose and Data East Guns n Roses.

This is the most likely answer - there have been a number of re-decals of different machines over the years on order to advertise well-known brands.
