Was it a Roller Disco?  !@#

Doesn't look like a wide body and doesn't have the same pop bumper arrangement.

Anyways - cool video Rod, thanks for posting

Roller Disco did not have a spinner, nor did it have a hole in the centre of playfield above the flippers like this one.  If it is RD has been modified.

Actually after checking it out for a fourth time I reckon you are right Matt.

Roller Disco was actually a cool game while it was on location  *%*

Rates a high 7.7 on the IPDB: http://www.ipdb.org/rate/showrate.pl?gid=2005

Freeze the video at the 8 second mark. I reckon thats a wide body by the looks of the apron. Definitely Gottlieb with the large and small instruction cards.

Also when you freeze it at the 22 sec mark, you'll see that the 20k bonus light has been replaced with an eject hole. They have replaced the 2 stand ups infront of the 3 bumpers with the apple looking contraption lol. Also you can see where the 5 roll over buttons used to be.

Yepp the spinner and the kickout hole in the middle had me wondering what the hell it was, lol. the rest looks pretty much the same layout, so if it indeed IS A roller Disco someone went to a fair bit of trouble modifying this one... or WRECKING it i should've said!

Out of the three sys1 games i own Roller Disco is my favourite of the three.

Mate, would you be able to tell me if the flouro colors on games like Roller Disco and Bally Black Jack etc react and glow under black light?. If it does, it would look SO cool.
