Just a test to see if this will work from my phone

But it worked for anyone wanting to do the same

Cool game. Not in the same league as Black Knight, but fun to play. Reminds me of Jungle Lord. I think if you had Pharaoh, Black Knight, Jungle Lord and Solar Fire you would be a very happy WMS 7 collector !

don't forget LASERCUE,nino

Did any Solar Fires even make it to Australia?

Not that I know of. I've known of three that made it over from Europe in the last 10 years. I think the theory is that Williams threw everything at Black Knight just before the video age took over. Then Williams did a similar job on Jungle Lord, but it tanked, and operators didn't buy it. Now that the pinball landscape had changed, Pharaoh didn't get the numbers . They tried another run of Black Knight in desperation and then finally Solar Fire had a small run. A shame, as Solar fire looks to be a better title than Black Knight and is sought after.

Strangely I can remember finding more Pharoah on location than Black Knights

It's a project that will take a while to get right, playfield is rough and needs a touch up but it's all there.
It's my first system 7 and I'm looking forward to getting another. Black knight will be next if I can find one that's not too bad and hasn't been dodged up too much, I like to keep original and not swap for rotten dog etc.
Well I'm happy to be here and look forward to helping and getting help from other pin heads ^^^

Had a mate who had a Pharoah and must admit, I didn't mind the game play at all.. lots of upper level action to get a decent score. The amount of plastics in this game though always did concern me.. theres a lot of them, but in saying that, they seem to hold up well.
Nice game.. is this the one off Ebay? There were 2 up for grabs.. just like buses.. don't see one then along come 2!
I like WMS SS machines to work on.. first SS game I ever got going from dead was FLASH... bout time I got myself another WMS to fix up I reckon!

Yeah was an eBay find from a local guy moving interstate, he had a black night too but I missed that one by a few bucks. The poor bugger had a container full of pins that got eaten by termites he must have lost 20 to the little buggers :( lost a beautiful pharaoh that was going to go into the restoration of the one got, so in the deal I got a full set of second plastics beautiful new side rails etc.
Finding it a joy to work with and I'm loving the fact my first not running project is a big part of pinball history.
Got new eproms coming and I've cleaned the CPU (no alkaline damage) so looking good for a run soonish I hope

For some reason, a couple of operators in Sydney's George St. had about 7 Pharaohs each and I never saw a big crowd playing them. BKs were scattered with only one at each arcade.

There's an NOS Pharaoh playfield on Pinside at the moment for only $2500.
