Title: Spy Hunter Pinball
Post by: Pop Bumper Pete on June 18, 2017, 05:27:29 PM

I picked up this Spy Hunter project
It is missing a few bits, but nothing that cannot be found
I was going to part it out, but the playfield is in fairly good condition, if I can successfully remove the mylar, I will touchup it up and clearcoat it

I wonder what happened here?
(this is the lower right flipper, similar damage is near the upper left flipper)

Fun game. I had one and sold it to a mate. It's always good to have something like this a bit different in a line up.

I remember playing vaguely back in my youth ( ahem )
might have to google this beast again as it sure looks fun and such a great video game too!

Fun game - it has a bit of a sys80b feel about it - as in the design. Bally Midway started to challenge themselves with playfield design. Definitely worth saving.

something i have noticed, Spy Hunter was made at the end of 1984, i also have an Xs & Os which was made at the start  of 1984
the amount of changes that Bally made to try to cut costs is surprising
