Interflip Dragon (Melbourne)

Did anyone else notice this one? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DRAGON-a-super-rare-pinball-classic_W0QQitemZ160323261224QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_15?hash=item160323261224&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318 It's located in Box Hill South. This would have to be pretty rare in Australia, wouldn't it?

I think it's more a novelty than a collector's item.

Saw it yesterday and did google it a little out of curiosity. Doesn't sound like that much of a player's game, and woder - are the parts unique, or can Gottlieb etc be substituted?

Couldn't find much useful, except this -

Having a perspex playfield sure is different; I am guessing they use someone else's parts (coils, plungers and so on) to build the thing so one should be able to find substitutes, but it is a gamble.

From memory - you can use some GTB parts on Recel & Interflip games. Playmatic are proprietary and Segasu are WMS

More interested in the old Gottlieb cabinet and playfield standing on end in one of the photos.

Anyone know what game thats from??

Wasn't there a couple of these found NIB in Canada a few years ago?. I didn't take much notice of this auction, but the machine having electronic sounds rings a bell (pardon the pun)

That is the first thing I noticed last night - it's a Williams Zig Zag from 1964

Tony has probably owned a couple during his journey to own every EM ever made

No way - you couldn't give this title to me - ugly as art work - just total yuck!

.........and she ain't a Gottlieb

Just to let you know, this ended up at $1200. I guess the rarity factor pushed it up there.
