There is/was one for sale in Sydney earlier this year when Tony posted a huge list of games for sale. $1500 i think.  !@#

The dude on the backglass creeps me out  %.%

Also the 2 Player version of this is called FLiCKER (with the lower case i) as apposed to FLICKER which from a distance could look like something else  &&

It's a rare game here in Australia (funny enough)...the one Michael had for sale was an import from the US.....the eBay one looks like it's in excellent condition and full marks to the seller for a full length description....but forget KISS, PLAYBOY – this is a collectable pinball  :lol

Anyone familiar with the excellent US TV show called "Weeds" would have noticed a customised pinny at the start of the show a couple of weeks ago. It started life as a Boomerang. I'll see if i can rip the 10 seconds of footage later and post it here  *%*

I can see "1 Or 2 Can Play" in the bottom right of the glass, and above that there are the letters "SERS" which you'd imagine are the last 4 letters of the title  :lol

I have a feeling it might be another custom job, as the art below the reels looks really brushed on, and also the way the GI shines through just doesnt look right.

Sorry Rod,

She is a 2 player Gottlieb EM  @.@

Yeah she is a custom as I would be able to tell what game it was....pity nearly all Gottlieb 2 player EMs have their score reels in the same position, though if you really want to limit it I reckon it is a game from around 1970 - 71
