Buck Rogers on ebay (SA)
« on: October 09, 2009, 08:46:58 PM »
Saw this Buck Rogers on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Buck-Rogers-Gottlieb-Pinball-Machine-1978_W0QQitemZ380165447106QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_15?hash=item5883a05dc2&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Although I love my Gottlieb EMs, I have been tempted to get something like this. This one is too far away to consider.
What do thers think of it?
Wanted: GTB Aquarius backglass. Any playfield bits and backglasses from any EMs - nothing is junk to me.

System 1 games are essentially EMs anyway - well they play like an EM. I would be asking more questions about the condition of the game - especially the comments that "the game does not start". Might be a bit more sinister than just the coin / credit buttons not working. I would just double check. I like BR - good playfield layout and cool art.

Yeah I also rate this game, enjoyed playing it on location and play it alot when visiting my brother in law.

She already has a bid....I also doubt the problem would be more than "money mechanism at fault"

This one sneaks into my wish pin list sometimes. I love the artwork, and played the game on location as it was the one sitting next to Nugent. I was a huge Buck Rogers fan, but I seldom played the pin, as Nugent was a much better player.
