ok priced Future Spa in Sydney?
« on: November 24, 2010, 05:51:42 PM »
Looks like a reasonably priced Future Spa selling on ebay in Sydney

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180589119742&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com.au%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm570%26_nkw%3D180589119742%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

Disclaimer:  It's not mine, I know nothing about it or the seller and have no interest in or benefit to gain from this machine!

Seller rates machine as a 6/10.
Only 2 small pics to go off.

Even at $800 im wondering just how bad the rest of the machine is?? To rate as a 6... cabinet must be shot!.

This would sell no problems with a few extra pics... unless of course we are not meant to see something

Well, someone bought it!

I think the 6/10 was for the cabinet, which wasn't pictured. Unless he was rating the machine in terms of how it ranks against other pinball machines.

A few more pics would be good, still $800 is cheap.

Plods along for a Bally. Not even 5 pop bumpers and in line targets gets me too excited on this title. They always sell cheap, so if you like the machine, I can't see it selling for much more than $950.

Amazing how Bally made some killer widebodies (Paragon, Embryon, Space Invaders, Hot Doggin'), but this title is not in the same league.

I disagree mate

The game has  'concealed' in-line drops, 2 spinners, unique outlane set ups on both sides of the game, 6 inlanes to score F-U-T-U-R-E,    a centre 'fountain of youth' target , a nice shot into the kickout saucer, a left 'gate' and yes 5 x bumpers.

Unfortunatley the theme is rather average

But I like it  @@*

Just goes to show you how pinball is such a personal thing.

I used to like playing this game back in the day,i was only about 10 years old but found it more enjoyable than kiss or playboy,have a vauge memory of liking the sound effects too,there was one at the RSL pool in dubbo and had a star trek next to it as well but as kids we prefered the future spa 20c for 5 balls was good value back then too.

Absolutely !

I used to play Future Spa often when I was younger, as it was quite common. I guess I've been "spoilt" after playing Medusa, Fathom and Paragon.

I 'd still play a game or two on Future Spa, but it does not hold my attention.
