I've not seen a "pool sharks" for years. I really like the other Bally/Midway games (Strange Science, Special Force, Escape from the Lost World, Radical and Breakwater100).

Rare game and you will really enjoy it once you get it up and running.

Not many Bally/Midways were imported in the old days, hence their rarity.

Well guys the road trip is almost over.  We picked up the pokie from Ed this morning so a big thankyou to Ed I'm really exited about doin this one up what a classic looking machine.

     Man am I glad I pocked this up myself I'm sure a courier would have left it man there heavy so thanks again Ed for the lift and demolishing your fence to make the job easier.

   And must comment on Eds machines he has the nicest space invaders I've ever seen there is a nice firepower aswell and also a Pinbot restored by some hack in thomastown  !*! %$%. (still looks great Nino)

   Thanks again Ed your a star

Cool you've collected the pokie daniel, yes these machines are bloody heavy, I remeber me & Gav trying to squash my Bally pokie into my little corolla, couldn't fit it into the boot tho.

Hey are you going to do a Bally pokie resto thread when you restore this, as many of us pinheads here would learn alot about restoring a pokie machine.
