Nice timing!  Looks like a very tidy Flash - they usually got a very solid workout back in the day and it is hard to find one with a good playfield.

cheers

The previous owner put a decal over the bonus inserts as that part was a bit worn around the super flash and he put a layer of Mylar from the flippers up to the pop bumpers. Since I got it last year I put new lane guides, new pop bumper skirts, new drop target decals, and a new belt kit with yellow flipper rubbers. I wanted it to look the same as the Williams Flash Flyer.

Flash is easily my favorite SYS4/6 machine, and this particular game is one of the better ones I've seen. Looks to be in great condition  ^^^

VERY nice playfield indeed!!  *%* ^^^

My own Flash thats waiting patiently in the resto queue has a pretty nice PF too, only wear is a slight bit of flipper wear, the rest is in really nice shape. Just the cabinet is pretty shabby, and backglass has some fading, flaking paint.

the other more concerning issue is that it wont boot up.. just a flicker on the displays as it tries to come on, then nothing  ^&^ i'll get onto it one day, its currently dismantled along with some of my other games ready to move house.

Very nice PinPal ... Flash is my very first machine, but not quite as "Flash" as yours.  Already on the look out for a project Flash so that I can keep playing while restoring.   *%*

thank-you,, I have had lots of pinball machines over the years but the one I always wanted was a good Williams FLASH. I was lucky to find this one on e-Bay last year. I paid 2,grand for it but it was in very good condition for a flash. I will be holding on to this one for a while.. 19'500 Flash pinball where made back in the 70s so one will always turn up working or just a project... Good luck with you're search.
