What era of pinball are you after? Space/Rocket themed pins have been around since the 1950s.

Lots of cool games from the 1950/60/70 era with that theme

Does your Skylab work as it should?

Just a word of warning though - you get another pin and they will breed like rabbits  *%*

lol

The earlier the better!!

Anyone got any leads??

My skylab is behaving well, the spacelab special scoring isn't working right though. Waiting for the manual/schematics to investigate further. Also a few so-so globe sockets but all will be addressed in time. Just had a flipper rebuild kit arrive too.

Welcome Astroboy, glad to have you aboard! I also have a love of the space theme/sci-fi games - got five that fit that category (but not rockets exactly). I have an absolute fascination with rocketry and about 50 documentary movies about the various manned missions - it's a real passion with me too. Even used to fly a few rockets many years ago, just the hobby store ones, but boy they were fun!

I build real rockets with the noise and the flame and stuff. Good wholesome fun. I will post up something in the games room to illustrate..

Do you shoot them up in the air at Jimboomba?

My 2 youngest want me to take them down there one day when they are launching some. They love that movie October Sky.

A bit of useless info for you - Our neighbours are the parents of the two guys who invented the scramjet #*#
