I like it a lot.

Spent a fair bit of time on one back in the day.

2 banks of drop targets, 4 pop bumpers, The orbit shot around the back of the drops is cool. Plus the excellent art and chimes. Cant go wrong really.

It is a classic Bally SS. You can't go wrong. Great artwork IMHO.

A classic Bally - you simply can't go wrong with a MH. Artwork is beautiful on this machine, and it has a "different" sort of theme. From a playability point of view - Bally kept things simply on the game, and I'm convinced they "borrowed" some of "Gottlieb's" playfield design (Spirit of 76 anyone?)

Fantastic machine, and a welcome addition to any collection - and certainly, if it is the only Bally in a collection - it would be a good choice.

Mata Hari IMO has one of the best BG ever, what a pair this girl has.

Paul, is it worth asking these guys if they would accept an offer?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260426830492

This was the $3500 one that dropped to $1500 during the auction and looks like they need it gone, maybe worth a try?
