Hankin Shark Pinball

[The pinballist formally known as Dean Morgan]

I am interested to hear from anyone who has played a Hankin Shark.

I was given a Shark playfield  by my cousins husband last week, and it looks quite interesting..  Wide body machine with a very open playfield.

Anyone have or played one whom can comment?

Cheers

Dean

Can only speak from memory playing it back in the 80's on location. Its pretty fast, little flippers were a challenge, enough drop targets. I didnt play it that often when Nugent was just up the road, and a far better player.

For some reason most people say this is a dog of a game.

I have owned a few of them over the years and have to say I really enjoyed playing it.

Funny as the Hankin pins used to be everywhere - now they are near impossible to find.

I can't recall playing a shark back in the day,  but someone at my Newy meet last weekend ( can't recall who it was though) Mentioned that Shark was a good game & the best one out of the 5 Hankins.
