I'm not a fan of the Headbox on Centaur or EBD. The game is practically the same, it is just the design that I don't like. Good price though !

That's a Stern "Split Second" next to the Centaur. Very interesting title - Is that for sale ?

Agree, dont like the deluxe cabs on both these pins. However, the price is good.

Grab it!

Excellent game, I don't mind the headbox on that title.... <.>

Only last night you, Mr Rollerball were saying that you didn't have your eye on anything  #@#

So that means something will have to go....or does it?  #@#

Paul, if you don't want it i'll have it.
I remember joking with you last night suggesting your next pin should be a Centaur

I am guessing that you are referring to the headbox of Eight Ball Deluxe Limited Edition which, like the Centaur II, was apparently designed to use up left over Rapid Fire headboxes.

I have to agree, I don't like it either - I would never bother with an EBD LE.

Its a cool game - I would grab it at that price....Can always offload here if you don't want to keep it...

I don't mind the cab / headbox.  I guess at the time - every pin coming out was the same dimensions so they had to mix it up a little.  Thankfully it didn't catch on but I can appreciate the designers thinking outside the square (no pun!).
