looks in nice enough shape but $3500 is still a bit steep

Not much chance of me scoring one off ebay. 3500 is rich, but to someone in love with that game not so much.

They are still around....I picked up a nice one (the LE version with the smaller head) about 4 years ago for $300  #*#

Tony, would love to get my machines from the same place you do!

They are falling from the sky!

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Eight-Ball-Deluxe-Pinball-Machine_W0QQitemZ110347380372QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_15?hash=item110347380372&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

I am sure that guy has been trying to sell that machine for ages. Or maybe I have just viewed it a few times now!

The description is somewhat understated - 'playfield has some wear': actually it looks like someone has taken a sander to bits of it. 'Works great' - well that's funny, how come the 4x drop target is down but the 3x isn't. I am not sure if anyone will bid on it at $2500.

EBD is a little overrated in my book. Nice game, but it seems to hold a higher value than I think it is worth.

Once it's got you hooked, it's got you hooked!

Hopefully EBD is my next pin. Got to scrape together a few more dollars first, and find one with a half-decent playfield.

That's a fair list there, Stu.. Some real classics !

Medusa, Fathom, Paragon and KISS are all "A-List" machines
Playboy "looks good", but is not a great player, as does Spacies

Centaur is the "X Factor" pin - Can be REALLY good if it is in good condition, but like Spacies, it is a "Scary" theme for kids

EBD.. OK - I'll have to have a play on a really nice machine - see if I change my mind !

It's a shame you missed out on playing the EBD I did a playfield swap for Nino... Nice brand new playfield, new plastics and all rebuilt parts. Came up a treat, and played really nice!
