NEW TITLE 2DAY ! INDIANNA JONES WIDEBODY '1993 WMS
« on: November 03, 2011, 10:57:11 PM »
I have been chasing a WMS 1993 Indianna Jones Widebody for the last few years and it seemed everytime one came up, I had no coin cause I had just bought a few pins, or I was too early, or too late to pick up a Indy.

Today my luck changed. I picked up a Indianna Jones and luckily it was also a Japaneese delivered machine, and the machine is excellent. (note - a Taito metal plate is always affixed to a Jap pinny as seen in the photo below).
Typical cabinet fade, but the playfield, boards, translite and everything else is very clean and immaculate. The owner had even gone to the trouble to put a whack of LED's thruought the machine so I am stoked. I have bought a set of new decals, and a set of gold legs with gold legbolts etc, and will do the full gold treatment plus a few nice other mods. A great looking game 4 sure. Fun to play as well.

Been playing it this arvo, but i am tired from moving heavy pins around. Starting to really love everything about this classic widebody. Pinny's at their best in the 1993 year of great machines.

If you havent played a Indianna Jones, its a great game. I have included the original promo factory video below incase u havent seen this great pinball title before.



thanks for reading.  ^^^

Nice pickup!

I have put a decent amount of playing time into one of these and it was good fun, probably too expensive for me but an enjoyable machine in my opinion.

Thats exactly what i thought.  ^^^
 It is a great promo video. By watching these factory video's, it teaches u ALOT about a game. There is alot of depth to a Indy. Looks amazing with LED's which I am not usually fond of, but this looks T'Riffic.
A nice widebody Twilight Zone and Addams Family is next on the hitlist, perhaps, but I have another title I have found, which is usually not very well known, and it is also a Williams and it will be a very nice addition soon as well. Love these Williams machines, just like I love my Sega and Data Easts. Pinball is so bloody fun. Best hobby in the world, bar none. Long Live Pinball !  ^^^

I played it at a gas ststion 3 yrs ago for ten minutes only, and maybe once or twice at Martyns for a few mins only. Great game, makes u work hard to get up the top playfield which is where all the action is. If u dont choose ya shots properly, u dont get up all the ramps and up to where all the fun is.  ^^^

Fun game, bought one and shopped it for a mate a few years ago, and had it for about a month while waiting for Christmas when it was going to his place as a a family present. I recall that you had to have the game perfectly level left to right for i to play right, played very poorly otherwise.
