My new Pinball Addition

[PinPal]

Am about to aqwire a new pinball to my Collection a  1980 Bally Flash Gordon, Its a game thats been on my wanted list for a long time and one has come up that I am very interested in. I love the sounds in this game and the strobe light behind the BG. Its been 12, months since I bought my last pin so am pritty excited about this one  
Will be a nice addition next to my Black Knight as both where the first split levle playfeild games..

You won't be disappointed. A great player and the artwork is typical of Ballys of this era.

I just won the Bally Flash Gordon on e-Bay   That was me  
$2,495.00 I no it was a little high but most Flash Grdons are hard to come by without worn playfeilds and trashed cabs.
This FG looked in very good condition for a game over 30yo.
And I thought this would be a nice machine to restore and hangon to for a time.

Where I am going to put Flah Gordon is another story    2. Pins in the living room, 2. Pins in the spare room, and  1. Pin in my bedroom.  That leaves the dining room and the out house,,, think I will put FG in the dining room !.  I will be letting go of one of my other games in the next couple of months as its a bit crouded in here and it won't be Black Knight

Yep - Great picture and it looks like CPR will be releasing this playfield next. I can't wait to start mine.

BTW - How is your backglass ? I've NEVER seen a bad one (flaking or fade).

Will have a closer look at it when FG arives here next week, still waiting for it to be shipped from Brisbane. I will go right over it when it arives. Was told the BG is in reall good condition...

My Flash Gordon will arrive on Wednesday, Can't wait     Will post picks of it when FG arrives and when I am setting it up in its new cubby hole.

My Flash Gordon arrived today, Was stored at a warehouse until today when I got my brother to help me get it home. Overall it needs a bit of TLC, the cabinet has a few scuff marks and dings. It has a bit of water damage right at the back of the cabinet but you can't see it from the front.
It will need a good clean in a few places, the playfield is very good with not much ware. It will need a new shooter rod, legs and lifters and things but I will go right over it and see what else it might  need.
