Yeah its funny how i have collected one from each of the major manufacters, and the only one that was on my want list was Nugent. Its how I collect pins, they seem to choose me instead of me choosing them.
lol does that make sense?

Great pictures, Greg - Thanks for sharing.

BTW - How does the Elektra play ? - Too early to tell ?

Nino Elektra is like nothing I have played. I am yet to get multiball, but am scoring credits easily. The kids love the pin, they get a real kick of playing the bottom playfield. The speech and sound effects are pretty good. Sometimes the game is slow, and not much going-on. But then all of a sudden its fast, and I find the ball will wizz around the playfield, make it to the top PF and back down pretty fast. Very hard to rate this pin, like I said its different, and really kinda weird. I like it, and not a huge fan yet, and as I type I hear it chatting away in attract mode. Prepare for the gamma dimension!

Its all cleaned-up, and really needs a decent playfield glass.

Greg - Congrats mate - that pin looks FANTASTIC. To be honest - I've only ever seen "project" Elektras that have been neglected over time. This machine is the exception, and I think it would be a great game to play. Backglass looks incredible !

Cheers Nino, since I last posted I given Elektra a real workout and.............I am hooked! I almost got multiball......shitted that I missed-out, and am now of the opinion that this is an absolute sleeper........it is much better than the average game of its era. Now that I am starting to understand the game I am liking it awhole lot.
Ok I will shut-up now, gism isnt good for the keyboard lol

That has scrubbed up real well - you must be very happy with the purchase.

Good to hear you are enjoying the gameplay.
