First time I seen a Bally Flash Gordon was in a Pinball  Parlor in Elizabeth st  Melbourne just a couple of doors down from Batman Records, must have been the late 80s.
And I am a big fan of the Flash Gordon Movie, FG pin was on my wanted games list for a while.


Got mine from  www.pinballclassics.com  You can see mine is still in there under Bally Games.
I belive my FG came over in a container from Germany and It had been in sorage for a while.

I bought this one as the playfeild is very good for a 31 year old game BG is about a 8/10 and the cab is 7/10 .
Had a couple of transistors replaced in the lamp driver board and the Aux lamp driver that controls the chacer lights at the top of the BG.

Bought a compleat used set of FG plastics from the US just to replace two badly chiped plastics.
Am very happy with it , its a grate game...

Hey Pinpal, do you have LEDs in yours or the standard incandescent lights? Personally I like the LEDs in the dmd machines but in anything older I think it's good to keep them original with a warmer light, but with FG I'm in two minds.  My playfield swap will start soon but I'm probably still leaning towards the incandescents.
