Best mini flipper pinball machines
« on: May 20, 2013, 04:52:03 PM »
Hi, I am a fan of pinball for many years, but in my country (Slovakia) are pinball machines rare. So I never play reall big pinball. Only as computer game. But as I was kid, I get "Tomy atomic pinball". It was not working properlly (bumpers was counting score without stop) and I repaired it. Few days ago I started to search for more mini pinballs, and found that "Tomy Astro Shooter" may be also great mini pinball. I decide to buy Atomic pinball in good condition to replace my actuall Atomic pinball (it is on the way to me). Still do not find Astro Shooter for reasonable price with international shipping.

But my question for now is: Do you people know about more good durable and fun mini pinball machines?

Stern have brought out a couple of toy pinball machines lately  <.> A little bigger than what you are after though.
My kids have a couple of toy machines similar to those, not quite the same.  Good luck with your search and  %)% to Aussie Pinball

Welcome to Aussie pinball. %)%


I have to admit that I initially had a bit of a laugh at this post, but then started thinking...

Imagine not having access to a pinball machine to play. ^&^

Good luck with your hunt.

I want to buy normal pinball machine also, but have to wait. It is too expensive and it gives me only one play field. So a little satisfaction for now will be something small and cheap. But it is also hard to get it for me. In my country there are maybe few toys pinballs which are much worst than tomy atomic pinball. You can find there somewhere in pubs few reall pinballs, but I only saw one when I was kid. Really rare there.

Man, you do not know how lucky we are in Australia.
Hope you start getting some decent machines in your country, Azuritko.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

Azuritko, have a look at this website to find pinball owners near you:

http://www.pinballowners.com/collectors.shtml

There's only one person on there in Slovakia but quite a few in your neighbouring countries. Some of the people on the website have pinball machines for sale, you might be suprised how cheap some of the older ones are.

Good luck!

slar value, the site looks good, thank you. Maybe I will find something there.

Pop Bumper Pete, do you have photos of the pinballs?
