Hi there !
« on: November 08, 2014, 05:31:53 AM »
Hello to the other end of the World !

I am a french collector of pinball and arcade machines from the 30s (Baffle Ball) to nowadays (had ACDC).
I want to add an Empire Strikes Back to my collection so joining your community is probably a must to learn more about Hankin.

See you on the board,
Valentin

You are going to need one of those Russian cargo planes to haul it.
TESB machines are heavy

Good examples don't come up for sale often

You should have no trouble finding an Empire strikes Back in Australia. The only issue would be shipping overseas.

Best of luck with the search.

Actually that would be the easiest part, but a costly one !

They sell for high money in the USA because there is only a handful there
I think they only made 350 machines
