Thanks dudes! I'm loving the hell out of it, despite the sound not working and the weak flipper. Can't wait till I get it spruced up a bit. I actually like the aged look of the cab and backglass so I'm not going to bother sinking a ton of cash into it. My wife actually prefers the old look too...
I just got it! It plays quite well with just the far right flipper being weak. No sound for some reason though so not sure if it's just turned off maybe? The guy who sold it to me really didn't know anything about it, so he wasn't able to help. I'm just thrilled to have a pin again! (haven't had...

Found a good deal on a Circus widebody and hopefully getting it delivered tomorrow! The playfield looks pretty good, and I dig the drop targets and the roto target, and I love the artwork. It sounds like the far right flipper is a bit weak, but everything works. It's a couple hours away so I...
The 70's were the golden age of pinball in terms of popularity and availability. Arcades WERE pinball in the 70's and everyone, I mean EVERYONE played it because that's all there was to play lol. Plus pinball machines were in every bar, every restaraunt, every mom and pop shop, etc.
