Hankin tables

[night]

Pretty obscure and according to my 'complete pinball book' a rare find outside the borders of Australia, Hankin's 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Shark'.
What an incredible playfield artwork these tables have.. They certainly would look great in our TPA collection. Agree?

What TPA needs is a licensed Cricket table from Hankin, like Howzat

Hah, this thread! Before my current avatar, my last one was the backglass for Howzat!

There's no way we'd ever see Empire, but a small part of me hopes we could find something like Shark on TPA. But there's snowball's chance that one is available in the US for FS to even have a look at.

Time for FS to go on a Road Trip and maybe make a Youtube series out of this. Bet they could get some Discover/History/A&E funding and go full on "Reality" on our collective asses if SYT has any pull LOL.

Couple of Go-Pro's, some Red Bull, and we could watch "Ryan and Stuart in the outback" in search of rare pinball tables to (digitally) capture and take back to California.

Who wouldn't want to watch that driveway cheese?

Talking about obscure tables, Taito (do Brasil) made a Shark table as well: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=4582
What interest me is that Taito has released a number of well-known tables under a different name, like Fire Action (Fire Power) http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=4570

I still think their oddest one, tho, is Gemini 2000, which is Centaur's playfield with Flight 2000's artwork.

I read this is a conversion kit. I wonder if it has the electronic voice as well. I really like F2K early speech. This table is one of my fav, furious fast action.
