I had a blast playing Comet. Ahh... Here's the Fireball.

How sweet was that comet? Looked like it just came off the assembly line.

Played the Taxi. Left ramp was near impossible to make and STDM virtually guaranteed from the Santa kick out. Shame since it is in glorious condition. Time for some Firepower

That was a near-immaculate Taxi. One thing I found very interesting was that the woman on the table was Marilyn, not Lola.

Hope everyone got a chance to to play that Fireball. That one set up today was really nice. Zipper flippers worked perfectly and the spinning disc was very grippy and evil. The ball was dancing on that pin. My wife and I were actually laughing out loud playing it. Unfortunately this caused a crowd and we couldn't get back on it as a line started to form. Such a superior pin. My favorite of the show I think. And that's saying a lot considering I played for over eleven hours over the last two days.

I was bummed when the Fireball Deluxe at PPM had terrible Zipper Flippers. So. Damn. Weak.

I did play a Fireball Home in a dodgy record store here in Brisbane. But I have to say those Zipper Flippers really make that game.

Ooh, a rare one!

That Taxi was a restore by a talented guy on Pinside (thread below). He did a High Speed for Pinfest last year. He does beautiful work.

Yep, you are right. That pin has to be setup just right. Everything must be working as it should or it just isn't really playable. It's tough enough when it is all working well.
