I loved this game, too. But it did seem to break a lot. Almost
every Earthshaker machine I've seen has had SOMETHING not working
correctly. Also, when you get the machine to shake, its not uncommon
for the machine to tilt itself, which is most annoying. Have
others experienced this or is it just me?

*  Good Personal Anecdote:  While I was in college, the local Zippy's
   (a convenience food store) in good-old Waco, TX, had a brand new
   High Speed.  This particular Zippy's had the misfortune to be in
   a not-so-fashionable part of town.  While completely entranced with
   a high-scoring game, I heard some radio chatter that didn't sound
   familiar.  I ignored it for a little while since the game chatters
   frequently.  Finally I glanced around and to my surprise there was
   a police officer questioning the cashier.  I asked what was going
   on and they replied (not believing my ignorance of the situation)
   that an armed robbery had just occurred ten feet behind me.  Incredible.
   Natrually my scores suffered for quite a while.

Well...

5) Black Knight (come ON! the FIRST multi-ball game!)
4) Earthshaker (first time I made it shake is scared me half to death)
3) High Speed (man, I could play that one for days)
2) F-14 Tomcat (I DID play this one for days)
1) Cyclone (I spent more time playing this than I did in classes)

Geez, I've sure been selling off my collection lately. Been getting rid of
all the old stuff to make room for new acquisitions. My home collection is
actually down to six, yes 6 games!

I've decided to focus on quality, not quantity. Things are getting more
state of the art because half of my collection is now dot-matrix (well,
three ;^).

In the last two weeks I sold three games that I wasn't playing anymore.
Mousin' Around, Diner and BK2000. Oh... and I picked up a pristine
Terminator 2 yesterday.  

Get this, a guy got my number from an operator because he'd bought a T2 new
in the carton and his wife decided that she didn't want it in the house
anymore. He was referred to me and now Arnie is alive and well in my
gameroom! I'm surprised my neighbors didn't call the police at 2 AM last
nite when I was whipping around that chase loop with motorcycle sound
effects thundering through the house (stereo, equalizer, BIG speakers, et.
al). 

This is too good to be true! I have the #1 and #2 rated pinball games at
home (Replay and Play Meter top 10, July). Am I dreaming...

		     Get The Super.....EXCELLENT!!!

I've just purchased a Bally Bazaar machine--delivery tommorow. I know
there are some problems with it, but I don't know specifics yet. It is
in good shape cosmetically--some wear showing on the playing field,
mainly the launching chute. I know this is an old machine, it is
electomechanical, score maximum is 99,990, and the coin box takes
Nickels! The cumulative games counter inside reads ~60,000 games.

I'd like to get schematics, manual, parts lists, etc. for this game, as
well as any books/info on restoring old machines. I called Bally, and
they said that they no longer stock any info on games that old, and
referred me to their largest distributor, Beston. I've been calling
them daily, and they say "We don't keep any of that stuff, we get it
from Bally". Lot of good they are.

Does anyone know where I can get this kind of info?

How 'bout just sending me the FAQ, since all my questions are probably
answered there! Anyway, feel free to flood me with mail if these are
common questions.

BTW, is there an archive or FTP site for this newsgroup? Any
reccommended books or magazines?

I believe that the quote is "Don't tortue yourself."

It is said when you don't shoot the ball hard enough up the ramp and the
ball lands in the swamp for the 2nd time.

Try and listen to see if that is what is being said.


I have also heard the quote "That's the spirit, shoot again."

Anyone else hear it?

Sean and Steve:

The problem with using an Evel K. Back box will be as follows:

As E.K. uses a -17 MPU The wiring harness will not have a
connection for a sound board.  You will need another harness
or you will have to modify that one (not worth the effort,
take the box but get another harness,though you could play
the game without sound :) ).  The harness you
need can come from Lost World up through around Silver Ball
Mania.  Some later ones may work but most of those should be a direct
match to the board set if I recall correctly.  I know S.B.
used a different sound board but the wiring should be the same or
easily modified.  

Exact matching harnesses can be found I believe on the following:

Lost Word, Star Trek, Paragon, Harlem Globetrotters, Supersonic,
Dolly Parton, Playboy, and maybe Nitro Ground Shaker and Rolling Stones.

There may be some others but that is what comes to mind.

Hi

I`m on the market for a used pinball machine. Does anybody know a dealer
in the Toronto, Ontario area, who deals in Bally products of 1977-1985
vintage.

Also could anybody supply me with the address and phone number for The
Pinball Trader? Or recommend any other worthwhile reading material on
the subject of pinball machines.

P.S. I have a friend who is also interested in 60's vintage machines.
Any hope of getting a hold of this stuff?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Greetings all,

I have obtained a Bally Paragon pinball machine, minus the upper
section (logic board, score displays,etc.) cabinet.  I'd hate to strip
the beast for parts, since all seems to be in excellent shape (all are
in good order, and a B+ quality play field).  Anyone out there have a
spare they could part or know of a place where they can be obtained?
If not, how about the dimensions for said cabinet.  The table is wider
than normal, but are there any standard replacement cabinets for
Bally's?  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, so if you
have any suggestions, please get in touch with me.  Advance in thanks.

	5  Star Trek
	4  Riverboat Gambler
	3  FunHouse
	2  Terminator 2

Now my All Time Top 5:

	5  Time Fantasy		(The game that originally got me into pinball!)
	4  Millionaire
	3  Banzai Run
	2  Bride of Pinbot
	1  Road Kings

Worthy of a mention: Pinbot, Taxi, Whirlwind.

Not worthy: TAF ... It's just *TOOOOO* annoying!

I went into my local pinball-place-where-they-recognize-me-and-
adorn-me-with-more-tokens-than-I-buy (tm) today during my lunch 
hour, and in exchange for a dollar was given nearly five bucks' 
worth of tokens. (Pricing is normal here, BTW ... 1 token for 
most games, the usual three-credits-for-one-dollar scheme on the 
T2.) This treatment is consistent with (but is the most marked 
example of) how they've treated me all summer here. I have 
therefore composed the following letter and plan to deliver it 
shortly before I leave Hawaii at the end of the summer:

---------------------------------------
Madam:

I am, as you have probably surmised from my repeated visits to 
Waimea Gameworld, a pinball fanatic. In my twenty-one years, I 
have visited dozens of coin-op establishments (including all of 
the other arcades on this island), and never have I been to one 
where I was treated so warmly. In addition, I am astounded by the 
degree to which your machines are kept in such perfect operating 
condition; your business sets an example that is, in my 
experience, unmatched anywhere.

As a full-time college student (with temporary summer employment 
at Keck Observatory) I am ill equipped to adaquately express my 
gratitude. You have made a lonely summer very tolerable; please 
accept my heartfelt thanks and best wishes for your prosperity.

---------------------------------------

This seems inadaquate; what else can a poor pin freak do for 
these folks?

I don't think I've ever played a pinball machine that was NOT made by
Williams and wasn't poorly made.  Williams is the only company that seems
to be able to do it right.

Data East is generally pretty bad, but Gotleib was the all time worst.

I realize that there is a fine line between bragging and sharing the joy of a
new acquisition. If my posts have reflected a boastful attitude, please
accept my apologies. That was never the intent.

I tend to get very excited when I buy my new toys and the first thing I do is
rattle off my excitement to those who I feel can relate.

Likewise, I like to hear of other peoples experiences of pinball purchases
because as I've said before, this is a low-volume group and it can easily
sustain trivial conversation.

Once again, I'm sorry and I'll keep my mouth shut if my posts are that
offensive.
