A new pinball!

[Felixthegamer]

When I first started getting arcade games, I knew that space would always be an issue. I have always liked pinball, but the machines take up almost twice the space. I have a pinball machine at my parent’s house and we’ve had it since 1989. It was something we fell into and got repaired.

6 months ago, I bought a Star Trek pinball. It is lots of fun, but has always had a few issues. I am still trying to get them worked out, but my wife loves it. She is addicted to pinball. I figured maybe it was time to add to the family.

I won’t say what I paid, but I know I probably over paid. It is a nice machine though. There’s some wear, but overall, pretty decent. Now I am the proud owner of a Kiss pinball! Kiss is my favourite band and this is something great to add to two collections. It is in the entry hall, but will be brought upstairs as soon as I can rope some folks to help me move it. Maybe I need to make some friends who are really strong?

I took several pictures, so be forewarned. Some of them are blurry or a bit off, but I tried to get some of the lights flashing.

That is so officially bad ASS man! KISS Pinball machines (in my opinion) are one of the most iconic tables around. Super congrats, man -- you're going to force me to drive up to KS to play it, aren't you??

[otaku]

very nice man! I love pinball too enjoy! This is certainly one of the good ones also! I can't seem to find pinball machines to use in my area any more found one at a movie theatre-elvis pinball but otherwise pinball seems abandoned I need to buy myself a machine at some point

[jcalder8]

That's an awesome looking machine. Mind if I ask what the final damage was on it?

[Videogamerdaryll]

MAN THAT IS AWESOME!! I Love KISS ans Pinball Machines,especially "Bally"

[cyberfluxor]

Dude, enjoy! That's really hot and it's going next to Star Trek! What Star Trek pinball machine is it? The one I always see is from the Next Generation.

[Felixthegamer]

Thanks everybody! After having for a few days, it plays like a dream. Drop by any time Flack!

The Star Trek I have is Bally and from 1979. It mixes elements of the original series and the first motion picture.

Cool! Let's see some more photos of the 2 machines together.
I have a Bally Kiss also, my second might be a Sega South Park some day.
