Finally got my Pinball Machine Home

[Captain Wrong]

Almost two years later, Lethal Weapon 3 is finally in my basement.



I always wanted a pinball machine with the image of a bigoted actor and that plays C&C Music Factory.



Mel sez: I got a bad reputation.

You sure do, pal.



Seriously though, it's a fun table. Maybe not famous or anything, but I'm digging the hell out of it.

Wow, that looks great. Looks to be in pretty good shape too.

Are these newer pins hard to maintain? I always wanted to get one (T2 is my dream pin) but everyone tells me to stay away from them because they break easily. My friend has a Black Knight and there's always something wrong with it. Don't know much about the newer pins like this though.

sweet. What'd set you back? I want one badly but they are so expensive. I had to settle for an 80 dollar electric machine which sucks.

[Captain Wrong]

It is in pretty good shape. It has some battle scars from being on location, but I've seen much worse. There's one thing on the playfield where it looks like a cover is missing. I didn't even notice it, my wife did.

As for maintance, I really don't know yet. *crosses fingers*

This came to me as part of a game room package my father in law bought at a charity auction. I really can't remember what the total was, but there was a pool table, Golden Tee, Mega Touch, CD Jukebox and this. It wasn't cheap, that much I do remember, but for all those goodies, I think it was a fair deal.

RED WIRE.

Great machine and it looks in nice shape for one that probably got a lot of play. One of my favorite tables from the 90's. Congrats!

We have a Williams Taxi and it has not had one issue in the 2 years we've owned it. Having Pins in your house ROCKS ! Congrats on your pick up. Never played that one but it looks sweet!

Just keep it cleaned, waxed, and routinely check your balls for odd scratches or lumps.




wat?

I got my first one recently too, a Doctor Who and I love it. Congrats on the score. I think ours are the same board type.

Damn, all these years, I've been training for maintaining a pinball machine. Who knew?

I think I got pretty lucky. I wouldn't have necessarily picked this table because I'd never seen one before. But, it's a lot of fun. It's fast, there's lots of action, the video rounds are fun and it's challenging without being too hard.

Now, I just have to find room for my jukebox (and get the Missile Command out of the dining room and in my basement with the Lethal Weapon.)
