wanted: Pinball Pool
I have a 1931 Pace Whiz Ball game that I would like to trade + cash for a Pinball Pool.
photo: download/file.php?id=42969&mode=view
it is from this run: http://www.esnarf.com/whizball.htm
I know I know, this is very specific, but it's the only way I'd be able to afford it, so I thought I'd throw it out there. Someone's bound to have a Pinball Pool collecting dust and maybe interested in trying an old timey trade stimulator!
For the longest time I've wanted to play one with a powerball as the cue ball, and a steel 8-ball as the center captive ball. Simple pleasures
EDIT: Whiz Ball is sold, Pinball Pool still wanted

Re: WTT for: Pinball Pool
i actually sold my pinball pool a few years ago . the person that actually bought it also bought my Hot Shot at the same time. i was reluctant tos ell the hot shot and i argued with him it was basically the same game . he wanted both. i personally like the hotshot/bigshot better and currently working on my 4th hotshot/bigshot that ill be keeping .

Re: WTT for: Pinball Pool
Hot Shot / Big Shot is great, and maybe I'd take one if it came up.
Only downsides are no center captive ball, and no adorable Gottlieb System 1 sounds. I love Gottlieb System 1 games with a Pascal board installed to get the skill shot, ball save, etc https://www.flippp.fr/pi1x4.php

Re: wanted: Pinball Pool
Yeah but just casually since I bought that Regatta. Going to wait for a good deal on one.

Re: wanted: Pinball Pool
Projects with dead boards tend to float around for $600-$700. Get one of those, slap in a all-in-one aftermarket board (~$500) with the bonus rulesets, and they're good.luch wrote:then what;'s a good deal ?cait001 wrote:Yeah but just casually since I bought that Regatta.

Gottlieb System 1s with original boards don't appeal to me because the boards and interconnects are not long for this world, and allow less rules/options than the modern replacements.
Either way, I'm full up now and this dream will go on the backburner. And it's no problem waiting around for D-list titles like this one to bubble up. (and I say "D-list" as someone who does like the game, but it is in the bottom 40 solidstate games of all time on pinside https://pinside.com/pinball/top-100/page/4 )

Re: wanted: Pinball Pool
And that's still definitely a fair deal, and many people will want the original boardset. For me I just love those Flippp/Pascal replacement boards.luch wrote:yes , no problem , mine would be priced at 1300 , with a reconditioned clean original board with nvram , so no batteries , thanks anyways mike
