It will be interesting to see what it goes for, the last one on eBay went for over £2800 and the one before it with a colour dmd went for over £3200. I was watching both but found mine though the forum.
I’m quite speechless when I see these prices the pin world has simply gone mad!
 
Flintstones imo has some of the the best lightshows of the era. IT DOESN'T NEED LEDs. You wouldn't get the same effect.

Also very high quality music and sfx, not like later on when they tried to cram too much into the sound ROMs. Bitrate suffered.

Shallow game (who cares!) but very fun. Super jackpot shot is a joke from the upper flipper but somehow i like that. Usually get it from a rebounds of the upper drop targets.

If you set the game up hard, wizard mode is quite a challenge to reach and you only have 20s to complete it. Heart racer for sure.

Bowl-o-rama can be tough to reach. That third strike is always a miss!! Blame adrenaline..

The rock crunching machine is simple but very unique. The ramps send the ball BELOW the flippers. First of its kind i think? Nascar did the same later except at pf level.. and another title too but I can't remember..

Anyway. Was my second DMD and i love it.

You couldn’t have put it better, it’s simple yet fun. It’s the first pin that anyone that visits mine wants to play and the one they go back to.

Complicated games can just be frustrating and only fun when your on a good ball, simple ones just always seem to be fun!

I'm all for donating to charity but that's strong pricing to say the least! :oops:
 
It may be just camera timing, but the Bally game doesn't seem to have booted up. Even if it has, a lot (in fact most) of the general illumination isn't working

Not many lights lit on the STTNG either now you mention it
 
My friend sent me this, apparently Newcastle area,

I don’t know, the amount of time and money that can go into restoring a pin can make it a good buy even if it looks overpriced.
It’s a labour of love for sure. It’s when an unrestored messy one goes for silly money I thinko_O

You're right ‐ he's probably made a loss on it, at least if my refurb budgets are anything to go by!
