I used to skip school and play THIS EXACT MACHINE
I move back home over a decade later stop by the store and what do I see?
My Shirleana waiting for me...
Made a REDONKULOUS low ball offer and the guy accepted!
Shes in great shape just needs some rubber love light bulbs and the magnet adjusted (?)
Im super stoked to get my 1st pinball machine
I know its not considered one of "THE" tables to have, but it holds a lot of fond memories for me.

One of the faster playing pinball machines. A Steve Ritchie design.
 
While I wouldn't likely buy one of these it is great that you have such find memories of it. It does look cool, reminds me of a laser tag place I frequented as a kid.


Have fun with your "new" machine!

Thats why the magnet needs adjusting I have the legs at FULL tilt so its FAST that the magnet doesnt stop the ball.
And yes it is a Steve Ritchie table although if I recall someone quoted him as saying this was his least favorite...
In my book (the only one that really matters) this table has alot of bang for the buck!
And considering I have paid more for video games (that were thought to be keepers) than i did for this table...
No Complaints here!
 
Congrats on snagging the deal of fond memories, as long as it matters to you, there's nothing left to say except have fun :D

I'm hoping to acquire my first pin here soon, hopefully I can be as lucky.
 
Congrats on picking up not only a favored title, but THE machine you played as a kid.

Who cares if others don't like it. You do and that is all that matters.
 
Rollergames is an awesome machine, as you probably know. IMO the main reason why it's not more highly regarded is because they're pretty rare and many enthusiasts haven't played them. I think it's one of Steve Richie's best designs. It may be a bit dated, but the gameplay is awesome.
 
I wasnt aware that it its a rarity or anything, how many were made, I know that my SN is kinda low (564).
 
That's awesome dude.

Congrats on the first pin. Something I've yet to do, but am definitely getting closer to pulling the trigger.
 
thats awesome man!! Neat pin anyways, but to get the one you relished as a kid, thats just awesome.. now if i could just find the time traveler that was at the tilt arcade in rockford when i was a kid id be stoked!
