Does anyone have one of these? I'm wondering how the game play is on it, and what an approximate value would be...
 
Flash pinball in decent shape fully working $500-$600 range. In really REALLY nice shape ~$800.

I haven;t looked but check Pinpedia.com to give you a ballpark idea.
 
I restored one for my bro in law, fun game and I liked it!

I brought it back from the dead though. So make sure if you are going to buy one, you get one that works. If not, you will be in for a real ride fixing and updating all the electronics.
 
Not to thread hijack, but have any Flash owners ever found a place to buy the 1 1/2" red arrow inserts for the game?

On to the game, I'm restoring one right now. It's a fun game if you're a fan of the early SS Williams. Good flow but lack of multiball, like kuglerarcade mentioned, kills it for some people. The sound is very well integrated and you'll find yourself being pressured to make shots the higher it goes.

I had one, I think I got $325 for it when I sold it and the playfield was really nice and it was working 100%. That was far less than I had into it, even though I got the machine for $175 non-working. That's all I could get for it after months of having it for sale. In my opinion, it's not that fun or challenging of a game. I think this game was produced in a huge quantity so it's very common and parts are pretty easy to come by.

Unless you like this game and want to own one, I'd pass, and save up for a newer machine.

I have an entire populated playfield that in the future I may be willing to part out. It's in a storage building that I won't get to for a month or two, but if you still need any parts, remind me later and I'll see if I can help.
 
Flash is a great machine. Very fun old school SS pinball. Some games do not need multiball. This would be one in my opinion.

Looks like I'll probably take you up on that. Pinball Resource doesn't carry the inserts (checked and confirmed).
 
Flash is a great pinball. We used to have a dozen of them on the route back in the day. They earned very good money. You'll see quite a few with worn playfields since they got lots of play.

A friend still has one on the route because it still makes money.
