Have YOU ever seen a pinball conversion before?

[mrbill2084]

I had one about 15 years ago. I think I sold it at the SJ or LA auction.. I think that one was in a evel kenievel cab.

It was interesting in that it had joust and maybe some other williams arcade game sounds..

I have.

It's a Bally Harlem Globetrotters pin that's been converted with the only instance that I'VE ever heard of of a conversion kit for a pinball machine from the 80's - 301 / Bullseye, made by Grand Products, Inc.

Unfortunately, the table is missing the sound board, and it was proprietary to the kit

I've contacted Grand Products, Inc (they're still in business today as a 3rd party manufacturer for coin-op products) to see if I can get a tech to assist me in getting a replacement board.

I've yet to fire the machine, I just got it off the trailer yesterday. Owner told me it works, just no sound. We'll see.

There were quite a few Factory pinball conversions around WWII.

I think CPR says they are still waiting on enough pre-orders to do the playfields. You're right though, it was supposed to be released in 2010.

Possibly NSFW: There are some comic boobies in the art:

Any word on how many more they need to proceed? Looks pretty sweet and i know where two Dolly Partons live...

i've honestly never seen a pin conversion before. i always figured there was too much involved with boards and playfields to even bother.

I would pay an unreasonable amount of money for one of those Maiden pins.

Shrek<Family Guy
or just about anything Stern makes nowdays

That 3 stoog is interresting but could certainly benift from some better art on that playfield.

This one is also pretty damm cool-IMO

I haven't seen it, but Kevin from Lyons Pinball said he knows a guy who is absolutely obsessed with the movie Groundhogs Day (he has a theater room with it playing on an endless loop...) and the guy converted something to Groundhogs Day.

I have a Harlem Globetrotters that has an Italian conversion kit. Metal, screen printed sides that nail onto the cabinet and a new PF and backglass. Also an extra PCB that plugs onto the MPU and a new sound board.

The new game is called Movie Masters.

It's very rough and I will probably part it out worst luck.

I saw this conversion of Playboy to Sexy Girl:

I've only seen the flyer for Sexy Girl. That's the one that's a straight rip-off of playboy with a nude slide show in the middle of the playfield, right? It was mentioned in Bill Kurtz's "Arcade Treasures," iirc.

That's right. One just sold on Ebay Aus last week for a stupid amount:
