I almost want to buy it. If i had the extra cash and wasnt on the hunt for a zookeeper.
wow, i never realized how much of a pain those must be to work on. there's one up at lyon's pinball i play, and it's a monster compared to a regular sized pin.

Wow..I remember talking to someone a long while back that had two of these..and they had mentioned only a few were ever made..but that must have been bullshit because in this post alone people have verified several more....wonder how many of these were actually made...Anyone know..or was it mentioned in this post..I'm too lazy to go back and check..

The guy I purchased my DK Jr. from had one in his basement and a second one in the garage. Crazy.

Thank you for the video
I played that massively huge game at Southern fun a few times.I would hate to move that thing up a flight of stairs LOL.
Well done video that really puts this pin in scale compared to a standard game as well as getting into the details of this unique machine.

I have personally saw the 2 at Cedar Point, 1 at Geauga Lake (in the 80s), 1 at a local arcade in Cleveland, and 1 at an Atari computer dealer in Elyria Ohio in my lifetime, so that is 5 in NE Ohio alone.

Funny story... The guy who I bought my Jr. from, who had two... One was for sale in his garage and one was setup in his basement. His house wasn't that big... "maybe" it was 1,200 Square foot ranch with a basement... Pretty funny seeing that thing in his basement... Guess it was even funnier that his garage was full of games and parts, the basement was full of games and parts, game room was filled with games... Then there was the living room... kitchen... spare room... and the family room... I didn't go in the bathroom but according to my buddy, there was PCB's on the back of the toilet.
Not exaggerating!

I know where there are 2 of these machines for sale, at a reasonable price. I can forward information to anyone interested. I tried asking for a finders fee to a guy from Texas who owns a pinball business (not on this group), he was desperately interested, but he would not offer a finders fee. These seem to be very rare, and as big as a Ford Explorer...I have seen them and WOW. If seriously interested, let me know and I will forward the contact.

I'm not POSITIVE, but Todd just crated this one up (as the pictures show above), and the incredible Chris Hutchins of "High End Pins" just got a Hercules in a crate this week.
If you don't know about High End Pins, basically he redoes everything on the game from the wiring to the screws to the playfield to the cabinet and makes it look better than factory new. Unbelievable restoration work, and this is of course the biggest job he's ever done, it'll be really cool to see what this thing looks like after it's done!

The fact that you filmed this massive pinball machine in an even more massive space complete with crazy echo is perfect.
Really good deal, wish I had the room. One of these days I will have one.
