Hello all, I Purchased this and 4 other EM games as a lot a week ago.
I am good with EM pinballs but have never messed with this stuff. I am sure it will be a good time. I have wanted an EM shotter for years now but they just dont seem to come along very often compared to video games.
I know I wont have time to restore all of these games and will end up selling a couple of them but for now I am just looking for info, links, pics, and whatever knowledge you all might have here about these, including past and current value.

Midway SAMI, Looks to be mostly complete. Only missing the tank model. Solid cab, rough paint. Right side is flaking to the touch. Backglass has some flaking but could be saved.
Interior scenery looks ok. Camera and film are both there and look ok but are very dusty.
I am afraid to power up the game in fear of destroying the film or damaging the camera untill I get some input on the subject.

I guess the big questions are..... Is a reproduction film available??? I think there was at one point but from who? Could I get my film, if not to badly damaged, reproduced by someone?

Btw, were there other games like SAMI that use a projector and film?

All input is welcome. Thanks!

Ken should chime in on this one. Put this in the Em section that might help also. Great games I have wanted a shooter for a long time. Good luck
 
That one looks pretty rough. I think you could probably pull in $100 or so in the current condition. It could be a good spare-time project to fix up, however. I can see you getting it nice enough to fetch $300 or so with some effort.
