Nice Super Mario Bros. Mushroom World Pinball Score (and not the points kind!)
I scored a nice Super Mario Bros. Mushroom World pinball yesterday (it's the smaller redemption style, but still fun). Someone listed it locally on the classifieds as a "parts machine" and asked for best offer. When I called him on the phone, he told me the machine turned on and played, but it did not advance levels (you play through 7 or 8 levels by hitting targets etc...). When I asked him what he was hoping to get out of it he said "I'd be happy if I could get $50 out of it...". I agreed to the price (trying not to let him know I had just wet my pants with excitement) and went and picked it up last night. It's totally fun, but I'm sure many wouldn't really classify it as a true pinball because of it's size, but my kid loves it (he kept saying "Thanks dad!" and "This is for boys, not for dada's..." while we were setting it up).
The arcade flyer for it is at http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=thumbs&db=pinballdb&id=884
Also, my wife called me at work today to tell me she got to the next level, so it seems to be working fine after all (fingers crossed).
