Ted ZanidakisI won this machine in an auction back in 1987. Didn't pay much for it as it was in need of repair.
I put my EE mind to work and got it fully operational. For 20 years it has provided my family and
friends many hours of enjoyment. It was the very same Pin Ball machines us "dinosaurs" spent all
our nickels on at the Boardwalk Arcades at the Jersey shore playing for hour at a time.
This one only allows you Three Outs....but, you can score a lot of runs in that inning due to all
the "premium targets" you can aim for. The highest one (and I mean this literally....see picture)
is a 50-run target, which has only been accomplished 6 times in 20 years. But, the neatest part
of playing this game is watching the plastic players run the bases.
Over the years, several of the Net54 posters (or readers) have played my machine and here are
some of their scores....
Kim Vida....523 runs
Mark Macrae....502 runs
Pat R....355 runs
Ron Peterson....303 runs
I hold the record with 560 runs (home field advantage).
Let's hear about your Pin Ball playing days ?
