Looks like it could be some fun. Location is near my old stomping ground. I am originally from the Pittsburgh area, but we moved to Greenville Pa while I was in Jr. High. If the price is right, go for it.

That is the problem with those "made for home" pinball machines. They were not made with the highest quality parts. I had one as a kid growing up and it did not last too long before it had "issues".
These are my opinions and just because I am the admin you don't have to agree with me
This looks to be a low maintenance machine. The ball acts as a conductive switch for the pop bumpers, eliminating many parts. the flippers are inter connected as well. Both flip at the same time? you could play it one handed.

Pop bumpers, slingshots and rollovers are "switchless," using the conductive properties of the ball to connect two electrical contacts. While a slight bit clunky for response, this made for a very low maintenance machine. Slingshot "rubbers" are actually metal springs, which act as contacts. http://ipdb.org/search.pl?any=demolitio ... quick#4891

Thanks, Mike
I decided to pass on the machine. I need to finish some of my projects I've started and never finished!
