The subject line says it all. My wife is extremely gung-ho about pinball machines, and I'd like to try and find one for her birthday in two weeks. Her favorite was a machine from the early '70's called "Eight Ball", with a pool-table theme; I think it was made by Williams Electronics. Actually I'd settle for anything similar, with the old number reels for scoring as opposed to digital readouts. (My personal favorite is "Space Mission"; a rather tired and jacked-up example of it can be found in Ed Debevic's downtown.) I have no problems repairing these machines, so I'd consider offers from private sellers OR recommendations for commercial outfits, but I'd rather not have to deal with shady companies run by guys with strange nicknames. :-) Any pointers to companies that sell these old machines would be appreciated. I'm not looking for mint condition; low prices would be preferred. EMAIL or post replies as you prefer; no phone calls, please. I'll post a summary if anyone's interested. Andrew C.
