OK. It would be now a slow WIP as I have to wait for Steve in order to get a toy and for the happy owner in order to have the rules (for the moment, the pinball is totally dismantle...).
Sorry for all Bally's holics: as zipper flipper are not modelised, I change them by a pop up... Nobody's perfect, isnt'it?

Just need good pics and time. Sometimes, I have both so I recreate a table... End of February and end of april, I'll go to two french pinballs show. Maybe the occasion to take good pics (crossing fingers).

Amazing again
I love these old tables and you do big fine job. Keep on rockin'

Don't forget to send me the table size with the playfield image so I can do the Spindisk - Kicker

Very nice to see a table that has not been done before, and in the hands of 2 masters. Still enjoy playing Time Tunnel every week. Nice to see you slipping back into the 60's again Popotte.

That's not a bad idea using the pop up in place of the zipper flippers. I'd been hoping you'd do that with 72 Bally Fireball (hint, hint) when/if you recreated it.

Looks great! This is the first pinball I remember playing as a very young boy. I haven't played one in several decades, so it will be a thrill to relive that experience.
Thanks for choosing it! I have been to lots of shows in the past 10 years and only saw one once, so there are not many out there.

Bad news for you. After Rocket III, I'll fly into the 70's (1979) and the 80's (1980) for two tables. But after, back again to the 60's and the 50's...
Good news: with a little chance, I'll recreate this year 3-4 never done before tables...

For this one, I have to have the help of Steve for the upper ramp. But, with his help, I can recreate it (I think)....

I've just have the opportunity to get good pics. Never see (and play) this one before...

re: fireball: the zipper flippers are the only thing that has thus far kept me from recreating it. [that and the coding's gonna be a little hairy].

[Popotte]

Magic Steve (open 7/7 24/24) have just delivered to me the needed toy (and, as usual, it's exactly what I wanted, muchos gracias amigo). As I don't know when my french friend will rebuilt his pinball in order to have the exact rules, I think I'have to clean a little the plastics, add some screws and just write Popotte's rules and, in a first time, deliver a RC version...
Pic updated in first post, as usual.....................

What are these? just a special shape? Maybe I can help..I did the banana flippers you know

Zipper flippers are special. It's normal flipper but when you hit something, they move in order to join... just after 25" If you can do something, you are really wellcome!
Concerning banana flippers, I don't find a link to them and maybe I have to use them for a future recreation (I've to get pics before...).
Concerning Fireball, you have a nice challenge for the upper ramp. I have to think a little about that and ask to Magic Steve... I have all the stuff (thank Bob (bc57)) in order to recreate it. But it's an other story... I think I have to do a strict planning for the future. First, finish King Pin and Ten Spot...

poppotte, this looks beautiful as always. did you ever get around to making gorgar?

Yes... But in background. Foreground will be Rolling Stones.

[unclewilly]

fantastic, i love that one also

[Popotte]

I just receive a good description of the rules. I have to adapt my script, ask for more explanations and Rocket III will be released...

[Gravy]

Hi Popotte, Im assuming you are already aware of the Rolling Stones table by Gerhard S, Germax??

Thats not to say that the world cant use two excellent tables. Especially with your fantastic abilities.

Yes, I know. But I'm not recreating Rolling Stones (it's Rocket III post here...), I'm recreating BC57's pinball. It's not the same.
More seriously, when I want to recreate a table, I don't care if an other version is avalaible or not.
