Ohh Cool! This was the machine that really got me into pinball when I was a kid and I was looking for a
FP version of it! I must have been at about third or fourth grade of elementary school then (at around 1976 or 77).
It wasn't the first pinball machine that I played cause the first one was when I was in first grade and I barely played that one but this one was close to a place where my grandma lived in which I stayed often (I had to walk only about 20 meters to get to the machine and voila!) and because of that my brother and I played this one a lot.
There were two pinball machines at that location but this is the one we liked and we played it so much that we really learned how to play it very well, so well that we could play for hours with a few quarters because we could get so many specials and extra balls out of it!
We really learned to nudge this machine and send the ball were we wanted and one day my brother and I got to play it for so long that we burned the darned thing! For real! ja,ja,ja We literally burned the machine cause we played it for so long that something inside the machine shorted and I remember the glass filling completely with smoke ja,ja,ja and of course it was too bad then cause we couldn't play it anymore that day but I believe that the technician came later on and fixed whatever went wrong with it and it gave us many, many days of fun.
