my family and I used to have the Flash Gordon pinball machine (& Williams Triple Strike) but unfortunately every time someone wanted to play it, something would stop working, eventually we sold it to a guy who collected & restored pinball machines
I have owned a Flash Gordon pin now for 5. Years have only had problems with the mini flipper. the light strobe is still working, its a grate machine would never sell it...
@@justingreenfeld I had to replace the mini flipper base plate as the screws holding the coil stop where stripped, the stop plate kept coming loose. I have replace the flipper bat shaft as well, problems fixed.
When I first heard the opening statement “flash! Emperor Ming awaits”, I always thought he said “flash! Morton Gould awaits” Because I was studying music back then and one of the conductors we studied was Morton Gould.
Hello! Is there a lot of mainteinance for such a machine? I'm thinking of buying one of these, but I'm not sure if I will be able to keep it in working order. Greetings from Slovenia.
If you can't weld, do electronics, fix circuit boards, et al, a pinball machine is best unbought. If you have knowledge of how to fix them, but a roomful...
I wouldn't buy it for two reasons, 1) the maintenance is probably demanding beyond reason so you're looking at a chunk of money out of your pocket for that, 2) the pinny's theme and appearance don't capture that of the actual essence of the B-movie itself.....it's a complete bust in 2017, but a treat in 1980
What an awesome machine! The old ones are the best!
Da kommen Erinnerungen aus schönen vergangenen Zeiten wieder,Dankeschön.
This game has some nice sound effects. I bet you can feel it cranked all the way up.
Love the shot on the right side. Hard to hit it.

What issues did you have and what did you do to fix it? I am picking up a machine with that flipper having issues.

Amazing !!!!!!
i had that one when i was young omg
I wanted to like this machine. The games were just too short, but it did have some really nice skill shots that made it interesting.
It was very difficult and unforgiving.

It’s not bad maintaining machines. As long as you have schematics. Parts are available for even very old machines.
