My new vintage pinball machine
Advertisements [?]
1978 Atari Space Riders. For 150 bucks I could not pass it up. Nearly everything works and I ordered some parts to fix the rest. Yup, you can get vintage pinball machine parts at online stores. They had the drop down targets. One of mine is broken. I also got a bumper set. I had to tune a lot of the switches to get them to score or trigger corectly, and the connectors at the motherboard are not as snug as they once were. It's a fun game too. The boy wants to keep it natch but we really don't have room. Atari made the first electronic pinball machines that use a circuit board with an eprom, RAM and electronic switches instead of the old-style banks and banks of relays.

Anyone else have arcade games? Tell us and post pix if you can.
