This Williams' machine from 1979 is pretty awesome!
I obtained this from a local collector, and after months of tinkering, I just couldn't get the sound to work. This version does NOT have the unique banana flippers, but traditional straight flippers instead. I bought this because the price was right and the graphics were incredible. All of the body graphics are still intact.
I love this machine, and the time travel theme (dinosaurs, astronauts, cavemen, knights, egyptians, and a ton of other awesome details), but I'm out of space! Machine is in good condition. While the sound doesn't work, everything else functions excellently & turns on with no problem. Internal plastics look fine (awesome Egyptian bumpers!), though there's a possibility that I could have missed something, as I'm a relative amateur.
Known flaws include :
- Like most older machines, it needs to be cleaned inside and out.
- Backglass isn't perfect. Has scraping / peeling areas around edges, but it doesn't really interfere with the graphics.
- Wooden body has gouges, and two large holes drilled in the front (originally, to lock the coin box down).
So, it's time to part ways with this machine. Only 8,875 units were ever made, and it comes with a very high rating from the International Pinball database! Because of the size of the machine, it's local pickup ONLY, and I'm located within the Hudson Valley. You supply the tools (unbolt the legs & upper portion), and I'll help you get it to the truck, weather permitting! More pics available upon request! http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?gid=2568
