Corvette pinball machine
Just curious, does anyone that posts on this forum, own a Bally Corvette pinball machine (or any pinball machines)? It dates back to 1993, so there are no C5 or C6 references on the machine, but it's still a great game. Mike

I have a Twilight Zone and Terminator 2. I remember the Corvette pin, there were miniature cars that you would have drag race each other. Been a long time since I have played one that wasnt trashed. Pins require proper maintainance. Probably why there are so few left. Stern is the only company that makes them now. And I bet mostly for collectors rather then money makers.

I´ve got one! Love it!
They are from 1994, and there were quite a few of them around at the time here in Sweden. Not that easy to find these days. I found mine, professionally serviced, just a couple of moths ago for $ 1.250.

I have 10 pinball machines (not a Corvette machine tho) also and a C6. The Corvette machine is nice.
Be cautious of purchasing used machines off of ebay. I hear 10 horror stories for every one good one.
You can visit the rec.games.pinball newsgroup and do a search on Corvette for the scoop on the machine
Be careful of starting with Pinball machines - it becomes addicting (and expensive) very fast!!!

A fellow Corvette owner who owns a pool table and hot tub business here in Sx Falls owns one and he also sold one to one of his best friends who is now deceased. I have seen both of these machines and they are in mint condition. I even played a couple games on one of them. The machines are not for sale. Both parties have collectable die-cast cars and the pinball machines along with a lot of other corvette collectable items. I have been told they are difficult to find in mint condition since they didnt make that many of them. I remember it did have a ZR-1 Corvette engine on it that shook and made a lot of noise. Very cool pinball machines.

I have a 1977 Bally’s eight ball with the Fonz on it and they had to recall them because they didn’t have his permission to use his likeness and play it all the time with my kids and grandkids now,always looking for the Corvette pinball where I live.
