pinball auction

Went to an estate auction this morning, didn't win :-(

They had a stargate pinball, sold for $1000.  1994, so recent, but not a great layout.  You would have to really be a fan to want to a pay that.

They also had a hi-flyer which ended up selling for $350:

Granted it's old and I shouldn't have been so critical, the flippers seemed weak, there was at least 1 bulb out, and the backglass had scratches in the artwork.  I also wasn't too keen on the layout (though it would have been nice to have a mechanical pin as my first machine).

I'm going to keep looking on craigslist and ebay until I find one I like at a reasonable price.
