[FSPA] Bowling Queen

[Roland Joyal]

Ahhhh, remembering playing that one in the 70's as a kid (even though it is 60's game) perhaps at the customer service/restroom area of Korvettes or Kliens discount department stores.  The challenge in the 70's was not finding a public pinball machine, but finding one that worked even close to properly and with strong flippers.  -Roland

If you really like classic EMs, sure, it'd be fine.  If you've played any more modern EMs or solid states or DMD-era games it'll get old quickly.  That particular game has those evil skinny slingshots that always find the outlanes...


I wouldn't pay more than a few hundred for it unless you want to keep if forever.  Personally I'd wait until October and buy a game at the York show.  That way you can try before you buy.  http://www.theyorkshow.com/2018mailer.pdf

it's a wedgehead EM with tiny flippers.  might be fun, but i've never played that one specifically.


i'm not an expert on EMs, but it's probably worth no more than $500?  condition can make this vary by a lot.

Hi!


I'm looking for some insight on bidding on a pinball machine.  I h ave the ability to bid on Bowling Queen by Gottlieb but I've never played the game before.  This would be my first pinball machine.  How is the game play?  Would this be a good first game to own? How's the maintenance on the machine? Any tips for bidding without seeing or playing it?  Sorry for all the n00b questions.


Thanks!
Lesley
