I played many but this one was always my favourite... El Dorado (1975).

The arcade owner limited the number of free games you could earn to 9. I would use my 5c play one or two of the 5 balls, earn 9 free games and then tilt the game. I would then sell the 8 games for 2c each to other players and use the 9th game to earn another 9 free games. Made some good pocket money like that! :D

I loved tthe Addams family one.

Spent over R1000 for it.

Wanted to buy one a few years ago, but the company wanted R35000 for it.

This local guy, a friend of mine really knows his ***** when it comes to pinballs - http://www.escapism.co.za/

I'm sure he'd be able to let you know who wants to sell a pinball if you're looking for one. Who knows, maybe you'll even get the one you were looking for.
