Had listed for a while at 00 - taking offers . Had interest but it takes a special place and person and household to want/get this! More motivated to sell thus JUST dropped the price to 00 (bottom line) to encourage a sale!purchased years ago from a couple guys that had rare access to the park before its demolition
not sure if they are one of a kind but certainly only a "few of a kind"
i was heavy into pinball and picked these up from them - drove a distance to pick up.. and they are HUGE
at some point in their recover the "arcade" plastic piece on one of them cracked but i nicely glued it so that you can not even tell!
THIS DISPLAY - 2 massive flippers is the real deal ,,, and i have printed their history and the park's history!
i actually found a photo of them on the internet hanging above the entrance to the arcade area of the park -- You will get all paperwork from my research.
Park closed in 2009 and i believe this is when they were recovered
THESE WERE HANGING OVER YOUR HEAD AS THE ENTRANCE DECOR INTO THE PINBALL AND ARCADE SECTION OF THE PARK
metal
silver grey and red and some black trim
Each one is: 7+ feet long and 5" deep and a varied width of 23" at the back base side... and 16" or so at the tip.
With a total realistic display range of: AT LEAST 16 FEET !!!!!!!! you keep a gap between them like real flippers
(i will also give you a silver ball i was going to display between them a some point but never did)
I uniquely added wired LED light strips (red) a year after i got them to add a little kick (that all can be removed) but it is a REAL DEAL eye catcher and not some "crafting project" of a display.. actually looks like they should have been on from day 1!!
Since i got them and to this day they hang above our main sitting couch in our main den. They are a feature item in our house. NOT HIDDEN IN THE BASEMENT! THEY ARE ON DISPLAY 24-7-365. When someone buys them - that is when they come down.
We are planning on switching things up is the only reason i am getting rid of them plus as well ,,.,, i am "out of the pinball wheelin and dealing and collecting world" Had a basement full of pinballs, NO MORE.
If you have an arcade or pinball room in your house or garage or whereever all you high end collectors "do your thing" THIS IS THE BOMB and makes it all complete. I could see in the right and proper home or location them hanging at the entrance to your badass pinball room that you take pride in and when walking into it.... all those folks -friends-family-pinheads KNOW FROM the first square foot that YOU MEAN BUSINESS!
Putting these in your high end man cave , entertainment room , personal arcade will absolutely SET YOU APART! - or should i say SET THE BOYS APART FROM THE MEN. (yeah i said it, VANITY BABY, VANITY BABY)
Local pickup, i am not shipping them sorry- i would allow you plenty of time to make plans to get them after you win/buy them (they can hang for a bit!) - you will need a truck to get them
