An original dedicated Gyruss is a hard thing to find, however Gyruss in a generic Aussie built wood grain LAI cab from the 80's (which is a nice thing) with 59 other classic games, easily found for around $650.00.

Coastr Posted 2September, 2019 Report Share Posted 2September, 2019 I had to lookup what Gyruss was. all my 20c pieces went towards skateboards and bicycles - arcade games were subservient to that goal. JV911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV911 Posted 3February, 2020 Report Share Posted 3February, 2020 My brother had Fish Tales ~25 years ago. What's an entry-level non-collectable machine worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to pay 5k+ now for a Fish Tales in nice condition, maybe 3.5k for a bit of a shitter, albeit a solid playable shitter but you have to be Jonny on the spot. I'd value my restored Fishy's at 6k, but its not for sale. I'd sell my Dr Who that's an original delivered Australian example (yes, Aussie delivered commands higher dollars in the pinball world too) for maybe 5k, or 6k with all the cabinet being restored etc. You're paying for the theme which in turn relates to game play which means a higher price. Sure, there are cheaper machines out there, say a Gottlieb Street Fighter which is a bit of a turd / boring which you could pick up for ~3k. A lot depends also on the era of games that you liked..

A very late Solid state machine (1991) with 3500 units produced world wide.. $3500 is probably on the money - just. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fed enough 20 cent pieces to cover a 1970's mortgage into the Gyruss machine at the Belara Prawn Co-Op on Bribie Island in the early Eighties. I was the King of that Bitch & all that dared play me where my vassals (least that's how it felt at the time till the teenagers came & pushed me off - then I just cried).

(every Porsche enthusiast should have one 👍 ha ha) I have a Checkpoint among my collection - it's a great theme obviously, and the gameplay is solid - but I have better games - AFMLE springs to mind.. and I probably like my Gottlieb EM's more too, but for sentimental reasons more than gameplay. A crap pinball is better than no pinball I reckon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 9March, 2020 Report Share Posted 9March, 2020 Check out Aussie Arcade if you aren’t already a member. It’s the most active site we have here for pinball. If you prefer an international flavour there is pinside.com - the negative to pinside is the moderation is very light, so there are a lot of trolls. It became the defacto site for everyone who got banned from every other forum, but is far and away the most active site globally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocketscience Posted 9March, 2020 Report Share Posted 9March, 2020 Yup, I'm on both - though don't post much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
