    Thats pretty cool looking!! Does anybody know if $600 is a good price for this..High..Low?? Cool, but I think I'd get a Matrix pachi instead!!

    600 seems high to me but I have no idea. I was surprised there was no info on IPDB.org about this game.

    $600 seems high to me as well. Very cool machine though. Would love to see a video of it in action. That might change my mind about the price.

    To me, at least some sort of description is required. How it plays, fully working or not, etc. especially in relation to the asking price.

    Looking at the holes in the face, it appears to use a large gauge ball(s)
    (think I see it near the launcher) looks like a grey or white pinball sized ball
    could it use just that one? wouldn't see why not
    it could give you a limited number of shots per coin, to try and make a poker hand

    That would be my guess. There is also a speaker so there must be some kind of sounds during gameplay.

    I have a bit of bonus coming to me. Might have to take a swing at this one.

    I did some additional reading. Seems the machine came with 4 different rule cards and playfield overlays: Baseball, Football, Poker, and I think Soccer (ipdb.org is down at the moment, so I can't double check.) The owner could swap them out when they wanted to. I'll bet if you had the machine and all the overlays, it would be worth a few bucks.

    I think I remember one being for sale about a year ago with the overlays.
