    Personally, I like my Thunderbirds quite a bit...sound and video are excellent, and the play value is good if you're a fan of the show (and I am). The animated toy is fun as well, and you'll be impressed by the quality of the machine. The music during the fever rounds is great fun!

    5......4......3.....2.....1.....Thunderbirds are GO!

    just don't expect a low-key (quiet) experience...and good luck!

    Thunderbirds ll is a very nice machine. You will need volume controll for sure.
    Has anyone figured out what the RED BUTTON does?

    A quote from the above ebay ad:

    "The pinball-like game of Pachinko is extremely popular in Japan and can be found in many American casinos. The term Pachinko is derived from the Japanese word pachi-pachi, meaning the clicking of small objects or the crackling of fire."

    So for alittle fun, does anyone know where these American Casinos are that have Pachinko machines!! Cause I really like to go!!

    Cheers,
    James

    I've posted this info before, the red button doesn't do anything during gameplay for this particular title; it's used in other titles that use the same cab though.

    Volume controls are right in the middle at the top. You will see a set of 4 red and 4 blue wires. With two sliding switches, you need to add volume controls to the volume controls!
    I cut the two outside wires for each set so you get the right wire for each speaker.
    I have video on my site of the thunderbirds.

    Top option is the video.
    There is a link to the manufacturers web site.

    My price is higher (I would be prepared to do some work on this for you) but you will get original ball tray, door key and omron lock, CE power supply,shipping is £30 including insurance. I am trying to make sure I am offering the best quality and value for money that I can. Hope this helps.
