I got this pinball machine from the hotel I work at. It had been sitting around for three or four years in the breakroom that the Burlington Northern railroad guys, with whom we have a contract, chill in (chillin'). It says "HASTA LA VISTA, BABY" and "I'LL BE BACK" and a bunch of other boomhaw. I guess it was loud, and when Arnold never actually ended up coming back, the people who live above the BNSF breakroom became hurt and cut the power cord with a razor blade. It has been there collecting Pasco air-filth ever since.
Oh, and it's hard to take pictures of.
Other than the power cord, the pinball machine was dirty, but nothing was wrong with it. It had one of those universal arcade lock bar things on it, which I removed. The memory batteries (Three AA's) were dead, so I replaced them. And there are three bulbs in the rear bumpers that are dead, but I can probably fix that. All together I stole the thing for $400.00.
The Terminator 2 Pinball machine was the first pinball to be designed with that cool dot matrix display. It does a lot of cool things, and it's worth the $2000.00 I've seen people selling them for on the net. Not a whole lot to talk about, really. Um. There are three balls.
I had a couple complaints about the design of the machine, because there were certain things I thought it couldn't do. Such as, turn the volume all the way off, instead of just really low. Stuff like that. But I downloaded the 118 page manual from some web page and, as it turns out, the pinball machine does everything I thought it should.
So, anyway, I really thought this page would pan out to be a lot cooler. Just look at some more pictures, I guess, and then go back to the ZOOM Machine web page.
This is my friend Baby John. I gave him $10.00 dollars to cool it with the Jets and help me distract the railroad guys long enough for me to donkey the pinball machine out of their break room. Oh, I forgot, I asked one of the hotel engineers to help me break off the lock so I could collapse the backboard, and we extracted probably around $15.00 dollars worth of quarters from it! Yoink! He goes, "I'm washing my car tonight!"
This is Blaise. He was really sucking hard at the game and in a really dejected way, he said, "man, what kind of terminator would I make?" It was pretty funny. Guess you kind of have to know Blaise. Whoa, that picture looks really crooked. That's totally oregon vortex, yo.
Here is a photoshop document I created a couple minutes ago.
A quick google search will tell you way this is awesome.
This is a squirrel I saw at work today.
