Looks more like the Harlem Globe Trotters on Tour to me.....what makes you thinking that Chris is wrong?

GREAT nest you found there!!!
A lot of work ahead but a lot of fun too. ;D

Lot of unusual euro cabs in the style of the ones documented in Andrė's thread here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=76571.0
Or mine here: https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2115.0


André´s Thread starts with an Super Invaders, I can tell you as much as that I also saw one there too....but it looked totally different, from both - the body AND the artwork.

OK, I would say that counts.

Are those 2 mentioned pinballs something special that also attract non-pinheads?
I could imagine to take some pis if they are cheap, but there are tons of it by the operators.....I would like to know which one is a good one for someone like that is not so into pinballs.

Both pins are rather common. The Globe Trotters (my opinion) is quite boring as well.

Gorgar is somewhat interesting as it was the first pinball to feature digitized speech. Back in the days, Williams even sent out flexi-discs (7" records) to operators so they could hear Gorgar "talk". It's a nice pin, but - typicall for older models - rather slow compared to newer DMD models.

@Synonym: Coincidentally, I do own a GORGAR and have it set up in my basement ;)

Re. BATMAN: I am quite sure that this is a generic cab with a "homemade" marquee some operator came up with. I can be wrong, but I doubt this is a dedicated cab.

My guess is the cocktail table is a Zaccaria but I don't know which one.

I think uou are right chris, if you take the next pic in line you have a closeup of the joystick, which looks like the "pinstyle" suzo that looks like the pinstyle that zacc used.
Also if you check the font of "control base" and "fire", thats a typical font zacc used.

Exactly: font and joystick gave it away.
