    My Kansas pinball buying trip turned out really great but when we made one stop, the owner decided to throw in a EM that really needed, REALLY NEEDED, a lot of work. I think I got it for 50 bucks...or maybe 75, anyway, there was no backless. And the instruction cards didn't have a name of the machine on them.
    I have the Pinball Compendium book, and I have spent two different evenings going one machine at a time trying to match up the cabinet design. But I have yet to find the name of this machine. (image below). I had a few ask me to post the titles of what I picked up in Kansas if I didn't mind.
    Eager Beaver, Full House, Slugger (pitch and bat), Stellar Wars, Laser Ball, World Cup Soccer (2), the one with the. dice on the cabinet..and there was one more. My "part timers" disease is kicking in and I can't remember. But all these machines cost us 1500. I felt with the pandemic and covid driving pin prices higher these last couple of years, that I made out okay.
    I have another trip planned as there are more machines to find, but in the meantime if anyone knows what that one is..I would appreciate the title!
    thanks
