Anyone know what these are worth? Couldn't find anything on TM to compare, hoping an expert out there sees this, if so, please email me @ oasisnz@hotmail.com ...

OMG what a beauty ;D - I saw a pinball machine on tm (ages ago) they wanted around $1,200 for it. Your machine is definately in better condition.

Thanks Certegy and Gpo706, was just about to do a little more research myself, it's called a Gottlieb's ORBIT, MFD by D. Gottlieb & Co. 60164 USA... We found it in a village called Waedenswil a bit in the Alps in Switzerland, in "not working" condition, so scored it quite cheap, 180 Swiss Francs. IvyPlus's brother has an electronics business over there that specialises in older electronic devices, so we figured he could get it going, all he did was open it up and give it a bit of a clean out, and it was working just fine! I was surprised to see that in Switzerland they still have pinball machines in the pubs, and Foosball tables, and no pokie machines! It's a lot of fun, it takes the old kiwi 20c pieces in the 2 franc slot, and as a side note, the Swiss have a 5 franc coin the same size as an old kiwi 50c coin, so if you are heading to Switzerland anytime soon, take some old 50c coins with you, they are worth 5 Swiss Francs in the vending machines over there! ;D (please don't actually take this advice seriously, I've heard it's fact, but haven't actually tried it out myself, yet ...
