what'd it take to get you to part with thaT?
Sorry, it ain't for sale. I've had it longer than I've known my missus. The one shown isn't mine, that's just some shots of the internet, mine has a bit of stuff piled up on it, so I couldn't take a decent photo.
These machines do come up for sale from time to time - the Black Knight machine was build by Williams in the early 80's and had a lot of firsts for a pinball machine. It is a split level, multiball machine, with an electronic voice - very high tech for the time, and still puts a smile on my face, although it has a switch matrix error at the moment I have to sort out - all part of the fun of owning a machine of this age.
Before the GFC, pinballs were fetching huge prices, and I was offered $8K for mine a while ago, but I doubt I would get half that for it now - don't really know, because I haven't looked at values for years.
Check out this clip - shows how it looks when operating - and shows a 2 ball multiball play, but it does do a 3 ball play if you lock more balls in the top shute. You can also hear it talking - just in case you can't work out what it is saying, when the two ball play happens, it says "Fight agaisnt 2 enermys"

Always toyed with the idea of a MAME cabinet for the shed. :cool:
