This is one em pin I've been wanting. I've already cleared out a spot for it next to DK Jr.
Very nice! I really like the initials and scores carved in the front. Gives it an authentic patina. And the glass looks to be in good shape. Congrats on the new addition. Have any others?

I've played one of these and it was fun. The pop bumpers near the bottom of the playfield can be challenging, and certainly keep you on your toes.

Plays great and looks great. There are pop bumpers uncomfortably close to the flippers, so expect lots of jukes and drains. :) Pretty unique design in that regard.

I definitely prefer the backglass over the playfield art. The contrast between the two styles is interesting. The light placement is super cool too. I can imagine this was a fairly dark table for its time. Those glowing eyes are spooky! :shock:

Yeah, I'm cool with the initials. Glass is sound, and the playfield is probably 7.0-7.5/10-ish. It gets the job done. I won't say the table is fully shopped...as that is highly subjective. New rubbers, waxed, and tweaked though.

So far just Abra. I'm waiting on a truck to nab it. I recently learned of a woman through a co-worker that owns a Firepower that belongs(ed)?? to her ex-husband. We shall see.

I found House of the Dead: Overkill for $5 at the thrift store, then some first-party Wii component cables (new) on clearance at the BX for $2.50. I love when stores clearance random accessories, they usually price them super low.

Good luck! I would love to get a table, just waiting for the right one to pop up on CL. Don't be such a stranger! We miss having you around.
