WTB: 1974 MCI "The Safe"

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

I've got a feeling this may be a tricky find. No matter, I'm wanting to buy
one. Please have an amount in mind (can't guarantee I'll [be able to] pay
it) as I haven't a clue what one would go for.

For those with buddies (internet, personal, etc.) I would greatly appreciate
spreading the word. Dependent upon whether or not I actually buy one that
someone found for sale, I'll gladly offer a finders fee (not a fortune,
though $50? sound good?) TIA!

You'll probably get a better chance of finding one at the above group
by posting there.

All of the photos on that page are from the game I had. I sold it cheap
(sub $200?) a year or so ago to a guy in the detroit area (don't have
his info) that had another one just like it. Not sure if he ever got it
working or not. It's different, but not all that fun. The end goal is a
token dumped into the safe that you can't use for anything!

They are hard to come by, but not all that pricy. You do see them from
time to time. I'd try chicagoland coin op show since that is where I
got mine in a package deal and then sold it later.

I think the trick here, is finding one complete. But this has you beat. Are
the ants NOS?

I have been looking my entire life for Killer Shark or Sea Devil (SEGA)
http://marvin3m.com/arcade/sseadev.htm
Played it all the time in Coney Island. I think it stood right beside
Atlantis, the Gottlieb pin, which I bought a couple years at York.

If anyone has one complete, dead or alive, decent price including slides,
email me.

Killer Shark is a cool game... we had one that we opened up for our
"Mechanical Monsters" show-and-tell seminar at the 2004 CA Extreme.
Very clever mechanical marvel! Sega made some neat EM games, Rocket
Jet (or is it Jet Rocket??) is another...

Not sure, but I would kill for an F-1 I think it is. Atari? It's the same
projected graphics like Chicago Coin Speedway, but you sit in a chair and
it's projected on a giant screen. I played this in Coney Island. They are
rare, but when found, are free or next to it. I wish I had the space. I
remember as a kid of maybe 6-8 looking at this colossal racing car going
after the other racing cars. Mind boggling.

times, but never actually tried this one out... They also have a
Hercules pin and several other old oddities... Its a neat-o place to

Allied Leisure F-114... I still operate one! Originally, the seat moved
via a motor that was controlled by the joy stick. Kids using their feet
stripped the gears and blew the motors. The game is more fun moving the
seat using your feet, so they eliminated the motor. It's quite a game. It
has a motor driven annimation that similates clouds going by. Has machine
gun sounds, explosion sounds, red explosion annimation, and an 8 track
tape that simulates jet age dog fight talk, kind of like top gun.
On the "Open the Safe", there were a number of NOS machines sold out of New
England about 7 years ago. I would keep posting, someone will give one up.

I got that bookmarked, eventually to be put on a link for my site. I have
been meaning to get out there one day too, thanks to Jimmy Rosen of Sled
Works and The Hershey Expo 2005. http://www.sledworks.com
Thanks for this thread. Now I am REALLY motivated to get out there one day.

Steve from Mayfair Amusements and myself bought that load of Open the Safe,
also the NOS Airballs, and a few other NOS stuff...but all is gone now
except the lone Safe I kept in my showroom for play only. Todd from TNT
Amusements
