Paid $2650 for it. It's in perfect shape, looks like it just came out
of a crate. I don't know if I over paid for it but even if I did I
don't really care, I really like this game and never thought I would be
able to find one this nice.

Is there a working ToM owners list, or somewhere where I can get more
info on the game like rom versions and such. IPDB is down so I can't
look it up.

If it is as nice as you say it was a great deal.

Look up ROM version at:

Good luck

One of the few pins i want to complete my collection one of these days. I
always win credits on these, no matter where I play them. Love the trunk
thing.

I think you paid the price of an average TOM for that HUO.

Hate to think what it would have gone for on Epay. You got it locally or
paid shipping?

I got it locally, it has a pretty unfortunate story behind it. The
owner of the machine had this and a WCS in his house (Which was also
perfect) he was in his early 20s and single, soon after he bought them
he drowned in a boating accident. His father inherited everything and
put the machines in storage for the past 10 years or so wrapped in
plastic and blankets in a heated storage space. He needed some money so
he decided to sell both of the machines, unfortunatelly I couldn't
afford to buy the WCS.

Bummer. 10 years in storage though. Were the batteries removed before
going into storage?

I have yet to play a World Cup Soccer pin. This was the giveaway pin at The
Texas Pinball Festival AND Allentown 2005 with crowds around it always.
Mark Schneck with MTW Enterprises has one for sale here in VA. I think it's
shopped out now and he might still have it for sale if anyone is interested.

Flip it now! You might be able to get $3500-$4000 and buy 2 machines
that are twice as fun. In effect you can quadruple your mileage! Make
the smart move. I would actually rather have a Popeye than a TOM. I
rank it just above the Flintstones (ugh!) ; P

Don't listen to these guys, it's a great machine and you got it at a
great price. Congrats. Now borrow some money if you have to and get the
WCS! Another under-rated game that is just awesome...."GOAL"!
