sidman69 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 My look at the GNR pinball machine released by Data East in 1994 including the Gilby lawsuit. Did anyone get a chance to play or buy the machine? I went to an arcade the other night they had the metallica, stones and kiss machine, but no GNR sadly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) I guess Russ did mention he played with the pinball machine before Someone else on here also mentioned that they owned one. Edited January 6, 2017 by Slash787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blackjacker Posted January 10, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2017 There's one pretty close to me, set on free play - in fact, it's in my basement. Usually get some time in on it every couple days, and even when I'm not playing I keep it fired up, because it looks so freakin' cool lit up. Fortunately, I picked it up before prices on them really went batshit. Of course since then I've gone batshit with the $$ I put into it. Fully restored it, with the exception of the cabinet - I prefer the original screened side art on the cabinet vs the reproduction decals that are available. Has a PinSound board, I fully replaced the music tracks and 75% of the sound effects (still need to source good replacements for a few sounds), color DMD display, full LEDs throughout, new speaker system and an external Polk subwoofer, powder coated armor and wire form ramps, High End Pins restored and clear coated playfield... It's a keeper; I'll die before it goes anywhere. I thought about reaching out to TB to see if they'd be interested in having the machine backstage at the Meadowlands shows but never got around to it - perhaps next time. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderram Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I was fortunate to find and purchase a machine back in 2003. I bought it from a dealer that had it out in circulation for 6 mo. at a Mountain Mike's Pizza before I got a hold of it. But previous to that, it was owned by some lady that bought it back in 1994 for home use. So I got a machine that was only out in public for 6 mo. The dealer told me it was the only machine he ever put out in the field that never needed a service call. He said the employees at the pizza place absolutely loved it and took really good care of it. I have yet to see a machine that is in better shape than mine. 14 years later (no silence or pain) and it still purrs like a kitten. While I wouldn't ever consider selling it unless I absolutely had to, it is worth 3x what I paid for it. Not bad You can't see it in the picture posted above, but mine has the original topper that came with it.

Mine's in a box in the closet. Ceiling's too low. Figure I'll put the Funko Pop Axl/Duff/Slash figures up there if they ever decide to arrive. (It's such a shitty, cheap-looking piece, though, compared to the rest of the machine.) Edited January 10, 2017 by Blackjacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a McFarlane Slash figure still in it's plastic sitting next to the topper. Wish they had made an AXL figure too.
