Tabletop SPIDER-MAN PINBALL GAME w/ Batteries, Works!

Tabletop SPIDER-MAN PINBALL GAME w/ Batteries, Works! - eBay (item 310013389295 end time Jan-14-08 20:28:43 PST)

This Spider-Man table-top pinball game is loaded with four C batteries and works great. The back is marked, "©2004 Funrise Toys. Inc. Made in China." The battery compartment door shows how to place the four "C UM2 LR14 1.5V" batteries. You need a Phillips screwdriver to open the battery compartment.

I set this on a table to play it and needed to put something under the far end of the game so gravity would move the ball down the field. If there were legs on the game to lift the far end, they're not here now. Propping it up on something like a book works fine.

There's a small on/off switch on the back. The sticker on the back of the header says, "Turn dial on other side of header to adjust high score manually." The header folds down for storage. The spring pull, buttons, scoring, lights and sounds all work.

What a great way to practice and develop your pinball skills without going broke! It makes sounds and lights up as you score points and they rack up on the score.
