Pinball circus parts up on eBay. 2 know to exist. One is in the
pinball hall of fame in las vegas and the other in some guys garage
hidden from the world. Rumors are the third game exists yet there's no
proof. Here are most of the play fields, back board, clown head clown
hands, and more.

Pretty cool, but with no machine they're just art I guess. Are they
yours? I'd like to hear the story behind these if so.

seriously tho. finish the game? LOL that has to be a joke. You only
have to find all the other game specific parts, like plastics,, giant
elephant, rope girl, spiral ramps, other wire forms..... There is no
way in hell your going to put together a game with these 3 pieces of
upper playfield and backdrop parts. Hell, you don't even have the main
playfield. Great for a novelty, but completely useless in the grand
scheme of things.

get these items. This is real torture so close yet so far!
I have never seen the machine in real life.
If they dont get sold maybe they can be donated to the Pinball Hall of
Fame so that Tim can keep his machine in great shape?
I have been trying to create just a Mock up of the PBC for years (Just
the Head) I already have the Ringmaster body.
It will be just for display. I have been trying to find perfect side
art pics to scan to put on the sides but to no avail.
Here are links to 2 vids I put together Honoring the PBC

assistance to recreate it.

I think that it would be great if we could talk the seller into
donating the items to Tim and then we can get 50 of us to send the
seller 20 bucks a piece. I really think that these parts need to go
to Tim to make sure he keeps his going and looking as good as
possible. I cant think of anyone else who donates more than him, so
it sure would be a nice gesture for the group to give him a donation.
If anyone thinks this is a good idea, let me know and i will try to
contact the seller and see if something like this is possible.
If so, my suggestion to him would be that we get the 50 or so people
to send him the payment direct so that he is the only one handling
money

parts/pieces from the factory prior to leaving. The guy is pathetic
maybe, and likely deserves to be in jail?
TA contributes, has done so for decades now, beyond anyone's
comprehension. If there are/is a saint in pinball, this guy is one of them.

and a couple of plastics. More like selling a chassis and pair of
fenders and saying "... maybe you can finish this 1955 Lincoln Futura/
Batmobile..."

We're giving away our Pinball Circus Pinball Machine plus a Medieval
Madness!!!
The local Salvation Army is 4.2 Million in debt and needs a $6 Million
endowment. Tim's favorite charity is the Army and he wants to help.
Anyone whom makes a $10 Million donation to the Las Vegas Salvation Army
will be given the machines as a thank from Tim and from Sean who is
donating his Medieval Madness and is the owner of the "A Gamers
Paradise" shop next door the PHof.
This is a real offer for someone to own one of the rarest machines ever
produced. See Tim for details.

Not that I have any problem with the Salvation Army, but I bet you could reverse engineer the entire game for a lot less than $10 million.

to the Salvation Army.
First and foremost I never give money to religious organizations.
Secondly, the SA discriminates against homosexuals in their hiring
practices and in many countries they have actively tried to block
legislation supporting equal rights for homosexuals.
I would be overjoyed if the SA simply disappeared.

For 10 million dollars, i'd want pinball circus and Total Recall. Plus
a staff to help finish the game. Both of them.

sure a lot of G/L people hard on their luck get assistance from them
same as the rest. Saying they should disappear is throwing the baby
out with the bathwater... how bout working to get them to change their
ways instead, if you don't like they way they are doing things.
10 million? I think I'd want those two machines and the entire PHOF
along with em!!
