View Full Version : Coleco's Fonzaie/Happy Days Pinball
Ron Albanese 02-17-2003, 05:47 PM Hey Gang,
While I too am tortured about on why so many things -- besides characters -- were dropped post 1980, I wanna talk about the pinball machine.
Saw the pix here. Had it as a kid! It was awesome ... and I'd like to buy it again?
Any stories to share? Any other pix? Does this turn up on e-Bay often?
Ron

White_Daisy 02-17-2003, 06:36 PM Hmmm, the pinball machine, I've been dying to find it too. I don't think it's on ebay though...let me check...
White_Daisy 02-17-2003, 06:38 PM Nothing on ebay, the jukebox did turn up once on Ebay though

Yeah. I saw that too. :D It was 2000 dollars! :eek: I wish I couldve bought it. :(
animalcrackers 02-18-2003, 09:43 AM A couple of weeks ago on ebay there was two Fonzie Pinball machines for sale. One was over $300 and one was over $500. I don't know if they were what you are talking about, but they looked nice.
Ron Albanese 02-18-2003, 02:48 PM The machine I mean is the Coleco toy company's home pinball game. It was farily large, very playable, and had cool graphics ... I got it for Christmas 1979 ... is that the one that was on eBay? I know sometimes there are auctions for the Bally "8 Ball Deluxe" machine, which was an arcade unit ...
Ron!
YoliUSA 02-18-2003, 04:11 PM I saw a video game machine once about Fonzie. It was a racing-type video game by Sega. You had to control Fonzie through the streets of Milwaukee. I'll see if I can find the picture.
YoliUSA 02-18-2003, 04:18 PM I found the pic. This doesn't have to do anything with the pinball machine, but the machine looks cool.

I don't know the make of the pinball machine, but there were two of the same. I don't see it anymore on ebay.
Ron Albanese 02-18-2003, 07:16 PM Cool pic of that video game! I think that was the first licensed character video game! Very cool -- and rare!
Now, for that home Coleco unit -- Animal Crackers, are you saying there were two different home Coleco models?
Here's the link to the one here at this site, and it's the one I had:

I don't know if they were Coleco, but they both were the same pinball machine. It had Fonzie, I think playing pinball on the front. That's all I can recall. This was a couple of weeks ago on ebay. So I guess keep checking back on ebay. Sorry that's all I can help you with.

I found a picture of the machine I saw. It was the Bally 8 Ball one. Sorry it wasn't the one you were looking for.

I don't think so...If I remember correctly they didn't have one after season 7.
Barnabas1 02-19-2003, 07:42 PM Are we talking about jukeboxes or pinball machines?
Barnabas1 02-19-2003, 07:43 PM Dumb post, I meant to say where is the JUKEBOX from the second Arnold's three or four posts up. So sorry. :lol:
