I got to play on the Brown Top a little. The first shot I did was a middle man 3-bar outside wall bank from the back pin position. Snapped it off the first time. Then a few air shots from back.
I forgot what it was like holding on to that cucumber handle

Yep, mine were from a backpin too, executed with an open-hand. I seem to remember that being the first time I used an inner tube to get a better grip, because the hard plastic handles were slippery when wet, and I couldn't even get a good grip using my old glove from the blue top's skinny ribbed handle era. Not just any inner tube, I think it was from the fatty slick tire on an old 5 speed chopper-style spyder bike, there was no way a 10-speeds' tire innertube was gonna fit on that big lumpy handle.
My next door neighbor made a remark at his last garage sale that he had a brown-top for sale in mint condition for $300, but since he just recently moved here I'm not that close with him and he didn't show much interest in coming over to play on my blonde Tornado. Now that the pic has brought back memories for me, I may badger him into letting me see it and if he comes down a little on the price I just may buy it for old times' sake. Wouldn't it be cool to have a mini-tourney with 2 or more different brands of table, going from one to the next? or even just have 2 mini-tourneys on the same night, at the same time, but on the different tables?
