Got my 2nd &amp; 3rd Pin today.

Thanks to this forum and the info you provide, I avoided a costly mistake on a clean up ES & F14 and was able to purchase a very good BSD & FT.

Both had CC PF - completely cleaned parts, replaced or cleaned plastics, replace solenoids & both were just in great shape. I also got some info from another thread and made sure the BSD PF had an SD playlist and not an LS.

Don't have them home yet, will post pictures when I do.

Funny thing is I have never played BSD at all, nor have I seen one before today. I bought it just because it was high up in the top 100 and it looked cool. FT I had played in the arcade but barely remembered it.

FT is a lot of fun. You should always be able to sell BSD if you don't like it--many people want this game although I don't know why. I've crushed it in competition, but not a fan of the gameplay.

I did pay less then the ES/F-14 due to help from the forum.
They were nice machines, but just really good clean up jobs and not worth the money.

I have some more seller pictures:

I put colored bulb condoms on the stretch the truth sign. I matched them to the inserts above the captive ball. Looks way better than all yellow IMO...

Define crushed, if you'd be so kind. I'm not doubting your skill. I find gameplay on bsd less than satisfying (actually, a chore) until you get the multis going all at once.

Nice three pin lineup you have, bmore

WOW those are 2 sweet examples of FT and BSD...I can't beleive there is no fade on that FT.....those both are keepers! B_R has the topper for BSD I like....a motorcycle helmet with bull horns...Just kidding but I noticed it in his pictures....bet it goes great with tying on a buzz.

My friends and family that are casual players hate BSD. Unless you are a decent player you can't really get anything going on it....it's only truly fun when you get multiple multiballs and jackpots going...

I don't mind having a machine only I enjoy.
If I end up not liking it, I will sell it. No big deal.

I love the PinPin video series. Too bad they film only snowboarders and not us two plankers.

Almost 1B, a couple of times, when other scores were no more than about 200M (many below 100M). Yes, I know that higher scores are possible, but this was head-to-head tourney play (not just "oh, I got a higher score last month!") and the game wasn't playing perfectly. (Left flipper was a bit rubbish, so the right ramp was almost impossible to make, even on a direct shot.) Yes, if you can hit the left ramp and left scoop fairly consistently, you can rack up points nicely but that doesn't make it fun imo.

Nice grab.

I like FT alot but never really got into BSD.

Both look to be in great shape.

As for the FT tech helper. I think all girls should repair pins in skimpy clothes
