    I'm sure I've been a member of the LEPM club for quite some time, but I just scored this free Atari Airborne Avengers a week or so ago on Craig's List. This was my first free pin. I've gotten a handful for $100-250 in the past and I got a lot of 3 free videos before from a co worker of my brothers mom's basement, Contra, Altered Beast, and I can't remember the 3rd one....been a while. Anyway. Cabinet and back glass are in great shape after dusting off with Simple Green, but the play field is totally shot, pic attached.

    Just messaged GRC on eBay and he tossed up an excellent AA play field for me on eBay and it just arrived. Problem solved! Whenever I get around to cleaning and parts swapping....

    Quoted from AlexF:

    There was a pretty nice looking Aladdin's Castle at Chicagoland for $400 this fall. This is a bargain in my area these days.
    I bought this fugly Big Strike for $300 back in July...because I've always wanted a Big Strike. At some point someone painted the cab red and then put adhesive backed brown burlap over the top. Peeling the burlap back pulled up the red and the original paint. I was so disgusted in how gross it looked I didn't touch it again until last week. It's going to need a repaint in the Spring when I can get outside, and I'm not a huge fan of repaints.
    Anyway I've started in on tearing it apart to clean everything up. It's always hard for me to get going but usually get more motivated as I go. This one will probably make or break my continued love for the silver ball.

    How was the show at the new location? I live almost right next to Pheasant Run so it was pretty disappointing that it's an hour away now and didn't even bother going to the last show.

    $50 to shop in the parking lot on Fri? Unreal. Most of that stuff never goes into the show anyway.

    I used to go on Fri and have snatched up a couple great deals in the parking lot. That was a lot of fun. Then I'd pay the couple dollars to go inside on a Sat/Sun and have a peek at all the amazing stuff there.

    I'd never set foot in the parking lot for $50.

    That's great if there is more space and more vendors, too bad that can't balance out the free parking lot rummaging.......
