Always room for one more!

I think that apology video is still up on youtube, somewhere. I know I didn't yank it.

There's a video floating around on Youtube showing two working P2K prototypes next to each other at Gene's in the past. I don't know if they were in similar condition, or both WB or one WB and one PB.

Both of those games are no longer there.

LTG : )

This one?

not that one.. but I would like to see a high res version of someone playing WB and see how complete is really is.. that would be cool

I had played the "Complete WB" a few years ago when Gene still owned it. Playfield was probably at 85% and the software around 50% complete. There was a single mode in the game and you could get a feel for where they were going, but it was no where near being a fully playable game. And Playboy was probably at 40% on the playfield and 10% on software. Since it didn't have any ramps - it didn't matter. He told me it wouldn't start a game. We grabbed HD video at the time, but I'm not sure where the tape is.

There's footage of Wizard Blocks on "Tilt" and "Life After Death 3: Warehouse Raid", both excellent DVDs...

has anyone physically went and looked at the 50000 worth of pinball yet? or is it all really just junk?

Yes, I went.

I did not even go into the "1 lump sum, 180 game for 50k" warehouse but I was told they are in worse condition than what I saw in the climate controlled portion. What I saw in the climate controlled portion is still a gamble as nothing is plugged in.

It was 6 hours round trip for me and I bought nothing if that tells you anything. I am sure there are titles that would interest other people, but nothing for me at the asking prices.

i am really contemplating going to see them tomorrow. Depends on how I feel I guess.

I mean if they are utter and total crap not worth ten gees for the lot, not going to waste my time with an asking price of $50000

If you are considering the bulk deal 50k warehouse then you are probably wasting your gas money unless you like expensive EM firewood.

For the individual games he listed, after yesterday, then good ones all appear to be gone or already purchased.

got no love for any more EMs if thats all he has left.

It's a real jerk move to try and pass that garbage off as a 50k collection. After all the promises of kp and wb and then years of nothing thus guy is coming off looking real bad.

I got my letter today. I signed up years ago for kp not to be offered a pile of shit for 50k. Damn.

The $50K warehouse is only EMs and most are firewood but hard to tell the way everything is stacked. It might be a good investment at 5K to 10K if you are really into old EMs and have lots of time and space to devote. Even then, you might not make it back since there is a week or more of moving machines involved.

BTW Not many Gottlieb EMs.

Then Gene is a fibber. He flat out told me on the phone there was more than just EMs in the 50k warehouse. Gene sure made it seem that there were ss titles in there too.

Not interested in 180 ems.

Well, if there are any SS machines they are pretty old. There might be one or two. It was pretty hard to identify many machines as all the heads were off and not in the same area as the bellies.

And the temp was 35 degrees inside (verified by a thermometer) when I walked through there. Gene said it was temp controlled at about 50 degrees. I imagine it is temperature controlled up to about 100 degrees in the summer.

I like Gene but he is a "salesman" and takes certain liberties with facts.

Most consumer product salesmen lie. Period. I listened to a salesman once explain how his lies were not sins of comission but omission. I do know salesmen that are very honest but not in consumer products. It always amazes me that people are shocked at the possibility that salesmen lie. OMG!! SAY IT AINT SO!!!!!

=)

Interesting posting here at this location with some new informations. I don´t like the public talk, but meanwhile it´s the time for more public discussion.

Can anyone give me the contact details to the new owner of the Wizard Blocks prototype in south california? I need a high res picture from the playfields bottom view.....

Thanks for first,
