I reached out to Stern this year about getting some discounted machines to raffle off/ put in childrens hospitals around Canada.
They did not reply.
Canadian hospitals have way different rules than American hospitals. I believe this has been tried before with no success main reason was hygiene, safety and noise.
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:I reached out to Stern this year about getting some discounted machines to raffle off/ put in childrens hospitals around Canada.
They did not reply.
I’ve emailed Stern a few times recently with various inquiries, no response; not even a generic email back. I wonder why? I run a service based business....I don’t understand the lack of even a brief courteous response.
Sadly...sold all my Sterns because of that. Really left a bad taste in my mouth. Guess they really didn’t want my business.
Quoted from mcuzz:Canadian hospitals have way different rules than American hospitals. I believe this has been tried before with no success main reason was hygiene, safety and noise.
I live in Hamilton. There is a Ronald McDonald house next to the childrens hospital. They could definitely use some more entertainment for the families staying there and these rules would not apply. The hospital itself has tablets built into the walls with games on them but they are aimed at the younger, under 8yr old crowd. I tried to donate a bunch of older video game consoles and games, mostly ps2 and n64 systems (i used to refurbish consoles) but was turned away because they dont have enough TVs. It's just sad. I used to deliver plumbing to Ronald McDonald house about 12yrs ago so I've seen these families packed in there to he close to their sick relatives. I found them a foosball table a few years back. Anyway, just would have been nice to get some pinballs out there for the families.

GTB wedgie collector looking to add a sweet original to the herd (AAB or replay, 3”). Let me know what you have. I’m in Montreal and happy to drive for pickup.
Quoted from flashinstinct:For the right price someone can rip my Deadpool HUO Pro with Shaker out of my hands.
I'm not actively looking for one but pm me an idea what the right price might be? I could be interested.

A local operator had a pin in our RM House for a couple years. What was stopping you?
After completing my quest for Valinor, my HUO LOTR will be going for sale on Kijiji very soon. Will be posting my really nice TZ as well.
Willing to trade +/- if anyone is interested in either machine... looking for JJPOTC, Metallica or Iron Man. Would consider other JJP titles as well.
Edit: Only looking for the above machines in trade offers, please don't offer other titles. Thanks.

I'm not an operator. I'm just some guy.
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:I'm not an operator. I'm just some guy.
I'm still not understanding what's stopping you from doing what you suggested you wanted to do.
All operators are just some guy or gal. I started operating as just a guy.
I just don't understand how Stern would be the one stopping you from doing anything. Maybe reach out to Player One and see if you could get the ball rolling? I'd think you would have better luck with a somewhat local company. Good on ya for donating your time to a worthy cause.

I agree with Pokey, places like RM rely on the kindness of others... we have put over 6 different games at our local RM house and they all get played heavily. It feels the heart, and they are crazy appreciative of the donation.

Stern works thru distributors so they likely wouldn't the right door to knock on although I 100% agree the expectation of a courtesy response was not too much to expect.
Without someone being a licensed non profit organization it would be difficult for Stern to ensure the machine they gave someone at a discount would go where it was intended to go.
This would need to be done thru a local distributor. And since their margin is very small I wouldn't expect much of a discount.
The best you could hope for would be at cost... maybe a few hundred bucks.
But at least then the distributor would have a direct relationship with the person intending on doing the good deed and can probably better ensure it's actually happening.
And I agree with some of the previous comments, that places like cancer clinics, rehab facilities and RM Houses are probably good fits for them.

The Fun Cruise is up for sale on Kijiji. Asking price is $600. Not a horrible markup if you consider that (with Auction fees) it probably cost the original purchaser $400 to pickup.
Donate a game to play at Yegpin this year, and have a chance to win a NIB Munsters pro pinball machine from Nitro Pinball.
I will be bringing my Mint modded Williams IJ and Congo for the tournament play. Congo will be in the free play area as well I believe.
Possibly more, depending what else I have by then.
Hello pinside,
I'm currently talking to another member about possibly shipping my first pin (the shipping, not the pin). He seems like he is on the up and up but I have been mislead in the past. If anyone here has purchased a shopped game from transprtr4u please let me know. I just want to verify he is a trustworthy pinhead before sending any kind of payment or anything. Thanks so much
Shipping/etransfers are scary territory

It is a low production pin. It might be the last flipperless pin made. There are 2 versions Fun Cruise and Deluxe Fun Cruise. Also an AAB version called Gay Cruise. It has no flippers but the lower kickers are very strong and will get the ball back to the top of the playfield.

I have purchased from him and his work is very detailed and thorough. He is more than on the level. I actually helped him prep/load a pin for shipment a few weeks ago.
You will not be disappointed with Rob. Stand up guy!
Rob is a solid dude, trustworthy and a good guy you will have a smooth transaction.

I don't know of this Rob, but he sounds like a good person.
I'd deal with confidence as I trust many of those who vouched for him

Wow! Beautiful looking game. Worth every penny.
Aqua pin is a good honest guy, don’t hesitate to deal with him.
Selling my Gottlieb Playball to make room for something else; in decent shape and plays well. I went over it last Summer when I bought it (replaced rubbers, all bulbs, and did some mech cleaning and adjustment to get it playing as close to perfect as possible ).
Game is located in Victoria , BC.

In the hunt for early electronic Bally & Stern pins. Prefer projects or parts games, or reasonably priced working ones. Must be able to pack/skid to a depot near you. Looking for myself & others in Halifax or N.S. area.
Anyone know how to list Canadian events on pinside? When I go to events page all I see is filter for 5 countries and Canada is not one of them.
Quoted from Aquapin:Selling my Tron Pro; can ship through Nitro. Open to sell or trades +/- cash (local trade only).
