Quoted from Atomicboy:Easy, could just be a quick typo. Besides, I'm sure there are a few people in Yellowknife that can't spell Yellowknife
It was a joke, but obviously not a funny one. Why so serious, Canadian pinside?

Then put a smiley 
Just looked as though you were serious. No biggie.

Cuz you sounded like a dick, use emoticons or think before posting.
Profile updated using my PC this time, not the Ipad. I already have a Road Kings, however also in the search for a second game to help with doing a comparison with the restoration. I intend on having one excellent restored game to keep and the second one will be in working condition and sold once project is finished.
Quoted from pinchamp:X-Men Magneto with custom topper, custom shooter rod, LED's and light up flipper buttons. Home use only. A real beauty. $5900
Gone to a new home. New owner very happy.
Quoted from zio:Does anyone have a Road Kings they want to sell? Needs to be in working condition.
IIRC there was one on Vancouver CL a few weeks ago, put a wanted ad up on CL and you may catch someone trying to flip it.
Good luck with your search. Last time I played RK was in the back in 1986 in the finals of the UK pinball Wizard Champs 
BTW Zio is a very real person and one of the nicest pinball collectors I know
Anyone want a set of Lollipop decals for your Wizard of Oz, from Wozmods.com?
I may have had a few to many drinks before ordering last night! Got the shipped email this morning, whoops.
Anyway I got 2 sets coming, only want/need one. They are $19.95 plus $4 shipping. Looking for $12 shipped anywhere in Canada. ( so I can buy the Crystal ball decals I actually wanted, lol )

New year, new plan, going to list all my pins to pursue another passion with my family. First up...
Stern combo for sale:
TFLE loaded with mods (topper, led backbox mod, mirror blades, game has everything )
SM with lots of mods ( alt backglass, full leds, custom slingshots, topper, speaker leds, etc )
I know the TFLE is HUO, suspect the SM is as well. Both goodie bags stapled to cab. Original parts and extra's included.
Package price $10K
Will not sell SM alone right now, will sell TFLE for $4450.
-I should add, no shipping unless you arrange it. Also, my games have been seen by many Pinsiders and I take pride in maintaining and upgrading them and can provide numerous references if needed.
Anyone have a nice STTNG they are ready to part with?

Holy Spencer, you change gears hard. You just got head long into the hobby 18 months ago and now your getting out in a big way. I give you credit, you don't do anything half-assed in life. Good luck in the new endeavors.

Well to be fair, I may have over spoken abit. I will be keeping my WOZLE and most likely TZ. Im just stuck in that place right now where my family wants to move on, they don't play the games, nor do they really like them. They want Pacman and skeeball and kids stuff. I was hoping they would take to it more but it hasn't happened. If I don't play them, they would sit for weeks and collect dust and that's just a waste when I'm sure someone else would enjoy them. I may buy a few cheaper titles if the kids enjoy them but right now, they only want JP, so we shall see...
Id prefer to sell them one at a time and see how that goes but the lack of interest in TFLE is having me think a little different.
I think I will always own at least one because I really do love the hobby but if im the only one playing them, there is no point in having 6.

Invite some friends over, I am the only only playing them in my house but I still want more.
If I can host 20+ people in my house with only 4 machines, anyone can do it... One of the most joys I get out of my collection is other people seeing them and playing them, had a Christmas party over here last night there were ton of kids and adults enjoying the games. As well whenever we have the pinball group over it is always a good time. I do understand thou my family doesn't play them either but are very supportive of me having them as they can see the joy I get out of them and others when they are played. GLWS.

I understand. It's the same in my house too. I'm the only one who plays the games unless I have a party and then they get lots of love.

Quoted from smiley:Invite some friends over, I am the only only playing them in my house but I still want more.
Quoted from Williampinball:Yes same here just me that ever plays them so I always keep my room full
It's my sanctuary. I'm actually glad they don't play them. It's my place, there is nothing downstairs that my wife or daughters need to concern themselves with at all, so that floor is mine.
I used to wish they would play more, but honestly, I'm glad I have the retreat somedays when they all go ultrasonic on each other. F that noise.

That's how things work at my house also it's the only way
Quoted from YKpinballer:haha, nothing like drowning out the wife with some Metallica cranked up to 11.
what did you say
After you've had 5+ games you sort of lose perspective, because even having one game usually blows people's minds when they come over, never mind the 7 or so I have now - or the 33 I had at one point!
My wife posted a photo of me with our newborn to Facebook but the vast majority of comments were about the games in the background...
I'd love it if my wife liked pinball but I'm fine with it being my thing alone, and even if it goes a week or more without any of them getting played, that's fine. I have a couple of parties a year and they get played to death. I could never give them all up.
Yea same here it's only me that plays them unless I have friends over then it's nuts having all them on at the same time my wife knows I really love them and she leaves me alone ,it's just a winter thing for me most of the time

Exactly. I leave her alone when she cooks and cleans and does her "stuff", so it's only fair

You went from 31 to 5?? I'm envious. I wish I could even downsize to even 10 from the 28 I currently have. I love them all, but the sheer maintenance is a pain, and I know I could still play for just as long in a night with a fraction of what I have and be content.
On paper, it seems easy, but then time to look around the room and pick which ones I could drop, and it's like "ok, let's start with the first one...... ummmm..... ok, this is insane" 
It's funny, when I first started out, like most, I was envious of people with 10, 15, 30 machines, thinking wow, that's nuts, but man, if I could only own that many one day....
Now I'm more fascinated with people that have found a way to scale it back for the sanity aspect, and basically went to hell and back but are still active.
Quoted from Atomicboy:You went from 31 to 5?? I'm envious. I wish I could even downsize to even 10 from the 28 I currently have.
I moved and only had room for 5. Yet I still have two in the garage!
I'd love to have the space for 33 again. There's something to like in every game.

Is there any way that we can get our wives to like pinball and be cool with us buying multiple pins?
Quoted from SuperPinball:Is there any way that we can get our wives to like pinball and be cool with us buying multiple pins?
Why do you think I own Eatpm, Wozle, have massive posters/collections signed by Reese Witherspoon and Britney Spears, the Girls Next Door, etc.... and to top it off, have Barbies all over my basement? lol.
-Problem solved. Except for space!

Take your phone n take a pic of all the posters then throw them out. U have successfully digitalized the media which fits onto a usb stick. Think of how much u just reclaimed. Heck make extra copies just in case something happens
There's no place like home!!!
Quoted from Spencer:Barbies all over my basement?
...where the pinball machines are?? Please say no regardless of answer...
Quoted from SuperPinball:Is there any way that we can get our wives to like pinball and be cool with us buying multiple pins?
You have to make deals with those evil creatures, that's how I got full rein of my basement and the ability to buy what I want. Well that, and I make a LOT more than her and I hold that over her head
As for liking pinball, meh, who cares. *Be careful*, there are a few people here that have reported their interested woe-men beating them on league nights, and putting up the grand champions on their machines. Nothing emasculates a man and drives him out of a hobby like this.

I have no idea what your taking about. Except that you disprove of visual media being displayed??
Quoted from Atomicboy:...where the pinball machines are?? Please say no regardless of answer...
Lol, yup same room, how dare I right????? ( only the front room though )My goal was to create a Planet Hollywood feel in my basement and I have received nothing but great comments from everyone who has seen it...
Here's a partial view of my front room....
Room looks great! You selling your TOM?
