Quoted from woz:You wouldn't want it right now - it needs restoring. Oh and it's in a Cleopatra cabinet currently being controlled by a Raspberry Pi
Whenever I have lots of cash I can't find anything I want, whenever I have none they are all over the place. I got 5-6k to blow on pins right now...just gotta find the right person / game(s)

Quoted from woz:I've read good things about "300"
I liked Bow and Arrow better. Neither of those I had were keepers though...
Quoted from Drano:Hard to find a 'keeper' EM. They all tend to get a bit one-dimensional after a while.
I prefer to own single player Gottlieb wedgeheads. They have progression from ball to ball... so you're not starting from scratch on every ball, like you do on most multi-player EMs.
If I had to pick one that could last a while, I'd say Centigrade 37 is a good one. I also really enjoy my Volley and Golden Arrow... but I would never call them keepers.
There are also some great early ss that feel and play like an EM and are great fun. Look at Joker Poker... maybe a Countdown? I'm sure there are many many more.
Great advice, Joker poker is high on my list, or Card Whiz, C37, looking for something in pristine condition. Lots of other great ones out there! I love the look and size of those wedgeheads for sure

I have a 1976 Williams Grand Prix EM in Kamloops. Needs a couple adjustments (bonus spinners/player unit), but it plays well. I also have some new parts for it like (flipper rebuild kit, saucer plastic, chime rebuild kit, etc.) I just got a new dual sport motorbike, and just don't have time to work on it to get it 100%. Has new rubber installed...
700obo...can send pics...send me a PM if interested...would prefer local sale, no shipping.
Here are some shots of the Grand Prix:

I'm thinking about selling my Bram Stoker's Dracula in Kamloops, BC. One of the nicest games I've ever owned and one of my favourite pins of all time. But I got some debts to pay down (Suzuki DRZ400 motorbike), and it's not getting played as much as she used to. I haven't taken any pics yet. PM me if you're interested, or someone talk me out of it lol. Little to zero fade, no wear, plays perfect. Has red LED flipper buttons, coin door head phone plug, few LED's. Gonna be asking 4k Canadian firm. Will take pics at some point, but I kinda don't wanna sell it, so I've been dragging my feet lol....
May consider trades of a lesser value pin + cash as well....

Quoted from extraballingtmc:Tron gets pretty boring fast. Wwe could be more fun. No upper playfield on tron for one.
Hhaha, WWE could be fun...I am a former WWF fan from the early days of Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Savage, etc
Upper playfields usually suck anyhow....
Oh, and Tron is one of the best pins ever made...IMO...Addam's Family can get boring too, and it's also one of the best games ever made.

Quoted from violinfather:So three trade options plus cash interest me. Which is the best option for a single pin adult family? We are all newbie players so don't want a quick draining game. The games are AC/DC Pro, Stern IJ and The Sopranos. I love the theme of all three.
ACDC and change the music with pinball browser

Quoted from pinballophobe:Anyone out there have a wrestlemania LE?
Just want to know
-how you like it?
-where you got it from?
-price?
I got a quote from nitro back in January. I can realistically only buy 1 pin this year at nib le price and with Game of Thrones rumored to be coming out. I have been holding out on the WMLE. But I kind of have that itch again.
Thanks
I'd skip WWE, way better pins out there IMO.

Big Bang Bar framed translite for sale in Kamloops, BC.
The professional framing alone was close to 300 bucks. Translite was new when framed.

***SOLD***
I'm also looking for a new game. Anyone in Western Canada got a Quicksilver, Stargazer, Volley, Surfer, Joker Poker, maybe a Whirlwind, or BK2K, basically looking for an older game preDMD. Posting a wanted add in Western Canada is probably pointless. But just wanted to throw it out there, that I'm looking for another game to put beside Tron

Quoted from str8cash:Anyone tried titan's competitions rubbers? They're bouncy but have crazy colors available. I like pinball lifes too. My last teardown had superbands on the flippers and were so tight I had to cut them off.
I have titan comps on my Tron and they play great IMO. Nice bounce off the flippers, unlike superbands which I had before and they were dead and stiff.

I'm not sure what scam he was trying to pull, but I don't think he will respond back to me now after I called him on it. I smelled scam right away, but was curious enough to fire him an email anyhow....

Yes, never should have sold mine.

Home edition.

Quoted from aeonblack:Call me crazy, but I would take a Jackbot over both the others. BOP would be my last choice for sure.
Not crazy, Jackbot is by far the best out of the 3 imo. I owned one and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Maybe it's because I have access to jackbot on location and just can't stand the sounds is the reason i dislike it so much. Why didn't they create a new game instead of rehashing pinbot in a casino? Pinbot blows jackbot out of the water in sounds and lightshow imo but to each their own.
Jackbot wins for a better ruleset though
Quoted from vex:If in doubt move on is my motto. Not worth the drama.
The better question is why would you even want one? I wouldn't buy that game for 2k. Have you played it?

12k Canadian for a HUO Maiden premium, original owner, with no playfield issues fair?
Come get it in Kamloops before I change my mind. I need money for a new truck.
Take my Meteor too. Players condition, 3k or 2k if you buy Maiden too
Meteor is listed. It's in unrestored players condition, but I've owned it for 5 or 6 years now and it plays great. Has some wear here and there, some light sockets could be replaced or cleaned, etc. Come and try it out.

Quoted from JustAnotherYoyo:I just installed ColorDMD's on 11 of my machines. While pricey, I have no regrets. They all work perfectly and I feel the upgrade is definitely worth it. I prefer the LCD screens over the LED ones, but I understand some people preferring the LED's as they look more like DMD/ pinball screens.
