    Hi guys I have decided to try and make a pinball players meeting on the east side of phoenix az every two weeks.

    First one im trying to get going not this weekend but next. July 13-15.

    Things will be determined by the pinsiders who come.
    So far we have 4 confirmed hosts for the event: jdawg4422, grh450, squeakman, and copperpot maybe another when i get a confirmation from him.

    And i know that donnyman was interested as well as jeffinphx.

    These are just the people that i have personally met from my pinball adventures im hopeful that there will be more interested as time goes on. If you are interested please pm me or reply to this topic.

    Also if you are interested in hosting please pm me or reply to the topic as well.

    If you are not on the east side you are still welcome to come, but as of now i would like to try and keep the hosts on the east side.

    So let me know what you guys think.

    #2 11 years ago

    let's do it...(but I may have 1 less machine)

    #3 11 years ago

    Ok Glen, I don't know you yet, but what do you have up your sleeve? I see your Tron for sale!!!

    #4 11 years ago

    hey, i wanna be part of this but i'm tied up that weekend. I'll host up at my place any time you all want. You know the way up by now. Getting in a couple more decent pins. Keep me appraised.

    #5 11 years ago

    Doc... would love if you could make it down sometime.

    #6 11 years ago
    Quoted from Squeakman:

    Ok Glen, I don't know you yet, but what do you have up your sleeve? I see your Tron for sale!!!

    yes,just posted up the TRON for sale..hope to check out your BSD soon

    yeah

    #8 11 years ago

    I'll make it down there for one of them. I'm out of the state a lot. How bout you zonies come up when I get in Wolv x-man? Or Predator? And I might be getting in one or two others pretty soon. Why are you selling Tron? I just got my suped up Tron and love it (though not as much as ACDC)

    it's Angus' fault

    im def down when you get predator in. For some reason that is the new game im looking forward to the most.

    Glenn what are you thinking about replacing tron with? Also was wondering if you would like to host the first week? maybe you will still have tron then? And im not going to lie im jonesing to play some ac/dc.

    Also what do you guys think about the day? should it always be fri night, sat day/night, or sun day? Or should we have it so that the hosts picks that week?

    #11 11 years ago

    Hosts should probably pick, but Thurs/Fri are the best for me.

    #12 11 years ago

    Sounds like fun, ill let you know. I just need to check my schedule at work. Everyone wants a vacation in July

    #13 11 years ago

    I'd be interested in attending these...I would have to drive a little over 200 miles each way, so Saturday and Sunday work best here if we are taking a poll.

    I would obviously not make it EVERY weekend either.

    #14 11 years ago

    Sweet.... keep me in the loop!

    #15 11 years ago

    got a couple leads on the TRON
    I could host the first week (looks like Wes needs it to be Friday night)
    Maybe we could change up the days,to fit with whoever is hosting?
    Dawg,you,or any one of you guys,can come over any time

    Ok thats what i was thinking as well. We will let hosts pick what day is best for them since they might have to get an ok from the rest of the household.

    Glenn lets go ahead and plan on you for the first meet. So i guess that means you get to pick the time.

    I think we should have atleast 2-3 hours set aside for this on the day of. If people want to stay longer they can as long as its ok with the host. This sound good to most people?

    #18 11 years ago

    FRIDAY the 13th...(ooooooooh)
    7:00 PM
    4466 S Alamos Way,Gold Canyon
    who's in???

    #19 11 years ago

    Gold Canyon? Thats a longgggggg way out... may have to carpool. 8-)

    #20 11 years ago
    Quoted from Squeakman:

    we can meet up and car pool if you want to. AC/DC is worth it if you have not played yet.

    #21 11 years ago

    I go to Chandler for some of my customers. 30 mins,tops

    #22 11 years ago

    Weekends are best for me. I'm in the NW valley, but I'd try to make it out to the East side when possible.

    #23 11 years ago

    great to see us zonies getting together. X-men will be in soon, JJ say, so we'll do one at my house if some of you are interested in the trek up here.

    #24 11 years ago

    Just visiting your fine state for work this week, and a new forum guy. But saying that, having just visited Glen at his house last night to look at his Tron table.. and seeing his great set up... I'm tempted to come back down just to play! Thanks againn Glen, I'm pretty green with envy that you guys have such a collection of players in such close proximity!

    you getting wolverine as well? I think copperpot and donnyman are also getting xmen wolverine.

    Is there any timeline on predator yet?

    And to those that cant make this one for whatever reason, the plan is to have them every two weeks or so. So there will be plenty to come to in the future.

    Yes, wolverine. Predator, they told me early fall. BTW the european Nemo may come about the same time.

    #29 11 years ago

    Yep, Hopefully XMLE comes soon. Small world, the same guys that took my TOTAN to get delivered to Illinois, delivered a pin too docscott. They said they had to hand carry it because of his bumpy dirt road coming in. They didnt remember which one though. Yeah I can make it to your pinball get together. Im off that sat and sun. PM me the info. Sounds fun.

    #30 11 years ago

    I am interested in playing as well. I was at C & C last Sunday for the SC/DC tournament.

    1 week later
    #31 11 years ago

    Ok so the week is here and the meetup is this friday. For all of those who were interested in coming please pm me your email address, so i can send out a mass mail message every meet. If you would rather me text your phone it can be done as an email ex. 6025889665 on tmobile would be [email protected]

    it is different for different carriers.
    In a couple days i will send out the address via email/txt.

    Looks like the lineup this week will be ac/dc, addams family, getaway, and comet. I believe the tron is now gone?

    #32 11 years ago

    yeah TRON is GONE
    I will be going to Cali tomorrow,and will bring something back(prolly just a regular pin)

    #33 11 years ago

    Bsd is coming to Glenns house.?

    #34 11 years ago

    I will have to watch this one. I can't really get away much, but if things ever worked out, I'd love to visit some in-state members.

    #35 11 years ago
    Quoted from Squeakman:

    Bsd is coming to Glenns house.?

    he SOLD it!
    I am really scrambling now....

    I think I can save you guys a whole lot of time and trouble. Glenn meet Chad. Chad meet Glenn. It sounds like you want a BSD, Glenn. Chad has one that he has been pimping on RGP and in here for weeks. It's a local deal, and would save a ton of unnecessary posts on the forums. Sounds like a win-win to me.

    #37 11 years ago

    Any of you guys pick up a routed MM recently? It's still on location, but the op says that it's sold. I just found it recently and have all of 2 games on it, so thanks for stealing some thunder :p

    #38 11 years ago

    Mark if you are coming then you have to play with one hand to make it fair for the rest of us!

    j/k would love to have you.

    LOL...I know. Me and Chad have been PMing and stuff. He is mainly looking for a trade deal

    The vending company that owns it was selling off their entire inventory a few weeks ago, I talked to the guy, then 2 days later drove to Tucson to look at a couple machines I was interested in that he had given me the locations of.....he was supposed to meet me a 3pm to discuss the possible purchase of the machines I was interested in after looking at them, and he stood me up, never did return any of my calls. Then the next day his list of games dissapeared where he had them online.

    I think someone probably offered him some huge amout for the whole lot, and he took it. He also had video games and pool/foosball tables.

    All I can say to all you guys is look closley at any machine coming up for sale......these machines were ALL in fairly bad shape cosmetically, if one person bought them all, you can bet it was to re-sell them.

    Some of the prices were great, some so-so. The MM was really low. I know where it is and it didn't look too bad but the GI looks to be all out, so I couldn't see too well. His BOP was pretty bad, but I think a buddy is going to pick it up anyway, but offer less than asking due to the condition. I talked to him shortly after he pulled the ad and info and he said that ~$35k worth of machines are headed up to PHX sight unseen. Mistake IMO, but whatever. I would be much more choosey before dropping that kind of cash, even to flip.

    Yeah, I looked at the MM, BOP, AF, CV, CFTBL, and Hurricane. BOP and AF were the worst by far, in fact, the AF was not even worth $500.00....it was that bad.

    Wow, I'm going to check out TAF on Friday and go back and play BOP some more. I am first in line on his last TZ, should find out more in the next 3-4 weeks.

    So are some of these still for sale?
    The guy just totally blew me off......didn't meet me as scheduled, and didn't return calls.
    I think you will agree on the TAF, almost worthless.

    As far as I know they are. He said he pulled stuff down because he was completely swamped with calls and buyers. He was expecting a call a week, if that. Caught off guard and needed time to organize and then get back with people. I don't know what games are as good as gone, except for MM which I asked about.

    I know that the BOP and HOOK are still available, and my friend is first on the list for those two.

    There are 3-4 at Bedroxx bowling on the way NW side that he played and said were pretty fun. Outside of that, I don't remember where things were supposed to be.

    Guess I'll try to call again. Would really like to have the Hurricane if it' still available, just not for what he was asking.....
    One of the first things I was going to ask him after looking at these was "when was the last time you have actually LOOKED at some of these and the condition they are in"?

    Probably a long time on some of them. BOP is really needing some TLC parts wise. The PF is filthy, but that is a savior at times according to some stories on here. There is one paint spot that is down to the wood, and it could use a clear coating for sure. All things to knock prices down.

    #50 11 years ago

    I need one more machine. Can you guys help me out down there?
