Im interested in your WOZ.
Ill shoot you a PM with my contact info.
Cheers
Kent

Dude, that thing is in a converted Tron.
If that cabinet is solid, theres usually someone looking for the cab to do a restore.

Pat, your more than welcome to come over to my place sometime and play it.
It may require drinking a few beers though.
Cheers
Kent

I know they bought one at ZapCon, did they wind up putting it in the bar?
If so, rad.

I bought one of them as well as a LUCI

Another option would be Fastenal which would be a bit cheaper but more work.
This is facility to facility shipping unlike Beltmen which is door to door.

Beltman will pick up from the seller and drop off at the buyers.
Basically they pick it up in a van or a box truck, take it to a shipping/sorting facially and put in on a simi with other people stuff heading for a major city located near wherever you are. Once it arrives it gets transferred to another box truck or van etc and gets delivered to wherever you want it. The quote will be more if your in a remote area, less if your close to the facility as it requires less driving etc.

Fastinal is facility to facility. I.E. the seller would take the machine to a shipping center in their town where its put on a pallet and blanketed up.
Its then shipped to another Fastinal facility where you would have to go and pick it up. Its a bit more effort, but generally a hundred to a couple hundred cheaper.

Did you wind up selling the Jurassic Park?
Noticed the ads not running any longer.

Nds777 = Good dude.
Hope you guys can work something out.

Thought you just got Judge Dredd.
You tired of it already? Or just fishing to see whats out there.

Kind of an odd request, but anybody local have a big buck hunter pro they want to sell?
Looking for a nice quality machine without problems.

Yeah, kind of a kooky game but my inner redneck feels drawn to it for some reason.

Yeah, just saw that.

List as "undocumented HOU" with no photos at 5K

Bitchin, glad that worked out.

I saw this pin in person this morning and I must say they are not exaggeration the condition.
This thing is like a time capsule from 2005, basically unplayed and mint as mint can be.
Unless you have a DeLorean with a Flux Capacitor and a tow hitch to hook up a trailer, you're not going to find a nicer machine than this.

If uncle Sam did not bend me over this year, I would probably buy this.

Cowabunga dude

Yep, that was ours.
Thanks for the compliment, a lot of work goes into bringing that much stuff and it’s nice to hear it appreciated (although maybe not by my back).
Glad to hear you got a chance to play it.
If you ever get up in the Cave Creek area and I’m around hit me up if you wanna play it again and maybe brink a few beers.
Cheers
Kent

Thanks man appreciate it.
I’ll be honest though and have to give credit where credit is due. Kris and Leslie over at Firebird pinball had a hand in either shopping or restoring many of those machines (at least half of them).
Kris Spaseff worked on a few of them as well.
Wish I could say it was all me, but I simply don’t have the time because of work and family.
I fix some of my own stuff as I have time, but it’s a lot more manageable once you’ve had someone go through the machine throughly. Those guys are like pinball cyborgs that live and breath pinball. We’re pretty blessed here in the valley with a really good group of knowledgeable pinball techs.

I really liked the Who Dunnit.
Didn’t put up a high score on it, but got rooftop champion.

Not 100% sure yet. The balls were getting stuck entertainment.
It wasn’t happening every game.
We would unjam them and then the error would clear from the test mode and it would play fine for a while. Walk away and come back a half hour later and they were stuck again. I took the coil apart on Saturday and replaced the sleeve (which was slightly warped).
It seemed to work the rest of the day then the problem persisted Sunday.
The consensus is that it’s either the opto sensors or I need to re-pin the connector. Either way I’ll dive into it this week. We basically finished unloading this evening and are now vegetating with a cocktail about to get caught up on Game of Thrones. Going to start setting everything back up tomorrow after work.

It’s going to be interesting to start going through the machines this week and see how they held up. 400-500 plays seems to be the average at a show like this. My brother in law and I spent a week going through everything before the show to make sure they were mostly dialed and not registering errors, but hey it’s pinball.
Sounds like there should be some interesting score to try and beat

The translucent bats were an eBay purchase. They look really cool, but are a bit on the fragile side and prone to cracking. Alright for home use but on a long enough timeline they will break. They look damn cool though.

Lol, will do.
I’m sure that Demo Man score is still good though. I walked by T2 at one point and there was a dude that had like 10x my best score.
Congrats on the No Fear.
Looks friggin sweet.

To be honest I don't know if he's active on the forums or not.
Probably best to text or call him.

The one I played at TPF did this. The ball comes down really fast and just flys off the wire form. I was immediately thinking if you put two post rubbers at the edd of the wireform it might correct that and act as a buffer or brake for the ball. My Jurassic park was doing a similar thing and that fixed it.
I played another machine while on a business trip in Illinois in April that didn’t seem to have this problem.
Played it for about an hour all by myself and didn’t happen once, so I guess it’s posdible it’s an adjustment?

BTW, really fun pin congrats.
Looking forward to playing it.

Aniraf
A couple quick questions about the venue as I’ve never been.
1) Do they serve food?
2) Are kids allowed (with parental supervision)?

Trying to figure out if Trish and I need to get someone to watch the kids or not.

Anybody local have an Indiana Jones that need the "lost plastic"?
This mounts to the back inside of the cabinet behind the rope bridge.

My machine already has one and I have a duplicate sitting around that is NOS, basically perfect and has never been installed on a machine.
Going through crap I don't need, so its free if you have the machine and can use it.
I'll let it sit in the local section for a week and if not one can use it, put it up in general for free plus shipping.
Cheers
Kent

I guess this subform won't let you upload images, but here is a link so you can see a photo of it.

https://klovimg.com/images/2019/07/15/IMG_3324.jpg

EDIT: This is now spoken for.

Its all yours Kris.

Trish and I are going to head down that way Saturday to check out the the event Aniraf is putting on.
You should show up, sounds like its going to be a good time. Ill even buy you a beer
Figured we would go check that out for a while and then take the kids to starfighters afterwards.

Kind of dead around here lately.
Anyone thinking about selling anything?

I really like my Data East Jurassic Park, so it's staying.
Haven't decided yet if I'll get the new one, I really wan't to play it first and see how I like it.

I did pick up a Monster Bash LE as well as Alice Coopers Nightmare castle so I got my fix (at least for a little while).

You have an open invite to come up here and play it.

Yeah, the guy that wound up with that is ok I suppose.

BTW, I saw this machine in person.
It is friggin gorgeous.

Someone else in Cave Creek! Very cool.
If you decide to sell your Aztec let me know.
I have a Space Odyssey and Grand Prix both same year Willams games that would be awesome in a row.

I applaud you for bringing EM's back to life.
There's not enough people doing that here.
Where in Cave Creek are you located?
We're up School house road a bit up the hill about a mile or so past the library.
If you ever want to stop by to play some pinball and maybe have a beer or two let me know.
Most of what's listed in our collection (with a couple exceptions) is currently in the house and working.

LOL, give into your desires.
Money can't buy you happiness, but I can sure buy you a pinball machine that will make you happy.

Sure, bring your son along.
How old is he?
Only curious because we have kids that are 8 and 10 and was wondering if they were similar age group.

Cool, I'll shoot you a PM so we don't derail and monopolize this thread.
Cheers
Kent

Awesome.
I still have yet to play one of these.
Guess I’m going to have to make a trip down there soon.

Turning a one pin collection into a two pin collection gets my vote.

Been quite in here lately.
Not much going on locally I suppose.

I’ve been spending my spare time cleaning out the garage.
Trying to tidy it up to where I can actually set up the overflow from the house out there where they can be played (inside the house is at full capacity).
It’s close, and I’m at the point where I’m exploring mini splits to keep it cool out there. Been selling off some arcade games to help free up the space as well as did some trading of arcade games for pins. Other than that, not a lot going on.
Curious to see what CGC and JJP have on the horizon. Other than that casually looking at late 70s-mid 80s solid states.

Got one cocktail pin in my near future, but other than that not a lot on the horizon.

Cool, I’ll shoot Jake a text later in the week with a couple questions.
I know a couple of arcade people locally that have done the same.
Figuring out what size or how many units I need based on the square footage is pretty straight forward.

I would be more curious to hear what other people did as far as insulation.
It’s a 3 bay garage and the previous owner did install foam board panels on the garage doors. I feel like I could probably double up on those though.

Ok, who up in Cave Creeks drives a black Toyota Tundra and just picked up a Stern Pirates of the Caribbean?
Saw you driving down Cave Creek rd just a few minutes ago.
Congrats!!!

Listed SEGA Jurassic Park Lost Worlds for sale or trade.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-jurassic-park-the-lost-world-17

Jurassic Park Lost Worlds is Sale Pending.

I don’t think there are any pinside member within a couple hours of page.
That’s a very small town in northern Arizona that boarders Utah. Closest would probably be Flagstaff, which is a couple hours. It’s 4 hours or so from the Phoenix metro area.

Yeah, but that’s the I-10 to California.
Shit, I normally pick up games for friends for free if I’m making the run anyway.

That was fun as hell.
Good dude and both machines are very clean.

Rearangement is the key to getting more machines to fit. It’s like an ongoing game of Tetris.

oliviarium
I was getting a new radiator and thermostat put in my truck a couple weeks ago and my mechanic asked if I used my lift gate much.
I kind of chuckled and we got into a conversation about moving Pinball machines.
Long story short he said he was in the process of buying a new house and it has a game room with a pool table.
He asked me if I had a firepower and I told him no, but asked why.
I guess it’s his favorite pinball machine from when he was a kid.
He told me to keep an eye out for one if one comes up for sale.
If you still have it I might contact him this week and see if he’s serious or not.

oliviarium
Also, I have an operator warehouse fresh Space Shuttle project I would trade you for the firepower (plus a little cash on my end) if you’re interested.
Descent cabinet, back glass is nice, playfield has old mylar (a few wear spots at the edge of the mylar). All in all it’s a nice machine if someone wants to put the work in. Hasn’t been plugged in for probably 20 years and is legitimately operator warehouse fresh.
Brought it back from California a few trips ago and it’s still folded up and wrapped up. Got too many other things I’m working on now and probably won’t get to this for 6 month to a year.

Just do it little by little like in The Shawshank Redemption and dump the dirt in your trash each week so no one notices.

Fred is the only licensed Stern dealer I’m aware of.

https://www.gameroom-goodies.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlsy9lor16wIVbR6tBh1ysgYsEAAYASAAEgIghfD_BwE

The skull lock is actually pretty bad ass though.

Some of the machines I play the most don’t even make the top 100.

There’s a few places locally where you can check it out and play it first if you’re interested in one. Check it out and see what you think.

Level 1
https://pinside.com/pinball/map/where-to-play/13710-level-1-arcade-bar-gilbert-az

Electric Bat
https://pinside.com/pinball/map/where-to-play/11724-electric-bat-arcade-tempe-az

I’ve played this machine in person on numerous occasions. Super clean machine that plays fast and problem free.
A true survivor that in great shape.

Those and also Level 1
If you plan your day right, you could hit all three.

https://pinside.com/pinball/map/where-to-play/11724-electric-bat-arcade-tempe-az

https://pinside.com/pinball/map/where-to-play/8018-starfighters-arcade-mesa-az

https://pinside.com/pinball/map/where-to-play/13710-level-1-arcade-bar-gilbert-az

True.
They have mostly new Sterns and 90s DMD era pins.

If he’s looking for a mix of eras, I agree Electric Bat and Starfighters are probably more what he’s looking for.

I still think making an arcade/bar hopping experience out of it is the way to go though.
Stop 1 = Level 1. Get some Gyro tacos and something to drink while you play some pins.
Stop 2 = Electric Bat. Get something to drink and play some more pins.
Stop 3 = Starfighter. Close out the night here and go home.

https://offerup.com/item/detail/980511576/

I’m pretty much in the same boat as a lot of you.
I haven’t played location Pinball at all since early March.
Nor have I been to a bar or eaten out in a restaurant since then.
Mostly hanging out at home and doing stuff here as well as going into the office.
In a normal year I’m on the road traveling about 1/3 of the year for work. This has basically been cut to zero.
Been on a few game pick ups and what not, but not much else all that exciting.
There’s a few people outside of immediate family and work that I hang out with, but in general it’s a pretty small bubble.

Yes, but not in the cousin loving sort of way.

Nice looking Popeye.

Convert the garage into another game room.

Awesome.
I know Danny put in a lot of hard work putting that place together.
Glad to hear they are able to open back up.

I believe he sold that when the new one came out.

What manufacturer/title?

Got a Little Joe Bally EM for sale or trade if anyone is interested.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-or-trade-little-joe-mostly-working-project#post-6102254

Also listed a Stern Galaxy project.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-or-trade-galaxy-pretty-bad-bud-salvageable

Awesome, I’m going to have to come over at some point and check out the new machine.

Just wanted to point out.
You don’t have room, yet you have Hercules on your wishlist.

All joking aside, there’s part of me that wants one as well. We were talking about it the other day that I could always just buy a conex box to put on the property just to put a Hercules in it.

Yep. The closest place I think you can play one is Banning.
If I ever built I giant hanger sized building on the property I might consider getting one for the novelty, otherwise it just take up too much room. The best thing about that machine is seeing the reactions on people’s faces when they see it for the first time

I’m probably going to be getting rid of a Williams Laser Ball and a Bally Lost World if anyone’s interested in a couple early solid states.

I want to see pictures of this thing set up once it arrives.
My wife keeps telling me she wants a guitar hero and thus far I’ve managed to dodge a bullet on that one.

Awesome.
Got my first shot on Thursday.

Looking to trade for a nice Metallica.
Fair value for fair value +/- cash on either end to make the deal correct and fair.

Things I have to offer that I’m thinking of getting rid of:

Williams Laser Ball
Bally Space Invaders
Bally Lost World
Williams Fire
Data East Lethal Weapon 3

Things I’m less interested in trading, but would for the right machine:
Capcom Airborne
Capcom Pinball Magic
Stern Orbitor 1

I also have a bunch of EM rifle and shooting games and would let go of a couple as part of the right trade.

Mostly just looking for a nice Metallica at the moment, but would entertain trades for anything on my wishlist.

I picked a nice one up at an estate sale a couple years ago for $300, so that’s 2.
Gave it to one of the dads at the the kids school just before Covid. Dude has helped me load the truck for ZapCon a couple times and helped me out with a lot of other stuff.
It was in good shape, but had sat for 30 years and needed gone through.
He spent most of his free time during quarantine going through it and has it working now pretty close to 100% now.
That ones up here in the Cave Creek area.

There you are.

Or hang it on the wall by a Super Chex

Dinning rooms are overrated

My wife approached me a couple years ago and said she would let me turn the formal dinning room into a second pinball room if I bought her a new Ford Explorer.
I went out and bought her a new vehicle the following week.
We only used the formal dining room like twice a year anyway on the holidays and seemed like wasted space.
Win win for everybody as it fit 11 more pins and 4 arcade game in the house.

I never did mention that I would have bought her the car anyway.

The wife and have thrown that idea around a bit over the last few years.
Might wind up doing it at some point.
We’re on 5 acres and I spent a lot of 2020 clearing the property. Mainly because of fire hazard, but also things like rodents scorpions and snakes. Still working on clearing, but as space opens up it really gives you ideas as to what you can do with it.

Dude, have you seen the guys in Norway that built the pinball club in an old bomb shelter?

Also Spooky is nearing the end of the Rick and Morty run. People in the low 700s are getting their build sheets and they are only making 750.

Anybody local interested in a Bally Lost World or Williams Lazer Ball before I list them or dump them at Captains?

What exactly are you looking for?
An old EM rifle game or something else?

Gotcha.
I don’t have one of those.
I do have a bunch of EM rifle games though.

Would you consider a Star Trek LE as partial trade?
I have one that’s the same model LE as the one in the other thread you were trying to buy.
It has a shitload of mods from the previous owner, plus a box of ones that were never installed. It’s HUO (me being the 2nd owner) and pretty darn nice.
I’m in Europe at the moment, but you can come up to the house and check it out when I get back.
Let me know.
Cheers
Kent

You can come over and play mine.

Well, let me know.
I’ve got an Alice Cooper as well (which is equally bad ass), but I think Jesse James has one also.

It’s hard as balls yet fun as hell.
Love battling me some monsters.
Sometimes it’s really brutal, but when you get into a good game it’s awesome.
