Two new projects I just picked up. I was hoping High Speed would be in better shape but for the price, I guess it's worth my time, you tell me if I'm wrong.. Here are some pics..

How can we tell if you got a deal if you don't list the price you paid?

#3 9 years ago

You didn't tell us the price so I guess we can't judge.

And Silverball Mania..

was the Hitch poster a freebie?

#6 9 years ago

You have to factor in the sweet cigarette holder in the price!

#7 9 years ago

Bought both pins and a multi-cade which is kind of a toy but what the heck, for $800..

High Speed has double mylar in some spots with quite a bit of bubbling, some inserts popping up, missing traffic light, needs a bunch of small stuff and some TLC, cabinet is "ok", backglass is shot (lots of bubbling and some flaking), some lights out, almost all backbox lights are out..

Silverball is decent, plafield has some wear, needs a good cleaning but both games seems to work ok.

Whatcha think?

#8 9 years ago

Cant go wrong for 400 a piece.

#9 9 years ago

Hitch was not a freebie

Cigarette holder was the big selling point, obviously

#10 9 years ago

I planned on selling the multi-cade so the pins would feel like more of a deal for me since I didn't want the arcade anyway, kind of a cheapie..

#11 9 years ago

Deleted my post because you answered the question while I was typing it.

#12 9 years ago

you just love Hitch? I thought I was the only one....

Good price though.

#13 9 years ago

I got it as a gift, but yes, I do love hitch

The guy I bought these from was a friend of a coworker. He's not a pinhead at all, he bought them to play in his shop, bought them and plugged them in, no maintenance or even opened the things up. Filthy machines, not leveled, very slow and boring to play.

I'll get these things running nice though

#14 9 years ago

Meh not to bad at least they kinda work.

It tips out to empty, right?

#16 9 years ago

You did good....

#17 9 years ago

Silverball looks better than most games I have seen

Yeah, they both seems to work pretty well..

Quoted from dothedoo:

Yeah, haha.

Quoted from PopBumperPete:

Cool, pictures make it look a tad better than in person but should clean up well

#19 9 years ago

Good price and always fun to have winter projects.

#20 9 years ago

For sure, thanks

#21 9 years ago

After a little work, that high speed is easily going to be worth more than you paid for all three. You got a great deal.

Terrific score on your part.

Enjoy.

#24 9 years ago

Good deal as far as I can tell....I would've done it! (High Speed was my first, btw.)

#25 9 years ago

400 a piece pretty good...vintage cig holder a nice piece too from by gone era.

#26 9 years ago

great deal !

#27 9 years ago

Gonna have to tape over the naughty bits on that SBM if there are young'ns in the house

#28 9 years ago

Sell the multicade to finance some smokes, and you're ready for an evening of bargain smoking and pinball!

#29 9 years ago

Yup, I'd say the High Speed alone is worth what you paid if it's working properly.

#30 9 years ago

Silverball is a great game, and probably has the best artwork in pinball ever.

#31 9 years ago

Comsidering you intend on selling the multi-Cade and could recoupe a large chunk of your investment, I would say you got a steal! Even if you were to not sell the multi-Cade, I still think you got and amazing deal! Congrats!

#32 9 years ago

I'll be honest, I kind of want to buy that cig holder from you. I'm always smoking and playing with a cig hanging out of my mouth like a hillbilly.

#33 9 years ago

I would snapped this up in a heart beat!

I couldn't find them on their site

#37 9 years ago

Decent price. Nice to see a Silverball WITHOUT hasp bar holes, humongous carriage bolts and swinging bar wear in front of the coin door!

99% of everything they have is not on their site, just email them.

#39 9 years ago

If that hitch poster was part of the deal you got ripped off.

That face that someone, somewhere has a Hitch poster on the wall of their game room just blew mind and made my morning simultaneously.
