I had a MSP layover tonight, and brobra picked me up for a pilgrimage to SS Billiards to meet
LTG and play his games. I got my first experience with BBB, and had some fun chats. By the time I got back to the hotel, I saw a few posts by Lloyd in the Cactus Canyon thread that were probably typed while I was there: a funny intersection of the online and real world experience.

Quoted from Dan_Halen:Was this right after I left?! Dang it!!
Sorry Dan. It was tonight. Came in around 10pm.

It was fun to see SS Billiards hopping last night. Folks playing pool, vids, and pinballs, and the old guys chewing the fat.

Looking for a scared stiff would consider a trade involving and Acdc premium or just go for a full sale.
Quoted from EJS:I feel like I’m starting my day the brobra way. Not picking up any pins though

Love the shot in the mirror of the sunrise and the truck climbing over a hill. So cool.
If anyone is into virtual builds I have a complete project sans the monitors. High speed solid state drive, water cooled cpu, high-end geo force gtx card, wide body cabinet, decals for head…would make an incredible build for someone into this sort of thing. Just don’t have the bandwidth or interest to complete….there’s well over 3k in materials there alone.
Good Sunday morning. Meeting fellow pinsiders Helping games get to the right spots lightning quick, full service end to end, with many happy endings

Here’s a better shot from a friend who was there last week….
Quoted from HoneyBadger:Nice!!! POW is a great game! Congrats
So it’s 1200 to the public, less for a Pinsider, and free to a family of a service member.
Thank you for your service to our great, yet slightly f*cked up, nation

It’s so funny, I’ve always generally stayed away from video games for the following reasons, number 1 being paramount.
1) the video game crowd is extremely cheap.
2) they are fickle.
3) they carry a lethal charge.
4) they suck to move and store.

Funny! I know a guy with 5 copies of WAR Final Assault that he swears are worth $2500 a piece (probably what he paid for them an Eon ago), and he wanted me to help sell them for him. The best I could find for recent sales were $250 a piece and he lost his mind and told me I was crazy.
Also, I smashed my fingers between two of them moving them (without his help) and they were numb for a week, so yeah, moving them fucking sucks.

The buyers won’t pay. It’s crazy. Moved 3, one a day, for last few days, by myself.
The last one is huge and has two parts.
Not looking forward to it
Civil war organ if anyone is looking….
Check out the night sky to see Jupiter and Venus converging…

Rare-ish Bad Cats system 11 if anyone is looking. Going to clean it up and she should shine fairly well.
PM with interest prior to listing.
Open for trades also.
Quoted from roffels:I've got a coworker that would love a Bad Cats but I bet the $$$ would scare them away. They've never owned a game before.
Yeah, pinside price is 5500 believe it or not.
I’m excited about this one. Believe it has an early production all orange cabinet. That in particular turned me on.
If anyone has any spare plastics around, I believed I need the right drop area plastic and right along shot plastic.

Haha yeah, I was talking with them before I saw your post yesterday, and they said they wanted one, and I asked "Well, do you have $3000?" then checked pinside prices and had a bit of sticker shock myself. I had no idea any unrestored System 11 games had crossed the $5k barrier. That prices me out too. Kind of wild, but it looks like a fun game!

It’s a cat persons game. Rolling with a jungle cat right now.

She’s cleaning well. Playfield is very good for this era. Some elbow grease and diluted degreaser on the cab went a long way.
Quoted from Krupps4:Looks fantastic! Really nice work.
Yeah, it was a tight ass 30 “ exit, shrink wrapped head barely fit through cellar door.
Awesome original paint and silkscreen.
Awesome pf with factory Mylar keeping things pristine. heavy elbow grease and diluted grease thinner did wonders for cab.
Novus additionally got the remaining black rubs, notably the line between cat’s tail near front.
Was contemplating matching and touch ups but fuck it; clean up og style; priceless.
Old side vs. new…

Pro tip, if degreaser purple magic can handle, hit with Novus 2
Quoted from roffels:Roughly what kind of ratio were you using for the degreaser/water?
5-10:100
A few random shots from the week.
PM with interest on trades on any of these:
Spanish eyes
Double barrel
Johnny Mnemonic
Judge Dredd
No fear
Special force

Quoted from EJS:What a bunch of goofy looking weird….oh shit that’s me.
That's good.
LTG : )
Quoted from EJS:If I can find a good backglass for that double barrel I think I see that in my collection
BG Resto did one. With 700 units from 1961, it’s a nearly impossible Backglass find.
Played here, and she’s super fun, yet brutal. (Just like my wife, lol
Treacherous route on way to Fargo.
