Quoted from brobra:

Next adventure, Minneapolis to Kenosha area. Headed down from 8a to 2pm, headed back up from roughly 3p to 9pm.
Wpc stuff turns me on. Hit me up.

If you have something I want at a "can't pass it up" price I might buy, and you would be selling it within hours of procuring it. 90's WPC. Have anything?

A I’ll have some stuff on deck and will post the listing here. Hopefully another WD. Still hucking LOTRs my favorite game, and my bread and butter

I don’t know though, when I want to stop shorting and relax, nothing beats the nice pacing and pause of a nice WD.

I still have no idea what it weighs. I’m thinking 800lbs at least. It’s a very cool piece.

Any local roadies need utility cases?

So pinside should get geared up to focus on video games and other collectibles. KLOV is cool, but the pinside system and architecture is way superior, imo.

#413 3 years ago

Get ready for CRAPS dice action on TWITCH, tomorrow around 230p central.

I’ll be rolling for 7s off the line and hopefully avoiding 7s after the point.

Mike snapped a picture of Dave the other night. Dice are mid air.

Nice shot!
Would love to see a few with a high speed shutter stopping the dice cold mid-air.

My next thought is to eventually get two cameras mounted on the ceiling via the light fixtures for a more permanent solution if we are planning to stream a few weekends a month. That way it would resemble a table like you see computerized/ virtually and then have one or two more cameras pointed at the players/dice. In theory we could then shoot both directions and have up to 6 people playing at some point. Will need a second dealer when that happens.

#422 3 years ago

Looks like another WD is inbound. I’ll need to go through it; probably repair motors, and give it some TLC, but it appears to be fairly solid. I’m kind of pumped up about it. I’ll post pics once it’s in my lair.

Ralph’s lenticular cards are kind of sheeeet.

#430 3 years ago

Sometimes I strongly dislike custom colored powder coated trim, but that orange is stunning. The mirror blades, new hardware, color DMD, new dome. Straight up hard yet elegant work....”speechless” is right.
I’d buy that thing over any NIB current release all day long and on Sunday.

Did you happen to zoom in on the bottom side of the playfield that could be seen in the picture showing the inside of the cabinet? It looks as though a lot of the hard work was skipped, Rusty parts, and corrosion. If a complete restoration was done the bottom side of playfield should look great as well. I hate to critique some one else's work but for the asking price I would expect a full teardown of both top and bottom side of the playfield and rusty parts should have been tumbled or replaced.

Wow, didn’t notice that until you pointed it out. I just assumed based on the description and bling-ness of the whole deal. Yes, for that price and what has been done, that should be addressed for sure.

I miss mine, other than the damaged playfield from after the glass broke while on location.

This game is a lot easier once you can finger the right suspect based on the eye shifts.

If that's what you look for in a restoration, we'll have to agree to disagree on what that one has to offer.

Yeah. These are nice. The reel gears needed a good cleaning. Off to some new rubbers, naptha, wax. Left it all incandescent. The glass looks decent.

Well, I'm interested in your most recent Who Dunnit machine. I may even be interested in it if it needs some work, and would buy as is, depending on the price. Just let me know. Thanks.

A little house cleaning. Fundamental to make sure the reels on these guys go like hell. Clean that reel bezel too
