    I know it's a long shot but a guy from Melfort Sask area had a 1973 williams Travel Time stolen from his cabin and asked if i could ask people to keep an eye out. It worked, looked and played real nice and just trying to help him find it. If anyone from sask hears of one come up, pm me. thanks

    #1059 7 years ago
    Quoted from puck:

    That sucks.
    Did it have a serial number or any distinguishing features? I'll keep an eye out here in Edmonton.

    Ya man..it would suck for sure! ..But the pin has brand new rubber bands and the glass is worn out pretty good on the right side.

    #1061 7 years ago
    Quoted from smokedog:

    Maybe next week? So close now ...

    is this open today?!?! In saskatoon for the weekend & going to play pins today somewhere!! Wooot

    #1063 7 years ago

    Weak line up at sports on tap now.. tron,gladiators,streetfighter2(broken flipper,breakshot..

    #1064 7 years ago

    Its my 1st time here but The 3 playable games are fun... just expected more pins i guess

    #1068 7 years ago
    Quoted from smokedog:

    Tron is no slouch! Gladiators is a blast as well.
    We open Wednesday. Keep it on the down low though. Soft open.
    Soccer centre has great well playing pins. Bartari has Got. Ninos has Kiss and BSD.

    For sure! Tron was kicking my butt but awesome game..gladiator's was a blast too..

    #1080 7 years ago

    A "current line up" of pins on location's in canada sure would be a cool thread to read! Jus' saying!

    #1083 7 years ago

    #1105 7 years ago

    This thread took a turn I'm not enjoying.

    Come on down for the 1st tourney! You're only an airplane ride away..provided you already own a spandex wrestling outfit and willing to do an Mean Gene Okerlund interview

    #1182 7 years ago

    I think the 1st charity donation should go to getting him a wrestling singlet he will wear to yegpin!

    It doesn't take rocket appliances to host a pinball tourney

    Made it to Pokey's Pinball Cafe in Saskatoon yesterday and I could talk on and on about the amazing line up of pins on location!! But, I will mention the food first! So, effin' goood! I had the Cuban burger (to start!) Hand made beef patty, and a fried egg on top! I didn't put it down after I bit into the egg! The sweet potatoe fries were amazing too! Not heavy and greasy..also took home a traditional Cuban sandwich for lunch today! Took a bite of that too and the pork was damn good! Can't wait for lunch! Oh, and Nokomis IPA on tap too! Oh ya, 8 amazing pins ALL playing perfect! Good crowd, good food, goooood times

    #1256 7 years ago

    I drove 1400km yesterday and almost a 1000km's on Sunday just to join a few clubs! (BSD & JM) I think I'm done joining clubs for a while! But yegpin is only a month and a half away...yes, I have a pinball sickness! Hahaha

    If your friends spill drinks & smash the glass out with their fists at your house I think u need new friends! ROUTED typically get played almost every night while HUO most likely gets less plays and more respect. It's like buying a used car.. if it's a one owner vehicle or off a companie's fleet..which one are you going to generally want more? The one used by a bunch of random people who bag the shit out of it or the that you know the history of its use.

    Quoted from Meegis:

    Everything you said, while likely true for routed, is still not making a strong case, as this is all user based

    if everything he says is likely true..then it's making a pretty strong case!

    #1325 7 years ago

    Yes it's a vague term..but my understanding of the term in reference to pinball machines is that MOST LIKELY means it has not been abused in a public environment, and that it TYPICALLY doesn't get played every nite by random people who don't treat it as their own. So taken with a grain of salt & GENERALLY speaking Meegis, would you buy a one owner car or a fleet vehicle?

    #1336 7 years ago

    Two words for that sweet ass line up... Danny faakin Glover! Ok..almost 3 words. Haha

    #1353 7 years ago

    Random question: Would you rather have 2 older pins or 1 new pin?! Say the two older pins were..i dunno, Johnny Mnemonic & Dracula ..and the new pin was Aerosmith pro?! Hmmmm

    #1364 7 years ago
    Quoted from toasterman04:

    The new ones are nice.... but always available.... older ones ; you gotta grab them when they cross your path

    Yup..i love JM and Dracula is still kicking my ass.. It'd have to be a sweet new game..but I think I made the right choice!

    I'm just wondering if you guys noticed if the ball saved is turned off on the pins on location in your cities?!? I noticed they are turned of on most nice games in town here and it drives me nuts!

    #1406 7 years ago

    Haha!! I was coming on here to say I know the route owner would see my post! It by NO MEANS was a personal poke! I'm relatively new to playing pins at bars and was wondering if that's just how it is! I could also learn to not suck so much and utilize the ball save option a lil less often!

    #1407 7 years ago

    Your sweet pins still get my loonies Archer600!! Played 3 of them on 2 different locations this weekend! NGG , TaF, TSPP . Wish i owned any/all 3 of those games... they are all fun as faak! Does the ball saved get turned off for tournaments? I noticed on YouTube they turn extra ball off whenever possible for tourneys

    #1425 6 years ago

    Got a notice that these are coming up for sale soon..

    ok ..still haven't heard Tommy's big announcement yet.. so time to speculate! I figured he either stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last nite, or he saved a ton on his insurance by switching to Geico. Of course , this is just speculation!

    #1612 6 years ago

    congrats to the Calgary boys and to the Edmonton Die Hards for the Alberta tourney! sounds like it was a blast! let's see a pic of the trophy!

    Weekend special.. What's your top 5 games?!?! I was just checking the top 100..pretty biased list! Alien is at 32! Haha..dream theme for me but c'mon man!! There's not 32 of them in the wild yet!

    #1677 6 years ago

    My fav's are limited to the few I've played..
    1 metallica
    2 roadshow
    3 medieval madness
    4 white water
    5 dirty Harry

    But I want more time on judge dread soon.& wanna play:
    1 rocky&Bullwinkle
    2 lebowski
    3 Tommy
    4 scared stiff
    5 champs pub

    #1678 6 years ago

    Honourable mentions to fishtales, Johnny mnemonic and BK2K!! I'd be nervous to slap someone's Big bang bar around.. can't afford alien yet, and don't get to play any old EM's around here (although I want one of them too)

    #1681 6 years ago

    I imagine there are kiddy diddlers who worked at car manufacturers, clothing companies, ..probably every line of work there is. How can you boycott a pin that someone only helped make..it takes an entire team..not just one doood.. to each their own but don't know how that's gonna make a difference... I'd be willing to take someone's judge dredd off them if they can't morally live with it in their line-up!

    #1682 6 years ago
    Quoted from northerndude:

    There's been piles on kijiji Sask lately, might be able to get something to try out, might be fun getting one of those 70's EM's

    I been checking them out on there too.. not paying big bucks for one but will grab one when the $$ is right! Can't see it sticking around too long so don't wanna over pay

    #1684 6 years ago

    What did you guys think of Strikes and Spares(bally)? I see u owned one Meegis.There's one in town here for sale. I messaged the gent and hopefully gonna go take a look if he gets back to me..

    #1687 6 years ago
    Quoted from klr650:

    Excellent game. Beware, as covered several posts ago, this seller is still posting pictures of other people's machines and a Future Pinball virtual table. Starting to think this is a scam...

    I thought that was another dunkin donuts cup..dammn

    #1690 6 years ago
    Quoted from aeonblack:

    Well said. I can enjoy my Judge Dredd and not support the piece of shit behind it. Separate the artist from the art. I wish you luck in finding a Judge Dredd...because mine sure ain't moving hah!

    Damn u!! Hahah..u know I want that bad boy!

    #1691 6 years ago

    I'm done shopping for pins off people's collection lists!! Negotiating power goes out the window!

    -1
    #1693 6 years ago

    Yes I do. WTF would me having kids have to do with some creepy old man having child porn on his computer? Terrible logic. I don't refer to them with any class. If they act on those urges they are in fact kiddy diddlers/rapists. Plus, he hasn't been convicted yet. Stay classy pinsider!

    #1695 6 years ago

    I've never heard of the man until this story came out. I want Aeonblack's JD because he pimped it out with custom music and when we talked (8months ago) it sounded like it was in nice condition. Honestly never bought or desired a pin because of one of the designer's name on the card. I don't even read the rules on those cards, never mind random names. This isn't like buying a John Wayne Gacy painting. Old men pinsiders sure like to argue about weird shit!

    #1702 6 years ago
    Quoted from flashinstinct:

    Worst is my twd is up for trade....

    What you hoping to trade it for flashinstinct?! +\- cash ...just wondering what u plan on adding next! (I see you've had some beauties in your collection!)

    #1704 6 years ago

    Shadow and star wars are great choices..have u considered AFMr or Dialed In. Kids would definitely get into that one and I heard if it's set up properly that its a pretty cool game. I played one out of the box and enjoyed it but the theme (compared to Alien!) Just wasn't for me.

    Quoted from noahd42:

    Pro.
    I've definitely got to find an excuse to make a trip to Saskatoon one of these days. I'm sure it won't stay at $2.00 forever.

    pokey's has a tourney on the last Thurs of every month! Aim for that as a target day! I been trying to make it up for one as well! Maybe this month...

    Quoted from smokedog:

    2 dollars a play? Is it a Premium or LE at least?
    Tuesday's at the cafe all games are .50 cents. Otherwise a dollar to play.
    Maybe I should raise prices ...

    Don't raise prices..another way to make more money is to expand!! Pokey's Regina sure has a nice ring to it!!

    #1814 6 years ago

    $280?! Yikes, I thought it was $150USD & think that's too much!! Hahah.. that JD sure does look deadly tho!

    #2037 6 years ago

    I love thursdays too! & cake.. my favourite kind is birthday. Mmm! Also, what do you think is a better mod for around $400... pinstadium lites kit w/flashers or powder coating the legs/coindoor/rails/etc. (for a METpro)

    #2054 6 years ago

    All you Ontario boys should each order a n.i.b. stern from Nitro this weekend and "stick it to the man"! (You're welcome in advance if this work's Tommy!)

    #2055 6 years ago
    Quoted from JoshODBrown:

    I got a Pin Stadium kit for my Star Wars with the GI and UV Flasher, but i am thinking i might actually move it over to the Metallica because i feel like it it will benefit from the UV flash in a cooler way. But all in all, I really like Pin Stadium! I feel like I need it on every game now. Quick install too... 10-15 minutes, no tools needed unless you want to hard wire it in to your GI and flashers permanently.

    ya, I'm afraid i'll want a set on every pin as well! They do look deadly and a simple install! A bit pricey tho with the uv/ flasher kits.. Are you guys planning a video review on them?!

    #2064 6 years ago
    Quoted from JoshODBrown:

    Yup, I have an install and review video in the works right now. probably release it in the next week or so, but I can share a little raw gameplay footage. I have the GI color set a little more on the purple/blue side in this video. The nice part is when the UV flasher fires, which you can see a little better after the 1 minute mark when i start into a mode. » YouTube video

    what a difference! I haven't played SW yet but it sure pops compared to MET next to it! Pinstadium has a 15% off code this weekend.. "bfriday" tempted to order a set!

    #2094 6 years ago

    Just won a bottle betting against the stamps! I picked the score too! Sorry gentlemen in Calgary! Except Dan (he's a bomber fan!)

    does everyone know about the Hawkesbury Pinball Flear Fair coming up June 1st and 2nd? It's a small by-collectors, for-collectors event.
    Super chill and an amazing time. This event is generally just advertised to pinheads so it's very different than other shows.
    Check the thread: https://www.maaca.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=25113
    Hawkesbury is halfway between Ottawa and Montreal.
    tournament, flear market, bowling, pinball. Good times.

    every year?! Same dates?! I'd consider next year for sure.. I love bowling..pins.. Montreal.. sounds like a good time!

Stands looked half empty! You can drive down to Minnesota and see a real game for that much money! Sure glad the Rider's weren't able to host that shit show debauchery!

    Thankfully my dumb ass remembered to record the stream this weekend, so you can check out all the footage here:

    There's lots of periods with no commentary, but for all of the finals we had full commentary.

    Any arcade guys in here?! Picked up a buckhunter and the monitor is not staying on. Works sometimes then when it flashes to a new screen it just goes black. Its at a friend's and haven't gotten over there yet.. just wondering what to check besides a loose cable connection. Thanks

    #2776 4 years ago

    We headed over to look at it soon! Monitor was apparently replaced 4 years ago and its been sitting since.. i was gonna check the power supply for 5v and make sure everything is connected good. Yes, he said it plays blind.. but when he turns it off and on and video last only a few seconds

    #2777 4 years ago

    I also read to check the header pins on the video signal to the monitor, neck glow, and the blue leads at the connector at the transformer.. gonna check all the molex connectors and make sure there's power going to it..

    #2778 4 years ago

    Well, went over and had a look. Power supply was good. But no neck glow. Coin door light had juice so the 5v seemed to be working.. couldn't figure it out tho. So i put the back cover on,slid it back into the corner, gave the cabinet a slap and called it a bad name! Plugged it in to a different wall socket for shits and giggles..... and it works! For now! Haha.dunno wtf but we also re-seated a pin connector on the plug going to the board under the monitor. headed back there in a few hours.. sure hope it's still working! Ohh & i found 4bucks in the coin box!

    Original stern avengers

    Cooool! They mentioned that.. I'm wondering the ballpark price. I just searched Google & I see there are only 5 known owners. I know rare doesn't necessarily mean valuable but I have no idea what one might be worth. I was offered a partial trade on my fishing boat and don't what to tell them but said I'd ask around.

    Princess Auto sells those (PowerFist brand). I bet you can order it online. But be sure to check the dimensions. I don't think those fit between the legs if trying to lift from the front or back.

    #3270 2 years ago

    I know it's been mentioned..but lost traction.. just checking if anyone else would be interested in some Canada pin waffles?! We just need about 40 or so peeps willing to buy a spot.. Older games the tickets would be under $50.. newer pins around $100 +/-

    #3276 2 years ago

    What is a waffle you ask?! It's a 1 in 69 chance to own a pinball machine at a very reasonable donation depending on the value of the pin..

    Pick a number 1-69 @ $$$ / spot

    Donations to be made only after all 69 spots are full and must be made within 24 hrs after waff1e is full. This would run based on the next power ball drawing. (Wed and Sat evening is the drawing)The First White ball drawn would be the winning number (1-69)

    We could use the same format.. winner pays for shipping or free pick depending on who is hosting the draw..

    So, a $2000 pin would be $30/spot.. a $4000 machine would be $60/spot & so on. First come first served on each number .. everyone sends the funds once all 69 spots are filled. I'd love the chance to own a pin for under $100.

    #3278 2 years ago

    Well, it's hard to manipulate the power ball lottery ..so there is no way to scam or cheat to win. if you don't trust the host then definitely don't get involved. But our community is tight enough nationally to know who is part of the group or not. Don't buy a spot from someone who has nobody from his/her area to vouch for them.

    #3284 2 years ago
    Quoted from Fytr:

    #3285 2 years ago
    Quoted from pins4life33:

    The ones in the states some do, some don’t but in general normally the winner has to pay for the shipping of the machine.

    Yes.. or the seller can add an extra $300 on his price and we can include it in the prize! We could find a host person in each city or area and start a private groupchat on GroupMe or WickrMe where we could see the list of spots taken. Just need one person to ask around at each of the local tourneys and events...
