Quoted from puck:I am told that Denizen now has one on location now as well.
I went today and it is there but it was not working. Hopefully it is up by the weekend.
Got to play a few new ones I hadn't tried yet, like Spider-Man and AC/DC which was still neat
Quoted from wolv3:Looks like I know what I'm doing tomorrow night. Hopefully it's good to go.
I forgot to update, I ended up getting a chance to try it out that weekend. It was up and running. Pretty good!
Quoted from Dee-Bow:What's a fair price for a nice f-14tomcat? Nice condition and some led's.. I know the one in lethbridge went pretty quick for $1500.. so is $2200 sound about right?! Just opinions..no right or wrongs..just wondering
That sounds reasonable. If I saw one for 2k I'd pick it up in a second.
Quoted from paul_8788:I've gotten the "its not worth that much" and "I can get it for less" when I've sold games too. I just tell them if they can find it cheaper they should definitely take the cheaper deal. I don't get the need to respond to the ad at all when they aren't going to buy it, but I chalk it up to most people being useless and move on with my life.
Yeah, I just disregard those ones easily. I've sold everything possible on kijiji, it is great but the low ballers are a waste of time. I don't get why people see an online ad and assume you are desperate to sell that day. I would get red flags if someone accepted my low ball offer immediately... Would the item be stolen or broken?
Quoted from violinfather:Thanks to NinJaBooT for the evening of free pinball at Lucky Lounge. It was awesome. Nice to play some pins like T3 and Dirty Harry that I have never played before. Great line up and the machines are in super condition.
I agree, that was great. I played Dirty Harry there a week or so before but it was great to try some of the ones that weren't up and running when I was there the first time and T3.
Quoted from pins4life33:Its actually not that bad of the deal with the entire package you get all depending on the shape of the machines of course. If you were starting up a location that would be an excellent start of machines. Pretty sure a guy could knock off 5K and call it a day if he/she we would to take everything.

I know it's not the sale thread, but anyone message this guy and get a response by any chance?
Quoted from blowback1976:Someone from Calgary was on their way up today to look at them. Depending what they find, a deposit may be made tonight.
Very cool. I know I wouldn't have minded getting my hands on that T3. That's just the way it goes though!
Quoted from Boat:I called and he said someone local was taking them all and I believe he also said he had a few parties interested. Seemed like a good guy!
Yeah, he emailed me this morning and said it was all sold. Too bad, but someone got a good score!
Quoted from dirkdiggler:That would be sweet! It was originally in the Mancaves store in Lloydminster with a $1500 price tag on it. (no wonder they went out of business)
I'm looking to get $150 for it.
Hey noah42, you just got a bbh? Would definitely be the most creative topper out there.
Haha I don't think taxidermy would fly with the girlfriend unfortunately!
Quoted from pins4life33:Congrats sweet game!!! Gets a bad rap because a lot of them don't work right but that game can be tough as nails and a ton of fun to play.
Thanks! I had played it before and I've got a good handle on how to tune the buck so he is responsive. Not an easy game to rack up a high score on!
Quoted from JoshODBrown:When I first got the game, I was seeking out one of those orange guns from the Big Buck Hunter arcade game to make into a topper. Also, my father-in-law is a hunter and has a nice buck on his basement wall, we joked about mounting that above the Buck Hunter!
Haha, yeah I think I've heard of that or seen somewhere on the internet where the guns used as toppers.
Quoted from JoshODBrown:Big Buck Hunter for sale in Edmonton. Did you flip it already, noahd42? lol
Haha. No, I saw that today too and figured it would come up! I'm still looking to add pins, not subtract. This one will be sticking around for a while. I'd like to add a High Speed, T2 or T3 as well.
I hit up Lucky's today and put a few good games in. Sad to see Dirty Harry and Ghostbusters down but I really liked playing Bride of Pinbot and the color DMD was really neat!
Yeah, I definitely prefer a nice fair ball save. I think 5 seconds is reasonable. I have it at ten on Big Buck and that is a nice sweet spot since it is a pretty low scoring game
It's even worse in my opinion because Cineplex owns them and there are just two pins at the Rec Room here in South Edmonton Common. Seems like a real waste of the exclusivity if they don't even put them out in public.
Quoted from Darcy:A few years ago I phoned them to find out if they had any pins set up in the arcade. The guy that answered, asked me what is a pinball machine? Did not bother to go there after that conversation.
They only have a Star Trek Pro and Game of Thrones Pro, so you are not missing much. It would be nice to see them have a bank of 6+ games, but I don't foresee it at all.
Anyone in Edmonton care to speculate when we will get an Aerosmith on location? I got the bug in Calgary at the Trap and played it a bit at YEGPIN. I think it would do good on location, I'm surprised we haven't seen one yet.
What game? I've heard of some places charging more on games like Wizard Of Oz. Ball times should be longer on that and Jersey Jack games are loaded with features plus the cost reflects that. I wouldn't be offended, I just probably wouldn't be lining up to play.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Areosmith pro. The ghostbusters beside it was a $1.00. Not sure if the kickout (library) on the left side of GB can be adjusted but EVERY time it would kick it sdtm. Basically made it unplayable or unenjoyable at best. I sat and finished my pint at the bar instead
Darn, that is rough. I definitely wouldn't be down with that either.
Quoted from wolv3:Free games and 4$ drinks at beercade tonight
I like that they do that often on the Sunday of a long weekend. Lots of fun. I should definitely try to get there again soon, I've been addicted to the Avatar there. Plays pretty well but doesn't get a lot of love. Compared to X-MEN which is always down.
Hey, is anyone in Edmonton free to give me a hand with my Big Buck? Thanks to Josh in Calgary I tracked down the problem.
I need to connect the wire back to this pin. I'm going to order a molex kit, but wouldn't mind getting it up and running sooner than it will take to ship. I can offer a 6 pack of beer and a few games if anyone can assist.
Added over 7 years ago: Resolved 
Great looking set up and collection volkdrive
As for Goldeneye I remember seeing that animation when Buffalo pinball was playing it. And I think I saw it when I played the game at yegpin. It's definitely suggestive, especially outside of the context of the film itself.
I wonder if it can be disabled?
I don't think The Shadow at YEGPIN had a properly working battlefield, but I would definitely like to get more time on one. I really liked playing it. The shots were diverse and the ramp options seem interesting at a glance.
I will usually dump money into TWD on location any chance I get but a lot of the shots seem pretty standard for Sterns these days. The skill shot is too easy. The rules are deep, but I can only ever manage to have one REALLY good ball on that game if I'm lucky.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Not sure if they're still there but what about gateway lanes or reds? Any of the dollar theaters still have arcades?
Last I saw earlier this year, Gateway Lanes had a Nascar, Transformers and Ghostbusters. GB was the only one playable. The others were turned on and taking money but had serious issues.
Quoted from pins4life33:We are already getting email inquiries about registration for league. Great story was glad to be a part of it.
Awesome! I heard about the feature on the radio during my drive home. I'm glad the word is getting out there
Got my hands on Star Wars at Denizen this weekend, plays nice. I enjoyed it. At four tokens ($2.00) it is a bit steep for such a fast and furious game but I'm glad they took the plunge and got one for the location. Very happy to support the cause. Really solid line up there.
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 ...
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.
Quoted from aeonblack:I installed an led speaker panel kit on my Judge Dredd yesterday, it looks awesome, but a word to the wise for any of you who might be thinking about removing a speaker panel plastic and cleaning it up: I have never dealt with anything in pinball that is even close to as tedious as removing the double-sided mounting tape/glue on the back of those panels. It took probably 2 hours of constant scraping/scrubbing to get it completely clean. That being said, the finished product is really awesome.
That is a true beauty! I still haven't got my hands on playing a JD yet but that one looks awesome. Nice mod.
Likewise, it looks awesome. Hopefully there will be one at YEGPIN if they are shipping Q1 2018 as mentioned on the stream.
Anyone know what the current line up looks like at Pin Bar in Calgary? I'm gonna stop by next month.

Perfect, that looks like an insane line up. I will make sure to bring a few quarters
