I've corresponded with that guy in the past. The problem is that he doesn't actually live in Melrose Park. He lives in Colorado. He has a buddy that occasionally stays in Melrose Park when he is in town for work. I'll reach out to him again, though, since he's obviously still looking for the game. Thanks for the heads-up!

I am leaving the hobby and putting up collection for sale. Thought something may interest you and if not you may know someone looking for a title. If you wouldn't mind passing along to any interested parties I'd appreciate it. Thank you. -Tommy

Sold - thx to all that inquired

I need to borrow a Ghostbuster LE for this weekend. My premium/LE launch party is this sat. Premiums have been pushed back to Sept.

Anyone that loans me the use of their LE, gets free entry into both tournaments and free food. I'd need to pick it up friday and I can drop it back off sunday. I'll even break it down, pick it up and bring it back and set it back up.

Looking for a White Water. If anyone has one let me know!

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-trade-white-water-williams-1993-1995

Yeah I inquired about that one but I am a little leary of the planking on the playfield.

My son wants me to buy a Police Force. He played it at Pinball Life a while back, and hasn't stopped talking about it!

Anybody have one they want to sell?

yeah, esp at that price!!! At 4400 it better be perfect or close to it!

Chicago places to play question.

Heading down for a few days on Friday. Staying in a hotel within a few blocks of the Headquarters river north location and intend to stop by, but as far as I'm concerned - more is better.

Of the two Headquarters, two Emporiums, and Logan Arcade - any of them stand out above the others? Any other locations worth checking out? Using the trains and foot for travel - no car for what that's worth.

They all have merit - i wouldn't avoid any of them. Historically I have the most fun at Emporium, but Logan Arcade has the best collection IMO and their machines are very well maintained. If I had to pick only one location it would be Logan.

Logan is the best place to play IMO. I go there regularly and they have a nice variety of games from all eras.

The River North one you will be near is nice and has decent food (most machines are on free play!) but make sure to go on a off night or early otherwise you will not be able to hear yourself think and forget about hearing the game you are playing then. I don't like the other Beercade in Wrigleyville.

The Emporium on Milwaukee is good, don't even bother with the other Emporium it's a waste of time.

I would rank them in this order too. While these three all do pretty well on maintaining games, they are location games and you will sometimes find one that has issues. Logan will give you a refund if so and they have a book at the bar where you can write down the issue you found on a game.

Out of the city:
Not sure where the train station is in Brookfield, IL but if it is not too far from Brixies then make the trip out there. Rob keeps his games in excellent condition and usually has a couple of the latest Sterns there, rare to find one of those games not 100%.

If anyone is interested, I have a Blue Chip EM project game that needs a backglass and a lockdown bar, but looks like everything else is there. Also have a bottom cabinet with populated playfield for a Chicago Coin Olympics. (No head, no legs) Would prefer to sell it all together, but...

I have a few games for sale:
Monopoly was told was huo
TWDLE huo by me, loaded
Met Pro huo by me, loaded
Cash n carry only no trades please.

no prices?

Not without Pin$ide getting their cut.....

I have seen the Met Pro and TWD in person, they are fantastic examples. Have no worries dealing with Ted, super nice guy, and very open and honest about his games. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again if he had something I was looking for.

Maybe they're all less than $3K?

We can dream.

Lol. I didn't post prices for a few reasons a big one being I'm not sure. I know that's lame but this isn't a fire sale. Regardless if 1 or all sell because of pinside i will donate appropriately. I am open to offers or if the gallery wants to help me set a $$$$ then that works too ?

You said the MET was loaded. What mods does it have?

Shaker
Custom sparky
Pbr candy purple armor lolipop rails
Pin pac
Piston shooter rod
Pingraffix speaker panel
FF led panel with flashers
Pingraffix snake mod
Mini lcd
Leds from CT
Color dmd
And more im prolly forgetting.

I really want a Qbert. I really cant afford one. Who has a free Qbert? No one, ok, moving on....lol.

Used - shows wear but 100% working and clean - “Up for sale is a decent TSPP. It plays 100%. The game was definitely routed at some point, but taking the prior owner at his word, has been in home use for about 5-7 years. As you ...”

Got positive feedback

Any interest in a project mame? Vertical trisync WG monitor in Ms Pac cab, nice CP overlay, spinner, track ball, 4/8 way joystick. 3Ghz Core 2 Duo PC, Arcade VGA, and JPAC. I have been running this machine with various configs for over 10 years. Recently the Hard drive died and rather than rebuild the front end I think I'd rather just have a Mortal Kombat or something dedicated.

Looking for an Austin Powers in good condition.

Wow, that might be more appropriate in the thread of "the confessional".

JUST TEASING!

I've considered owning this for the sole purpose of having an easy game to play for kids/newbs. Both f-14 and metallica have such short ball times, I feel guests lose interest.

Then I consider the fact that guests probably don't care either way, and I should get games that *I* want

I realized a while back that it just doesn't make sense to buy games for the "guests" when I'm the one who plays them 99% of the time.

Miss mine. I know the artwork sucked, and Dr Evil never has hands, and a few other odd quirks, but I loved the callouts and it was always a hit when folks came to play. Fart sounds always draw smiles, no matter how old or sophisticated the player...

Still have a Tron pro NIB for sale. PM for details.

My daughters eighth birthday is coming up soon and she wants it at Chicago Street Pinball Arcade in Joliet. When her friends come over they normally play a bunch in the basement. Hopefully the larger group will enjoy it as well.

Anyone have a dmd pin to trade for a no fear, I picked this one up but already have a restored one. This is actually a somewhat hard to find one as it is a original screened cabinet with no fade. It has not been shopped, yet

Just picked up a working gold wings, with working topper, needs shopped 800obo
Also a working flash, freshly stripped re rubbered and waxed. decent shape 1050obo
Bringing these and maybe a few others to arcade expo, along with hobbit, woz, and parts galore.
See ya Friday or sat
I may have a few extra Hobbits for sale that are ready to ship!!
Pincades

Wanna sell the topper?

Anyone have a rotisserie collecting dust? Homemade or otherwise?

Edit: Found one! Thanks.

If you locals are board Come on Out to the Arcade Expo in Rosemont.
Of Course I have a Hobbit and Woz RR on free play.
Gold wings F/S
Flash F/S

Lots of misc Parts (new legs, levelers, bolts, lamp sockets, manuals, flyers, A few ACDC Mods, and LOTS MORE!!)

They Have over 160 vids (Nice Line up of Arcade Games)
Pins - as of last night about 25 or so, im sure there will be more people setting up today.

WOULD HAVE SHARED PICS but the post wont let me. WTF
