Its hideous although the first time I have seen someone use the reflection of the pin 2000 in a game like this. I really thought that was a nice touch and likely not all that easy to achieve.

Saw that one as well, and couldn't help but smile. No way that is getting sold anytime soon at that price. But hey to each their own.
As for the comments about learning the hobby and just starting out, I am a pretty good example. Bought in for cheap. Got a working 4MBC starting off. Then wanted something with inlanes, picked up a dirt cheap non-working Argosy. That thing only turned on nothing else when I got it. Been slowly trying to get it back to life. Now can play a decent 1 player game, no multiplayer games yet.
For everything I have fixed, it has helped me understand my machines and EM's better, but even then there are some things I wish I could have someone in the room to bounce ideas off of. Love this forum, but sometimes hard to get a point across and hours of back and forth here would be solved faster in person. So I am someone that, though love working on my machine, may be searching out professional help to get the last bits fixed up.

Really surprised for the longest time you could not find an airborne to save your life and they have been popping up quite a bit the last few months. Als is also pretty rare and it too keeps showing up.

the zacs i'm looking for are not that expensive. If someone had all 4 that I needed and all 4 were exceptional examples...maybe.

Quoted from kklank:Still have a mmrle for sale 8100.
Includes Laserrific topper, pinblades, color rom.
Perfect condition.
I'm surprised this game is still available. $8,100 is about the price of a stock NIB standard version, and this has some nice upgrades.

Looking to trade a Potc. Possible deals would a Lotr, WH20, Met, TAF. Have cash and would also throw another in the mix for a possible AFM, MM.
Added over 7 years ago: Pending trade
I have an extremely nice Twilight Zone (playfield is unbelievable and no cabinet fade) with LEDs and mods (ColorDMD LED version, Pinsound board, Flipper Fidelity Speakers and woofer, Pyramid Topper, Dazzler Gumball Kit, etc) that I'm looking to trade with cash for a Wizard of Oz (Ruby Red), Hobbit Smaug, or Medieval Madness Remake (LE or Standard). I'll be taking more pics tonight and can send on request. Looking for a local deal as I prefer to not ship.
Added over 7 years ago: Hobbit Smaug SE found.
Man, its close to impossible to deal with any older gentlemen who still think prices are from the 2000's.
On that note, any one got any leads on a FG in decent shape? Doesnt need to be shopped. Shopping the market. Thanks
Quoted from Chitownpinball:Man, its close to impossible to deal with any older gentlemen who still think prices are from the 2000's.
One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere, like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

I don't have any leads but here's Conway Twitty:
I have a Pinbot that I have owned for quite awhile, I think it's in good shape and am looking to sell.
I also have the full set of cpr plastics minus the one replaced on the pin.
Also might need an electrician I'm blowing circuits in the basement, too many pins. LOL

I will be driving from AZ soon and could come through the Chicago area within a week or two. I have a TZ that looks like it just came out of the box (really) and plays 100%. I am looking for a very nice original or a restored MM. I can add cash, if needed, and I can come to you. Many references available. PM me for info. Thanks!
Quoted from sturner:Does anyone know why Headquarters in Lakeview changed to Replay?
website says closed, relocating:

This article says there's an ongoing lawsuit between partners
http://chicago.eater.com/2016/11/1/13488794/headquarters-relocating-closing-lakeview-settlement
I went to the Lakeview location on Saturday and never paid any attention to the name. All I know is they didn't have as many pins and a lot of them were dirty as hell or had problems.
Quoted from sturner:Does anyone know why Headquarters in Lakeview changed to Replay? The place is 4 blocks from my house and still great. Just wondering if it's a new company and can expect changes or the same people.
I will attempt to shed as much light as I can given the nature of the situation and my relation to it. Headquarters was started in Lakeview with three original partners. Prior to this, two of those members owned other establishments at that location. Through out the years and prior to the start of HQ and during HQ at the Lakeview location, one member stole a large sum of money. Details are pretty nasty and likely able to be found in public record somewhere but I was advised to refrain from commenting. The person who now owns Replay at that location and the boy's town location, is the person who stole the money from the other two owners. The separation agreement provided us to keep the Headquarters brand and the person who owns replay wanted to keep the lease in place at that address. This worked to our advantage as we wanted to move to a location that provided us the ability to have a kitchen like our Rivernorth location. I was asked to continue providing the games at the new location, however I turned them down. The reason I turned them down is because the Replay owner who stole large sums of money from his partners also owes me a large sum of money for the service and game contract I provided them for years. In addition to him refusing to pay his outstanding bill as well as stealing money, I have become an owner of HQ and thus would not be interested in helping the very person who stole from me. I won't speak to the success of Replay, their operations or games, as I find that to be in bad taste, however I do not have a problem letting people know what the owner of Replay did who was previously involved with us. Thankfully this entire thing had a silver lining and allowed me to move from a supplier to ownership.

The good news is we are relocating. We have a few great locations to choose from and once we can nail one down we will share exactly where it will be.
Quoted from AndHart120:I went to the Lakeview location on Saturday and never paid any attention to the name. All I know is they didn't have as many pins and a lot of them were dirty as hell or had problems.
Damn it. This is my largest fear about the location there. Some people know of my involvement with HQ and many do not, however those that do know I truly care about the games we provide. I don't claim to have the absolute best games, but I do try and provide a great line up and have techs work on them 7 days a week. The reality is that with free play and the number of customers we have per week, (about 3500-4500) our games get played a ton. Anyway, please let me know if you find any problems when you visit our Rivernorth location. Your more than welcome to PM me on this site.
I hope this sheds some light on the situation and if anyone has any questions, I'll answer what I can.
Having all those machines at HQ Lakeview on free play was a luxury and I was saddened to see the change. (Replay has a location in Andersonville and the machines seem more like decoration than machines meant to be played and enjoyed.) I was even more impressed by the quality of the machines when you take into account how many drunk college kids were packed in that place on Friday and Saturday nights. Thanks for helping create an awesome place to spend the occasional weekend afternoon.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Western Automatic supplying them now? They called me within the last 4-6 months looking for a large amount of vids and pins for a Chicago location!!!!!! Just FYI. If true that will explain game conditions!!

crazy story. Thx for sharing.
As cool as it is to play pins for free I also believe this is really going to cause them to break/get real dirty fast. I'd rather pay for games in good shape (like Logans) than play bad ones for free. I actually was just at Logan's an hour or so before stopping by Lakeview and the difference between the condition of the games was pretty big. Logans games were real popular when I was there so the free play bars might be losing out not charging anything.
