I agree but they seem to be totally different models. Coins and constant coin jams can be a PITA also so they seem to focus on making money from booze and food sales with the idea that the free play games keep the frat boys there longer?

As soon as I heard the games weren't in as nice of condition as they were previously, I assumed you must not be servicing them any more. Thanks for the information on what went down, and good luck with the new endeavor!

If you ever make your way to River North and you find our games to be in bad shape then we have failed. Games can be free, working and clean it just takes a lot of work to make that happen.

Logan's does a great job and they have nice games in there as well. If I could follow the pay per play model I would but we have chosen a different route for a variety of reasons.

That's correct. They wanted me to sell them some equipment or keep mine there but WAMI doesn't seem to have the infrastructure to properly maintain and supply games that get the number of plays at a location like that.

Thanks for the compliment. I hope that Replay can adjust and provide games in better condition. Although I have my issues with ownership of Replay, I wish them well. I think all Barcades are a good thing, the more that people are exposed to games the better.

Thanks buddy!

I'll be sure to check out River North soon. I do remember when there were technicians working on the machines at Lakeview the first time I was there so I'm guessing it is still run that way at the other location.

I sold them a couple a games about 2 years back. We got to talking and they offered me a job on the spot. If you have ever been in their warehouse....no thanks!

What he said...

i was wondering when that post would show up here.

Most people do not notice that the Ms. Pacman and other games made from one of those sellers listed only has a printed coin door on the front of the game but do not actually have a coin door.

Holy crap that CL listing is hilarious!

I want to give you local guys a heads up. If anyone is working on a custom game and need a free cabinet I will be listing it tomorrow on my Facebook page. Its a cab that someone local attempted to replicate an Addams Family, they did a poor job. I would like to see it go to a good home of someone that may need it for a home brew game or proto cab for something else. Also if you don't mind sharing the page that would be great! Also I have a cheap project 007 listed already.

Wondering if anyone local would be able to help me put a value on some older arcade machines? A collector friend of mine passed away recently and his wife asked me to help her liquidate.

Very sorry for your loss. When you say older arcade, like EM arcade or like Space Invaders?

I'll know more tomorrow but if I remember correctly it's all early solid state machines.

I don't know arcade game values so I wouldn't be much help here, but wanted to say that it's very nice of you to help out. Thankfully, she asked you for assistance, as you'd hate for her to be taken advantage of by someone else.

Dave

Yes unfortunately he was a bit of a collector/hoarder and left his wife with more shit than money luckily some of the shit has value.

If you want, you can pm me and ill give you my number, I can help you out some

Troy

Sorry to hear that Steve.

I would be glad to help you. Troy (vidgameseller) would be a great reference too.

email me direct, no pms. I can send you my phone and we can talk direct too. Thanks.

Give me call if needed, i need to head north to see some inventory anyways.
Sent you amp with my cell or just call 219-924-PINS

Thank you for the information. That's really disappointing to hear. I'd get off the train after work and stop by for a beer and a few games before walking home. The machines were always in good shape. Hopefully the new location is in the general vicinity. Loved having a place like that I could walk to. Looks like Replay doesn't have as many pinball machines as Headquarters had.

Any one know who is selling this WW? Seems like a decent deal that hasnt moved yet.

chicago.craigslist.org link

Just in

picked up a diner, really nice cabinet, playfield has mylar, inserts need to be reset. blowing main fuse. good candidate for a clear coat and restore $1800.

I met the guy when I went to look at another game he was selling. I saw the WW and I dont think it is as nice as it looks in the pics. FYI, he has it listed on FB for 2500. I bet he would take a couple hundred less. Not sure if its worth that or not though. I am not up on WW pricing.

I talked to him. Seems like a decent person, but for the condition I thought it was a bit high. Had he been closer, I would have gone to take a look.

Over in KC, but for the right deal can work something out. Have a Capcom Airborne up for trade. It has a cliffy on the ramp, cliffy covers over the two inlane switches, flipper button mylar, and pincab protectors. Looking to trade for CSI, Big Buck Hunter, Godzilla, Punchy the Clown, Transporter The Rescue, Alvin G Soccer/Football/USA Football, Bally Atlantis or 24.

Feel free to contact me with any interest or questions about the NIB RZSI machine.

Sorry, non pinball request. I am looking for a few arcade games, tron and punchout. If anyone is looking to sell, please let me know. Thanks!

2 of the most desirables right now

Nascar $2100 firm. I shopped it 10 months ago and fixed many issues with the garage and STDM. Works perfectly. Has been on free play at my shop since April. Could used a good cleaning and rubbers again.

Pistol Poker in nice shape HUO, asking $2500 no multiball issues, working 100% will trade fit the right game. Tnx for looking!! Rillo

GTL Cactus Jacks FS. $1100. Players condition with a rough cabinet.

We're doing some remodeling and I am going to need to find new homes for 3 machines, all in excellent overall shape:
<1000 original plays HUO LOTR LE with some light removable mods (Balrog topper, figurines on the playfield, speaker upgrade)
<250 plays Hobbit Smaug LE (just out of the box a few months back, invisiglass and Cliffies)
freshly high-end resto Williams MM with new Mirco DF playfield lots of new parts and all others cleaned, tasteful mods including shaker motor, lightning flasher light kit, lazer blue armor by Back Alley, new decals and paint of course, re-screened backbox text--very nice machine if you want a nice example of the original game freshly restored.

I was going to store them but am thinking I want to change up in the future anyway, so maybe better just sell them now if there's local interest in all 3 (together or separately). I am really not sure what to ask on the LOTR LE as I can't find any comps. MM is going to be a lot less than I put in regardless so I'm realistic on this too if anyone wants to make an offer. Thinking $7.5K on the Hobbit. but mostly wanted to see if anyone local is even looking for any of these first and maybe we can talk and/or you can stop by and play 'em. Thanks.

My neighbor is looking for a Revenge From Mars for his second pin. If anyone has a nice example in the Chicago or suburbs please PM me with your asking price and conditon and I'll put you in contact with him. He doesn't want a project so working is a must. Thanks!

Out of room over here, time to purge.
