Lady Luck is supposed to be a lot of fun too.

This Dixieland project has been listed for quite awhile. It has zipper flippers. Looks like it will need some level of restoration but the play field looks promising and the price is negotiable. When I had one I found it to be a lot of fun.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

lucky hand looks awesome. Wish it wasn't a 1 player.

That's what makes it good.

Quoted from TiltDis:

Thank you! However, I contacted the seller and she thinks that fireball home is worth thousands because she has seen other Ballys sell for that much...

Yeah, you see that a lot with this title unfortunately.

Here's another one. I'm guessing this one is priced a little more realistically. Still seems high to me for a home model, but then you rarely see them much cheaper anymore.

Quoted from ssbodyman:

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?

Quoted from indybru:

If we are moving the discussion to Motorcycles. Can I vent how lousy the snowmobile season was this year? 280 miles in two days. Awful.
Anyway getting back on track Pinbot is still for sale. Moved from basement to dining room for Thanksgiving.
Cheers.

Yes, I sold my sled last year. I kind of felt like I made a mistake as Winter crept back in. The trail goes right past my house. I think it was open 3 days this season. 0 last year. Less than 5 the year before. Unless you trailer it up North it's almost hardly worth owning one anymore.

The glass looks promising. Usually they reds are badly faded. Anyway $350 used to be about right for an unshopped EM. These days it's challenging to find anything worthwhile under $500.

Quoted from grandy:

I offered $250 if it had legs, $225 if it didn't. Didn't hear back!

That's how I like to buy them too. Seems about right for the work involved and the fun you'd get out of it. Sadly though it's getting harder and harder to find reasonable project games.

Quoted from RCA1:

Wonder if he would trade for a giant inflatable clown head?

I bet your not the only guy that wishes he would. Wouldn't it be nice if that thing finally found a home?

#4829 6 years ago

Yep, that's me. It came to me previously shopped and playing. I fixed a few things and replaced a few worn parts. It plays fine but could be fine tuned/improved upon some if you were so inclined. I didn't polish the bumper spoons or stepper rivets or anything like Nic does.

#4831 6 years ago
Quoted from ssbodyman:

I can sell you a cannes or loan it to you would be even better.

Cannes is a good game. I had a Monaco, which is essentially the same. The layout is based off of Space Mission but better in my opinion.

Quoted from stlmo:

Planning on going to Expo. Anyone have a pitch and bat baseball game they might be selling?

I don't officially have mine for sale but would consider it. Pretty nice original 1956 Williams 4 Bagger. I don't plan to go to Expo but am a couple hours North.

Ha I was just checking the local Craigslist pinball ads like I do every morning. My 7 year old grandson was standing next to me. He says "ooh I want that clown head."

Quoted from John-Floyd:

My next door neighbor is selling 2 old EM’s if anyone is interested. I know nothing about the old EM’s, but thought I’d share to you fellow Illinois folks. “Cue-T” and “8 Ball”. Asking $750 for Cue-T and 650 for “8 Ball”. I was told Cue T works fine but 8 ball may have some trouble scoring for player 2.

Weird having these two games together as the layouts are so similar. Where in Illinois?

Quoted from Racerx:

Can any one use this? I hate to part it out, but I need the space...

Would be excellent for someone that has a solid lower cab. Just have to find that guy. Maybe post here?
