CV Up for sale. On my radar is TH. Would love an in-person trade. Could also see letting go of my WoZ LE (ver 2.0 boards) as well. Both very nice condition.

For those looking to do a playfield swap. After doing my TZ, I am done doing that kind of work 
Best options for Clear Coating work in the Chicago area? I have an original TZ playfield that I plan to get cleared and then will probably sell (not 100% sure on that). It is in really good shape and want to get it finished.

Hi all:
Looking to trade my WoZ for TH or POTC (+/- Cash). Might also consider Dialed in or Godzilla. Longer term I am going to be selling my TZ and MM. Both of these are in very good condition (cleared, mod'd, etc) and have been in my house for over 15 years and really not played a lot. Not ready to sell them yet, but thought I would throw it out there. I want to get down to three machines. Going to keep my GnR and grow the new collection from there.
FYI, looking for TH if you have one that you are looking to move. Ideally would love to trade for my WoZ. Once I move the WoZ, TZ/MM next. Need to get down to three pins and looking for new challenges. Happy Father's Day folks!

The Bears are the new Detroit. The bottom and will stay there until there is a true change in ownership. Once Virginia passes, it will create an opening for someone that actually understands football to take this team where they can succeed. They are in the largest single market for the NFL (maybe out side of Atlanta). Sad they can't put a team together.
Back to pinball.....yes, I plan on being at Expo
Quoted from centerflank:Agreed but is she truly involved in a lot at his point? Congrats to her for hitting 100 yrs, impressive.
She is finally old enough to run for a high level government job!
McCaskey / Van Dyke 2024
She isn't, but her family still is. BUT, from what I understand there are a number of grandkids that will get a share of the business after she passes. Rumor is they don't want to be owners. So the HOPE is that enough want to sell to move the front office control away from the McKaskey's. While she is alive, control remains within the family.

All:
I have a TZ that has a strange board issue (I think). I have what appears to be ghosting and multiple lights going on at the same time. Rick Schieve was working on it, but has since retired.
Anyone around the Chicago area good at figuring out such an issue? Any referrals appreciated.
Thanks!
Dave
I know slightly off-topic, but anyone in the Chicago area know of someone that can fix one of those Chexx Bubble Hockey games?
Quoted from trilogybeer:Again Gavin, that dude can fix anything coin op realated.
Thanks for the intel. Buddy of mine has the bubble hockey and I have the TZ to fix. Looks like we will be calling Gavin twice

Toying with trying to get a JJP POTC. Yes, I know the code is not complete. My kids LOVE the POTC movies and so do I. I live in the Naperville area. If anyone has a POTC that I could play AND/OR if you have a POTC you want to move, please PM me. Still not sure on LE vs. CE. CE's are so damn expensive!
Any other thoughts on the game would also be appreciated.
Oh, will likely be trading my mint TZ for the game (first need to fix a board issue though).
Thanks in advance and love this group!
Dave
Quoted from Manderko1:Get a Stern POTC.
I owned one before. Wasn't for me.
Anyone have an email or pinside name for Gavin at Gavin's game service? Filled out his info form on his website, no response. Maybe he is just slammed? Just wanted to ping him another way. Thanks! Dave

Quoted from badbilly27:So Jaws, Labyrinth, Elton and Stranger Things are all either starting to ship or shipping. I thought for sure there would be some more selling to make room?
Nope, most just put additions onto their houses

Quoted from Xero:How about The Hobbit? Anybody have one they are ready to move on from?
Looking for any edition. Thanks!
I feel like this title is gaining more and more popularity as of late. I am also seeing some resurgence for GnR at the same time. These stronger flipper options are changing the flow of some of these titles (for the better).
Good problems
Good luck with your search. All of the editions are awesome IMHO.
Quoted from Xero:The issue with GnR is the code is a mess. Seems like a pattern with Eric, unfortunately. Pirates doesn't even have a final wizard mode. I haven't played Godfather enough to know if that is complete or not.
You may want to revisit the forums for GnR. There have been a lot of tweaks to the settings and more and more I am finding people are good with it. Can it be improved? Probably, but there have been some minor tweaks and with some luck JJP actually does one more update. I am not saying it is perfect, but with the tweaks, it does make it a lot of fun to play. Just my opinion though and I know this subject gets religious pretty damn fast.

Hey all. This was very hard to do, but putting my MM up for sale. Looking for a local buyer so I don't have to ship.
