Quoted from Russell:I might be interested. What EMs do you have? Is your Pinside "collection" up to date?
I'm looking for some of the more iconic EMs. Still looking for a nice Fireball, or perhaps a C37, ElDorado, Atlantis, Surf Champ...so many others.
Yes it's up to date. Let me know if you are interested in anything

I think I'm going to unload all my EM games to focus on what I really want. They were a good deal offered to me but my heart just isn't in them. I found a couple hooks I need to go up north to check out when the weather clears. Also looking for another firepower. If there is any interest in the EM please let me know
Gottlieb king pin
Gottlieb pro football
Gottlieb roller coaster
Gottlieb big shot
Chicago coin jukebox
Also have a project williams expo. I haven't messed with it but it looks to be missing a few things and has no backglass. I can get further into it (more than open the coin door) if anyone is interested.
There is also a gottlieb spin out and a straight shooter but my dad has pretty much laid claims to them unless someone really wants them
Went and looked at the firepower and hook at mirage today. He is asking 995 for the firepower. It works and looks great but has some minor issues that could be easily fixed. Thoughts?
The hook he is at 1995 and it's really clean. Just feel he is too high.

Quoted from ryanwanger:Is anyone interested in vids? Would love to get an EM or early solid state pin.
I'd be interested in a contra or tekken

Gottlieb big shot, needs work $250?
Gottlieb roller coaster, plays great! $500?
Gottlieb king pin, great original condition, plays great $700?
Chicago coin juke box, plays great, needs back glass, there is one there but it's cracked. $400?
I'm not sure if my prices are too high or will work fine. I just want to move these games to make room for something new. Ideally trades would work

Bride and party monsters. Wouldn't really give me any information on the games at all. Offered a deposit on them for when he gets back to town and he just said he might have to sell to make room for others if he finds them. I did ask if he would make a package deal and that I would more than likely take either one either way but would prefer both.

Quoted from Russell:Does anyone know of anyone that might be interested in transporting games up and down the Front Range for $$? I don't mean a shipping company. Could it be an interesting little side business for someone in the community? That would sure make it easier to trade games between us. Especially speaking from someone in Colorado Springs. The part of making a deal is the pain of traveling, packing and transporting.
I'm always willing to pick up games for people if they need it down south. I actually just did that tonight!

Quoted from Pindiddy:And now a Swords of Fury for $850... lasted about an hour on Craigslist. Good deals seem to be coming up every day.
What?!? Really?!?
I've actually been considering letting go of some games for trade. Not really interested on selling outright but would like to apply trades for a good A list game. The games I am thinking are:
Getaway
Johnny mnemonic
Hook
Gorgar
Flash
Masquerade
And possibly paragon.
All games are clean and play

Quoted from jar155:I'm coming in for Pinball Showdown and I'm looking for a good candidate for a re-theme. Does anybody have any games (prefer it to be classic SS or newer) that are fit for a re-theme? Obviously condition isn't much of a factor. I can pick up during the weekend of the show. Now is the time to get rid of that blown out game you know you're never going to actually restore...
I have a Mata Hari and a night rider I'm gonna be selling soon. Both are decently clean though
Quoted from VacFink:I have a Jokerz in Pueblo that needs some board/wiring work. I can only find Strauss Amusements. Any other recommendations or experience with their support.
I have the awful hum, the adjust error that is common and that a new battery holder and batteries didn't fix, a couple wacky wiring 'solutions' that a previous owner must have tried, and one GI plug that needs replaced (cut, but not burnt)
Any recommendations or suggestions is appreciated. I had hoped to fix myself, but its been sitting around for years, and I'd rather try my hand at fixing a single problem from a working machine. I'm over my head as a noob to tackle all that's wrong here on my first try out.
I can come by and look at it. Let me know when works best for you

Banzai Run still up for trade. Last chance before I tear it down and clear coat the play field
Edit: actually might throw magic castle, project jungle lord, project ice cold beer, and possible bobby Orr power play into the mix to get what I really want.

I agree that the current incentives aren’t worth it. If you are trying to have the show grow you have to have games there to do it. Give people a reason to want to bring games. It really bums me out that if I bring 2 games, my dad or myself still have to pay for a weekend pass for the event. Where is the incentive in that? I think we can all agree that it’s no easy job moving games around. Breaking down, moving, hauling, and driving 2 hours with 4 games isn’t exactly easy work for 2 passes. We had more incentives driving 12 hours with 2 games going to TPF like mentioned above. You can’t have an event unless people bring games. I’ve almost contemplated skipping the showdown and just fly out to the Tacoma show or something instead if I’m going to spend the same amount of money.
You want to have a big show, give people a reason to help you IMHO.

Quoted from Mathazar:If I didn't just pick up an ST:TNG this past weekend I'd really be interested. Out of curiosity....how much of a project? Price range? I've got to stop asking questions....my wife is going to kill me.
A solid cleaning, displays unless I have some laying around, a few switches, maybe a coil, needs a battery holder unless I have one laying around, a transistor but I’ll do that this weekend, and maybe a few small things here and there. I played a few games on it last night and it actually played pretty good!!

We have a pretty solid little group of players down here in Pueblo!
Quoted from EricHadley:Didn't know there were 2 of them. Hadn't run into either until yesterday. Who is the other one?
Isn’t there 3 of them?

Have a Gilligans Island I want to sell. Not in the best shape but plays good. $3100. Can send pics. Willing to trade plus cash for other games. Still looking for medieval madness, monster bash, twilight zone, spider man, white water, diner, and open to other dmd/lcd games.

Have a gilligans island for sale. New power driver board, titan rubbers, comet leds, new island motor. Will include NOS plastics if a deal is worked out. It’s not a perfect game. The cabinet looks like it was left on an actual island. The playfield is decent (no major wear), ramps are complete but well used. The game plays great though.
Also willing to put my really nice WCS94 for trade. New ramps, new plastics, new ball motor, really nice cabinet and playfield.
Ideally looking for monster bash, creature from the black lagoon, twilight zone, stern spiderman, or other DMD games.

Who here like projects!?! Well do I have a deal for you!!
#1 I have a bally playboy. It’s rough. The cabinet, the playfield, the backglass. All of it. But it’s all there and usable. And the best part is I’ve played a game on it. It plays. It has semi new rubbers and comet leds in the GI. That’s worth something right? It’s not pretty but it has heart. It will probably treat someone good if you put in a little board work or coil replacement on the ball kick out. I don’t have the time or desire to mess with it honestly and I have my own junk playboy to work on. Let’s start at $900? I dunno that’s probably too much but it’s a starting point for some fun negotiations.
#2 is a Gottlieb Dragon. I don’t know anything about it besides its taking up room that I need. I was told that it played but it wouldn’t take quarter or add credits or something. You know what it does have? Sweet ass artwork! Yep. Overall it looked pretty cleaned when I put it away. That’s all I got on that one. Let’s say $900 on that one too? It’s a good starter game for someone.
#3 is a 1950s skee ball. It’s 14’ long and basically an EM. It plays but needs minor work. It needs a cable for the reset mechanism and adjustments for the scoring. The coolest part is it really doesn’t need to be plugged in! You can play it without electricity!! Freaking cool right!?!? If you want to plug it in you can for the bell when you hit a certain score on the super rad flip score cards!! All the original balls and net are there and the cork is semi decent and usable if you wanted to leave it as is, as is the rings. If you wanted to restore it, you could very easily. There really isn’t anything to it. It’s just too big for my space. At this point I’d take $1000 for it just to clear out room.
#4 is a Nintendo VS arcade cab. I can put a working super Mario bros or give you a working VS board in it so you can pick your own VS game. It had a speaker hum when you power it on. Probably needs a cap kit. Cabinet is average for a Nintendo cab. Everything is there though. $500?
If you wanted to take all four at once, I’d do $3000 for them all. As much as I don’t need trades right now, I’d be willing to trade for pins if something sparked my interest. All prices are best offer. It’s hard to say with the way everything is nowadays how to even price anything. I can’t stress enough THESE ARE ALL PROJECTS.

Quoted from Coyote:Anyone in the Co Springs or Pueblo area have a SINGLE, #555 bulb (not flasher, not super bright)?
Sounds absolutely silly, but for a tiny little project I need one_. All my games and parts are still 1600 miles away, sadly, and I'd hate to order one bulb from anywhere and pay 80x the amount in shipping.

Just to chime in on the sound discussion, it’s hard to regulate sounds on the games especially during peak play times. I fought having games not too loud or too quite almost the whole weekend. I finally just said screw it and set them a little louder than normal.
As for the show, it was great seeing everyone and chatting again. This years show was probably one of the smoothest there has been. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to say hi! I’m usually not much of a fan of the showdown but I’m glad we divided to come this year. Thanks to everyone who brings games to any and all shows. It’s never easy to have people beat up on your games for multiple days in a row. Also a specific thanks to Mathazar for bring out those two absolutely amazing games for everyone to enjoy. Those things are definitely pieces of art.
