Available in a few weeks -

HUO Monopoly, less than 200 plays. Perfect.

Very low mileage Safe Cracker w/ wings, topper, tubes of NOS tokens.

Above average players Whirlwind w/ Flipper Fidelity kit, some LEDs. NOS WMS original PF available with game.

Beautiful Gottlieb Central Park (EM)

Haven't figured out pricing yet.

Absolutely, especially considering the shop job. GLWS.

I've found that begging for forgiveness works more often than asking for permission ...

For anyone that likes EMs:

I have the following for sale

Flipper Clown - 1962
Central Park - 1966. Very very nice

Gottlieb Cinderella - 1948. Average/below average. Will need repro glass.
Gottlieb Wishing Well -1955
Universe - 1959
Football - 1949 (Chicago Coin). Absolutely stunning. Looks new.
River Boat - 1964 (Williams)
Teachers Pet - 1965 (Williams). Ugly repainted cabinet, otherwise perfect.

FC and CP are at my house in Erie, the rest are in climate controlled storage in Lafayette. FC/CP don't need anything but tuning and new rubbers. The rest haven't been set up in 15 years.

I am interested in seeing these go to someone who will appreciate them. Asking $1000 for CP and FC, any of the others would be well under that.

I'd really like to drop the storage unit, so willing to make a great deal on the lot.

Only have pics for Central Park at the moment, can take some of the others. Easy viewing in the storage area.

My primary criteria when buying these games were them having playfields as close to pristine as possible. For all but Cinderella (noticeable PF wear in a couple areas) and Universe (small area of wear), that's the case with these.

1978 Bally Strikes and Spares. Well above average original, no issues with backglass. Only area of wear on PF is slight wear on ball path arc at top of game near inlanes. Top board of backboard head is off and will need to be nailed or reattached.

In climate controlled storage in Lafayette. Asking $800.

Also have a new CPR repro backglass available (but there are no issues with original glass)

Update: Game has been sold.

Going to be selling my Creature soon. Overall, the game is significantly above average, just under CQ. Don't have an ad up yet or detailed pics, but if anyone is interested, PM me. Game in Erie (Lafayette).

Game has <100 plays since 1999. Slight wear at snack bar which would be covered with a cliffy. No wear at F and M VUKs. Very slight wear at flipper inlanes. No cracks or issues with ramps.

NVRAM installed on CPU board to remove need for batteries. ColorDMD installed, can be replaced with original (perfect) display. Hologram nice and bright green, motor working fine.

Cabinet art almost perfect. Small wood chip size of a dime at the bottom of the right side of head.

Haven't figured out what my asking price will be, but it will be fair (and I'm reasonable). Not interested in trades.

Delete duplicate post

Creature now FS. Will get pics up later today/tomorrow. Asking $5200. Can swap back in original DMD to lower price. Have a little flexibility if it involves a quick sale and local pickup.

Edit: game has been sold.

Strikes and Spares is sold.

Monopoly and Whirlwind are sold.

CFTBL, Central Park, Universe, New York all available.

My CFTBL has been sold. Thanks to those that were interested.

Data East Time Machine FS. $900.

Game working, but couple of Playfield switches need adjustment. Ramps (including Star Warp) are fine, no cracks or breaks. Cabinet head could use touch up in black areas near edges. Left displays not working. (Have new Xpin replacement display will sell at cost if you want to replace all 4 displays).

Fun game. With just a little work, a great Christmas present for someone.

EMs available:

Gottlieb Central Park. $1200
- near CQ, beautiful playfield, great back glass, working monkey.

Will consider reasonable offers.

I saw / played this game - looked and played great.

I have a beautiful Central Park that needs a good home. Willing to sell it under market for a local willing to come pick it up.

Sounds like your real estate agent wasn't too pinball savvy ...

Flipper Clown and Universe are sold.

Gortlieb New York (extremely rare game from 1976) and Gottlieb Central Park still for sale.

1978 Bally Strikes and Spares is for sale, but I've promised right of first refusal to someone who won't be available to see the game until early January.

I would say no, but it's your decision that matters.

I have a Central Park and a New York I would like to move instead of putting them back in storage. Please PM if you have interest in either or both.

I went up to take a look yesterday and bought one. John is going to customize the reels for me. Will be a great addition to my game room. Great guy, easy transaction. And one of the absolutely coolest showrooms you will ever see!

Gottlieb 1976 New York FS. Very rare game - only 300 made in honor of Roger Sharpe saving pinball from being classified as a gambling device in the state of New York.

Game is immaculate and looks almost new. New legs. Also includes an spare NOS set of playfield plastics and drop targets and all paper.

Listing here before I list in the marketplace. $1400 OBRO. I would really like to sell this instead of breaking it down and putting it in storage.

image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

Central Park is sold.

I have the following EMs available:

Metro (EM) 1940 - beautiful flipperless game
Gottlieb Wishing Well - 1955
River Boat - 1964 (Williams)
Teachers Pet - 1965 (Williams)
New York - 1976 AAB (only 300 made)

If you have any interest, send me a PM. These are all terrific copies of these titles and quite fun, but I just don't have room to keep them. Prices very negotiable. Games are either in Lafayette or Erie.

The seller doesn't allow inspection prior to sale? As-is is OK; sight unseen - not so much.

Ah. A name from the past. No thanks. Not worth the time and trouble.

A nice 24 might have tempted me, but then I would have had a space issue...

Repeated so no one wastes even a minute on Gilbert...

Someone who used to work with Gilbert reminded me today that the "sight unseen" rules may only apply to games he doesn't have possession of yet.

Just so people don't get the wrong idea - Gilbert is a nice guy with a wealth of contacts that he uses to get games that would otherwise sit neglected in some old time operators warehouse. But he does things his way, and it's OK with him if that doesn't work for you.

Ditto.

Very glad my wife and daughter don't read Pinside or I'd be figuring out a way to make this fit in the game room right about now ...

Great examples of the following Gittlieb EMs for sale. Prices negotiable.

1963 Sweet Hearts
1965 Sky Line
1976 New York (SOLD)

PM for more info.

Collector Quality Monster Bash available. Short of a HEP, you will not find a nicer example.

Game was fully restored. It has an original NOS playfield (not repro) clear coated by Ron Kruzman last year, new cabinet and art, new leg guards and legs, everything disassembled/cleaned, metal parts tumbled or new, original WMS NOS translite (not PPS), Cointaker LEDs, LEDOCD, NOS PF plastics/coffin, new bumpers/flippers, ColorDMD, new custom painted figures, PinBits headphone and subwoofer kits. Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. Also have various spare parts and plastics I could add too (and a very cool custom topper with all of the Universal Monster figures).

My lineup plans have changed since I commissioned the restoration.
About two dozen plays on it since I set it up a couple weeks ago.

PM if interested.

Available:

1963 Gottlieb Sweet Hearts
1965 Gottlieb Sky Line

Both in well above average condition.

1974 Gottlieb Target Alpha (high end, full restoration. Stunning)

Great games for those that love classic EMs.

Will have an ad up soon for an immaculate AMH in Lafayette after I take some pictures. Would prefer a local buyer. Love the game, but need the room for BM66LE and my wife says we have to keep her two favorites (which happen to be games I would sell first). PM me if interested. Donation to Pinside regardless of sale method.

Beautiful AMH for sale. 53 total plays. Discount for local sale/pickup.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-americas-most-haunted-1#post-3531472

It's pretty amazing how my wife says "that's your hobby", but when it came to paring down games to fit in the new game room how many times I heard "ooh, you can't sell that one ..."

The two I wanted to sell were Haunted House and Time Machine. She told me in no uncertain terms that neither was going anywhere.

I considered selling a restored Addams, but decided against that. I was told it would be OK to sell AMH or Playboy, maybe Addams. Everyone else in the family thinks Playboy is boring, but it was my favorite game in college. Mine is fully restored and CQ, so if I do sell it I'm resigned to never having another.

It's going to be really hard to get another new game if I can't ever sell an existing one. With maybe the exception of one of the EMs - she hates them all ...

My MM was NIB and can tell the difference between playing it an MMR, but I doubt many can. The remake is well done and the game is a lot of fun. I have no concerns about being able to repair an original down the road; can't say the same about MMR and all the speciality boards.

Practically NIB AMH available (53 plays). Ad in marketplace, $300 off listed price for a local pinsider. PM for more info.

Price drop on AMH to $6400.

I have 6 or 7 sheets of standard playfield glass. Used, but very good/excellent condition. Boxed and free to anyone that wants to pick up.

Gottlieb Skyline and Majorettes EMs available. PM if interested.

The Ryan that runs Press Play also owns Comet Pinball.

If there is any one local interested in doing a playfield swap, minor cabinet repair and a general shopping of a game (Bugs Bunny) please PM me. I have a game I would like to get back into shape.

If I can't find anyone interested, I'll have a donor game, NOS PF, cabinet art and most game specific parts for sale.

Have new, unopened Sears motorcycle jack used for the Pinlifter. Pickup only. $60 OBO

Added over 7 years ago: No longer available.

I have an NOS Congo translite if anyone needs one

Anyone interested in a Bugs Bunny game? $700. Will need some work and cleaning - has not been played in some time. It went to HEP for restoration and then my daughter decided she didn't want it.

Game is in average to above average condition but have new side art, NOS ramps, plastics and playfield if you want to make it like new. Parts preference given to game buyer.

Bugs is pending sale. NOS parts are probably still available, depending on what buyer is interested in.

Added over 7 years ago: Game is gone. I have NOS playfield, playfield and marquee plastics, cabinet art left.

I have an original Bally NOS and think I may still have a CPR.

Congrats on selling the BBB. I'm still kicking myself for missing out on Gene's original run. What a cool game!

I have used Craters and Freighters. Expensive, but amazing crates. The game should be well protected.

Having to sell a game because you need the space sucks.

American Express Small Business Saturday.

Colorado Game Exchange is now a JJP distributor ...

Nice move.

Stern, CGC, American Pinball and now JJP. One stop shopping for NIB games!

I guess a lot can happen in two weeks.

Given that GEX is one of Stern's top distributors and they have great relationship with Stern, this was a surprise. Stern dropped Kingpin pretty quickly because of the JJP connection (is that the last time you are referencing?), so it will be interesting to see what happens. As last as Stern doesn't do something stupid to "punish" JJ, this is terrific news for Colorado pinball buyers.

I see this as a warning shot to Stern - because of quality and code issues (and probably worse than expected SW sales and what seems to be an underwhelming launch of GOTG) customers want other options. Stern probably didn't care that much when GEX added AP (and maybe even CGC), but JJP is a real threat to Stern outside the Pro market. Since Stern doesn't see the actual buyers as their customers but rather the distributors, it has to mean more when a distributor says "you're not enough any more".

One more thing that shows you are a class act.
The only downside to this change is that Kingpin probably won't be my JJP dealer as I prefer to buy locally when possible.

PM sent

No dealer is going to have either of those games to play. Maybe if Chicago Gaming remakes BBB.

BBB is more about the art. It's a fun game, but not very deep. Can't say anything about TBL because every time I had an opportunity to play one it wasn't working.

Best of luck. The game is turning into a sleeper keeper. Seeing more people looking for one now that the code is getting good. And it's the best pin ever for total theme immersion - art, audio, video and custom callouts. No other game comes close.

Mine's not going anywhere

Support your local distributor. Call JJ at Game Exchange.

If anyone is looking for a classic Gottlieb EM, I have a very nice Skyline available.

If anyone is interested in a Munsters LE, I am giving up my slot with JJ at Game Exchange. He was almost sold out of his allotment on Tuesday, so if you are interested get with him ASAP.

I have an original Bally NOS playfield. PM if interested.

Sure seems that way. The dumping stopped a little over a year ago. Don’t know of anyone who has the game still on the fence.

The used market for the game was never big in great part to early code status depressing Premium sales and the desirability of the LE (which were truly limited). The LE/SLE buyers that were in early on the game took a huge gamble (which I always thought was a fairly safe bet given Lyman was on the code) and the current 1.02 code certainly hasn’t given anyone a reason to ditch it.

Should be about another year in the Premium run, though Stern just completed one not too long ago. Nice thing about getting NIB now is that you get the playfield and cabinet fixes factory installed. Call JJ and get one before it’s too late!

I have an NOS SW:E1 cabinet (screened, not stickered art), bottom only, no head. Was going to use it as a toy box display with various toy parts from the WPC era but decided I’d rather use the space for an actual pin.

PM me with a reasonable offer and it’s yours (assuming you pick it up).

Considering selling my Bally Playboy. Seeing if any interest here before Pinside ad. Will donate to pinside if sold locally.

Game was completely restored by Ray Johnson (Action Pinball in SLC) for those that know him.

Original boards (NVRAM installed), Sunning clear coated NOS Bally playfield (not repro), NOS plastics, full cabinet repaint (correct colors/design), great original back glass. Game has been in my collection with very little play since 2000. Recently shopped. Price negotiable, but this is not a players condition or project game. It’s not a HEP, but it’s CQ or close. Buyer would have first option on PDi glass, additional NOS BG, parts and plastics.

Preference for local sale/pickup. PM if interested.

JJ is your friend...

No reason not to call Game Exchange and get one new. Newly produced ones have the node board, ramp, joker targets, turntable and cabinet fixes.

The tree of HUO owners got shook pretty hard during the long code wait. Most of those that stuck it out have their games bolted to the floor. The few HUO sales I know of were gone in days.

Wow. At least two HUO MMs in Colorado. I thought mine had low plays at just over 2100.

For anyone looking at a MM, nothing beats an original. Those that say they can’t tell the difference between MM and MMR have probably never played an original in great condition. GLWS.

I have a Gottlieb Majorettes and Gottlieb Sky Line available if anyone is interested.

Also a very nice Bally Playboy (cleared original PF, repainted cabinet). I could be talked out of a very nice DE Time Machine (NOS plastics and ramps) and Gottlieb Haunted House.

EMs are sold.

Playboy
Time Machine
Haunted House

All in fantastic condition. At least one could use a new home.

Can anyone recommend movers that are familiar with pinball? I’ll need a NIB game moved down one flight of stairs in a couple weeks and I’m not able to do so.

I’m sure I can find a regular mover but would rather work with someone that’s done pinball before.

I’ll bet you JJ at Game Exchange could get you most of those ...

Excellent DE Time Machine for sale. Preference given to buyers that can pick up. NOS ramps, plastics and other parts.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-time-machine-33#post-5271279

Pending sale

I forgot about this. Can anyone who went comment on what Paul said?

Anyone know of a Stranger Things on location in the Denver/Boulder area?

Interested in adding one of the following to my lineup. Let me know what you have.

AFM (original)
PinBot
Joust (cocktail)

I’m looking for excellent or better examples. No projects or restoration candidates please. Not in any rush, so if you’ll have one but just not now let’s talk

Have to agree. No way I’d recommend TNG as a first pin unless it’s a dream theme.

And that trust is well deserved.

Thanks to Kevin for all LCP has done for Colorado pinball. Best of luck to Ryan as he takes over LCP.

Nah, not a problem at all. Just reality.

That’s not a fair complaint - no Premiums or LEs have been shipped so there’s no way one could have been at the show unless special arrangements were made with Stern and the show isn’t big enough to be that important to Stern.

That sounds like someone spouted B.S. to your wife. Dan contracts with Marriott for facilities, not the other way around. Unless the Marriott provides the D.J. (which doesn’t make sense) event staff should decide what the volume is even if the hotel staff has to actually make the adjustment.

Thanks to GEX and Blizzard. They seem to be the unofficial backbone of the show. Can’t imagine what it would be like without them.

Skipped this year but look forward to being back in 2022. Hope Dan considers a much larger Pinside presence next year. Of all the shows Denver has the least presence here.

If anyone has a Cactus Canyon CPR mirrored back glass for sale/trade, please PM me.

PM sent

Never understood why they don’t post a thread on Pinside.
It’s harder to find info/discussion on my local show than any other one I go to.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/rocky-mountain-pinball-showdown-october-21-23-2022

Looking for a very nice/CQ original AFM or a non-routed remake.
PM me if you have one available. Thanks!

Game Exchange will be there but I believe JJ will be at Expo

I guess it was you.
Congrats!

Congrats! Great game.

If this game is in the condition I saw it in a couple years ago (and no reason it shouldn’t be), “minty” is a understatement. I’ve only seen a few examples of this game/conversion and this one was clearly the best.

How did I not know about this place?

My take? If you are local, by from Game Exchange. You should be paying tax anyway - why not buy from one of the best distributors in the business? You’ll get great service and not have to stress about shipping.

One of Colorado’s premiere pinball collections will be up for sale soon

From BallyHoo to Elvira’s House of Horrors and many eras in between

Those of you that know me or have seen/played my games know that if I say something is Collector Quality, it is. Almost all the games are CQ.

If a game is noted NIB it was purchased by me new, never operated and always in a climate controlled smoke free home.

Unless otherwise noted restored games were restored with NOS (not reproduction) playfields and plastics.

Purchaser of any given game will have first option on related parts.

This is not a fire sale nor is there a time limit (I’m not leaving the area). I’ve been in the hobby for over 25 years, reasonable to deal with and open to package offers but please don’t waste time with silly low ball offers.

CQ games aren’t sold at player’s condition prices.

Games will be available for sale in mid June

Prices and full details will be posted in a few weeks.
Pinside Marketplace ads will be created; any game sold through Pinside will have a related donation

Please don’t ask questions or make offers here - the games aren’t for sale yet - this is a heads up post to the Colorado pinball community before I start a general Pinside thread.

I will create an interested parties list for those who PM they might specific items but unless you make me an offer I’d be an idiot to refuse, nothing is for sale now.

-

[Think you might want a terrific house with the famous award winning arcade with games waiting for you, a 4K Theater with drop down screen, Bar, incredible original Seeburg V200 juke with working selectors, restored Coke Cavalier 72, a classic Bally slot with whole house audio and video distribution? When the house is listed it’ll be posted here as well]

Thanks. I’m fine. Just an unexpected change in direction on the path of life. I’ll miss the collection as it is but incredibly fortunate to have curated it and enjoyed it as long as I have. I’ll still be very much involved in pinball, just with a few games in a new place.

Marketplace ads for the following games will be posted in the next few days.

These games are available for sale now. PM if interested or for more details. Local sales preferred.

I have cerebral palsy and a spinal injury and have more and more difficulty standing for extended periods of time. I saw the booth and sort of dismissed it as a gimic. Then I talked to Joe and played a few games with the controller.

All I can saw is Wow! A simple concept very well executed. No perceptible delay. I bought a controller and additional harness kits so I’ll be able to move the controller from game to game simply by moving an RJ45 cable to the target machine. I’m fortunate in that I won’t need to use this all the time to play pinball but glad to have an easy option when standing isn’t comfortable enough. It was a little difficult getting used to the perspective change but that’s minor.

There are other less expensive options but this is an elegant solution from a Colorado based company that will make my pinball playing much more enjoyable and allow me to play for longer periods.

Classics for sale:

Rockola World Series

Gottlieb Sittin’ Pretty (1959)

Gottlieb Sweet Hearts (1962, last game with a gobble hole)

First two are restored (Collector Quality), SH is an incredible unrestored original.

Now he tells me.

lol! Odds of it being worth anywhere near $14k or even $12k are about as close to zero as mathematically possible. If it actually exists I’m guessing the original batteries are in it along with acid damaged boards.
