New, reproduction backglass for Blackout from Planetary Pinball. With shipping I paid $270.00. - Your cost $240, cash and carry.

I sold my game and don't need it.

Backglass is still sealed in un-opened box. - Thanks

I have 5 sheets of PDI glass left over from a large shipment I bought. The glass is new, still wrapped from the factory. I also have one sheet of used PDI left.

I'm tired of running my Craigslist ad and need closet space so I'll gladly reduce the price. You will not find a better price anywhere.

Same for the NIB Blackout reproduction backglass on CL. Make me an offer.

thanks

Invading Cheeseheads that buy our Colorado machines.

Pinball Dude... I've already promised one sheet and am down to 4 of the new remaining. Come see it in my Stern Batman TDK if you need convincing.

Bring beer and I'll throw in a free pinball lesson.

PM sent.

Go Broncos.

I know Lyons Classic Pinball is way father than you'd probably like to travel but they have an LE there. Plays great.

I have two sheets of used Invisglass that I'll sell. $100 each.

Thanks

Sorry, Hilton but I answered my email this morning before returning to this thread. I have two people interested and I'm fairly certain at least one sheet has been sold. If one or both sheets are still available later on I will gladly let you know.

Thanks bud, I hope you're well.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

(Beer is already stocked for ya my friend)

Pending cash exchange and pick up, all PDI and Invisaglass has been sold.

Thanks. I met some great new people.

I have a rare sample version CV I'll consider selling. Its also a Chris Hutchens, HEP restoration. I haven't thought of a price but as you can imagine it will be in the top value range. If someone is serious I'll come up with a hard number but it will definitely be into five figures.

Nope. Public school system.

I'm going

Possibly. What time is that at?

I've never used it but try this pinball locator.

http://www.pinballmap.com/colorado

Looks like Pargosa Springs is closest to you.

Bear Creek Saloon
475 Lewis Street
Pagosa Springs, CO

I used another pinball locator to find it.

I think its great you're doing this, Dan.

Contact me about the BOP. Diamond Plate playfield.

Poor reading skills. Never mind.

V8Torino is a solid guy. Buy with confidence.

I haven't seen you on Pinside or in person for a long while, Kirk. That's a loss for all. I hope you're well.

Gotta be a prank CL ad. - Here's the number he listed if you want to try. 720-773-8484

LINK: denver.craigslist.org link

""Used Pinball Machine Collection - $1000 (Lone Tree)

My cousin died and I'm selling his collection for my aunt. He has 5 games in the basement. I have no idea how he got them down there and I'm not helping to get them out so if you'll have to bring friends and a truck. I imagine they're heavy. There are 5 games. Simpsons, Family Guy, Lord of the Rings, Batman, and Star Trek. $1,000 each or $4,500 if someone wants to take it all.

Call, email, text whatever you want, we'll figure it out."

The ball bowler on CL is mine. I'm tired of running the ad and dealing with tire kickers. Its also Happy Hour and I'm feeling no pain.

$3500

denver.craigslist.org link

Thanks

Ball bowler is now sold pending payment and pick up.

I'm seeking a Skeeball machine if anyone is holding.

Thanks

I have my Big Lewboski tweaked and dialed in. Now its time for real world testing.

Party at my house tomorrow night Wednesday, 08/24/16. - 6 to 10:30-ish.

Yes, you can bring a guest but no Nihilist or rug pissers.

Hope to meet some new people and I'm a lot nicer than some on Pinside believe. - Contact me privately for details.

Kim

I would suggest we go easy on Lordloss. I've road tripped further than Iowa for deals and I've also met people at a half way point.

Make JJ set up the BBQ. He spoils us locals.

Beneath a Pro.

I'll be there Thursday, Friday and leave Saturday afternoon.

Cool! I'm giving you a head nuggie when I see you.

Someone is already in on it. I'm back up I guess...

I'm looking for a Skee Ball machine in good to excellent shape. 10 footer please.

The one in Pierce, CO. is 13 feet and too long.

Thanks

Lyons Classic Pinball.

I'd just take it to a glass shop so they can measure and duplicate you a piece. It's tempered glass but they will be able to determine that also. Save on shipping.

If anyone is looking to buy a Night Moves cocktail game for $500 or so, you might try this guy on CraigsList:

denver.craigslist.org link

He's a non pinball person and told me on the phone it was worth $2600 but he'd sell it to me $1200. I told him at that price there was no reason for me to come look at it but thanks anyway. 10 mins later I got a text saying he'd go $1000. I didn't respond at all and three hours after that he text me again and said he'd take $800.

Last night I went and looked at with $500 in my pocket because he told me it was perfect.

Everything appears to work and play. Coin door is unlock but no keys to it or keys to remove the glass. That hindered my playfield inspection somewhat and you will have to drill glass lock if you take it home. Playfield glass is scratched which he told me on the phone is wasn't. Playfield needs a deep cleaning and complete shop job. Inside of cabinet looking through the door shows cobwebs and some rodent scat.

There is some wear in the artwork above the rollovers that I saw... with the glass on I may have over looked other areas but that's all that was apparent. The plastic arch at the bottom look sunken for some reason but with the glass locked in place I was unable to determine why. Plastics all seemed good from my superficial glance.

I told him thanks for showing me the game but I was going to pass. He asked what I thought a fair price would be and I told him he could expect to get around $500 for it.

Something tells me if any of you guys approach him he may start his song and dance all over again at the $2600 price. Who knows...
What I do know is that often its the timing when buying from guys like him. Its the second or third person to offer him $500 that will probably get it.

I already own this machine and really enjoy it but don't need another project. - Is $500 a fair price? That's up to you to determine.

Happy hunting guys.

No argument. As I said the game powers up and I played a game so I am assuming the boards are all OK.

Agreed. Now quit being combative and send me a text with your name identifying yourself....

Seriously, please do at your convenience. My phone had a hick-up and deleted probably half of my contacts. I just recently noticed you being one of them. Thanks buddy.

I just put up a Craigslist ad for miscellaneous things I'm selling. Some of it game room related such as bar stools and decorations. Also selling one of my custom made light display cabinets with the playfield.

If you've not been to my house and seen it, the cabinet top is hinged to open so you can slide in whatever same size playfield you like into it. Individual lights flash behind each insert in random patterns much like the attract mode of a real machine. My pictures look like crap but you get the idea. Thanks

Hi all

I need a repair recommendation. During installation, I broke the wire lead to my Walking Dead Cross-Bow laser mod. I took it in to a local repair shop and they were unable to fix it. A uBreakiFix store. Evidently the pin is broken and they were unable to solder it and they don't carry those pins. This is not a simple solder job or at least not for me.

Any suggestions of who or where I could take this?

Pinside will not allow me to post a picture in this thread. The pin connection is very small.

Thanks,
Kim

Disregard, I got it covered. Thanks

I’m trying to compose this message as calmly and accurately as I can.

Many years ago, I was strongly warned to never allow Tom Grobe to ever take your boards with him. After years of working with Tom, socializing and developing a friendship, I let my guard down and trusted him with one of my boards.

That was months ago for a promised one week job. Since then, I have endured his lies, ignored phone contact and intentional inconvenience.

Last night, after a bullshit story of two flat tires and him missing our scheduled appointment, I drove to Tom’s house and confronted him for my board. He fished it out of a pile of boards and I can only hope it’s not someone else’s.

The board is still not repaired as he said it was and I’m baffled as to why he even scheduled our appointment.

Wasting my time waiting on incompetent people is not my forte.

I will be shipping my boards to Rob Anthony from now on unless some of you have a suggestion. I also could use a reliable tech recommendation or two. PM’s welcomed.

Kim

Hey guys

I've been cleaning out, organizing and found a bunch of stuff from my old Wrong Crowd Production business. Its free to whoever wants it so please let me know. You can stop over to my house by appointment, I could meet some of you at the show or whatever we can work out. But please, I'm very reluctant to ship anything and its first come first serve.

Sorry no pictures as Pinside won't allow it in this thread.

I have 3 sets of "Poop Bumpers". These are vinyl toilet decals. Novelties obviously. Two flippers decals on the seat and a pop bumper decal on the lid. And it says, Poopbumper 1000

I have a few Glare Guards, *widebody only*. Please, only ask for what you need so I can get these out to as many people that need them.

Lastly, I have backboard mirrors that I named, Pinfinity Mirrors back in the day if you remember them. I have them for following games.
Stern Spiderman
Twlight Zone
Addams Family
Guns n Roses

Mirrors are plastic, an easy install and a reversible mod. And they really give the back of the game a very cool depth perspective.

I will have other items for free and also some items for sale in the future including some games.

Kim

Thanks.

Unfortunately, Rob will not be at the show this year. He told me he will be passing through town in a few weeks.

For those of you who have contacted me, your items will be at Comet Pinball's booth for pick up. I will also leave several wide body Glare Guards for random pick up there.

Kim

The Taito, Ice Cold Beer for sale on Craigslist is mine.

I just saw that. I'm only taking back up offers right now.

Don't know?

Pretty sure its done by the honor system and you don't have to publicly disclose but, atta boy.

I sent you a sincere apology more than a week ago which you have chosen to ignore. And instead, it would seem you'd prefer to snipe at me on Pinside and pick little fights.
We can continue in this manner if you choose but I'd prefer not to. Unlike you, I will gladly accept your email or you can meet me at the Denver show and talk it out.

Kim

Typical Whysnow exaggeration. One of the many reasons nobody believes or trusts you on Pinside. I'll let entirety of my comment stand and people can judge for themselves if I was threatening or not. They will also judge you and your propaganda.

If I'm mistaken, I apologize.

Last call if you want any of these items. I have everybody's order packed that have contacted me and I will be dropping them off at Comet Pinball's booth later today or tomorrow. And as I've already posted, I will be leaving extra wide body Glare Guards so swing by the booth and pick one up.

Looks like I'll still have some left over freebies after this so if you're ever in the Boulder area swing by and play my collection. Or let me know and I can relay the items to you via my friends, Kevin Carroll at Lyon's Classic or Dan Gutches of the One Up or JJ at the Game Exchange.

Enjoy the show and I hope to see you there. Hit me up for an argument or a misunderstanding if you like.

Kim

I've flame polished several ramps and the results are spectacular. But I had one close call long ago that scared me enough that I'm not willing to risk damaging someone else's ramp by my mistake. And I don't know of any one who provides a service.

There are plenty of videos out there to teach you and that's how I learned. Its not that difficult to do, you just need to be careful.

Call me if you decide to try it as I have some great tips I can pass along to you. Too much to write about here and I can go into much better detail over the phone. Anyone interested is welcome to contact me if they want to give it a try.

Two things I will tell you. Make sure the ramp is as clean as possible otherwise you will melt dirt into the plastic. And keep the flame moving at all times.

Here's a couple of video's. Google for more results: Pinball flame polishing Ramps

For cracks or broken plastic there is a liquid bond that can be applied. A few choice's out there but I've had good success with Ambroid ProWeld

Flame polishing is only for surfaces scratches. Deep scratches such as the main ball trail will be greatly reduced, nearly imperceptible, but not removed completely. You'll know its still there but not from the players position and your friends will think you bought new ramps.

As he learned the hard way, you can not flame "Polish" a crack. No offense Komolo, its humble of you tell the story for others to learn from.

One of my tips for flame polishing is that you hold the ramp with your bare hand on the bottom and sides directly where the flame is being applied. Assuming you have nerve endings that work, that will be your alarm system to back off and its dummy proof.

Here's a suggest. Go to a plastic manufacturing company and get some free scraps to practice with. They have bins for give away or at least the one in Louisville did. Maybe take your ramp along and ask them to diagnose the type of acrylic or whatever it is and get scraps of that.

You can do it and being nervous about it will probably help you be careful. I was nervous my first time also after the scare stories.

Last Friday evening I brought home the Bone Busters on Craigslist (Loveland) and have been shopping it out since. The seller continues to let the ad run for some reason, along with his ad selling a Jokerz. If you're interested in the Jokerz read on.

The seller is not a Pinhead and the Bone Busters is a Basement Find. A dirty, dusty, diamond in the ruff that has sat un-played for many, many years. It's not perfect but I couldn't be happier or more surprised as I tear it down and shop it out.

I did a very superficial look at the Jokerz and cannot comment on its condition other than it powers up. The GI was mostly out and I was there for the Bone Busters. But if the Jokerz has a similar history, which I suspect it might, it could be worth while to check out.

Seller is negotiable on price but he is also haggle savvy.

fortcollins.craigslist.org link

Summer time slow down, happens every year. I'll be listing a Indiana Jones (Williams) fairly soon.

It came out great. All it needs now is a new playfield glass.

It was great chatting with you at the Showdown by the way. I'm still chuckling of what Rick told you about CCr.

Hey JJ, I'll PM you his info.

Sorry you didn't make it last night.

I have two desirable titles all ready to sell but I haven't got my ads running just yet. Anyone interested can shoot me a message for details.

Yes, but would you sell one of your games for 20k.

Agreement to buy/sell BBB happened last night with a gentleman in Ohio for full price. Pending bank transfer today of $1000 deposit to hold and final payment due after shipping arrangements are made. He wants a wood shipping crate built for it and tells me has a company lined up that he has done business with in the past.

Would I pay $20K for a game? Probably not. But its value is perceived by others and people can spend their money however they like.

As an imperfect comparison, the SLE Batman66 sold for $15,000 and people were falling all over themselves to buy one. For 5K more this man is buying a mint condition, prototype and a true collector's item with an interesting history. Again, to each their own.

FYI: Stern lost me as a customer that, SLE BM66 day, when they required me to buy it sight unseen along with a non-refundable deposit. I was so insulted I politely told them thanks but no thanks.
In fact, that event was the beginning for me, along with some others, that has left a bad taste in my mouth for the entire hobby. I'm not sure where I'll end up but I'm definitely moving in other directions.

I will edit my ad after receiving the deposit to show Sale Pending.

I've enjoyed owning Big Bang Bar since new in box 2007 and I will miss it.

I appreciate your question but I'm not sure how to answer. I feel I'm at a crossroad in my life I need to reinvent myself.

Yes, I'm strongly considering leaving the hobby, no I won't be leaving completely but then again, maybe I will. Clear as mud right?

I just feel it's time for me to downsize and as my collection gets smaller, I'll evaluate whether to stay or go.

Anything you see of mine for sale now or up coming will be in excellent condition to HUO to collectors quality. Some of my games I have owned for well over a decade with very low mileage. My prices are rarely set in stone and I'm always glad to negotiate with local Pinsiders. Feel free to come kick the tires and chat.

Kim

Hi all. I've received some very kind private messages concerning my status and I'm feeling a little like a drama queen. For now, let's just say I'm selling some games.

Some have asked about the crate builder and shipping company my BBB buyer is using. He tells me it's mostly nationwide and called, Craters & Freighters. He's getting bids now and I can imagine it's expensive.

Interesting side note. My buyer collects only high end machines and has been collecting since the 1970's. Seems like a real gentleman but I've never heard his name before.

Follow up to Big Bang Bar.

I received full payment a couple of days ago and shipping arrangements have been made. New owner tells me Craters & Freighters will be charging around $1700 depending on final weight. I have it wrapped and cardboarded waiting pick up.

I have two friends here in Colorado that own BBB and I know they are following this thread. I got $20,000.00 and it sold in less than a week. New owner even told me at the start there was no point in negotiating the price as he was satisfied. I also had two very solid back up offers and one of them tried to snipe the deal by offering me more money. - Food for thought.

Shit, George, I just sold mine a few days ago. It would have been nice getting caught up with you.
(It's unlikely I'll be leaving this addictive hobby anytime soon as I have a TNA ordered. ...But I'm still flip flopping...

Thanks Mike, I didn't realise but good to know.

I'm selling my home use only, Rock-Ola Nostalgic Bubbler Jukebox if anyone is interested. Full multi color changing light tubes and bubblers. It holds 100 CD's and plays perfectly. I have it set for random auto play but you can program it however you like include coin-op if you have a location.

I would rather make a deal with a local Pinsider before going to Craigslist. I paid $5K for it a few years ago but I'll make someone a sweet deal on it. I'm still having my mid-pinball life crisis and I'm motivated to sell it.

You can Google "Rock ola model cd 8 bubbler" for images and information.

http://jukeboxesunlimited.com/products/Rockola-CD-8/Rockola%20CD-8-2-W.jpg

I just played it during lunch today.

Sorry, not for sale. That simple and silly little game has me totally addicted and it's hard for me to fully explain why. I slid the PDI glass from my BBB into it and wow did that make the playfield pop.

I don't think you and I have met, have we? Either way, stop down some time and take a spin on it with me. Others are welcome also.

***
I may have a couple of sheets of PDI glass for sale as not every one buying my games are taking it with. If there's interest I'll do a quick inventory.

I'm horrible at remembering people in general and Pinside handles and avatars only complicate things for me. Seems I need to meet someone at least three times before I begin tracking. I try but sometimes I come off as aloof or arrogant. I certainly don't mean to as I'm actually quite embarrassed by my poor social skills. Thoughtful people take pity on me and re-introduce themselves which is always appreciated.

I'll PM you my phone number. Come play Bone Busters sometime.

Good to know as that adds to resale value.

Kim

I'm looking to buy a Skeeball machine, 12 foot preferred and also wanting to buy a 12 foot Shuffleboard. Needing repair on the skeeball is fine but no huge, major projects please.
I have WTB ads on Craigslist for more clarity or contact. - My game room is spacious these days.

Many thanks

Update: Sometimes friends can make mistakes and act inappropriately. Tom Grobe has accepted my apology and I have accepted his.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Kim Mitchell

Until a few weeks ago, I had both games sitting next to one another in my game room. BBB is now gone but TBL is still here.

Two girlfriends of mine are having a, Ugly Sweater Pinball Party in my home on Friday, December 15th. It's my house so I get to invite people also. Bring a friend and come play TBL and the others if you like. Ugly sweaters are optional and I have mixed emotions about it all...

Might as well make it a blow out party so I'm inviting anyone from this thread to attend. Write me privately to RSVP and for my address. My zip is 80303.

Kim

As a small part of my collection, yes, absolutely. Played my Centigrade 37 at an impromptu party I had last night. (I have a ceramic, power ball in it)

Every collection should have at least one EM, IMO.

People should be careful with their comments when criticizing a machine or an ad.

The ad has already been deleted.

I stopped in to Game Exchange a few weeks ago to check out the Attack From Mars remake. Yikes, what a beautiful machine and it played very smooth.
It was dumb luck for me that JJ was on vacation as it wouldn't have taken much to get my credit card out.

Come on Rob, nobody is concerned about your photo. It works and you can be proud of it.

Many of us suspected the WTB ad's were yours and I thought it was a clever and funny way to comment. Consider it a friendly poke that we're on to you.
If I thought any of this was a serious personal attack, I would have defended you and I know I'm not alone. Roll with it buddy, this is the internet.

Go over to the Jpop thread about 10 months ago and you can read where an angry, completely false crusade was orchestrated against me. I was intentionally slandered and lied about concerning Magic Girl and it was a very effective smear campaign. After months of a Pinside gangbang, I was finally vindicated but the lies still persist among many today. And that's not my only rodeo here.

I'm glad you spoke up for yourself, Rob, that shows strength in itself. And sincere congratulations on managing your drug addiction. If you can handle that, a little Pinside bullshit should be easy.

Welcome to Thunderdome.

I'm in Boulder. Stop over any time and bring a guest or two.

Kim

Sorry for the double whammy but, its not for sale and James Hale has asked first.

Thank you for the nice compliment my friend.

Any guesses as to how many years that Superman in Colorado Springs has been for sale now? The price fluctuations has been interesting to follow also.

Selling my HUO, Rock-Ola bubbler jukebox. Ad is on Denver Craigslist when you search "pinball".
Always glad to deal with a fellow Pinsiders on price. - Pinside donation will be made if sold here.
Thanks
*sold*

Added over 6 years ago: Craigslist ad has now been deleted.

I'd like to buy the Bobby Orr on CL as a gift for a non pinball friend. He doesn't collect but told me a couple of years ago he remembers playing one as a kid and had a fondness for it.

Link: denver.craigslist.org link

I have called right from the beginning, left voice message, texted AND emailed .... all with zero responses to any of my attempts. If anyone knows anything or can help I'd appreciate it.

Many thanks.

I just now spoke to him. Someone is there right now negotiating to buy it and he will let me know if it sells or not.

Thank you for offering to help.

I'm looking to buy a Medusa if you know of one. Anything from project to pristine and I will pay accordingly.
I have cash and can travel long distance.

Also looking for a Skee Ball machine.

Thanks

I saw that, Russell. Not for me but a clever sales idea. I hope it works out.
With combined shipping cost for an out of state buyer or 2 friends, you may have luck selling it on Pinside.

I think you did exceptionally well especially given the level of competition. Thanks for representing Colorado so well.

I'm not desperate but I'm motivated to sell my Christopher Hutchins restored Cirqus Voltaire. It’s the Sample version and a stunning, collectors quality game if anyone is interested.

I’m trying to take advantage of the Denver show being in town and prefer a face to face or local deal.

Link: denver.craigslist.org link

Thanks

Thanks. I'm an equal opportunity seller.

Nah, you tried something different and it didn't work out is all.
You and I did a deal not too long ago and I think you're a stand up guy. - Good luck with sale.

PM sent.

Hi all

I have a computer illiterate friend in Colorado that wants to sell his Big Bang Bar. It's HUO, original owner and in beautiful condition with low mileage. He has it moderately priced, especially based on condition and he's a honorable man.

I'm trying to minimize my involvement in the details and I am simply helping a friend. He is willing to ship and very experienced in doing so.

If you have a sincere interest, let me know. I will simply connect the two of you to work out the details and I will step aside.

Want to buy, Bobby Orr's Power Play.

I'm helping a newbie search for his first game and he desires a Bobby Orr Power Play. I don't mind getting my hands dirty but no major projects nor any machines with sticker shock for a first timer. Willing to pay a fair price based on condition.
Doesn't hurt to talk so let me know what you've got or if you know of someone.

Thanks

No longer needed. My friend has backed out due to "wife" issues.

https://gameexchange.biz/ - I referred my friend there for when he's ready.

Word of mouth got me into a friend of a friend of a friend's basement this morning. He's a non-pinball guy that has owned a Gottlieb, Out of Sight machine since the late 70's he tells me and I believed him. He bought it used and it was likely routed for a short while.
I've owned this title before and I'm shifting priorities in my personal life, so I passed on it.

Has some planking and needs a playfield cleaning but other than that, it's pretty damn nice. I didn't do a deep inspection but viewing the back glass from the outside only, it looks spectacular. And the entire machine has been keep in his dark, clean, temperature controlled basement all of these 40 plus years.
He's dead solid firm at $500.

Not advertised at this point so contact me if you want his phone number and I'll connect the two of you.

Game has been picked up. Thanks all.

I have a couple of pallets, free for pick up if anyone wants them.

Mark Gibson is teaching that class and he is the most knowledgeable man I've ever met when it comes to EM machines. He is also very creative with his unique, home brew pinball creations and it's my guess he will have many of his operational sculptures available for the students.
Mark is very generous with his incredible knowledge and I'm proud to know him.

Never heard of Mark Gibson? That's because he is as humble and soft spoken of a man as you will ever meet. Pay attention to every word he says and have fun.

A lot of people know that Hilton and I don't like one another. And that's OK as I would guess many of you guys might have issues within your circle, as a lot of people do. It's a unfortunate part of human nature especially among those of us that are opinionated and pig headed.

That said, it is my sense and understanding that Hilton is a very reliable buyer and seller and I would encourage anyone interested in his game to reach out to him. It's also my strong guess that you will find his pictures and description as credible.

Thanks for reading. - Kim

Is anyone interested in having a group intervention for Pinstein?

I think Pinstein forgot the sarcasm emoji.

He's up to $5000 now but he's willing to work with your shipper.

denver.craigslist.org link

I'm looking for someone to work on my Gottlieb System 80-B
machine. Randy at Peak Pinball is on vacation until the end of the
month and my guess is he will be very busy getting caught up after
he returns.

The game resets during game play and won't restart without a
complete shut down.

A full time mechanic is welcomed of course. Or maybe if your
confidence is decent and you might want to spread your wings a
little for some extra cash, I'm game. - No expectations if so and
maybe we both could learn.

PM or post here is fine.

Thanks
