    Any EM nuts in South Jersey. Just wondered who is near me. I'm alone in my area when it comes to pinball which is OK but no one to talk or help or Pinball hunt with. I'm not interested in S.S. I never played them. Maybe if someone introduced me to the S.S. side I would change my mind, but my passion is EM. Thanks

    With you on the EM, no SS interest. On the northern end of SJ. Open to helping or hunting for games.

    Where in South Jersey are you?

    #4 8 years ago

    I'm up in Union at times (my collection is always here obviously), not South Jersey by any means and barely even central (seems you're okay with going to Pinfest though so same distance! ) but there's a lot of EM collectors up North here, I imagine there would be down there too due to all of the beaches, boardwalks, and their pasts.

    You should go to one of Vic Camp's "open houses" sometime, his collection is beautiful and a very knowledgeable guy, with friends who also share those traits.

    There's a bunch of EM guys down that way. I don't want to name names, but some even reside here on Pinside.

    Come to Allentown and meet them! May 6-7

    #7 8 years ago

    I will be at Allentown on Friday. I'm new on this forum but hopefully I will be able to meet a few of you. I have a big passion for EM machines but I'm kinda doing it by myself. I bought my first machine 3 years ago and slowly taught myself how to work on them. I have 4 machines now and hopefully will pick one up at Pinfest. I have all Gottliebs and 3 are Wedgeheads.

    I just thought I would take a shot to see if anybody was close by

    #9 8 years ago

    There are probably several close by! Again, where in South Jersey are you?

    #10 8 years ago

    I`m about as south as jersey gets !!! I have a Gottlieb Magnotron f\s if interested...

    #11 8 years ago

    I used to live in Atlantic County. I'll assume if you're serious, that you're in Cape May. Fred Lange is in the Villas, Glen Gehrhardt lives somewhere very close to Wildwood. Both have several machines and buy and sell.

    Advertise your game on Craigslist, or place your want-list there. That'll quickly plug you into the network of local collectors.

    He's not the guy who started the thread. No response yet from him as to his location.

    Hey Spider,

    Name is Bert. I'm from Marlton. We call that South Jersey, but not as far south as you.

    I'm an EM guy through and through. Pretty active on the forum and I like to help others get their machines going.

    I have rebuilt and sold a few, currently have 4 in my lineup and have 2 projects waiting for some space. One is a Gottlieb SO76 which I'd like to fix and keep.

    The other is an OXO which is pretty roached and wouldn't mind selling as is or get running and then sell as a project.

    There are several more of us nearby.

    If you ever need anything let me know.

    Bert

    I was waiting for you and others to chime in. AFAIK, he still hasn't said where in South Jersey he is. How's Chris anyway? Has anyone heard from him?

    I'm in Voorhees, which is next to Cherry Hill. Yes, I am an EM guy. Anyone who wants to compare notes and visit, send me a private message.
