My 2 EMs. Hot Tip is definitely a forever keeper. Most fun EM I have ever played. Spooksville is really unique and cool...but may sell down the road if I need the room.

Quoted from DanMarino:Very cool. Doubt I’ll ever see one of these in person. I love unusual things. Is Spooksville any fun to play? I can’t tell how much there is to do as far as shots or targets to aim for.
Yeah it's pretty damn cool and fun.

Quoted from Mopar:I heard very good things about Card Whiz. I like Add-a-Balls, and the next best
thing for me on multi players is Shoot Again. That's what kept me from searching
for a Card Whiz is that it doesn't have "Same Player Shoots Again". If it had a
Shoot Again, I'm sure I'd have one a while back, but it appears this is one title
that I should maybe consider as an exception..
Another title I never really looked into is Hot Tip. I hear only good things about
Hot Tip..
Hot Tip is my favorite EM ever. By a very large margin. 6 drop targets, spinner, captive ball, 2 kick out holes. BOOM!

I've picked up 6 new pins in the last 3 weeks (4 EMs and 2 SS). This is my latest pickup and 1st barn find! Some before pics and then after cleaning 35 years worth of filth off of it.

Quoted from AlexHorse:My first time posting here but figure I'd share a pic of my first pinball, a Williams Klondike that I got a couple days ago. Never had a pinball machine before (just some arcade games) and I'm really excited to start learning everything I can about it
[quoted image]
Awesome! Congratulations and welcome!
Picked up a truckload today! Apologies for the early SS.
Quoted from bigguybbr:Man you are cleaning up on EMs lately

I’ve been wanting to play that machine. The spinner action looks fun.
Fum game for sure. I had the 2 player version Soccer previously.
Quoted from bigguybbr:Looking better. Is that from one of your recent hauls?
Yeah picked this one up in a group of 6.
I just love working on these old pins and giving them new life. Getting new people into pinball. Most of the time I sell to 1st time pin owners. Good stuff!

Wow that game is clean!

Quoted from Garrett:A huge thank you to TractorDoc for the drop target stars and mrm_4 for the lower board labels!
Gameplay is quite snappy.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from pinwiztom:beautiful game
but do you really need the (non standard) center post
between the flippers?
While the flipper gap is fairly wide
the game has no outlanes
and only one gobble hole
to compensate.
I just left it there cause it was there when I got it. I will definitely let the next owner know it's not original and that they can remove it. That post seems to be a common addition to this game.

I didn't have a chance to take my usual finished pics as I sold this literally the minute I finished it. Anyway this was my most recent repair and refresh. Man I love replacing pop skirts...lol. Williams Darling.

Quoted from Apinjunkie:I picked up this Williams Hotline last week. It needs a good cleaning but has nice bones. I'm relatively new to the EM's but that chime in the cabinet looks like a hack.... Is it a doorbell, Also, the shooter rod housing is plastic, is that original? I've only ever seen metal ones.
Curious how long they were using those.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Yep. That is the correct shooter housing.

Did you get to keep the tools that were on Combat, apparently since the stone age?
Lol. This was my 1st and only barn find thus far. It's actually in surprisingly good shape.

Just finished the playfield on this game. This game is absolutely stunning in person. The pictures just don't do it justice. One you don't see very often, if ever. Zaccaria Combat.
