Item description

Earthshaker
This full restoration was finished approximately June, 2020 by PinBall Reborn
If you are familiar with my work, you can appreciate the time/expertise involved in my restorations
No shortcuts were taken.

If you are looking for one of the nicest Earthshaker ever...this is it.
If there are any pictures you'd like to see...don't hesitate to ask.
I'm only selling this to fund a NIB.

I realize the price is much higher than a player's condition game.
The game, the restoration parts and the expertise is the price justification.


Trades: The only game I'm interested in right now is Medieval Madness

Thanks for looking

It's currently sitting next to my restored Whirlwind...they do look great together.

I thought federal law prohibits splitting up WW and ES. Pat Lawlor will be notified!

Beautiful, great job! Though I would have chosen a different color powder-coat on the trim.

I agree on trim. But it is a sick nice game!!! Great restore!!!

Earthshaker is full of many colors. The obvious choices for armor color were yellow, red or blue. All I thought would overpower the machine. The orange was chosen to tie in with the orange in the title, but was darkened up a little to give some contrast.

Armor color choice is very subjective and can be really difficult to choose sometimes.
It's hard to please everyone.

"one of the nicest" is NOT the same thing as saying "nicest Earthshaker in existence." Read better and have a little bit of class.

Beautiful machine OP, bump!

To be fair...I updated the ad to please turbo2nr...if that's possible.

He changed it man....that is not what it said originally.
YOU read better and follow the edit history next time eh?
Thanks

Scott..."nicest" is subjective.
Play nice and have a good day man.

#19 2 years ago
Quoted from turbo2nr:

Can't help myself.

Found the real problem. Just be nice man, it isn't that difficult.

#20 2 years ago

I prefer the op’s earthshaker over turbos. Just my opinion.

Don't let pinsiders dictate how you describe the machine. To you, it's the nicest and therefore you're labeling it as such. It's a D move to come into a thread and post about your own game but I'm also not surprised. I would go back and update it the way you had it.

All I did was change "the nicest" to "one of the nicest".
I think it's still valid.
Drama is the worst thing about this hobby...and I do my best to refrain involvement with it.

You need to listen to delt. He could sell ice to Eskimos.

The red powder does look better than the chrome on this one.

If your throwing around things like "nicest" and "high end restored" you should post a shooter lane pic.

I added a picture of the shooter lane.

Expensive, but probably “worth it” if one considers the amount of labor involved.

It’s almost certainly in better condition than when NIB (everyone seems to worship at the WMS altar, but in reality they were just about as problematic as any new Stern), and I’m sure will feel like a higher quality item than the current NIB Prem/LE alternatives selling for similar or more $$.

If this is your “grail” title (it IS undoubtedly one of the great classics), you probably won’t easily find a better one!
