FS- HUO TFLE Combo- Southern Wisconsin- $4800

http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/fs-tfle-combo

I am selling some toys to pay for other toys (just got my 3rd air cooled VW in the lineup-can't have just one), and Transformers will probably pull the most coin in my collection without causing family discourse...LOL

I will post some pics later tonight- no surprises though....

Of note, here is what has been added-

White rubber all the way around
Foam leg protectors (no decal wrinkling)
Flipper Fidelity Subwoofer/kit
Red DMD cover
Latest Code
Stern Powerpack (or whatever they were calling it- fixing airballs)

The game has been tweaked and plays great. No Megatron trough hang ups, and pitched steep and fast.

This was Turbo20lbs previous machine, and he did a nice job dialing it in. (I think he has photos linked on his post of this machine too)....

Tim is a great seller. Just bought my POTC from him a few months ago.

Thanks Tom, you are a pretty cool dude yourself...

I have also had some nice trade offers on this machine already (Thanks everyone). The only trade I *may* consider is FT (any condition, the rougher the better for me though) plus cash.

Depends on condition. I would say an average player condition FT with some fade and minor PF wear plus 3000-32000 is about the range.

Honestly..maybe... I price my pins to move quickly(like hours) but am not doing so with this one. I am putting together 10k for a shed for my other toys and probably won't be building until august. I really don't mind keeping this one for awhile, it really is my favorite in my lineup. I will be selling a fun house, poto, and possibly one of my other air coolers, so however I get to 10k first is how it rolls.....

This game looks great and is the most dialed-in/brutally fast TF I've played!-I'm going to miss it. Tim's asking price is very fair and this game will make someone really happy! GLWS.

Thanks.... Unfortunately, my weekend nights are consumed for the next year or so. I have two young kids and my wife works on weekends, so until my two year old is a bit older, I am fairly housebound on weekend nights.

Your two year old will be sad when TF LE is gone. My two year old won't let me play when he's on it and he bangs on the flippers until he can get "moolti-bawl."

Nice..... I revamped my lineup a few times over the last couple of years, and one wall is nothing but games the 2 and 5 year old requested (mostly the 5 year old). My 2 year old would freak if I sold POTC and my 5 year old would freak if I sold IJ.

I bought TFLE because I had limited time on a Pro at Gameworks and couldn't stop playing it. It has become my favorite game in my current lineup (it is insanely deep), and there is a good chance I end up keeping it, depending on what toys I sell. It is a good problem to have for sure...

Which one?

Right now they are all type 1s (Beetles)..... A 66, and two 68s... I am working on a lead on a type 2 double cab, which would put even more machines up for sale....My goal is to not sell any of the type 1s right now, and just get the shed built with minimal pinball sell-offs...

The Car Show? that was a couple of weeks ago.... Another one in September though... I usually go out there to walk around with the kids, usually not too much old German tin out there.... Don't recall seeing too much early Jap stuff either though...

Buy with confidence from Tim. Make sure you bring an extra guy or strong woman because Tim's kinda frail these days, can't lift his end of the machine.

Why do you always sell my favorite games? You could just tell me not to come over, dude!

LOL.... I get my kicks by torturing others. I like to do informal surveys of what you like best, invite you over, then sell the machine. People think Pinball is my hobby, but my real hobby is just f#*$ng with other people....

I will throw out there that I am willing to deliver this machine at my asking price within 75 miles of 53137, but would prefer you see it in person first....

Careful on that offer Pinheadpuckguy..... Depending on Dave's mood that game may have an additional 5000 plays on it in that short time frame.... Or it may have 5 on it.... It really is a roll of the dice...

It would be awesome if my wife came home from her weekend of shopping and there were two new games in the family room. Heck, TF is pretty enough for the living room, right?

Tim is about the best seller you will find. Nothing hidden at all. Quite honestly, he reveals too much and I'm not talking about pinballs...well, sort of...he's an awesome player with the glass off too! This TF is totally dialed in and in perfect shape.
Wondering why Brian did not buy it? That monkey habitat getting pricey?

Thanks, I figured you would pass on this since you wouldn't be able to set it to 10 ball... I think Brian is adding more gold to his bike collection this summer...Or the Bonobo is costing him more money than he anticipated. I told him kids were expensive, some things you have to figure out on your own...

As far as Steve, yeah, sounds like its bananas and mangos every day for that Bonabo. Glad to see he's treating him like Paris Hilton's purse dog.

It's amazing how there are no price police around. A pinsider trying to sell a pin at a great price. Very interesting how civil and fun a thread can be when you aren't trying to rob someone. I love my TFLE GLWS, someone will be very happy.

I really enjoy the game as well....If it doesn't sell I won't be sad...

I'd trade away a few pinballs for a nice type II truck from the late 60s/early 70s. Splitwindows are a love of mine.

My first 2 vehicles were vdubs. 71 superB and a 72 kombi.

I have been restoring/driving Vdubs since I was 13.... They are my first love. Your lucky you like the later ones, the early type 2's will eat up at least 30k for something "player quality"....

A recent conversation in my household...

Me: Tim is selling Transformers.
My son:Get it
Me: Ok but AFM has to go...
My son: Nevermind

There's no accounting for taste. I think he actually likes TF more but doesn't want to see pins leave. He got teary eyed when space shuttle left and he's still pissed about CP & TZ. lol.

Price drop? I kiid, I kiid. I'm still thinking about it but you know me and my over-deliberate buying style.
