Man, I haven't been this excited for something pinball related in a loooonnnnng time. I have been looking for a nice example of this game for the last 10 years. I still feel like I am in one of those "pinch me" moments.

The Pinball Deities have smiled upon me this week... A Jolly Park and a Rescue 911 playfield I have been looking for 3 years for within 24 hours of each other....

AdamPinball has been really awesome throughout.....

Thanks man...You and me both!

Thanks Guys.... I have always enjoyed the game at Expo, but always felt like it wasn't as finely tuned as it should be (not slamming Mike). I think the game is actually a lot more fun than those who have only experienced it at Expo. This game is a widebodied monster, and I will be more than happy to share pics of the whole thing once it gets here. It is so different, and not a lot of people have seen one (let alone see the insides of one), and there isn't a lot of material out there on it.

I can't believe how crazy this week has been, I honestly never thought I would find a nice one since there probably only a handful of them in the US (only guessing). I have been collecting since 1999, and have always kept my eyes open for a nice example of this title, and there have only been one or two in that time frame that were a possibility if they would have shipped them.

I can't say enough nice things about AdamPinball, if you are ever looking at doing a distance deal with him, don't hesitate.

Thanks again Adam!

Dude take this to PM with Adam.... He explained to me he had it for a short time and wasn't really excited about selling it but was expanding his business. You also assume that he was making money on this.... for FULL disclosure (not that I need to) Adam and I agreed on $4500 and split shipping. He isn't making any money off you. I don't know him personally, but can get a read on people in about 3 minutes, and he is one of the most honest sellers I have encountered.

Matt,

This one is coming to Wisconsin, do you already have the serial? You have any generic parts (like the drop targets) for this one?

Sorry to hear that. If it is any consolation to you, he didn't sound excited about selling it by any means. If you are a true friend, you should be happy that he is expanding the pinball/arcade hobby to the general public. It is a rare opportunity for anyone in today's environment.

If it helps, you have a total stranger's excitement about pinball at a new 14 year high. This is the first time I have felt like a kid at Christmas for the first time in a long time. The three people that I can actually share my excitement with are already tired of hearing about it... LOL

Will do.... Would be stoked if you can make some contacts on the drops. I will make them work for now, but will obviously take anything I can get my hands on.

Never played VW... I played my Buddy's Bushido though.... It has a very similar feel to it...

Yeah the flippers... I knew Inder became Spinball, but wasnt sure when they transitioned. The backglass that opens on both sides is just brilliant stuff... I knowit is simple, but it is really cool nonetheless....I dunno how many times I have been on the wrong side of the machne when I need to work on it

Hi Tim
Sorry about my rant earlier
You just got yourself a awesome game
And the best shape I have seen by far
Congratulations !!
I have some spare parts for Jolly Park
Such as some plastics that break often
And extra targets
Let me know ones you get the game
And still think you want these targets
Instead of trying to fix them I can send
Them to you
Keep on flipping

Thanks... I will send you a PM. I am beyond words right now. My whole family thinks I am strange (well they did before)....Like I said before, I have had a lot of games come and go, but this one is special, I didn't even think I would be having this conversation. I feel like I am riding around on a unicorn right now....

The game is a beautiful example. Adam sent me pictures of every inch of the game, and I couldn't be happier.

No boogers left... that finger has been there a LONG time...

Thanks man.... You still aren't allowed over to play it.... that restraining order is good for at least another 30 days...

LOL.... Still one of the best threads on Pinside.... Who would have thought Brian was smart enough to parlay a Tron Pro into a Bonobo....

Most likely the end of next week. Pickup from Vegas is on Monday. You are more than welcome to give it a run for sure. It is going to look nice next to that pitch and bat

Ummm. just a brief update.... the games sold to fund the pinball shed turned into Jolly Park, so.... technically if you get inside of JP to play it, you are playing it in the new pinball shed.

I still like the fact that you always fall for the "wanna see the ship's mast" in those bad boys...certainly explains some of that restraining order...

I would love to do the league first but two of my nice league games just left (TFLE and POTC) and the two that replaced it need to be torn down before I can host (TSPP and POTC)....Right now my project to shopped ratio is completely out of whack....

I promise Jolly Park will be a league game though (You guys have been practicing on that one to make it fair right?)

Woot! I picked up Jolly Park from the Con Way shipping terminal today and it is in the lineup and playing fast and furious..... Anyone looking to buy/sell with Adam Pinball, have ZERO worries, one of the easiest/best transactions I have ever done....Thanks again Adam!

I will see him on Saturday, there is still time

That is sacrilege broseph.... Simpsons and 1812 are going on the other wall (Simpsons is already there).... This wall is now reserved for DMDs only...

I practice pinball segregation in my house.... All the alphanumerics are shamed to their own spot...

Thanks, I only have seen one other one to baseline it from, but this one is in really nice shape. A couple of broken drops and a broken plastic (on its corner), but overall a really nice example. My wife notices cosmetics far more than I, and she said it looked really nice, so once it passes her test, I am usually in the clear
