In early March I bought a new home and also bought an IM and this SST. I was caught up in pinball fever. Now that I've spent over a grand on mods for IM and have plenty more yet to buy I have realized that I am just a one pinball guy for right now. I have spent a bunch of money on this new house and have to find some funds for the landscaping now.

This pin is fun as hell. SST is my favorite movie and its cool as hell but it needs a new home. I paid $1800 for it from a fellow pinsider and had it shipped from PA. I'm not going to jack the price up to give you wiggle room so I get the price I want. It's not a pristine machine, it's 17 years old and has its flaws. It needs some TLC but its still a great game in overall above average condition. The right side is rough, the left side looks great. Flipper wear on both has been covered up by black paint/filler. Price is firm.

I bought a badass custom Brain Bug shooter rod from Brock, donated to a pinsider to get some custom instruction cards, added some LEDs, new pinballs and rubber floor protectors. Has original manual which I will include of course. All small stuff really.

The previous owner stated he had just replaced the DMD before he shipped it so its practically brand new. He also stated he put in a second speaker and put in new super bands as well.

Bump. Who wants to kill some bugs?

#3 9 years ago

I do, are you making a trip to Chicago anytime soon?

Thanks, Brian

#4 9 years ago

C'mon you apes! Buy this machine!!

#5 9 years ago

not to sidetrack your thread here...but who is the artist on the super-chix print in the background?

#6 9 years ago

who did you buy this from originally?

No problem, I bought this one and the other at an art show. Foust is the name on the bottom right of the piece. Arent they hot as shit? It wasnt cheap but I saw it and I had to have it. I am a huge Iron Man fan. The other piece I bought appears to me to have been done by a pro-Bat Man fan. I like to think that Batman has exhausted all his little toys and now he's pissed off Tony and the gloves are about to come off and Bruce is about to eat some repulsor rays.

Anyway. Buy the machine and I could toss in the sexy super heroes as good spank material for free.

Quoted from Whysnow:

I started a thread stating I wanted to buy a SST and Robx46 PM'ed me.

Thanks, Brian

I've only been to Chicago once and that was on a layover from Albania when I was in the Marines years ago.

You ever been to Memphis? Seen Graceland? You come get the pin and I'll buy you tickets.

#10 9 years ago

#11 9 years ago

Made me laugh. Haha thanks

SST is a solid game, and I've come to like IM more too. Tough to part with either one! If you were around Boston or Hartford I could find a taker! Cliched, but... GLWS

Thanks man. I love both of them too. Sucks to have to sell it. Hope it finds a good home.

#20 9 years ago

Show him no mercy!!

#21 9 years ago

SST is a rare game that many pinheads have not had a chance to play. This game is better then a lot of new games IMHO. The rule set is simple yet addictive and deep enough to not get boring. Fast pace multi-ball madness! The shot layout is fantastic. Do a side by side shot layout comparison with MM.

If and when you decide to buy another game, you will have a hard time finding a game at this price that will be as good. Good luck with your sale...you will miss it.

#22 9 years ago

Good game, great price. I miss mine. GLWTS!

#23 9 years ago

The only good bug is a dead bug bump.....

#24 9 years ago

Gyner-Bug shooters are the best!

Oh, how I wish I could see something else....
Don't get me wrong, your artwork is top-notch. But the resemblance is uncanny.

#29 9 years ago

That things as gross as a hickey on a hemorrhoid.

#31 9 years ago

#32 9 years ago

No I think I'll bump the price up 100 just for the ich factor

#33 9 years ago

Day after Memorial Day bump.

Sold for $1900 to a local buyer.

#37 9 years ago

Yeah on here it was for Pinsiders since that's what I paid ($1800) from a Pinsider. On craigslist I upped it $100 because I had added two shooter rods, play field glass from my IM when I bought new beveled glass for IM, added LEDS, new rubbers, magnet protectors, etc. The local buyer didnt have to pay for shipping (I did at $420 bucks). I charged him a lil more. He was thrilled with it.

#39 9 years ago

Thanks, sad to see it go. Going to head to their house and play his Godzilla and BSD. Can't wait.

#40 9 years ago

The new owner was also interested in the artwork of the sexy female heroes. So he brought me something to trade for it. Very cool!
