Getting ready to pull the trigger.....

Well I've learned I have to act a little quicker. The High Speed auction was pulled from eBay due to it being sold locally. Firepower was parted out due to lack of interest. Police Force guy disappeared. Gorgar guy won't come down below $900. Doh. Guess it's just a waiting game now.

HS is cool but Police Force would be just as good and I bet you could find one for 700.00 or less. Dollar wise PF is a better choice since you know you like it already.

Of that list I like HS best then police force, firepower, gorgar in that order.

I do not have enough time on galaxy to judge it.

Best of luck hunting for your new machine.

Well I actually just bought my first pin last night; not on my above list but played it a bunch over the years and really like it. I'm now the proud owner of a Cyclone that's been in a family gameroom for the last 20 years or so; pretty dirty, but other than that, in great condition with some wear in the usual spots. Ramps are all intact, however, and everything works great. Very happy. I'll be sure to snap some pictures and post about it when I bring it home this week (had my beater car with me and couldn't take it last night). Thanks, everyone.

Congrats on your first pin. Many more are sure to follow. I would suggest changing those batteries out in the back box and install a remote battery holder. Verify that all the fuses are the proper ones and get to cleaning that bad boy. Amazing what a difference new rubbers and a clean playfield can make. Have fun and welcome to the madness. BTW... we love pics!

I already ordered a remote battery holder; I remember from reading here that leakage is a problem. I'm definitely going to have to play a couple games before I can take it apart and start cleaning though (or wait to get a second pin I can play in its stead).

Anyone have any idea if a pin with a folded down backbox on the top will fit in a Jeep Grand Cherokee (height wise)?

If you look on ipdb.org, there's probably a manual for it that gives it's overall dimensions. If not for that specific machine, then for one of it's system 11 brethren.

Highspeed is 29 inches folded down, I was going to try to fit mine in a trailblazer but the trade fell through.

Thanks, all. I'll take a look.

I haven't totally discounted your HS; just have to find the time to get down there. Not to sound cliche', but if it were closer, I'd buy it.

Yes, I've hauled a million pins this way. It's awesome. Take out that black plastic mat if its in there and the pin will slide right in on the rails. So sweet in the winter

I can get it 100 Miles closer on thursday! You are right though thats a haul, I'm always willing to meet in the middle but that can be sketchy for the buyer as you can't really plug the machine in and play it properly.

Sure will... I've done it dozens of times.

Cyclone... best of the original list, and it wasn't even on it..

Congrats!
