Quoted from AlexF:The minute you buy one you'll see 3 of them the next month for sale.
You couldn't be more right Alex. I looked for my Drop a Card about 8 years ago and spent 2 years looking. So, I overpaid for mine on ebay because everyone else bidding against me couldn't find one either. And then they start coming up for sale on a regular basis and a year later they're selling for a lot less than what I paid. I see them for sale often now especially on ebay. It's happened to me on 2001 and lately Flying Carpet. These last two times I waited though.......

It would be 1500 then. The seller's actually a good guy though.
That's just a matter of hiring a resto done (assuming a repaint is acceptable; I know it would preclude it from being CQ for some).
Plenty of folks who do restorations out there.
Quoted from Rat_Tomago:Thanks Dirt for the link but I need something collectors quality and I am not afraid to pay for it.
The thought scares me. But it does sound like a man with a plan.
Quoted from hoov:Thanks Dirt for the link but I need something collector quality, close to me, and under $500 because I'm am afraid to pay for it unlike Rat. I may be looking for awhile for that one though...............
Dreaming is, of course, free...

I can dream a good dream.

Let me re-phrase it. I am looking for something either restored 9/10 or original 9/10 playfield and glass. I can always repaint a 7/10 scratched up cab. Boilerman's is 9+ machine on plastics and playfield alone. The thing is...is Boilerman willing to sell his Slick Chick?
Quoted from Rat_Tomago:Where are you Boilerman?!?!?!?
Probably hanging with Chris, another MIA.
My Atlantis has a Webb repro backglass. It had a beautiful original one, but the Webb one looks better and pops 10x more IMHO. I don't know if they are still made, but I honestly think they are an upgrade from the original Gottlieb version.

Ron Webb just announced recently that he will be doing another run of Atlantis.

Hey gearhead,
I just played the WOZ's that were set up at EXPO. Pretty cool game with that LCD screen. How do you like yours? Even though I'm an em guy I like to try new things when the opportunity presents itself.

Check arrives next week and it is spent thanks to boilerman, Bob Borden in Pennsylvania and my wife wanting new flooring in the living room. Just wait a few weeks and I will start a new thread with me holding a cup of coffee and giving the thumbs up. Two new pins in one day...I can't wait! I have wanted both of these pins for 15 years.

I share your enthusiasm!

In 6 months I hope to be saying the same thing with a couple Gottlieb Wedgeheads. 
Way to go Rat!
Ken
