How about this for a free machine? Found out through a coworker that it was sitting in the basement of an old pond house near me. Owner said take it, it had been sitting back there for a least 15 years and came with the property when he bought it. It's complete. Just dirty. Boards are clean with no battery damage or burned components. My first Bally, should be interesting learning how they work. Anyone else ever snagged a pin for free?
Quoted from transprtr4u:If your going to get a free pin ... This is a good one , looks like its great shape... Would not mind seeing a playfield pic.
Nice grab ... Wish it was me!
Here ya go. It's all there, just dirty. Don't see any cracked plastics or major wear spots.
20220327_093543 (resized).jpgQuoted from SantaEatsCheese:I've gotten 2 free pins to date. One was an unexpected bonus from a pinhead boss at work. (story here) https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/stern-star-trek-pro-vs-jurassic-park-at-same-price The other was a Space Shuttle Project I got for free. I went to pick up an El Dorado off of Facebook for my first E.M. pin. Got to the place and as I'm moving the pin out I notice a pin under a tarp under the deck. What's that? O, that's an old pin I couldn't get to work... How much? I was going to just take it to the dump... it's yours if you want it.
The space shuttle was complete but too heavy of a project for me. Sold it cheap but kept it out of the dump.[quoted image][quoted image]
Dang that AFM is beautiful
Quoted from grantopia:Not free, but I also got my dust covered Mousin out of a basement for $500 bucks! Great game...the art and music alone make it a keeper for me. Awesome score!
I think for now I'm gonna clean it up and wrap it up for storage, Im restoring a MGOW right now and have a Gold Wings to do after that. Then I'll get to Mousin Around.
Quoted from Pinstein:I hope you bought him a case of beer.
He wouldn't take anything for it. I wanted to pay him for it. The man that bought the property just sold a 500 million dollar company so I don't think he was worried about getting paid for it.
