As you already know B_R, we're all set up for Monday. I'm gettin' all tingly inside...
I think B R should post a step by step processing of how he preps a pin for shipping and then call it "The Industry Standard"

Not Professionally Done by No mean's,, But It Took me about 2 1/2 hr's to get it ready.. What would be Great is to have a link in the Sticky's ,, " Wanna a Pin Ship'd , Look Here ".. and have jsandjs or
Leeb18509 add some of their Killer Contact Info.. $ 250.00 to $ 285.00 to ship a Pin across the USA ,, Me , shanetastic and other's I know WILL have Pin's 4-sale in the NEAR Future..
You know I live about halfway between where its coming from and where its headed....if you need someone to check on it halfway and make it sure it still plays ok-Im your man.
Sweet! Thanks a ton. Can't wait to get 'er set up and going. Looks great on the pallet too.
I did find this link when searching about shipping.
http://www.ehow.com/how_5787666_ship-pinball-machine.html Seems pretty in-depth.
Also, I used coinopshippers.com for the rate quote. Met the guy here locally that runs it. If this gets around too much, NAVL might have to retool their business model.

Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:Thanks for the info lee. Glad to see you shipping more and more BR and helping pinsiders with their addiction!
No Problem bro,, i like yr other avitar pict- better.. The Cool Dude !!
Quoted from spfxted:Cigars should be coming your way!
A 5-Pack of Hava Tampa would be ok !!!
Alright kiddies. Update time. The Getaway HS2 is in the HOUSE! (ok, the garage) Holy Crapstick, this thing is so nice I don't know what to say. Packed up perfectly, and believe me I think if you don't the shippers will make you pay. The running start to get the pallet jack over the lip on my driveway made my curlies uncurl. Ouch!
Anyway, I unwrapped her and couldn't help it. Had to plug it in and try it. So I played a few games on one knee in my garage. The cleanest, tightest pinball machine I've played yet. Even the slingshots feel like their on steriods. Lights, sound, all terrific. I'll get it in my gameroom and take some pictures later.
Thanks to Shane, B_R, and Jeff from www.coinopshippers.com for everything. This weekend is going to be fun.
P.S. BTW, the final bill was $287.25 for a 2059 mile trip. 7 days total, door to door. I think that opens up a whole new avenue to buy pins. (Of course, Shane helped a lot with the great deal. Heh)

Wow, that is good to know! B_R is going to be a huge distribution center for Pins traveling coast to coast.
Getaway survived the backbox removal and reinstall so now it's in the basement. I'm getting pretty good at that I have to say. Couple of hours to remove and hook it all back up. Always nerve wracking though.
Pics soon....g,night all
just scored 252 million tonight damn that was a challenge! best game before that was 99 million. everything must have fell into place tonight!
Nah, this pin is dialed in so tight it almost plays itself. I had some multi-ball free ride going for 5 minutes I think. Thought the flipper coils were gonna burn up!
Quoted from Leeb18509:Thought the flipper coils were gonna burn up!
No worries. They are all new!!! Should last you a while
Quoted from Leeb18509:Nah, this pin is dialed in so tight it almost plays itself.
So maybe I am not as good of a player as I thought... just good at making the machine play good.
I almost cracked a billion on mine just before I sold it, I remember watching the bonus countdown, and I was like 20000 away or something. Was so pissed!
I sold it about 2 years ago or so, and I just go an email the other day from the new owner. They want me to come fix/shop it. Should be simple, and will make a bit of cash or beers
Beer is a must if you are pulling a 12 hr day 3 days in a row shopping one.. But make sure to get the complicated stuff during the first 6 drinks or so... I start to get a little sloppy after that. I found out that 110v sucks!
nice i have 1 newer flipper coil the other looks stock, i should replaced it and i am sure it would help. the left side one seems to stick as well like the spring might not have enough tension anymore
Usually no reason to replace a coil...just saying..unless the wrong coil is installed or something...
Look at what's in a flipper rebuild kit, that's the stuff you usually need to replace. Linkage, sleeve, etc...
I understand....but I just can't help myself. I must at all cost replace everything. It is just my thing. Makes me certain that I am getting every little bit of power out of the coil, and every bit out of the game. Like my TZ. Hell, I was already in $4000... Why not spend another $1000 to make it the best it could be (at least in my mind...and really that is all that matters to the ShaneTastic.) Oh no... Now you have me talking in the third person. This is not good. The last time this happened, I bought a pinball machine.
I guess I am just weird or something. I would have to have matching coils. I would go into some sort of obsessive compulsive fit if I had two different aged flipper coils. You guys think you have the pinball sickness.... You just have a mild pinball cold compared to my insanity.
Quoted from SealClubber:No problem shane. Just send me your old working coils. I have no problem using them.
I threw them all away. Again, part of the insanity. I don't want any of that old crap cluttering my house. There is no cure for this sickness. Trust me.
This is why I told Shane I'd pretty much buy any pin he had for sale if it was a title I was interested in.
hey what color flasher gi bulbs do you have in the machine???
also do you happen to know the bulb size for the cherry ontop? trying to mod my led's on my hs2 a little more it came with the led's and like the look of your color scheme.
Quoted from SealClubber:No problem shane. Just send me your old working coils. I have no problem using them.
A Coil that makes the Sleve so Tight you have to Cut the Old 1 out with a hammer and small Flat Head screw driver,, and a new coil sleve has to be Hammered back in, I say , That coil Is Warped !!
I have hammered New sleves back in , Only if i Didn't have Replacement coil's..
So Lee, If you see this Thread, What's Yr Highest Score on HS2 now ? B_R
