Ah, right down the street! I saw that one somewhere else recently for $4000. It mentioned being HUO but there was flipper button wear. Seemed strange. If someone had it in their home the whole time they must have played the $hit out of it!
Thanks... this merits further research.
Quoted from GoneFishinLvMsg:Apparently I can, and now I've used up my 10 views per day for a guest user. Where is it located?
Quoted from rommy:Chesapeake Va 23320
If you look out your window, you might be able to see it!

Yeah, that is a good price. I paid $2,800 for a routed one and put maybe $200 into it (and a slew of hours). There is extreme wear at my flipper buttons. All is in order though. I would have paid $3,600 for a nice HUO instead, but this is in the past.

I have a LOTR and i play it almost every day since i got it back from my x in the divorce. And when it was at my old house it was not only used by me but my x played also. So you can say yes I play the crap out of it and some people would not guess it was a HUO machine. Not to mention when my x packed it up she did not handle with care...shame on her.

+1 thats a great price
Quoted from sb80:Anybody in Vegas? Heres a HUO at a reasonable price. To far for me.

I am curious if it is easy to tell what year (or "run") this one in Vegas is from. I seem to remember something about a couch upgraded weldment and possibly different side rails? Oh wise one(s), teach me how to tell the difference.
Congrats Fishin! Hopefully you love your TSPP and it stays in your collection a long time.
Quoted from sb80:Fishin, I hope you hate that machine then let me know! I live in central illinois and will gladly take it off your hands if its truly HUO.
Sorry, I like it a lot so far. Just finished LEDing it and installing the Duff Beer and Kang and Kodos mods!
Quoted from GoneFishinLvMsg:Well I brought it home. Rommy, I owe you a 12er of Yuengling if I ever get down that way
Swagger! Das besta! Grats on TSPP. Man you went to work on it fast. I deserve a pic with the new mods and LEDs...
I gotta get everything in tip top shape for the pin party I'm having on the 31st! As of this morning a Dr. Who wobble head kit is on its way too!
I'll get my girlfriend to take some updated pics of the game room the next time she is over. She has a much nicer camera than I do. My crappy walmart special doesn't take very good pin pics.
Here is Kang and Kodos idea he got from me

Great score BTW! love my TSPP
Actually I got the idea (and pin and parts) from Jaime, who got the idea from you. It does look good. I like the green flasher cap you used too. I put a green LED in there and green LEDs in the nuke towers. It looks, uh, very radioactive!

Cool idea I might try a LED in my flasher. I have the multicolor LED in the towers
1 week later
I really want a TSPP some day!
Maybe I'm missing something, how are Kang and Kodos attached?
Those that have LED'd, have you just done the inserts? What type of LED's did you use? Do you think it looks a lot better (worth it)?
I've been kicking around adding LED's for a while, I'm just not sure it's a game that would really benefit from the addition.
I used a wire from a coat hanger to attach them.
I used the Cointaker superbright non-ghosting kit for the inserts and flashers and I did not LED any GI or the backbox. There were a couple of inserts on the upper playfield that did not look right with LEDs, so I left the incandescents in. Yes, I think it looks a lot better.
