Terminator 2 was the first game I bought back in 2011 and the one that started my pinball insanity. I always regretted selling it. Today I made a deal with a guy to get another T2. Though it wasn’t another T2... it’s the very same game I originally bought. I recognize all of the work and mods I put in. Should have never doubted when he said “I’ll be back”. Welcome home Arnie.

Yep, I’ve done that with 4 or 5 pins. Congrats!

How much more did it cost you the second time?

Oh gosh, it’s almost embarrassing. I think I only charged Acedanger like 1300 (which is what paid I think). Today it cost me $2100 and an EM project game. I probably overpaid but something was telling me to go for this game.

It’s fun to look over the game and see so much of the stuff just how I left it. Now it’s been around the block so much it needs another shop job and flipper rebuild. But it plays just like I remember.

Don’t let it go again!! I’ve always enjoyed T2, wouldn’t mind adding one to my collection.

Wow, great work Gabe! Yeah, this one is going on my regrets pile... along with Dirty Harry, No Fear, my first Doctor Who and basically any awesome condition B/W pin from the 90s that I’ve owned and let go. Keep me in mind if you tire of it.. even if it’s 10 year from now.

This is why I refuse to ever sell Creature or NBA Fastbreak.

Probably a good 6 years!

It’s funny how much has stayed the same. I remember installing all the LEDs just how they are now. Like red flex I put under the center target bank that I pointed to the back of the cabinet so they wouldn’t blind me. The undercabinet lighting I installed underneath is still there and partially working... some of them are blown out from dragging in and out of vehicles.i used to have a T1000 cop mod with a spotlight I installed lighting him up. The figure is gone but the spotlight is still there pointing at nothing lol.

It's always fun to see my previously owned games for sale. A lot of the time nothing has changed except the price.
I bought a Surf n Safari about two years ago for 1200. Sold it for 1600 fixed up. It's now sitting on a retailers floor in Pittsburgh for 2250.
