Here's some pics. If interested further, shoot me a PM. Plays super-fast, outlanes are wide open, tight tilt, have still managed to double Casino Run in one game, but only ever got Mega Visor once. Early production, pinbot type locks, colored arrows inserts, purple/blue ramp sign plastic. Code updated to latest version.

Full cointaker LEDs (not flashers IIRC... it's plenty damn bright.)
Goodie bag.
Very low fade.
Laseriffic Topper

_{Post edited by Frax: change to just for sale}

DE Time Machine is awesome. Sold one to my mom's husband. They play the crap out of it. I offered to buy it back for what I sold it to him for over a year ago and he declined LOL!

Just wanted to update this real quick, in case anyone finds it using search. Jackbot is off the market as of today. Had a buyer all lined up and I went to start packing it up and decided I can't get rid of it yet. =| If I do anything with it at this point, will likely be a temp trade involving that buyer, so yeah....off the market.

Funny how fast things change...due to my recent suprise Congo acquisition, this needs to go again.

/facepalm. thought I posted that. 2000.

Actually, need a sale right now, not a trade. We are way over full up now.

Trust me, if there was any other way, I would keep it. We are ungodly tight on space, we're really about 2-3 pins over what we should have. Tron and Metallica absolutely will not go anywhere. Jackbot is mine, STTNG is my wife's, and it was my decision to buy Congo, so it's pretty much mine, unless it turns into one of those games we just both can't get rid of.

I have a feeling that Hang Glider is going to be a very soon casualty as well.

Price update bump. Meant to change this a while ago and forgot.

Sadly, that score is gone, as I replaced the ROMs with the latest version of code, as I was holding an IFPA tournament, so felt it was more fair to have the code everyone really knows on the game.

Still have the 0.4a or b or whatever code chips, as it hasn't been ripped and posted anywhere as far as I can tell....really need to get this code revision archived and sent to IPDB.

Substantial, IMO.

For one, on the prelim code, you can't cheat-kill a bomb in Casino Run. All you can do is hope you get a water bucket to protect you against an errant bomb. You cannot score the "lock two eyes at once" for multiple jackpots in the early code either. There's also a LOT of animations and callouts that aren't used in the early code.. the shuttle animation for the jackpots is completely not there if I'm not mistaken, and several of the light shows and jackpot lights are different. You can't double-flip out of the casino run start animation or multiball start on the early code, which can be a little tedious if the game is set up easy and you get those a lot.

That price is truly ridiculous....nearly 3k for a fire..good luck to that one!

Okay, for the record of yourself and anyone else that has sent or considering sending me PM's that is not local:

Shipping is your responsibility, financially. My contribution as far as that goes is prepping the machine properly (and you -will- pay for materials for me to do so, usually in the neighborhood of 50 bucks.) I am not cutting people deals so they can afford shipping. This game is costing me 40 bucks a month right now because not selling it means I can't use the money to pay off something else. I'd rather be rid of my debt, but it's by no means crippling me to not sell this game.

Just figured I'd get that out in the open, because several people have asked. If you want a discount, that's on you. The price listed...is the price. Shipping is not part of my offer...it never was, and never will be. I would vastly prefer someone pick up this game in person, because I don't trust the shipping companies, but if you're absolutely insistent, I will properly wrap it up, on legs. I will not pay part or all of your shipping bill, and I'm not going to take a few hundred dollars less and drive it somewhere either.

D'uh...why?

You want to pay 1600 for it, or make an offer I might actually consider outside of an emergency that means I have to sell something RIGHT NOW, then you can at least be arsed to drive up here for it Brandon. I already ate the shipping on this game one time. I'm not going to do it again. You want a 250 buck discount, on top of what I ALREADY took off the game, which was reasonable for the condition, and WAY WAY WAY under what I paid GAP for it.

I don't understand what your whole issue is with traveling to get a game, and frankly, it's not my concern. I already delivered you one game to make a deal happen before, and I'm not real anxious to waste 6 hours of my time and 90 bucks of gas again just for the benefit of your convenience and give you a "deal." You don't get it both ways.

So to put it bluntly: I urge you to take the responsibility of moving a game yourself, not on everyone else. I am more than willing to work with someone on times to meet up for people to pick up games. If you wanted it that bad...come and get it, but you specifically told me in PM that you don't even really want this game, you'd rather have a classic solid state, so I don't get why the hell you're even posting that, honestly.

There's no glass in it. Neither did it "fall out of a truck", and any issues with inserts are shown to anyone interested. So go pound sand!

If you want to joke with me about something, better be more clear about it, because "I urge you to re-think this." has no hint of humor to it. Not in the mood to put up with bullshit today, and you're really full of it saying that after lowballing and wanting me to transport it to you...

Which was fine, until the comment above. I specifically told you I might consider it if I had some kind of emergency and had to sell it. That was not a joke, that was a literal statement. Sorry if you thought it was some kind of joke and were under the impression that I was more receptive to your offer.

Just trying to cut a few heads off the hydra here, because I keep getting requests like "What's your lowest price" and "shipping is killing the deal" and of course, your offer.. it's a bit old hat at this point, so I decided to get out in front of it. It's a waste of my time, and for people to ask. There's no "shipping discount"...I'm not Captain Neo, trying to make a 95k sale. If you don't want the game for the price listed, then fantastic...don't ask. This wasn't an OBO post and I'm not soliciting bids. Everyone bitches about that here, and then when people DO post an actual price, we get threads like this, go figure.

For anyone interested in the history of this machine, here is the link where I asked how to clean up glass:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/anyone-got-tips-for-cleaning-up-exploded-pf-glass-out-of-your-game#post-1447864

Yes, the game was dumped off a PALLET, not a TRUCK, by R&L in their warehouse. Yes, I have pictures of what it looked like when we picked it up. Yes, I cleaned the glass out of the game. EXTREMELY THOROUGLY, and no, no glass has been seen in this game for damn close to a year now, since I took it to Texas Pinball Festival last year and not a single person said anything other than it looked amazing.

Yes, there is currently a credit dot, something with the trough switch, that I'm about to look into as soon as I stop wasting my time with this ridiculous post. Yes, there is damage under the front right leg that is completely hidden by pincabs and the leg. Yes, there is one ply that is cracked in the back by the power cord. Yes, there is some light ghosting on the multiplier inserts, and yes, I did a repair on one of them that was the most ghosted with UV-reactive resin that looks much better than it did. No, I have not attempted to fix the other 3 inserts because they were nowhere near as bad, and I did not want to even risk making it worse.

Yes, the game is going to TPF this year if it's not sold by then. No, I don't give a flying f--k if I don't have to sell it for less than 1850 by then or not. And no....I don't have anything to hide about this machine, or anything else here.

*Edit* 7:35 PM CST Credit dot is fixed. Game said trough switch #2 was the issue, tested in software test, works fine, credit dot gone.

If it wasn't 1850 it didn't matter anyways. PM Sent in regards to what you posted, then deleted.

LMFAO..

The fact that you don't even get the difference between lowballing and asking for a lower price due to boards being completely corroded due to acid....yeah. I'm totally sure that you're going to go pick up two games that both have completely dead CPU's covered in battery corrosion that you were told were working and then not ask for at least half the money to cover replacing them, right?

Fading issues...okay. Find me a Jackbot with less fade in this price range. Good luck with that. I really don't care at this point if it sells at all or not. I've done plenty of deals with people, BTW included, that had no problem. Wish I could find his exact post where he stated that I probably said TOO much about the condition of a game when selling it. That would be fun to link in here...

If you have a problem with me, please don't buy from me, even if you're tempted to "make an offer." I'm not that desparate to sell it, I don't need your drama. The condition of the machine will be made perfectly clear before anyone ever lays out a single cent my way, and pretty much everyone in Dallas/Ft. Worth has seen this game in person that is in the D/FW Pinball and Arcade facebook group, and as stated, was at TPF last year as well. So plenty of external references there.

Do what ya want.

Because my opinion on it is likely biased, I can ask the guys that were here to post on your thread if you want. I wasn't quite sure how to address it and remove my bias at the same time...we were pretty busy that evening. The real short of it was the three people I asked about it specifically did not have major issues with it. It WAS said that the ball was hopping off the bank, like my bank may be 1mm or 2mm too low, so that might explain why it locks balls better. Obviously I'm going to correct that as I don't want undue playfield wear from the ball hitting the edge of the playfield, but that slowdown on the ball going up to the lock area would certainly explain why my game is an aberration from what other people have experienced with the locks.

For the record, I HAD this game sold to Retrotilt before, and I backed out of it before we found Congo...I wanted to keep it! He bought another pin right after that, got a good deal on it. Super nice dude, and his pins are amazing as well...I promise you will never play a Hurricane or Game Show that are as fast as his are.

His offer was not 1600. It was 1600 *delivered*, which when you factor in my time and gas to take a day not working to go down to Austin, is 1260. And I don't get paid very much so it's not like my time is worth 75/hour, even with overtime. I told him that if I took his offer I would be doing my best to find some other reason to be down there at the same time... I can't go down there just to sell a pin at a cheap price for any other reason than an emergency...it's just not going to happen.

I'll let you know sometime around HAAG next year.

Maybe you could throw in some earplugs for me...hear the DJ is kinda loud.
