Time Warp
Williams, 1979Hi!
I am new to pinball and new to the site! This is a very cool website.
I just bought my first pinball too! I ended up scoring a Williams Time Warp from Craigslist for $1200. I negotiated the guy down from 1800. What a great hobby, I cannot wait to get this thing up and running.
Thanks! I used to play alot when I was a kid, and I always wanted one. Now I can't stop looking on the internet for another.
Thank you. Sorry, I am pretty new and I dont know if they are special flippers, i think my machine has the regular ones since one has a DE stamped on it. I actually need to buy another since my machine is missing one. The guy said it was an easy / cheap fix. Where is the best place to get another flipper?

Wow! Marcos has alot of parts! I also need to buy 3 pop bumper lids for my game. There are a few other parts missing, but that is what I used for negotiating. Do you guys know where I can find the pop bumper lids and a new speaker since my sound does not work. The previous owner said that i needed to put in a new speaker for the sounds to work. I cannot wait!
Time Warp originally came with curved, banana shaped flippers.
You can replace those with regular straight ones. Some people hate the curved ones, I like them.
The curved ones are harder to find as replacements.
Try pinballlife.com or marco specialties.
My advice, being a newbie nine-month machine owner--be patient, there are LOTS of machines out there and like all collectibles, condition is EVERYTHING. I jumped into my second machine--a '65 Williams EM San Francisco--that was a cheap CL find and in hindsight I'm regretting it a bit. I'll likely have as much in the restoration as it's worth and that's not including any of my time . . . I've gathered that's what we do here. 
I've been using The Pinball Resource (www.pbresource.com) for my parts and they've been very helpful and patient. You will likely find that there's not a single source who offers everything you may need.
Quoted from John_in_NC:Post something this time next year, I wager you'll have 4 machines.
Only 4? I'll take the over.
