In case you are wondering who Neil Falconer was, he was the person who did the software for this pinball machine and many others and was tragically killed in an auto accident earlier this year:

It's a great place to get a standup arcade machine for super cheap, or a pool table. Just not really any deals to be had on pins. I also heard they encourage the sellers to to bid on their own machines to drive up the price to where they want it.
Quoted from xbloodgreenx:Good luck getting a pin for a good price at Captain's....it's a good place to sell one, not buy.
Hm...maybe I should bring something lol

ha, are we going?
Quoted from ENDOFLINE:greg... bring the spidey
....straight to your house? Hehe.
Do you still have a pin budget after your mad tear?
Quoted from ButtonMash:the Frankenstein they have listed also says it's a prototype...anyone know anything about that?
Someone posted about it here or on RGP or something a few weeks ago. Looks like it was developed as a DE before DE switched to Sega. It seems to make sense that it was also Neil's game.

game any good? And how is it rare when 3,000 where produced?

It's rare cuz it has the DE logo on the cabinet. Frank normally has a Sega logo.

Quoted from twinmice:I agree, especially when he has his own guys bidding against you.

Thanks for the heads up! I was going to make the 8 hour round trip to check it out, but if it's not on the up and up.... I'm tapping out.
Quoted from B8nkr:Unfortunately, that's how 99.9% of all auctions work.
I disagree. I've gotten some amazing goodies for cheap at auctions in the area. (Not pinball)
