I'm looking for a HUO Metallica pro.
What is with this GAP (Great American Pinball) on prices? They are out of Chicago area. Every time I see a GAP machine listed it's price is ridiculously high? Check this out...

For this price, you would think they could have included a color LCD at the very least! 
Quoted from JeffF:Just wanted to say after 3 or 4 years of owning a Metallica Pro I still tingle when I play this game!
That is all.
It's the same with my Star Trek Pro! 
I enjoyed Metallica Pro big time at the local coin op. Then they got rid of it because younger crowd didn't care for the theme he said. I was bumbed. So now I'll buy my own!
Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:[quoted image]
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just looking at this one! Congrats!! It's awesome!
Quoted from Who-Dey:Man hes going for the kill with that price isnt he?
And some guy down thumbs my post above for mentioning it?? LOL!
Quoted from Dee-Bow:You got downvoted for price policing. If you don't want it..don't buy it. No need to come in here shitting on someone's market place add! Probably something to do with that "less than" sign beside how many years you've been part of the pinside community!
Policing??
You're right! He should have asked for...

After all... It's a GAP! 
And I've been involved with pinball for years and on other sites! So your remark about my time on Pinside amounts to nothing but an ad hominem attack.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:Why put him on blast in here.. take it else where. This thread is for owner's..not wannabe's and their price issues.
"wannabe's"?
Hey pal, take a look. I already own pinball machines and WILL own a Metallica as soon as I find a fair price within a reasonable proximity! I stress the word FAIR.
Even if that game was new with a warranty, I would value it at about maybe $6900.00. He's a thousand over that and that's for New out of box (first owner). Which is why in my original comment I stated that he could have at least included a color LCD for that price. And every ad I see from these guys is like this! If you don't like that I brought it up on a pinball forum, fine. But I think new comers should be informed. Prices are crazy enough now as it is!
Hell yes!
But I recommend the LCD (will require the mounting bracket provided by Color DMD). Costs a little more, but you have more options. I like the Scan mode the best. It's a high resolution mode, but doesn't look flakey like Hires mode. Many people like the Dots XL mode also.
Also, get this black 1" thick foam from amazon for a gasket... It's peel and stick. It keeps out the light from back box and lighted speakers (if you have them).

Quoted from BeeGeeMtl:Thanks for this! I assume this is the one you meant, eh? http://shop.colordmd.com/colordmd-replacement-display-for-metallica-pinball-machine/. Says to purchase "a clear shield and hex standoffs" separately though, whatever that is.
That's the one!
Added over 4 years ago:Just check the option for 'Add Shield/Standoffs for Metal Speaker Panels +$24'
Also there is now a foam gasket available in the accessories section of the store so you don't need to buy the 1" peel & stick black foam from Amazon.
Quoted from BeeGeeMtl:Anyone know where I can get these LED colored light MODS for the 4 bottom items (cross,sparky, coffin, snake). The white lights don't look as AMAZING as these colors, methinks. I know a guy on Pinside used to sell them but I don't think he does anymore. Anysuggestions?[quoted image]
I don't own a Metallica yet, but it's my understanding that the Pro has lights you can change (555 type) but the Prem/LE has PCB led boards. It looks like you have a Pro, so you should just swap out bulbs with colored ones. I would also order this bracket to better position the lights...
Quoted from allsportdvd:I just joined the club with a MOPLE. Can anyone tell me where these go?[quoted image]
Pictures above are original wood speaker panels. Do these fit the new style speaker panel with round holes?
Quoted from Tinnhound:Hey guys, I just picked up an early run Metallica pro that has the snake head with fangs, unfortunatley, someone tried removed the head at some point, and broke the hidden screw mount inside the head. I seen that Marco sells the newer style head without fangs, Should I replace it with that, or is there a better one available from someone else? or does anyone have a good used one available?
Replace with newer head and the fangs are an add on.
Quoted from mattosborn:You could... but the original fangs look better (IMO). I think I’d try my best to fix the original head.
Ya, I never seen a comparison of the two. I didn't know.
