So everyone I work with knows I'm into pinball. My day is about to end when a guy from 2nds comes in and hands me this note.

I give a call to the owner of the games expecting them to be gone. But he still had them and I was first. So another coworker and I went to get them. I owe at least a game to this coworker as he's helped me move more games then we can count. Lol.

Anyways got a Skateball with a bad cpu but has a mylar playfield. Backglass has started to bubble around the surfboard but is real nice. And overall should clean up nice.

Next game is a Bronco. Backglass is near mint. Playfield has some wear and has some issues but does reset and starts a game.

Last game is an Aladdins Castle. Worst of the three. Backglass is great but playfield has a mouse nest so....this game is in the garage until I can clean it out. Plus I need to drill out the lock to get inside it. But...$600 for all three. I can clean it and hopefully the wiring is ok inside. For whatever reason the pictures are out of order. Probably because I'm uploading on my phone. Anyway here they are. Super excited about them.

Inside of bronco. I'm just amazed at how clean it is inside. Even the plastic for the switchs on the relays are nice and bright.

Maybe....I alreay got the bonus stepper working. The count down coil lost a E clip. Bonus was at max and when ball drained it continued to cycle but lights weren't counting down. This game just needs a little bit to be fully working. I still can't believe it. Lol. So I don't know....this one might have to stay.

I'm glad to see a local Pinsider got these pins. Everyone at work knows I'm into pins too, and at 6am yesterday morning a shop guy came into my office and told me he heard about a guy selling 3 pins for $600 on WLEN's classifieds. I said "When did you find out about this?", and he told me 6pm the night before. I said "Ooooo... 12 hours, they're probably gone". He didn't have a phone number, and the pins were not listed on the WLEN classified website anymore, so I wondered where they went. It's cool to see you got them and that they're in nice shape. The Skate Ball with the factory Mylared playfield is excellent. A real beauty there. Congrats!!

Thanks Jeff. Well 2 out of the 3 are in nice shape. Aladdins castle...not so much. Might clean up who knows. Yeah he said he heard it on WLEN sometime Tuesday and gave me the note around 2:30. I really didn't think I had a chance to get them myself. Get in touch with me...be pretty cool to meet another local pinhead.

Well I have Bronco working about 90%. I found the switch that was making player 4 light randomly. Also replaced the E clip for the bonus stepper as I mentioned earlier. Thats about I'll I've done and this game just needs one more thing figured out before I can shop it.

Whenever I start a 1 player game and the ball drains it advances to 2 player and ball 2 is now scoring on player 2. That ball drains and player 3 lights with ball 3 and same onto player 4. But....whenever I start a 4 player game everything works as it should. Player 1 ball 1 drains player 2 ball 1 drains player 3 ball 1 and so on until player 2 ball 5. When it drains the game ends and player 3 and 4 never get ball 5. Its almost like the player unit is off or something??? Driving me crazy and marco doesn't have the schematic in stock for this game. Anyone have an idea of what I'm missing???

Thanks
