    Quoted from Kerry_Richard:

    Hello NorCal Pinheads...
    Do you have a good source for powder coating the pinball metal armor: legs, lockbar, backbox hinge/plate, glass side rails, coin door, bolts etc.?
    Let me know.
    Thanks!
    Kerry Richard

    I use RGB in Lake of the Pines, near Auburn. Cost around 250.00 for legs, rails, ball rails, coin door and hinges:

    Those are not mine. Too flamboyant. I'm curious which pin they ended up on as well.

    not Time Fantasy, that goes to a dmd game. And if I ever try and put that on my TF you have my permission to have me put out of my misery!

    #6459 3 years ago

    Someone in another thread commented that they were pretty sure that hardware was for a TMNT. Which makes sense as its the turtle colors.

    #6460 3 years ago

    FYI: I just listed my Stern JP Premier in the classified ads. It's a perfect machine, perfect playfield, a couple of updates, (Speakers updated and Amber shooter and Custom Tower Roof) located in the east-bay. Contact me for more information or pictures.

    Hello everyone, I’m considering selling my mint condition low plays (200s’) Batman 66 Premium.

    Please let me know if you’re interested. I’ll possibly except trades for certain pins +- cash

    I’ll add photos after I get home from work.

    Check my feedback.

    Feel free to message me.

    #6464 3 years ago

    Mint, thank you.

    What is your a$k for Batman?

    #6466 3 years ago

    Wondering if anyone local might be interested (or can direct me to someone who might have interest) in taking on a playfield touchup/clear coat project on part of my ToM. A friend has the game in Sacramento and has shopped it for me, but you can see the issue with the Levitating Woman insert missing color at the top and the Spirt Cards insert with a mark on it as well. The Levitating Woman insert blistered through the mylar. I've been told the entire insert likely needs to be sanded down, then have a waterslide decal of the whole thing made, then covered and filled with UV resin till it’s even with the mylar. Any thoughts on someone local who might be willing to take this on? I'd pay for time and efforts, of course. Feel free to send me a PM. This is really the only cosmetic issue with the game. It's otherwise in great shape. Thanks in advance for any guidance on this.

    Not quite the approach you’d want to take. Filling resin in with mylar still in place is likely to turn ugly in a worse way with time. To fix it properly, you’re going to want to take off ALL of the Mylar. Fingers crossed that you get away with removing the mylar without inflicting further harm. Then lock it all down with a layer of 2pac. Sand flat then do your touch ups/water slide decals. Then lock it all in with 2pac again. Usually this layer of 2pac will settle a bit around edges. Sand flat again. One more layer of 2pac, sand, polish and repopulate.

    Given how small your issue is and how much work a proper repair is, I’d leave it alone.

    Thanks for the reply. I definitely don’t want to risk ruining the whole playfield.

    No problem. Sometimes it’s better not to clean that little spot on the kitchen ceiling if you’re not going to repaint the whole room, ya know?

    Anyone going to be heading down south near Upland and then back up to the Bay Area in the coming weeks who might have room for an arcade game? I’d certainly chip in for gas and efforts. Thanks.

    #6472 3 years ago

    I am in the Sonoma County area, I need to make room so selling a few games... everything works.. Twilight Zone (lots of new parts, coils and flippers all rebuilt, clean, new clock enclosure, color balls, lighted gumball, upper pf magnets works great, faded cabinet), Star Trek next generation (shoots perfect, color dmd, led full upgrade, exceptional cabinet art and overall condition, game is a 9 out of 10, I’m pretty sure it has hd glass from the looks but could never verify it), Star Wars pro (mint huo with mods), and have 9.5 out of 10 restored no fear $3500 listed here (led with mods). I’ll come back to post prices when I have thought about it but let me know if you’re interested.

    Added over 3 years ago:

    Twilight Zone is gone. I have a mint huo star wars $5300 or trade for TMNT or other modern stern. Will add for Premiums. Selling the STTNG with a nice all original cabinet, really nice playfield, IMO 9.5 out of 10 can send very detailed pics. $5600 with color dmd.

    #6473 3 years ago

    I forgot to add that I also would be interested in TMNT premium or Star Trek Premium or LE for trades.

    #6474 3 years ago

    Greetings all! Doing some cleaning and sorting in the garage, have some stuff to get rid of for cheap. 20$ each part with the exception of 80$ for the brand new Whirlwind topper. Game parts came out of working games and are in playable condition (but were replaced anyway during playfield swaps). Socially distanced outdoor meet up in San Jose, DM me!

    Taxi: Used ramps, topper
    Whirlwind: Brand new topper in blue with decals
    WCS94: Wireform ramp. A bit tarnished, could use refinishing, but works fine.
    Funhouse: main ramp (2x), steps ramp, subway
    TOTAN: complete ramp set, apron
    Sawhorse set - metal with composite wood top
    Ultrasonic cleaner

    I am looking to "trade up" .

    I have a pretty nice The Machine Bride of Pinbot with a playfield swap (new) and new ramps. I also have a nice Black Hole .

    I would like to trade these 2 for a metallica, or star trek pro. I believe I have over $6000 worth of pinball here. Certainly anyone that cares to correct me or price police me, go ahead. It doesn't bother me. I prefer to be absolutely transparent. I also love High Speed, Austin Powers, possibly others.

    #6481 3 years ago

    If anyone is interested I’m considering selling my AIQ premium has shaker motor message me for pics and more info thanks.
