Calling all Bay Area Pinheads!
I just got a call from the shipping company that my Medieval Madness Remake is scheduled for delivery tomorrow between 10am-2pm! While awesome news, it is quite unexpected and unprepared for. I thought I would have a bit more heads-up to enlist some help to offload it, get it in my place, and set it up.
Unfortunately, all the folks who I had lined up to help me out are either tied up tomorrow or inconveniently(for me) out of town. I could try to reschedule for next week, but my work week is pretty full and I really don't know if I can take any time off right now.
So I figured I would try here to see if anybody might be interested in helping a fellow Pinsider out for a few hours while we wait the arrival of my new MMR. Once we get it off the truck and onto my cart, it's an easy shot to my condo via an easy access elevator to the second floor, straight in and through to the back, no stairs or obstacles. Then it's just setting up as usual. I just don't want to risk having no help from the single driver and trying to navigate the thing all by myself.
I can't offer much other than a chance to see and play a brand new MMR, plus a very nice ST:Pro while your at it.
I'm located in Richmond, down by the marina off i-580>Marina Bay Pkwy. if you know where that area is.
Please PM me asap if you are able to help, otherwise I'll have to call to try and arrange another delivery time.
I welcome as many as want to come out(within reason), but keep in mind that I actually still have to work tomorrow. Normally I'm due in at 2:30p in the city, so depending on when the delivery actually gets here if this happens, there may not be too much time to hang around and play. I may be able to fudge this a bit, but I will have to see what I can get away with. Hopefully the earlier the delivery the better.

Damn! Wish I was around to help. I live so close by!
No worries. So far no other hits. I know short notice is hard and people may not be reading the forums much right now. Think I'm just gonna have to call and reschedule before it gets to late in the day.
Edit: OK just rescheduled for Monday same time. Should be OK on help but I'll leave the invitation open. Don't have to work that day either.

Hi guys,
I just put my Flash Gordon on location at Phoenix Games in Concord. Per the Pin Map it's the only one on location in CA! Shopping it took forever and I'm proud to save that it now plays tight and right and wicked fast due to the strong flippers and clear coated playfield. It's just one of 15 great pins on location there. It's an excellent pinball destination.
p.s. Good luck beating my High Score of 3.3M. I was in the zone!

Nice! We need more hard to find games on location!
Quoted from jfesler:15 games? Wow. I haven't been there since they moved. Sounds like it might be worth a trip.
Yep. Much bigger and better than the old spot. There's a row of classic arcades as well. We are spoiled out here.

Dropped a couple bucks in quarters into this today. Played and looked great. Played kiss for the first time. Sucked at it but got a love gun mb and put up 8mil.
Met a pinhead from the east bay league. Didn't get his name but a nice guy.
This is a great location with a nice selection.
I love Phoenix Games. They have a great selection of pins and the staff is super friendly. Chris was very helpful and gave me some good advice when I was searching for my Metallica. I will check out your Flash next time I'm there if I can get my son off the Godzilla!
Thanks for the interest on my Metallica "Master of Puppets" LE #156.
It went to a pinhead who has 5 great (now 6) pins.
Quoted from johnnyutah:My 5 year old all over the Godzilla at Pheonix Games.
Awesome picture! We were just there an hour ago to put some time on NorCal's Flash Gordon. That game is f&%#ing brutal! LOL

I see you got my buddy Rich in one of your pics. Recognize a few people there. I need to go to leaugue one of these days some good people.
Looking for a Star Trek LE or Premium. Wife says "Make it so."
Starting with the California threads for a cash-n-carry deal.
Got to help PWhiz set up his MMR today. Game looks super nice, and I thought it played really smooth. Pretty much ready to go out the box with no adjustments. If you are waiting for one I don't think you will be disappointed.
Quoted from PWhiz:^Nice choice, you'll love it! I've got a heavily modded Pro and I don't plan on selling it anytime soon(if ever ).
This guy ain't lying! I think there are more mods than actual game! Nicest STpro I have seen by far.
Quoted from jfesler:Agreed. Anyone in the south bay that wants to check one out is welcome to PM me.

^^^^ and this is a good guy, will vouch for him.
Quoted from PWhiz:Thanks Steve! Again, it was great having you over and helping me setup my new MMR.
You're going to have to have me back over, I only got to play one game! And I meant it when you and your buddy should come by sometime and play my pins.
T2 for sale in the central valley.

$1300 in Manteca.
Quoted from practicalsteve:You're going to have to have me back over, I only got to play one game! And I meant it when you and your buddy should come by sometime and play my pins.
Definitely! I didn't think I would have a couple of monster games there , but yeah next time no work, just play.
BTW, just got home from work and had another great game and put up a new GC score. Also completed a Royal Madness for the first time in that game. What a rush! 
Any NorCal folks open to host a tournament at your place? I always love playing at people's places to see what they've got etc. I know it's a lot to ask to open your home up to folks but let me know if any folks are open to it!
Quoted from nvu4prod:Thanks Steve! When ever your in the South Bay, the door is always open!!
Nick
Been wanting to do that FOREVER at this point!

Sure. PM me.
A bit off track from a pinball search, but figured I'd post here since I know some of you local guys are into arcade games too: Trying to find a nice original Atari Food Fight arcade game. Anyone have one or know of one for sale? Thanks.
You can try your local glass companies...they just need dimensions and tell them it's tempered glass. I checked a year or two ago and it was a little high, but not horrible.

Ya, did that. $60 each, hard to swallow when ba amusements sells them for $25
You buying just one, or a bulk order? Did they know the quantity? Maybe that'll help bring the price in.
Might also be worth calling down to Sacramento area glass shops - bigger market, more competition, etc.
Quoted from frogman70:We're can i get the best price for pinball glass in Sac or BA now that ba amusements moved to NV?
Isn't Reno closer to you than Sacramento?
Make a day trip. Stop at cabelas/schills and pick up glass.
There are also some good location pinball spots there.
