    Quoted from daley:

    Looking to see if I can acquire a nice White Water before mother's day for my wife. Any one have one they are looking to sell in Nor Cal?

    There is currently a Wh2o on CL.

    Yes, that is a fall back possibility, however I would not classify it as nice nor that the price matches what your getting. There is a reason it has been sitting on craigslist for a couple weeks. I am willing to spend that much or more, if the condition matches the price.

    My wife and I just had our first child this month, and White Water is her favorite game. I want to get one that is in nice condition that I can just setup in the game room and surprise her, as opposed to something that needs me to spend a couple days cleaning up/restoring.

    Given how every single picture makes sure to not show the topper, I would guess that it is missing from the game. You might be able to get the seller down 800 or so if it is. The price is high, but not surprising given that it is here.

    I have already checked, the topper is missing. As I said, it is a fallback. But I figured it was worth checking in with my fellow pinsiders, because if someone has a nice example they are willing to part with, then i would much rather do business with a pinsider.

    The one on CL does not have a topper, the cabinet is all beat up and there are wear spots on the playfield. The mountains have some weird holes drilled into it and the yetti has homemade plastic protecting it.

    Well with it being my first machine i'm after something that doesn't have to be perfect but is in good playing condition. I wouldn't mind having to do say LED upgrades or a few minor repairs but nothing major. Looking to stay around $2000-$3000. Probably a 90's and newer DMD game.

    A great way to meet alot of locals is to come to sparkys BBQ Saturday at 12 noon. It's at the tv area just outside of the main building. Also, look for pinside I'd badges that practical Steve has made. Any time you see one on a person walk up say hi and introduce yourself.

    There is a league in folsom the meets bi-monthly and also a league in the lodi/Woodbridge area that meets on the opposite weeks as the folsom league. There is a third league that meets in and around vacaville. All three are great ways to meet people in the community. All great people. All willing to help someone new to the hobby. And may I say, all have great collections.

    I would start there. League is truly what brought me back into this hobby. The fellowship is outstanding and you get to test run games you may have never even thought of playing.

    I know from talking with you that you have heard of Pin a go go and plan to attend. This is one of the best showings of the amazing community in the hobby.

    Yuba city is a bit if a drive to me here in woodbidge, but my house is always open to those seeking the silver ball. You are more than welcome here brother.

    Let me extend my hand and welcome you to the hobby!

    I'll personally be at PaGG all weekend long. Come join us for some 4 player games. I'll have my badge on with my screen name and avatar.

    Nice one. If this is one of John Tennler's games, he usually has really nice machines. In general on the expensive side, but for once it looks like the price was right.

    It was and I agree. Very nice guy. I've never bought from him before due to high prices, but for some reason this one was priced to sell.

    Note to self - chrome trim looks great until people start touching it. Fingerprints galore!

    That is almost how it went. I believe I was the last SPG person to own it.

    Elvira's Secret slot machine $1500

    Wheel of Fortune slot machine $5000 (yes. the real deal.)

    #3985 7 years ago

    I spent most of Saturday at PAGG 2016 with my wife. I missed last year. We played lots of machines, very fun. We decided afterwards (bad timing), to get another pin. My HS and PB currently reside in our "TV room/home theater" with movie posters and popcorn machine etc.
    Looking to relocate current pins to another room, and get something with a TV show/movie theme. So we are looking for something for sale within a few hours drive of the Sacramento area.
    I don't mind anything that needs work, just hoping for a nice cabinet and playfield.
    Please PM me if you have a pin or know of one that would like a nice new home.
    I also posted in pagg 2016, just covering my bases.
    Thanks

    Just to piggyback, it is the same guy with the game show. But the game show is not for sale right now. I have seen this twister and if memory serves is in pretty good shape!

    #3993 7 years ago

    I have played the twister you speak of. yes, it is in very nice shape.

    Anyone know of any good location pinball in the San Ramon/Dublin area? I just moved to the area a few months ago, and have not seen one single pinball on location in the area. I know there's Phoenix games in Concord, but I'd like to find something closer to home for the occasional quick pinball itch.

    #3998 7 years ago

    pinballmap.com or pinmap on this site.

    #3999 7 years ago

    Thanks. Yeah, checked both of those resources already, with no luck. Was hoping maybe there were some unreported pins that anyone here might know about. All good.

    #4000 7 years ago

    Work kept me away from the 1500 Popeye on cl, never heard back from the seller. Anyone here happen to grab it?
