    I always read both. Yes, tons of dup posts, but good to get the word out. I only post sale adds in the other one. I always felt it was rundant to do both.

    Quoted from RTS:

    Just for me here in Oregon I don’t normally read the Cali for sale thread. I think it has over 500 posts since the last time I looked at it, but I always watch this thread as I have made the trip to Northern Cali twice in the last 4 months to buy/trade for a game.

    So I think I have finally lined up enough funds to go looking for one of my grail machines. So here is my official 'I want it!' ad...

    I am looking for a restoration candidate Funhouse.

    If you look at my posting history, you will find that I completely re-did a SF2 over the last two years, and I am hoping to do the same with a Funhouse.

    So what do I mean by a restoration candidate?

    1. The playfield must be complete (including Rudy)
    2. Ideally, the game is still assembled. However, I would consider a game in pieces as long as the playfield is still assembled.
    3. The cabinet can be faded, scratched, and gouged. I just don't want anything with delaminating plywood, or water damage.
    4. The backglass/translite can be faded, or even completely missing.
    5. The playfield...This is where things get tricky. I know there are reproduction playfields out there, and they do occasionally come up for sale. That said, I absolutely would love to buy (and am willing to pay more for) a restoration machine that would include an uninstalled reproduction playfield. However, as long a the playfield is restoreable (minor wear marks, no prior touchups) I will consider it. Rudy must be complete.
    6. Boards/electronics.. It does not need to work. I can be missing boards, but no missing/hacked wiring harnesses please.
    7. Price: Obviously I am not going to pay you the same as you would get for a nice fully functional Funhouse. I am willing to pay $3,000-$3,500 (cash on the glass) for a complete game.
    8. I am not interested in shipping a game from out of state. Ive had bad experience with shippers, and am more than willing to travel as far south as San Diego, and as far north as the Bay area.

    Anyone around the San Jose/Los Gatos/Silicon Valley area interested in helping out a n00b get a TNA up some stairs and setup? Hoping to receive it next week.

    Planning to do white glove delivery unless a fellow pinhead has an escalara or the experience to get a machine up some stairs.

    Quoted from OnTheSnap:

    the experience to get a machine up some stairs

    A few threads on how to move a machine. In short, get it into its component parts first, so that no single piece is >100 lbs. Then any 2-sized people can do it without hurting themselves.

    Looking for recommendations.

    We're planning ahead for a move in the fall. We've got a new home construction happening that's got space for our collection. Yay us! But, the collection will need to move, from Santa Clara to Tracy. Whoops. Shoulda thought of this before getting into this hobby.

    Any referrals (or even suggestions) on who can move our pinball collection? I'm looking for secure transport from a ground floor warehouse to a ground floor home (with a typical slopped driveway, and threshold at the door). I can handle leveling once moved, but I'd gladly pay for that too. It's more than I want to tackle on my own; and on the (commercial) warehouse side I don't have adequate insurance to have friends help. I'd rather outsource it to someone adequately equipped, and insured.

    #4923 5 years ago

    Hey, congrats on your home and future space!
    Ive never had adequate insurance for friends help either, just a few different forms of motivation...

    Yeah, there is only so much pizza his friends can eat for such a big move!

    As excellent as your warehouse space is, it will be most excellent to bring your collection home. Happy for you guys.

    I'm looking forward to getting a new neighbor. We have league in Lodi too

    #4927 5 years ago

    I've gotten away from pins a bit and am trying to track down the last couple arcade games I've been after. Since I'm finding these are pretty hard to find I thought I would post here too. Anyone happen to have a Forgotten Worlds, Food Fight, Williams Bubbles, or Ghosts 'n Goblins for sale? If so, please send me a PM. Thanks for your time.

    Hoping to get my Gilligans fixed in time for the Lodi show. It's been a bugger so far to figure out. (Won't be for sale, but have at it! Did well last year)

    #4930 5 years ago

    Hey, is anyone holding a decent Getaway translite they wouldn't mind parting with? I have a pretty sketchy repro I need to replace.

    Hello rdbronko73...

    I have 4-5 pins that I plan to bring to Golden State Pinball Fest (Lodi pinball show) in 5-6 weeks. As a back-up; my ST-TNG maybe one of them. If so, I'll have it available for sale there.

    I've been scheming on how I get your collection to the Golden State Pinball Festival and then store them until you move.

    #4935 5 years ago

    Alas, I've got meet ups booked until Oct 2.

    Once I get stuff moved, I'll be happy to host for folks who don't mind the drive.

    Swap Box with Williams Medieval translite. Both in perfect shape. I own the pin now, so owning this feels redundant to me.
