    Quoted from boogies:

    Still looking to trade a rough players condition Rollergames. Everything works. I'm looking for a space themed game +/- cash as needed. Pinbot or Space shuttle would be awesome.

    Boogies,

    My sister is in West Sacramento, loves roller derby, and is looking for a pin. IM me for quote on price if you want to let Rollergames go.

    Thanks,
    G

    She isn't on a team, she does crossfit and back in the day ranked top ten in the nation for track cycling. She works for Mikes Bikes.

    Quoted from lb1:

    Not trying to be a party pooper, but I was just reminded that there is a 90% chance of the Big One hitting the Bay Area in the next 30 years. Are you guys doing anything particular in terms of protecting games? Anyone had direct experience with pinball machines in the 89 earthquake?

    you guys are not only on the Hayward fault line but also at risk of liquefaction due to your soil composition.

    Quoted from mann0mann:

    Thanks again. Really appreciate all your guidance the last month.
    Haven't converted to NVRAM yet, I am very familiar with that process and have even ordered some for some of the vid applications over the years. I'll get on that soon. I did have to put about $100-$150 into it to get it going, mostly cosmetic stuff (plastics, buttons, leg accessories, etc) but I did put in two new flipper assemblies since the ones I had were mismatched coils and needed rebuilds.
    Definitely thinking about LED's and even started building an order on Comet, but thought I would cool my jets a little and make sure I really enjoy this title before I go too crazy.
    It's funny, as soon as the first one was in the gameroom....all I've been thinking about is adding the next.

    Mann, if you get tired of the Getaway I can take it off your hands

    I am in Colony Park (Concord) and have three pins

    Stern Meteor - fully restored, you can search pinside for pictures
    Data East Checkpoint - currently restoring, broken down to bare wood
    Williams Coquette - 60s EM that my daughter plays

    Quoted from lb1:

    Indeed. Gryphun looks like he's up to some serious restoration work which I'd love to see.

    patience is a virtue when painting. I cleared the cabinet with this 2K.

    Worked really well but I recommend to spray outside with nitrile gloves and proper mask

    Been toying with the idea of selling my NOS Data East Checkpoint playfield.

    playfield is in original condition (couple imperfections) with no clearcoat.
