I'm looking to sell my deadpool pro. Delivered and unboxed in my gameroom last May by the Pinball Pirate, so it's about 7 months old. 166 plays. I have never had to lift the glass. Best game ever, only selling because my premium arrives next week. $5400 firm. Thx

I'm never missing another league night again once everything opens. MFP baby!!!!

I looking for some road advice from anyone who has made the drive from the bay area to Bend OR. How severe are the passes? Should I expect to need chains? I've made the drive to Tahoe several times but I'm unclear as to how bad the route from Weed to Bend can get in March. I appreciate any thought. Thx

Alien SE in Santa Cruz county 10k

Adam is worse. Avoid jamesbon1 or whatever he is calling himself these days. Scumbag picked up a Wonka at Ayce Gogi that was routed to all fuck and flipped it 5 hours later as HUO and on top of that he stole the invisiglass or just left it at the arcade to get a better price. I asked him later by anonymous text what the hub ub on pinside about him was all about and he told me the buyer had remorse lol. If you knew the buyer you would know that is total bullshit. Laughable. I gave him a chance to explain and he just lied some more. Buyer beware.

Good info. I personally dont have a Spacebook or a Myface, only Pinside

Like my old man said. Anything you cant do out in the open probably ain't worth doing.

Devin is awesome. He did a ground up restoration of both my Cftbl and my Fg(bally). Both with playfield swaps and cabinet restores. Creech got the original playfield restored and cleared by Kruzman with cab restore and decals by Devin. Flash Gordon got a new cpr playfield and the cab got restored and painted by Devin. Both machines are the nicest you will likely ever see. Stop by my place by appointment if you ever want to check them out. Some of you on here already have. He has also installed some troublesome mods for me including the walking Stay Puft for Ghostbusters and tail light mod on creech.

Looking for a Mike D creech mod if anyone has an extra laying around

It could be on the list for Haggis to remake it. They said they are doing 5.

Hi all. Stopping by on my way to the what did you bring home today thread and wanted to invite any buyers or tire kickers to come check out my Aliens. I could keep them both but I'm hoping someone will make a good home for one of them. Hit me up after the holiday and we can set something up.

My Ghostbusters premium is up on Craigslist pm if interested

I'm looking for an evhoh or a nice ss. Cash in hand and possible deadpool premium as trade bait

Anyone want my tz translite and glass? No scratches. $60 cash for anyone who wants to drive up,down,or over to pick up

Looking for a Munsters premium

Looking for a Gottlieb Incredible Hulk in any condition. I should have picked up that one on Craigslist Santa Clara last year. Anyone know who that was or if it's still for sale?

I will stop by and check it out. Are they open?

I assumed that was Whitney....

Damn auto correct. I typed Whiney

F#ck. Sorry. I assumed that was Whitey

Could be bayareapinster but I doubt it. I've actually done business with the pinster and he was super cool. Kind of like if James Bond and Manny Paquio had a baby and that baby grew up to sling pins. Very easy to do business with.

I'm getting a little bored with retirement so I'm offering my services for local bay area and long haul pin delivery between Portland and Phoenix. Let me know if I can help you with any moves you are planning. I will be learning as I go as far as the logistics and scheduling but I do have extensive experience moving mine and others high end games.

I would certainly like to. I love Reno and have good friends there. I would need to look at the particulars. This is definitely going to be a learning as I go process for me as far as scheduling and pricing. I am hoping to put together one multi day run a month with drop offs and pick ups along the way.

Im starting to line up some runs and one of them is the full distance(AZ to OR). I'm hoping to start on the 17th of this month so contact me if you have anything for me. I should have room for at least two more items. I'm calling this experiment Fat J's Pin Wagon, serving OR,CA, AZ, Vegas and possibly the Reno/Tahoe area but that can be a stretch off route and I'm trying to keep this inexpensive. My goal is to have fun and see if its for me and not lose too much money figuring it out.

Update. As of now I have one item scheduled going from CA to OR. The item I was bidding on moving from Phoenix to OR fell through. I only need one or two more items to make this trip work. Let me know if you have anything. If it comes together this months trip should begin next Sunday the 17th leaving CA. Thx

Time for my Deadpool premium to move on. Stern shooter rod otherwise stock. Purchased second hand from the Pinball Pirate. 8400

The pin moving is coming along nicely. The first victim is going from Hayward to Salinas this weekend. Let me know if you want to hop on board and I may be able to fit you in. Otherwise this will be a solo trip close to home. I would say wish me luck but I'm already the luckiest guy I know so I won't hog up all the luck

As for dp premium. I'm sorry but I keep forgetting that I secured a pre order for a topper. I'm going to keep it til I get to enjoy the topper for a bit and then sell it for 20k with the rare topper. I will let you dissect the truth from jest in that . Either way I got to keep dp till I get the topper. Thank you for the interest

Fat J's Pin Wagon is ready to roll. Contact me if you have any pins needing transport. I will be around CAX on Saturday evening and Sunday if needed. Also heading up to Reno next week with room for an item on the trip up. Probably not on the back down though as I will be full once I get to Reno, maybe room for one pin coming back . Thx

I think I'm going to head over and check out CAX this evening. I didn't pre register but I'm hoping the crowd will be thin enough that I can pay at the door, yes I have a vac card and a mask. Who else is down to clown?

Quick update on the Pin Wagon. I took my first run Saturday morning to pick up a candy cab arcade for a gentleman in Salinas. I've never seen one in person, adorable little arcades. Took me about 4 hours round trip and everyone was happy and I had a lot of fun.

I just received my packing plastic wrap, blankets and straps from Amazon. My little pin wagon is gassed up and ready to rock at a moments notice. Message me and I will send you me number to keep on hand.

Thx for all the kind words of support!

Pin Wagon scheduling update. I will be in the south on Sunday morning 10/24 if anyone needs anything brought back up north for a Sunday evening drop off. May also have room for one more pin going down on 10/23
Also will be traveling north on Saturday the 6th of November empty to pick up an arcade cab in Portland. Let me know if you need anything brought north on that date. Thx for the continuing support
J
Fat J's Pin Wagon

Morning folks. The Pin Wagon will be in the Sacramento area tomorrow 10/26 available for pick ups in the afternoon. Lmk asap if you want to hop on board.

We arrived back home last night after our first trip south. Picked up two pins in the bay area and brought them to the inland empire and then grabbed another pin in the Santa Barbara area on our way back up. Everything went well and I would call the trip a solid success although LA was miserable to drive through. Possiby a small mental anguish surcharge in the future

Good morning. Fat J's Pin Wagon is finishing its second run to socal this morning. Thanks to some awesome navigation tips from pinsiders, it is going much smoother than last weekend. Thx Bluespin! Picked up a pin in Santa Ana yesterday and have one more stop before heading back up to the bay area. I am scheduled to go up to Portland next week to pick up an item but I'm still empty on the way up. Let me know if you need anything moved north. I may also have room for one item going east on the 80 towards Reno and Utah later this month. Thx for the support.

Thx Brother. I have two ideas for t-shirts. I need to figure out how to make it happen. Does the flipper room help design and print shirts?

Busy making some questionable mods to the Pin Wagon. The plan is to focus more on California over the holidays and the rest of winter til things thaw out a bit. Let me know what you got...

Hey there everyone! Pin Wagon update. It's been one month since I picked up the reigns of the Pin Wagon and it has been a blast. Started off moving a candy cab across the bay. Followed that up with 3 trips down south and a stop in Sac. That was awesome because I was able to check out the Thunder Valley poker tournament after the drop off. Chopped three ways for a grand. Nice. Last week I hired the Pin Wagon myself and took a trip to pick up a pin in the SLC with a stop in Reno both ways. Lots of fun. I'm booked til after Thanksgiving but let me know if you need anything after that. Just a heads up. I will be less likely to take jobs north and east of CA until springtime. I don't like the snow. Thanks for all the positivity. I couldn't do this without all of the awesome pinheads out there.

Nice work. Gorgeous!

Fat J's Pin Wagon is in the city today dropping off a BSD that had the playfield swapped by Pinball Panic in Morgan Hill. Beautiful work Devin and thanks for thinking of me for delivery!

Very nice!

Pin Wagon is up and rolling again after the holiday break. I'm heading up to Reno for a pick up this weekend and so far I'm empty on the trip up. Hit me if you have anything going that way.

Anyone looking for a Namco Bowl a Rama? I need to make some room. Message me with any questions. My buddy has a buy back agreement on it but I'm 95% sure he doesn't have room either.

J
Fat J's Pin Wagon

Yes. Reznnate has dibs on all my pins. But he has released me from our buyback agreement on the bowler. Sale pending

Anyone have any British pounds that I could buy off of you? I'm sending my son off for a semester at the University of Birmingham this weekend and I want to give him a card with some cash in it. Long shot I know but this group is awesome so I thought I'd try. Thx Ladies and Gents

J
Fat J's Pin Wagon

It's freaking gorgeous. Do the colors match perfectly when placed side by side with the plastic translite? No. The greens and purples are darker if memory serves, huge improvement. Capt Neo restored the playfield with a hot pink instead of the muted pink of the original. Also a big improvement. I have always been happy with the cpr bg. I have them on everything I can. I even have the color Centaur lol. Bad pictures. I use a 40 dollar phone.

Now that I see the pics of Centaur lit and unlit, I realize I need to take that purple bulb out of the Queens butt

Reno was a blast. I plan on making a trip up there each month to play some cards so hit me up if you need anything moved. Nice collection! Let me know if that SS is ever available. That's my only grail game left....except for Fathom.

I've lived in California for 50 years and that was my first time in Santa Rosa. Beautiful drive.

I just got a big box of Fat J's Pin Wagon t shirts in from the printers. They look so awesome. Anyone who wants one can message me a size request and if I have it I will give you my friends and family email and you can give me 25 bucks. That will cover materials and shipping. Anyone who has used me for delivery can do the same and just give me 10 bucks for one. Anyone patient enough to call me a friend deserves one for free, so just stop by anytime and grab a couple lol. Hope everyone is well and having an awesome Vday.

I don't want to out the pinsider who did the logo for me but I'm sure he's lurking here and will pop his head up and take some credit. Beautiful work brother!

The printer gave me a shit load of 3xl so don't be shy fellow fat boys

I want that scared stiff. But that SOF is pretty tempting....

I have not been playing my TZ. It's very nice. Would anyone like to trade for a Scared Stiff, Iron Maiden, Fathom or Wonka LE...

Fat J is heading up to Reno the weekend of March 5th to play some cards. Let me know if anyone wants anything brought up or back down. If I can find up job I will roll the Pin Wagon, if not I will just take my Fat Mobile lol. I see some nice pins up there..a SOF and a jungle lord. Lmk.

Does anyone need the stern deadpool topper. I have the Pirate over to do some service and he brought me one. I don't need it now because I traded deadpool for Godzilla. Anyone want it? I can buy it and you can pick it up at my place or I can send it back to Benicia and you can buy it from him. I was also considering buying it and putting it in storage in case I ever buy another one or if they skyrocket in value. Let me know any thoughts. Thx

The city is still beautiful and I never have an issue when I'm up there but that just me. Maybe I just have good karma...

Why not take a drive down to the Seaside neighborhood of Monterey? Lynn's Arcade and tin can slangery or is it Lynn's pinball parlor and tin can slangery? I think I can't remember because I slang one too many cans the last time I was there. They had Ultraman on the floor last fall. I personally had a blast shooting that freak show of a pin. It was fun for me. Your mileage may vary. Check the website for a current line up. Nicest guys and gals in pinball. Props to Nicole Matt and Cary!

That's awesome brother!!

I'm still looking for a Fathom or a Scared Stiff....

I don't use Spacebook or Myface, but I'm going to try to Google it. Thx!

I will be heading up to Reno on Monday the 9th of May, returning on Thursday the 12th for some much earned R&R. Let me know if anyone needs help moving along the 880, 680, 80 corridor on those dates. Thanks.

Mos def, but thanks for reminding me. My trip is postponed til Monday the 23rd because Spooky is delivering my HW next week. I already found a job coming down from reno but I'm still open for the trip up. Let me know if you or anyone need anything brought up that week.

I will stop by next time . What night is your league? BTW How did your crew enjoy the Namco Bowl O Rama?

I was up in the Santa Cruz mountains today checking out a Space Duel arcade machine and the seller was a real nice guy. He also has a Flight 2000 that he wants to get rid of. He's had it for 20 years. It's complete and seems to work with the exception of two of the displays and some lights out on the playfield. Playfield is planking and the backglass has serious flaking. I'm not interested personally but I was wondering what you all thought about the value of it? He's asking 1200.

Yep. The Space Duel looks good but still overpriced I think at 1200. Fun game for sure

Anyone who knows you, would know it wasn't you. But seriously thats alot of Kerry's even before you factor in the disproportionate number of Carys in the hobby. Either way I'm sure this will be sorted out before the nights over. Good luck

Just back from a fun trip from San Ramon to Santa Barbara for an awesome young man and his Grand Dad. They were stoked to park their new Getaway next to the original. Anyone who gets a chance should not hesitate to work with @Pinballboy. Very good communication and easy to work with. I want to see a picture of Gramps in his XXXL Fat J's Pin tshirt. BTW, I think he's looking for a Bad Girls or a Surfin Safari if anyone knows...

I'm looking to put together another trip to Reno in the next week or two, so let me know if anyone needs delivery on the along the way.

Right back at ya my brother. I appreciate that coming from you. Norcal pinball fucking rocks!

I'm limited to California and Reno/Tahoe currently. I operate a small van and longer trips are cost prohibitive. I end up being 2 to 3 times the sti/beltman rate. It's a bummer because I love the drive, I just can't do it for 600 bucks.

San Diego to Yreka and over to Reno/Tahoe. Pretty much anywhere I can get in 7 hours or less allows me to be competitive with the major shippers. I still cost more more than Sly Foxx though but my service is more personalized and I try to have a quick turnaround. I'm more of a taxi than a trucker. One item at a time. I'm just in it for the experience, my $ margin is very thin

I do have one client that I have driven to Phoenix, Salt Lake and Bend Oregon for. I see him every time I look in the mirror and he doesn't pay me shit but he's helped me get some incredible pins. TBL in Bend, Centaur in Arizona and Godzilla in Utah. I'm my own best customer for sure. The way I see it the Pin Man has to be ready to get in his van at anytime to score a sweet deal.

I'm getting alot of interest in my Godzilla LE from socal. Anyone up here looking? You all know how much I hate driving in LA.

J
Fat J's Pin Wagon

I'm home all the time if anyone wants to pop over and see Godzilla in person. I'm 45 minutes south of San Jose

I would rather drive from home to Folsom three times than once through LA. I hate crowds

Sale pending on Godzilla. I

You are always welcome Brother. I cant remember if we managed to meet in person yet but I know we've talked often about buying selling and shipping because I remember talking about your local connection to the Monterey Bay. Make sure to call me first though because I live in the sticks so I'm pantless and armed most of the time when wandering around my compound. Definitely a horrible thing to stumble upon lol. I call it my "Fat Farm" and my gameroom the Fat Cave of course.

J

Sure..

Godzilla LE is no longer sale pending. Message me if interested and I will send you my cell. I've exceeded my daily allotment of pinside messages all week lol. Ive also decided to sell my TBL. Lmk. Thx

Hello to everyone. I've been out of the loop and dealing with some weather related issues around my property. This is actually the first time I've looked at pinside in months so I hope everyone and everything has been good and smooth. The reason I'm posting is because I would like to see if anyone is interested in my rick n morty. It has everything besides the butter plus a few tasteful mods. First owner, huo, low plays, clean machine. I'm available anytime to meet and show it to any of you.12K. Thx

Unfortunately I'm not doing any deliveries currently or for the foreseeable future. I've just been crazy busy and have zero time to be on the road.

Looking for an Elvira topper...

Try Lynn's in Monterey.

I have a large box of used parts from a restoration of a Scared Stiff. Playfield is not bad at all. Also in good shape are the plastics, translite, ramps, dmd. Old coin door is well worn. Best offer. Prefer a quick, in person deal. I can deliver around the bay area. Thanks

Looks like I may have found a good home for my old, lightly used parts. Thanks for the interest and I will keep it updated if things change

Even more reason to wait for Chris. He can do both in one stop

My Centaur and/or my Halloween for your Munsters premium/LE with topper? Cash? Anyone?

I was just checking their website. Nice line up. Can't wait to check it out

Super sweet

I'm going to sink some cash into that Labyrinth when it arrives for sure
