    It's a multicade with really cool lit up joystick knobs that have bubbling inside to catch the light. I got a few games on it, I played METAL SLUG and SMASH T.V. wich used both joysticks.

    I actually went to his house when I was looking for my first pin since he's in santa rosa, I got the feeling it was a scam but I seen kids there playing BATTLEFIELD 3 and by "work" it looked like just bulb and rubber replacements and maybe a cleaning with novus 2 except it was caked in the star posts. Funny thing he told me was if I bought a pin from him I could always sell it for $1k this was when he wanted $1100-1200 for BLACK PYRAMID he still hasnt sold it and is down to $850 obo.

    #166 10 years ago

    he actually had a FREDDY when I went there but it was SOLD busted claw and all. Atleast he's not selling the kids to get the pins I find it amusing to look at the other pins in the pictures that aren't listed every week.

    EBCR was awesome! Sonoma County needs a league! We could use scandia as neutral ground till we work out private meets. Willie, Glen we gotta REPRESENT!

    #491 10 years ago

    #879 10 years ago

    was that your MARS at PAGG'13 with light up flippers and audio jack?

    #884 10 years ago

    maybe a hernia

    #889 10 years ago

    luckily it wasnt an inguinal hernia, get well soon.

    #907 10 years ago

    hoping I can restore my PADDOCK by then.
    Hey! I played that TAXI

    #915 10 years ago

    I think that was NAPA...if it's another I'll take a cheap sqeek!
    I love those chunky funky bloopy blops! Every KoS I see is blasted.

    #921 10 years ago

    I won TPA PS3 tournament again finished second the first tournament. Anybody play The Pinball Arcade?

    #928 10 years ago

    Thanks boogies. The PC version should have a cabinet view, if not right now soon. Then there could be tournaments on PC cabinet or not.

    #953 10 years ago

    it's not like it's at a skrip crub Steve Im guessing the Ms. wont mind autoglass..dudes probably belongs to one of them. FRIENDIES!

    Yes, I just got the red done. Got to keep telling myself baby steps... baby steps or it can get a little overwhelming. Thank goodness for Pinside.

    #1009 10 years ago

    Im in!
    well need a truck, a tazer some rope and pepper spray!

    #1047 10 years ago

    you should take them through the loin first then every neighborhood will look good or hunters point.

    #1056 10 years ago

    Nien Nien Nien!

    #1058 10 years ago

    $2500 for a Grand Lizard! and I felt dueschey for asking $900 for mine another person using ebay as a price reference most likely. 15 years in thier home thats a 13 year gap from production so that doesn't mean diddly.
    sfbay.craigslist.org link

    #1064 10 years ago

    it's an antique it MUST be worth thousands....yep ebay says IM RICH!
    at first I didnt like it now I love it for its brutality it would make a good tournament pin, and the sounds yeah its different but I play listening to dubstep...hence the inverted williams apron logo photo shopped to portray that. I had it printed onto a T-shirt for PAGG better than a name tag.

    #1068 10 years ago

    maybe Nob Tender...it is SF

    #1073 10 years ago

    How was the tournament at PPM?

    #1089 10 years ago

    congrats jonnyo! way to represent.

    #1104 10 years ago

    rollercoaster $150 posted yesterday and it was an EM not RCTC still $150 is a steal!

    #1111 10 years ago

    no leagues up here yet Brookelynn Id like to change that but am not sure how. Welcome

    #1114 10 years ago

    SCANDIA in Rhonertpark would be a good neutral place, Brookelynn is kind out there in the sticks (I lived in Forestville) Rhonert Park is a bit of a drive but Fairfield would be a long drive. Yes WE DO!

    #1151 10 years ago

    dam Im thinking about it sooo hard and it right in my backyard.......I have 2 sys11's so tempting.

    #1158 10 years ago

    just tazer them, make sure they're not leaning against a machine.

    all womens group for pinball a neutral playing field? I mean if thts what it takes to get you into the male dominant hobby more power to you, but how do you leave your house without feeling "PERVED ON"? seriously! I held my tounge long enough because theres really no way to speak without someone playing the victim card its just sad. Unfourtunatley this is the world we live in now and when you have an all 1 sex group your bound to have extreme views of that nature. Im sure I'll get some flame 4 this but pinball shouldn't devide people into sects<-see that

    #1264 10 years ago

    we'll said caligirl. I think that a seperation of sexes within a comunity will only exasperate this and cause more dividing. Im not saying there arnt pervs or feminatzis this is the bay area If you want to single yourselves out regardless of sex ethnicity, religion there is going to be ignorance we as a pinball comunity 1st can only try to bring humanity together idealizations aside or enjoy playing that 4player EM alone and use those extra reels for parts!

    #1306 10 years ago

    just seen the PAGG'13 review in pinball news theres a picture of Pinwillie and I loading EBP truck, not sure what the question under it means? that truck didn't fill itself.

    #1316 10 years ago

    yeah lil'more pricey. A friend rented 1 from penske when he moved to get his coke machine in dam things HEAVY!
    After reading above the picture guess they were talking about different methods to the madness.
    Damn you think we'd done that before TEAMWORK

    anybody know who routes games in the juice shacks in sonoma county I looked for a vendor sticker but couldn't find one and the teenagers that work there didn't have a clue when I asked them, so far Ive been to 4 juice shacks and found BOP
    SWDE
    FH
    NASCAR
    all LED'd clean leveled and played great. I still have a few to visit to see if they all have a pin but if your in sonoma county google juice shack there should be a machine there low replay scores too, I always end up leaving credits when Im done.

    #1681 9 years ago

    ahh hadnt been to that one yet thanks for the heads up, looks like theres another juice shack in RP I wonder what it has. theres 1 more here in santa rosa I have yet to check but the one on stony point is right down the street from JOE VIDEO wich has 4 machines FAMILY GUY, LOTR, POTC and IM.
