Quoted from fattrain:Hey guys!!! I'm here!!!
Gimme about another month or two & I'll host a Pinside party @ my place.
I'll probably have to limit the number of people though to like a comfortable 50 (give or take)
Cool we can always start the crawl at my pad.My 1 car shack fits four people very comfy
Hear Hear mof..We really need a dedicated place for norcal for all those reasons.I dig SPG but newsgroops are a very ancient and limited in action.Someone hook this up.I am willing to donate some time to any project

This is for the bay..there is nothing in the Sacto area..Someone start it now..
so you can slide in w/opaying for a movie.That usually a weekend event.During the week or slow days the ticket takers are up front by the entrance.
Quoted from dsuperbee:Sweating out in the garage working on my DW (Thank you Daniel for the parts!) while 2 racks of ribs slow cook in the smoker.
It has to be around 100 out today, and the garage is no different! (I really should be working on my Earthshaker, but got frustrated with the never ending issues so decided to swap it up!)
What is everyone working on today?
Just got back from the Food Truck event in west Sac.Its was blazing.Working on my buddies Indy trying to finish the playfield.Def drinking some brews..Lmk if you need help bro
Sent the 20+JD parts to the PC place in Carmichael.Thanks again Sparky for the OJT on easy side rail removal.Summer is here time for BBQ brews and pins.My shack is going to suck this weekend.107 on Saturday
Quoted from Sparky:Glad to hear you got the siderails off without any problems. Are you going with the same colr red? That was a nice color for the JD!
I picked out a deeper red.little bit on the bloody side.I will shoot photos when its done.I was in Modesto today and stopped by funworks.Seems all the pins are gone,or did I miss a hidden room someplace.Also stopped by the bowling alley and saw what must have been the filthiest pins ever on route.If someone can confirm this please update the pinmap
Quoted from Rcade:I always made an effort when I went there with my wife and kid to put in some games on all the pins there.
Ya I made sure I checked the pin map before I headed up to Jamestown this mourning.When i arrived I was right away kicked in the bean bag by nothing but redeption games.We should all try and make an effort to keep the map updated.
Wow.if its the same William (I-80 off greenback ln)..ive been to Will's house never knew he had a neighbor a few doors down with pins as well..did he speak with ihis iphone as well..crazy coincidence
Quoted from pinwillie:This gave me a laugh sfbay.craigslist.org link
TZ $10000
Too bad yours has a slight mark on your piano mod..you should be able to get 9998$ for yours Willy
Quoted from starbase:Now back to hand holding and peace and love and pinball before our thread gets locked and we have to start a new one.
I am by no stretch good at this but why don't we start something like this I threw together http://ncpb.boardforum.ca/ ..I know someone can put something better together.I am willing to donate time.I think Mike has some good domains already locked down that can be used.It would also cure the piling up emails from a old outdated comm like newsgroups (SPG).
I not saying get rid of it I love SPG as well.Just a thought to filter people from out of the area someplace else instead of your inbox
Quoted from dsuperbee:Nope, but a great tiki bar, and the drinks are stiff! Food is pretty good too.
Ya trader sams is cool..I picked up some cool tiki mugs for whenever I have a cool game room at some point in my life.also pick up a cool HM mickeys halloween party sign from anna convention from last month.I dont know why they just dont hang a Flynns sign up over the Starcade since its mostly classics now
Ya its pretty damn lame.Good news is we have a new tourney starting tonight here in Sacramento.I really hope PPE returns soon
Quoted from zucot:I did it to help someone buy a different pin. That and I'm OCD with my lineup.
Your not the only one..My FT im selling/trading has been in my collection the longest.Im proud of myself for hanging on to it so long
Quoted from dsuperbee:Go check it out, make an offer. Worst that can happen is he says no.
Inside of the cab from pf lifting is an easy fix with a can of spray paint, some newspaper, and tape. Not a big deal. Outside.....yeah that is a different story!
I don't think all new rubbers were put on, the post rubbers at the upper ramp were not replaced, you can see the ball marks. Not a huge deal, but......it is something I would check out.
I have been eyeing that TS for weeks now.Ya but I figured on that rating system might be sometime before seller grows a brain and accepts a reasonable offer. one of us should just bite the bullet and go look at it.I guess a 80 miles round trip for me is not too bad.
Quoted from Miguel351:I'm in major money-save mode right now(unless I find a FH super cheap!).
Sounds like a phrase I have been muttering for the past few months.cash still in hand and no FH
Quoted from KenPin:Going to pick up wife's cousin from SFO tomorrow night. Anybody got any pins for sale in San Francisco area?
Looking for something as well.well a fixer upper FH.No luck around these parts.Good luck bro not a ton going on around these parts
Quoted from snikrap:Deleted post
They need another location here in Sacto.someone get on that please
I remember FLY when I was a kid.Never saw a pinball in there either.There was an RC car dirt track behind it back in the 80s.Good stuff Glen
Kerry I know one guy in Sac getting one.I have yet to even see/play a pro yet.might have to roadtrip out to the bay..
Leo13 can you rub some goodluck my way.I cant get a single bite on my roadshow
Just got back from my trip to the east bay.Man what an awesome scene.Stopped by Phoenix games got my butt handed to me by all games but not TZ.Played really well.Stopped by Hi-life and played ST pro.Fun and amazing game but not level,drained every time out of the vengeance lock.Headed over to the Legionnarie Saloon and played a ton of MET with jonnyo .Got a bunch of replays and had a blast
Seriously why the hell cant Sac have this kind of scene.It was awesome.wish I lived in the bay for pinball but paid Sacto living prices
Quoted from jyfly:Yes but serious buyers only! Does she seriously think she will have a buyer at 12K? It must be one of those, this is what they go for on Ebay sellers.
Quick send over that Sopranos model from oakland..That should help
Quoted from daley:Definitely let me know if you decide to sell it. I would likely be interested in at least taking a look at it.
Too bad this was not a month ago.The one I had was very nice.It did go to a fellow pinsider that was his first pin.Eventually I will have a house where I am not forced to rotate games so often
Quoted from practicalsteve:Any pinsiders here selling that Rollergames on CL? I emailed them to see if they wanted to do a trade for F-14.
There was a dude on KLOV selling one from Tracy
Quoted from izzy:Glen, let's both go over and help him. We should talk to Brad first though since he's already done it.
izzy
Should be a pretty simple job at Dylan's pad. Ive been at this POTC shop out all day. If you guys are heading over LMK. Also there is a in prompt to pin night at Keith's house tomorrow. Izzy I was at Dad's tonight and the Doozie was down. I almost asked for the keys.was thinking my EM Glen FLY Hardware skills were up to par "ya I can fix it,do you have a Key"
Wow that looks like one hell of a project.Cant wait to see how it turns out.Are you going to re decal it
Quoted from pinwillie:I wondered the same thing
Does U- Haul even have vans this big with a lift gate ?
I did snap one shot of the van after loading
Load in day. What a blast. Well until the u-hauls show up.Not too far away fellas cant wait
Quoted from starbase:Hope this finds it's way to someone looking for a fairly priced SS (3900).
sfbay.craigslist.org link
I emailed as well and heard nothing. Had a blast tonight CCPL west. Can't wait for PAGG 2014.Should be an epic time
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:Scam alert. Watch out for the "Mint" Getaway ad on Bay Area CL. I spoke with the guy over the phone and his story had more holes in it than swiss cheese. He's definitely a liar, definitely a flake, and likely a scammer.
That was not my posting. I would never call my Getaway "mint". I did post in the bay CL though. Hope this foolio doesn't rain on my listing
Quoted from Jabbles180:That getaway plays great too. Sooner or later somebody will pick it up and that persob is going to be really happy.
Quoted from mrgone:I was checking the pinball map and I noticed that the games are not listed at pilot travel center.
Does anyone know, did they remove all the pins?
I went by there a few days ago they have removed that whole game area and replaced it with various smoking devices in glass cases. Lame
Quoted from practicalsteve:Pretty much what I would have guessed, hardly deals at all.
Ya not worth it at all. Glad I stayed home. I went out last week to check the games out. SM had wear at the pops to the wood, needed new ramps and plastics. POTC was probably the best of the bunch, so at 3k probably the only "deal" out of the three.
Quoted from practicalsteve:Big big thanks to BlobfishXL for stopping by today and helping me haul a pin up to the garage. Moving a pin is always my least favorite part of this hobby, thanks for helping! I will reciprocate any time!
Why the hell is everything in the east bay an elevated position. When I got my creech out of Keith's. What a pain in the ass that was. The house has a basement. Why not build it on the ground. Its just strange living around levee's here in Sacto and nothing is elevated
Houses in Curtis Park not soo much. I guess East Bay homes are more built over a garage type setup. I guess its not that strange now that I think about it. I guess the moving a 300lb game from up stairs still haunts me
Quoted from Jabbles180:Pm sent
damn you woodbridge boy. I just got off work. hope you get it so I can play
Rad I will be at Fanny Anns on WED stoked on that lineup. I think the Mental Health album cover should be posted with the lineup but thats just me . Jabbles hope I will be able to make it next weekend, job willing. Jpc I also live in E G. Hopefully my new job will happen soon where I can have a normal schedule and play some more pinball. Work sucks!!
Quoted from shaunsquid:I have been MIA for a bit but I will DEFINITELY be showing up for this some time very soon.
Ya we only had four show up. Lets get some more players next time. Word of advice try to show up right at 6pm. That way you can feed the meeter 2$ to put at the 8 o'clock hour when the meters are free. That way you don't have to keep feeding and won't risk a 40$ parking tix. cant wait for KISS to drop at Fanny's.
Quoted from mrgone:Who's planning on going to fanny Ann's tomorrow to get some time on kiss?
I plan on being there in the afternoon. Hope to see you there.
Did we get a for sure from Steve yet? I will be there if kiss lands for sure
Quoted from Jabbles180:Wont ever be a SOF for sale thread as it will be here before he has to make a thread Steve!
There wont be a damn Sorcerer thread either. Back off bud!!
Quoted from Jabbles180:Thanks Loren. I'm sure Alex was just super stoked about hearing about an MM. He is more enthusiastic about location machines than anyone I know. I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding l.
Quoted from rolandthoms:I've got to get over to Phoenix Games and play all of Rob and Bryce's games !!
I was there Sunday when Kevin was moving transformers out. For sure have to make a trip back soon. Such a rad location
