    Anybody ever been motivated to sell just because of another seller?

    Usually with pins, I've been the exact oposite - wait until all other titles are sold, then list mine....
    There's another guy that sells digital pinball machines sfbay.craigslist.org link and it makes me want to list mine, because I think that he might sell that #edited# version to another pinhead that would've deserved better!

    I built a custom machine for a guy once, and it was a dual monitor, and I felt bad, because I learned how to do better on the next machine. This guy doesn't seem to want to put effort into the machines, and it bugs me - uggh, resisting the urge to list!!!!! I sold my last one to a guy for about $1500 more than the listing above, and the purchaser told me that the difference was night and day!

    If any Pinsider wants to play a digital pin (or bring a buddy), please PM me. You bring the beer, and you can play for as long as you like - at least you'll have a better first impression

    Quoted from practicalsteve:

    I would like to do that sometime. His digital pin does not look that hot but the arcade mame that hangs on the wall is pretty damn awesome.

    Cool, and FWIW, I have a custom hyperSpin MAME cab too - it isn't wall mounting.

    I just finished my Bally Wizard! Playfield swap. It was my first playfield swap, and it's also my first EM. I just purchased it a few months back, and I'm very happy that there were no "real" problems during the swap.

    I still need to buy new flipper bats, shooter rod springs, and a couple leds - but for the most part, it's done.

    Quoted from sosage:

    So I shouldn't pick Wizard against you anymore?

    Ha, you'd still probably put me to shame - I can always say "It's not the same machine". My highest score was around 140, and I think you did over 200, right?

    Quoted from dsuperbee:

    Spending tonight working on my bowler instead of Doctor Who. I've done 7 score reels so far, and have been happy, with the exception of the cleaning of the actual reels. United used cardboard and paper reels, so using any sort of liquid to remove the dirt is iffy. I remember reading somewhere about trying bread, and have it a shot. VERY happy! Gets the majority of the dirt, no liquids needed! First is a before, 2nd is after. Third pic is behind the backglass.

    Looks great - So you just kinda scrub the reel with white bread?

    #459 10 years ago

    Cool - Next time I am attacking the reals, I'll try it too.
    My daughter and I played Midway Strikes and Spares, a digital puck bowler at CAX.

    We both fell in love with it. I hope to find one someday.

    Quoted from Gorf:

    Good Luck! Routed fun houses are in the 4k range...

    My interesting morning:

    I go today to Foster Lumber Fairfield to buy some window trim. When I walk inside, I see an EM - Racing theme. My attention is immediately there, and I am talking with my daughter in awe, when the Manager tells me it doesn't work. I quickly say "Then I'm here for you". He grabbed his keys let me have a go at it. I manually ran most of the relays, pulled out a couple few fuses, checking them and putting them back (I have no tools with me) After scratching my head and examing stuff for about 20 mins - It was working

    I'm not sure what the problem was, but my tinkering seemed to fix for now. I wish I would've realized what the problem was, so I could have fixed it properly.

    He gave me a discount on my trim, but the main thing was to see it up and running. I played a couple balls too

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

    Congrats! I don't have Pinball Arcade setup, but I play alot of my Virtual Pinball via my Hyperpin. It would be really cool if multiple Hyperpin users could play a "Virtual Tournament" - with different titles (given that all players had identical tables) Ahh, I can dream - that'd be too cool!

    #933 10 years ago

    Just got back from Free Gold Watch.
    Had a great first time there, the lineup was excellent! I din't take pics of the pins but from what I can recall:

    Baywatch
    Cyclone
    Firepower
    FirepowerII
    R&B
    Police Force (My Ex)
    BOP
    Pinbot
    MM
    AFM
    RFM
    Playboy
    DM
    DH
    X-Men Pro
    STTNG
    Honey
    RCT
    JP
    LaserCue
    WOZ

    and a couple more that I can't remember.
    I got a Shark Hi Score on Baywatch - so it displays BOO whenever anyone hits it in the shark hole
    I had played about 3-4 games of Baywatch on Hyperpin, but couldn't enjoy the POV and the GI. When playing the real one, I noticed that I really didn't care for the GI in person either - go figure
    I was lucky enough to meet alot couple cool cats, some old faces, a few SFPL members - and took home an awesome T-shirt too.

    The police force's outgassing display has become worse. It has about 45% of the top rows are out.
    It was very cool to see it on location, just wish the display held up better.

    I liked the custom graffiti style artwork on SFII.
    It was the only pics that I took

    Quoted from TronGuy:

    Hey so I have my Star Trek pro (which I am loving), I have installed the mezel vengance mod, and changed a couple of opto boards and a light board.
    I am sitting here on all of the cliffy's, the plastic protectors, and a klingon ship (hallmark ornament) that all need to be installed. It just looks like a major pain in the a$$.
    Anyone want to make a few bucks, play some pinball, and vids and I buy lunch as well to help me install all of this shit?
    Or should I quit being a bitch and just start tearing everything apart and get it installed for the experience of it?

    That actually sounds like fun
    Truly a case of wish I were closer.

    Quoted from midcoastsurf:

    I'm thinking it's a scam or the person hasn't checked the going rate in a few years. I would say way cheapish in the condition described. Seems to be in the $3,500-$5,000 all day long.

    Yeah, usually if you do a quick timeline - it's a fake add.
    The machine sold for $2500 around 5-7 yrs ago (guessing)
    Pic show recent alternative translite, meaning that the seller is still a pinhead (not out of the loop), and knows that this is worth more than the asking price. In addition, there is no name or phone number.

    #1519 10 years ago

    It's all about what you like. I can safely say that a Gilligans Island working 100% for 1k is not worth it to me - unless I just wanted to resale - which is not my thing. I think Dr Dude is probably a funner title with the same kinda ingredients strategy. I just hope to not see it back on CL being flipped by one of the regulars.

    For 1k and a little bit of repairs, it's a real deal with a DMD for the right person. I would rather have a SS like Pinbot, Space Shuttle, HS, etc... over Gilligans Island

    IMO - Price police will always exist, I'm talking about it - so I'm one, right?.....

    The truth is a pin is only worth what someone is willing to pay. When 2 people want a $1800 pin, and it's sold in a day, the next one will probably be listed at 2k. If that 2nd person is still wanting one, he'll probably jump at the 2k deal, since he let the $1800 one pass by. The next one gets listed for 2k (or more) and will sit. . . . . . .

    If you seen a good deal, doesn't mean that everyone selling one should price match the last good deal that you seen.
    If the price is too high, and no one wants it, it'll sit until someone wants it at the asking (or haggling) price.

    PAGG
    I put the Tron on roll call for the tourney - It MIGHT be selected?
    Can someone remind me to do an audit before and after? I really would like to know how many games can get played in 3 days. My ex-BK2K got a good amount of game play (approx 90%) of the time - but no audits done

    The Hyperpin will be FS/FT - not cheap, because I'd have to build another, as close to the same as possible since I'm still in love with it. The price police might be on this one, but considering the build time, and available "manufactured" market, I'd be asking close to that "manufactured" cost. There will be a few considerable "bonuses" for anyone actually interested.

    I can't wait for PAGG - I love to see people enjoy my games ( and I only bring two )

    I would be cautious, since there is no phone number and the listing is in Fairfield/Vacaville, and the machine is located in Redding. There was some ripoff artist working ebay scams in that area, so he might be looking for new venue?

    I'm not saying that this is the guy, but just be careful.

    The CL add is also by James, so it's a familar name....

    Quoted from halpain24:

    I am the one that posted the other Topic on the same issue. I messaged Hjbondar. My friend was one that was scammed on the TAF. I don't know yet if he wants any info of his revealed, but from his story Scotches was the sellers EBAY username and he went by James McMullen. Here is the link to the story,

    http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/how-helpful-is-paypal-when-you-get-scammed

    There was too many questionable things, such as "no playfield wear" and "I'm no expert" and looking to "trade up/down" Too many things says he's a pinhead that knows exactly what he's talking about, but wants to lure people in by acting like he doesn't. Obviously a BSD is worth quite a bit less than an IJ. Things just don't seem to add up

    #1712 9 years ago

    Sorry if it sound's like I'm pointing fingers. I'm not trying to tarnish someones add if it's legit...
    I would guess around 5k, since TZ and IJ have been historically similar in price. I haven't seen any IJ's sell locally recently, but a few TZ's have been in that 5k ballpark.

    Quoted from sosage:

    I suggest approaching it like this: think about what genre of games you really want to play, then design the project around that.

    ^^^ This ^^^

    For me, I love fighting games. SF layout make ALOT of sense. Not only does it work with SF, but almost every decent mame game. I used to have a trackball, and it was a cool novelty, but still wouldn't be ideal for games like golden tee - spin it with a fast "wack", because you would hit the monitor. There was only a handful of trackball games, like centipede and crystal castles, but they were kinda like "meh"

    Since I let go of my last Hyperpin a while back, and AC/DC came out - I decided to rotate my monitor. My layout will still work great with vertical games, but if I was to plan for vertical ONLY games, I wouldn't need a 6 button layout.

    JM is IMO, a super flow game. If you like control in your game (stop, aim, shoot) then you need to walk away from JM. It rewards you for "on the fly" shooting. I'm still finding mine to be very fun.

    I'm not too sure which other pin to bring? I've have a Tron pro (went last year), X-Men Magneto, the JM, and Black Hole. All 4 of those games have some cool mods to them. I would love to wait and see what everyone else is bringing, but I like to be as early of a sign-up kinda guy as possible.

    Quoted from Xscrapiron:

    Just make sure you dont set PF glass on the floor this year

    Scary thing is....

    I plan to buy a piece of glass for the BH from BAA to be delivered to PAGG.
    Maybe I'll just leave the old glass in it for the show, and bring the new glass home to be installed with carpet flooring.

    Someone told me "What are you doing - never set glass on concrete" when I didn't have carpet in the garage. I never had a piece explode 'til PAGG '14.
    Lesson learned - it can spontaneously explode!

    Here's my favorite glass vid:

    #2801 9 years ago
    Quoted from dsuperbee:

    If you want a challenge, you can help get my Funhouse out of my grandmas basement when the time comes. 6' ceiling, and we gotta lift it over a shuffleboard table

    I'll take the challenge! - it's coming to my place, right?

    A 6' ceiling doesn't sound too comfortable. I'm 6' even, and not sure if this would be trouble walking or not (obviously it would be a little claustrophobic) Playing pinball or relaxing on a couch would be fine. It sounds like a cool mancave with a shuffleboard in it other than the ceiling.

    Quoted from practicalsteve:

    That video is oddly enthralling. I dont know what the point of it is, but oddly enthralling.

    He is not a man of many words but I believe the point is how tempered glass breaks. It's extremely resistant of direct impacts (upset person smacking glass), but the corners are the week points.

    IMO, Space Station might be low (or fast seller). Your sorcerer may be a TAD bit low.

    I'd say you Space Station would sell pretty quickly at $1250. It's a title that's not seen often. I wouldn't be interested, but just some advise.

    #2868 8 years ago

    It sucks seeing people flip games for double - unfortunately someone can at these prices
    I seen a Pool Sharks at double your cost 2 wks after you sold yours

    #2872 8 years ago

    There's another Sorcerer for 700 in LA. 600 for you Sorcerer is probably decent for a sale.
    1250 for Space Station still seems at that "kinda" low price encouraging a quicker sale.

    #2876 8 years ago

    Congrats Jabbles.

    Stupid question, but do you have a BlackWater100, or is it just a backglass?

    #2891 8 years ago

    If you have time for a story continue reading, otherwise skip to next post.

    I was on a long trip for a pin/trade, and I kept thinking about different "angles" of the trade... How I'm gonna miss something, how cool it was to get a new game, etc....

    Then something reminiscent came up. I really can't believe that I actual REMEMBERED this:

    When I was around 16, I started getting some games: EBD, Dragons Lair, Lunar Lander - and I traded all 3 for a Gauntlet II. Mind you, this was when Gauntlet II was still earning in the arcades. First, I obtained the EBD from a local guy "Vending Route Co" that did a "bait n switch" with my parents (as the responsible buyers). I hacked the crap outta it, but kept it running 100% (I was 16, with a little tech knowledge, but I knew all the employees at EVERY local arcade)
    Later, I bought the DL from a local arcade during Christmas, so I knew that what I was getting - The Lunar lander was a few months $50 later from a buddy that worked at the arcade, and didn't want it any more.
    My parents knew a guy, that knew a guy, that got me a trade deal for the 3 (EBD, DL, LL) for 1 (GauntletII). I was happy with the trade, but I could've been really screwed if something like the monitor went out, or bait n switch action happened.
    I ALWAYS looked in the "Misc 4 sale" and "Electronics" in the local papers in the late 80's early 90's. it was pretty rare when I seen anything pop up - I never went to look at anything in that method, but DAMN! I quickly realized how lucky I am to live in the digital era - and remember how f'd it was when we were in the 80's and 90's.
    I couldn't send a pic, unless I had waited a week for it to develop, then send it through the post office. That'd be outta the question in those times. A map would take me 30 mins to translate to turns and if I screw up - well, I'd be screwed.

    Fast forward to current times. We can post an add, pics, video, etc.... Cellphones, Cameras, Pinside, Email, Youtube, make this all happen. With cellphones, I can call, send more pics, vid, text and navigate my way to this deal in hours. It would've taken 3 days for me to post something in the newspaper during the 90's.
    Ask for a picture and in a couple weeks, you might have it?.

    Sorry for my babbling - I remembered trying to get a deal in the past via newspaper (and never found anything) It was always "who you knew".
    I'm so lucky to have things like Pinside that can connect me to many other pinheads (like you).

    Thanks for reading,

    Good stuff Glen!

    This is probably the thing I am missing the most. Between having a three year old and having to be up for work at 4am everyday, I just cant make it out to league nights, can someone please start a Sunday morning league?

    Don't feel too bad, I just "dropped out" of my current league due to my work schedule changing. I gotta get up at 4am too If I'm somehow available, like vacation days, then I'll attend. I'd contact them to get "in the loop", so when you might be available (like vacation), then maybe you can make a "celebrity appearance".

    TJ, FWIW: I played your IM VE at Scandia - it played awesome.

    I got to Jericho on my 3rd game there. It was cool to see a ( AND HEAR ) a VE on location.
    I seen the linked NBA's, but alas, I was alone It'll be cool to play them too.

    Semi - OT:
    I'm working on a MAME Rotary Arcade cab. Anybody happen to have a 2 player, 6 button control panel?

    I have a 2 pl, 2 button control panel and want to upgrade. I can offer it in trade (w/cash as needed), or straight purchase.

    #3366 8 years ago
    Quoted from pinballholder:

    Wow, after hearing about this cab, neat to actually see it. Looks sharp man!

    Thanks. I worked a bit on it this am. I can go from vertical to horizontal in about 2 mins.
    The 6 button CP will enable fighter games.
    With current CP, there's no reason to go horizontal.
    I've been super stoked to be able to have a 21.3" 4:3 LCD. All the games will have the correct aspect ratio with a larger monitor.

    #3369 8 years ago
    Quoted from Dr-Willy:

    I can tell you they do not make a 6 button two player control panel for that type of dynamo cabinet.

    My last Z-back cabinet had a CP that looked the same (except for button layout). I thought that it might be swappable. Just now, I did a google search for "Dynamo Cabinet" and most of the pics are with a 6 button layout.

    Quoted from Dr-Willy:

    They make a 2 player 4 button panel like the one you have (if you look on the backside of the control panel there is room for more buttons, just the CPO is covering them.)

    Currently, my CP is a 2 player, 4 button (2 button, daisy chained to left and right). There are no "untapped" holes underneath the artwork.

    Redoing a custom CP is basically work that I would rather skip on. I know that I "could" rebuild this into a 6 button layout.
    I'd have to re-drill new holes, fill the old holes, sand, paint, etc...
    It almost sounds fun enough to do, if I can't find a 2 player, 6 button for a cabinet that is similar that I could work with.

    The best front end is hyperspin btw

    I've done HyperSpin


    and PinballX (MAME vertical)


    I wanted to try something different (MALA) for this cab.

    I'm not impressed with MALA, but HyperSpin is a messy disappointment for vertical layouts. I'm probably gonna go back to PinballX for this vertical cab.

    FS: Baby Pac Man in excellent condition $1900

    This machine has been a labor of love.
    Here's what I did to it (approx 6 yrs ago)

    Cabinet repaired, sanded, and painted (inside and out)
    New side art applied
    New CPO art applied
    Playfield sanded and new playfield overlay installed
    New plastics installed
    New blue T-Molding installed
    Coindoor sanded and painted
    All metal pieces were soaked in rust remover chemical (can't remember the chemical name)
    CPU board repaired by Tony Paige
    Vidiot board repaired by El Dorado Games
    Captive Ball replaced with blue ceramic ball
    New (used, better condition) Marquee glass purchased
    3D printed topper created with RGB lit up Glow in the Dark Ghost added.
    New (used, better condition) CRT added

    Alot of people helped me get the BPM in this condition, I'd like it to go to someone who will appreciate it.

    I never got around to buying the spinner Decals, or a new piece of playfield glass. Both don't bother me enough to replace yet...

    This game had been at Pin a Go Go at least four different years. It's been a solid working game for a long time.

    I need the space and gotta let it go. If you've never played a BPM, you should. There's alot of rules, the mazes are difficult (they even disappear, F!).

    I added more behind the back box LED flashers today. My wife help me to make a gameplay video and I'm thinking that I don't want to sell now.
    I'd be interested in trading up for another Bally Williams or possibly a Stern plus cash as needed.

    #6754 3 years ago
    Quoted from DavidCPA:

    Just out of curiosity, how did you add the LED to back of the machine? Sounds like a fun mod.

    I wire them up just like an Undercab kit, hooked up to the flashers. It's just located behind the backbox.
    I always replace all incandescent Flasher with LEDs first, to reduce the amperage

    XMen LE is a seriously underrated game.
    It has an insane light show and tons of toys/features.
    I sold a Magneto and repurchased a Wolvie.
    Another cool mod for this game it lighting up the X-Insert and ramps with the GI

    Quoted from drypaint:

    Is that the one that was just purchased out of the flipper room a couple days ago? The high score initials give it away. Unless you know another DPD...

    Yes, it was. I have played about 20 games (and got high score #3 after making it to the wizard mode the 2nd time)
    It's a BEAUTIFUL machine, but I think I'd end up enjoying something else more. If I was more of a collector than a player, I'd be smarter and not let beauties like this go.
    Having High Scores gives scoring goals

    I am selling a very rare Cisco Circus Circus cocktail cabinet. (Serial Number 007)
    It's a working project that boots and all solenoids(flippers, slings, pop bumper) work.
    The display works, but is dim.
    Most switches are not registering, hopefully just a daisy chained broken wire. It will need new Rubbers and a good cleaning as well.

    I'm thinking $160 OBO. Definitely open to discussion.

    Off beat question for the home users...

    Has anyone taken their insider connect kit out of godzilla and put into another game?

    The apron might need to be swapped, not sure if there would be any real challenges. I'd like to put it on different games for a month or so each to see the achievements and get the mode on Iron Maiden that appears to only be on insider connected.

    #7188 2 years ago
    Quoted from dsuperbee:

    If you mean madness multiball (on Maiden), that was available on the prem/Le before the connect.

    I have a Pro, I think it's new to the Pro, but possibly only with the insider connected.
    I also have a Mando and AIQ so the achievements would be a nice to have between the games (even if only for a couple months on each)

    I am going to try it, why not? LOL
    My AIQ Pro has a hole under the decal for the scanner and the port has a blank ethernet inside the port. If it seems to work, I'll just peel off the decal.
    I figure Mando will have the same hole. Hopefully Iron Maiden will have something similar

    V1.10.0 - November 18th, 2021
    =============================
    - Insider Connected - achievements added. see achievement list on https://insider.sternpinball.com
    - Can I Play With Madness - mode has now been added to the game if you are connected to Stern IC
    - Attract - updated Legacy of the Beast tour dates for 2022

    - Adjustment Changes:
    - added "MADNESS MODE ENABLED"
    - added "MADNESS BALL SAVE TIME"
    - added "MADNESS BALL LOCK TIME"
    - added "MADNESS EXTRA BALL STAGE"

    Sweet Baby Jesus!!! THANKS!!!
    Perfect timing, my cutters were in my hand about to start removing zipties,but this is way better than moving the scanner.

    #7193 2 years ago

    I bought the dongle, 16gb card, Rj45 splitter, Rj45 coupler for roughly $45 after tax with free Amazon prime shipping. I need to buy or find ethernet cables to do the job (maybe $15?)

    Each additional game from that point on is only going to cost $30 + ethernet cables. Only 1 game will be able to connect at a time and there will be multiple ethernet cables running from GZ to other games, LOL

    This is saving a home user $140 and doesn't buy an apron or the scanner. If someone could source the scanner for cheap, this would be more of a ideal "cheap DIY mod"

    I'm looking to trade a routed, well modded LOTR for something different.

    Colordmd
    Bent Plastic Glare Guard
    Path of the Dead mod
    Fully LED'd
    Speaker Lights
    Speaker grill Ring embellems
    Undercab LED Flashers
    Behind Blackbox LED Fashers
    Behind Cabinets LED Flashers
    Upgraded flipper coils - can easily make the ring shot.
    Ring Decal
    Spare jump ramp
    3 Cliffy protectors
    Arwen plastic protector (molded slide ramp to prevent ball drops)
    Several small characters added.
    Manual and several extra characters
    Lollipop rails
    Couple extra LEDs to brighten playfield areas
    NVRam

    The playfield looks and plays great.
    The playfield characters that had swords have lost their swords in battle.

    The cabinet is the worst part. Dings, scratches, touchups, and lockbar holes.
    In a lineup, it's not that noticeable. The game play makes up for it.

    I can add a really nice Golden Tee Fore Complete Arcade for the right game.

    Thanks for the invite Marcus, I have my Mom and Wifey with me and they are having fun gambling but aren't into playing pinball (like myself)
    I had a blast at Press Start arcade - got my @$$ kicked by some mean pin. They were all in top condition (Premiums with toppers, Blades, mods, etc) playing fast! I was there a few years ago and it's grown / gotten better.
    Will try to convince the ladies to do a pitstop at Das Flipperhaus on the way back, it'd be a perfect opportunity.

    In light of today's announcement of NIB price drops, I'd like to offer my Modded HUO AIQ Premium up for trades for a HUO Modded Rush Premium in similar condition. It's running the latest movie code and has less than 1k plays.

    Mods include :
    PYM Building
    Capt America Lit up shield
    Lit up Ramps
    Back Panel Flashers Modded
    Mezel Mods Sanctum
    Mirror Blades
    Shaker Motor
    Knocker
    Flipper coil upgrade w/Fans
    Colored Titan Rubbers
    Ant Man Scoop Light
    Custom Instruction Cards
    Clear Plastic protectors (Slings N Inlanes)
    Hand Painted Glove
    Cheap Avengers Topper (Removable)
    Subway Mirror Mod

    Chameleon Powder Coat (Prismatic Universe with Clear Vision)
    - Legs
    - Rails
    - Hinges
    - Lockbar
    - Shooter housing
    - Speaker/LCD panel

    A little FYI, the subway had issues when I got it. It gave out multiball when not supposed to. It didn't hold the locked balls properly and was just kinda whack. I had spent quite a bit of time getting it to work perfectly EVERY time but it has a rubber screwed into the subway as a ball guide. It's not visible unless you hover above the playfield about 3 feet.

    Quoted from TronGuy:Hi everyone, I have a 100% functional display that I just pulled from my Stern NFL. I will get more pictures later, if anyone is interested.
    It is just the dmd display that is for sale. I truly have no idea where to price it, so I would appreciate any input. Here are a couple of pics of it working.[quoted image][quoted image]

    I've seen them between $65 and $150 working. I'd price it between $80 and $100.
