I'm up in Portland visiting family and I found this troll in the local craigslist. Castle themed pinball with cute little trolls that pop.

Quoted from mrgone:anyone up for another meet up? maybe playland. I cant hold out until pagg. I needs me some pinball and good conversation with other addicts.
We were putting together a pin crawl for next weekend. But due to the lack of good locations it looked like it was just going to be a couple houses. I'll send a follow up to the SPG group today.
Regardless of what happens with that I am planning a trip with my daughter to ppm the following weekend. You are welcome to come along.

Space Themed arraigned by date
Donkey kong needs to transform into Asteroids, Galaga or something like that.
This needs to happen. To really keep with the theme it needs a space shuttle somewhere in the art

High Speed $500 in Valley Springs
I'm passing on it as I have too many projects right now. It was working when they put it away.
I contacted the seller and got more pics. Here they are:

To be clear this is not mine and I don't know them. I did some leg work and decided against it. So now I am sharing the info.

Quoted from practicalsteve:To save people the trouble, this hard to find game in this very vague ad is a Flash
sacramento.craigslist.org link
Seller sent me a couple of pics, no idea what they want for itimage.jpg 182 KB
image-202.jpg 206 KB
Is that wear around the inserts in front of the flippers? I see flipper wear as well. He asked for any reasonable offer. $100 seems reasonable. Lol
Quoted from practicalsteve:Actually, guy just got back to me and said he would take 250$. I'm not interested at all so please feel free to get it.
I have never liked this title. If I had won the raffle at pagg I was going to choose the EM.
Guy I bought high speed from texted me about a Capcom Carrier Air Wing a buddy is selling. They want 500 obo. I told him vids don't price like pins and not to be offended if someone offers 200. He said it works except for the coin mechs.
Anybody interested in this let me know and I'll give you the guys number
Cool, I sent him a message. If anybody else knows someone let me know.
I had asked a auto paint guy to looks at a pinbot PF I'm about ready to swap. This guy came highly recommended (for his auto work). He said he'd be willing to try and asked me to bring it by. When he looked at the CPR clear he said he wouldn't be able to do any better than that.
For pinbot it's not a big deal. The cpr clear will wear like iron in home use and look great doing it. I didn't "finish" clear my space shuttle either.
But this is The Bride and it will be a 2.0 (assuming it ever happens) and I think I want a little higher quality.

What a year it's been. About this time last year I had 2 pins: Black Hole and a dismal space shuttle that was getting a playfield swap. I placed an ad on this forum looking for a Pinbot I could pick up at pagg. I ended up getting a Pinbot and a Bride of Pinbot and had them ready for PaGG. Since I have purchased 5 more and sold 3. What a crazy year!
I love this hobby and the local pinheads only make it better. Looking forward to seeing everyone at PaGG 2015

Quoted from IdahoRealtor:Hi guys! I just sold house to another pinball guy, so I'm on the hunt for the housewarming gift . The budget is <$1500. Cash in hand.
If any of you have a pin to move in that price-range please let me know. Must be fully-working, player's condition (or better), no EMs. I'm considering the F-14 on Craigslist, but I'd like to see what else is out there. This client is a really good pinball player, so a challenging pin would be a plus.
Thanks!
If you could get this guy to 1500 you might get your buddy to buy another house. modesto.craigslist.org link

Quoted from IdahoRealtor:Hi guys,
I just put my Flash Gordon on location at Phoenix Games in Concord. Per the Pin Map it's the only one on location in CA! Shopping it took forever and I'm proud to save that it now plays tight and right and wicked fast due to the strong flippers and clear coated playfield. It's just one of 15 great pins on location there. It's an excellent pinball destination.
p.s. Good luck beating my High Score of 3.3M. I was in the zone!

Dropped a couple bucks in quarters into this today. Played and looked great. Played kiss for the first time. Sucked at it but got a love gun mb and put up 8mil.
Met a pinhead from the east bay league. Didn't get his name but a nice guy.
This is a great location with a nice selection.

Quoted from Sparky:Anyone making their way down to San Diego area in the near future and be willing to take a machine down and pick up and bring back another? The guy I'm exchanging with and I would split the cost to pay you.
I've had a phone number for years for a guy named Chuck who I was told was a pin mover, but I've never used him. Anyone know if he still does it?
Pinballholder has a guy bringing some games up in the next couple weeks. Maybe he can haul some back for you

Quoted from Jabbles180:I'm a hog if I'm paying to play on location as I usually put in the super saver amount. Like 3 bucks or whatever. Nobody is getting between me and my credits I've paid for. Now if somebody is waiting the can hop in a 2 player or if they are really nice about it, they might get a credit from me.
Pay to play is different. I always offer to let them join and if they decline I tell them how many credits I have

I have a non-permanent trade opportunity here. I have a Bride of Pinbot 2.0 that I intend to do a playfield swap on. The playfield in it is ok and plenty playable with factory mylar. Some of you probably played it at PaGG last year in the main hall. It will be several months (maybe 6) until I get my new playfield and I'm not giving this game much attention lately.
Here's what I would like to do: I'd like to temp swap this for another pin. I would prefer a Theatre of Magic as that is my grail pin and it would be nice to play one for a while. Other pins of comparable fun would be cool too. Ideally we would do this swap in the next few weeks and then swap back at PaGG.

On Site EM Help Needed in Lodi
A few months ago I helped resurrect a 65 Williams Ski Club for the Lodi World of Wonders Science Museum. The machine played great for over a month and lately has been having a bunch of troubles. I reviewed the switches on the reset, score reel and ball count stepper but everything seems to be right. I don't want to start adjusting everything without having the correct understanding of the machine because I think I'll just make it worse.
The WoW museum is a non-profit children's museum so I'd rather not call in a tech that will cost them money.
Does anybody have time that could stop by the museum with me and diagnose the problem? I'd be willing to buy you lunch!
A great local tech helped me out today and we got it working. Thanks all!
Hey Guys, I still need volunteers for Pin-a-Go-Go, we're doing a great job signing up but we need more. Pin-a-Go-Go is a big job and it takes a lot of help. If you haven't already send me a pm with your email and I'll send you the link to the signup site. You don't have to signup but you can browse the available positions and see if something would be a good fit for you.
Thanks!

Quoted from highspeed:Looking to relocate current pins to another room, and get something with a TV show/movie theme. So we are looking for something for sale within a few hours drive of the Sacramento area.
I don't mind anything that needs work, just hoping for a nice cabinet and playfield.
Thanks
I know a guy with a twister. Nice condition all around. It was at pagg.

Quoted from Pinballrus:Hey All - had a NOS Cosmic Gunfight playfield stolen from my front door (was left by the delivery company) in Oakland. Please keep an eye out for it. Unlikely the person who took it knows what it is, probably thought it was a flat screen, but it may show up on Craigslist or something.
I bet I know who shipped it. It's a shame they can take any precautions with their merchandise

Quoted from Paul_from_Gilroy:Bump. Where do Norcal pinheads buy new playfield glass?
I'd like to know as well. Typically we'd order and have glass delivered to Pin-a-Go-Go to save shipping but last year a bunch of us had issues with the glass we had received so it is unlikely we'll do that again. There are posts on the forum on how to get a glass shop to cut the glass and leave off the logo etc... I'd be in on a group buy if we could find the right glass shop to cut them for us at a good price.
Quoted from nvu4prod:I found a glass shop in Palo Alto, just north of the Stanford shopping center off the El Camino that will cut to order. Tempered stamp or not, for around $32.00/sheet. Thought pricing was quit reasonable! Takes around 3 days after phoning in your order.
will you get a deal on 10? I'm down for 2 if you can get them to 25

I've listed my partially restored Space Shuttle. This has been at Pin-a-Go-Go the last 2 years.
Quoted from arcadenerd925:Crap, blew F101 on my recently acquired funhouse.
Changed out spring/coil linkage on left flipper, maybe i knocked something loose.
Problem is, I have no 2.5a SB fuse to replace it, I have a 3a.. argh.
Any particularly handy east bay places to pick up fuses?, not seeing much in stock at the handy dandy lowes/HD
Any help appreciated. I am in Livermore but willing to travel a lil to avoid having to wait for a shipment.
Cheers!
If you still have a radio shack around they have a decent selection. There's also a Frys in Fremont

Quoted from jfesler:Looking for recommendations.
We're planning ahead for a move in the fall. We've got a new home construction happening that's got space for our collection. Yay us! But, the collection will need to move, from Santa Clara to Tracy. Whoops. Shoulda thought of this before getting into this hobby.
Any referrals (or even suggestions) on who can move our pinball collection? I'm looking for secure transport from a ground floor warehouse to a ground floor home (with a typical slopped driveway, and threshold at the door). I can handle leveling once moved, but I'd gladly pay for that too. It's more than I want to tackle on my own; and on the (commercial) warehouse side I don't have adequate insurance to have friends help. I'd rather outsource it to someone adequately equipped, and insured.
I've been scheming on how I get your collection to the Golden State Pinball Festival and then store them until you move.

Quoted from arcadenerd925:Working on my first restore (FH) and figured I would first reach out locally to see if anyone happens to have any of the following to lend?
- WMS Warning backbox silkscreen
- WMS patent lower cab silkscreen
- Upholstery stapler (to do the ground braid, I assume your basic old school staple gun wont cut the mustard?)
Long shot but worth a try.
Cheers!
I have the stapler in Lodi you can borrow

Quoted from loren3233:5th Annual Oktoberfest Pins & Pints Party in Vacaville
Hard to believe we have been doing this 5 years. We will be hosting our 5th Annual Oktoberfest Pins & Pints event at the house on October 6th.
All Pinheads are welcome, we just ask that you RSVP ahead of time so we can plan on how much food we need to purchase. We plan on having Mexican food this year from our local meat market (street taco style). We will have appetizers/chips/salsa/dips etc. Come on over for a laid back day of playing pins, relaxing with other people who enjoy playing pinball and a good beer or two. Good food, good beer and good pinball. The catch for the Oktoberfest event, as every year, will be to bring a 12-pack of some off the wall brand name beer for all to enjoy during the event and have a great time.
The event will start at 2:00pm and last until ??
If you have any questions feel free to send me a message.

I am actually in the country this year and have that day free. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Quoted from pinostalgia:Is that speaker panel on the tx-sector hinged? I'm restoring mine right now and the panel doesn't stay in place.
No and it's a PITA. I would turn it sideways so the left side was on the playfield. That way I still had displays but I had access to the boards
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:Sean is a nice guy from my experience. Polite and helpful. Used to be a big flipper, but I haven't seen his ads in a while. Have people had a bad experience with him?
When I was just getting into pinball Sean gave me a couple boxes of used parts and assemblies. I've been picking parts off if them for years. He always impressed me as a decent guy.

Quoted from drypaint:I have been thinking of doing something like this at The Flipper Room in the parking lot. Weekend has loads of street parking on the circle. I have a huge event tent I was think of loading up with pins to play too. Plus the flipper room would be open with pins as well. Between the lot and the shop I could probably get around 50 pins turned on. Swap meet going, maybe someone can BBQ??? Or I can get a taco truck. Should we talk about this further?
Maybe I could chat with Cheddar, Greg ong and the GSPF crew about possibly having a raffle to go towards next years GSPF too???
Just floating ideas.
All of this sounds wonderful! Let's do it

B
Information he'll give you for free. Parts come installed in some he fixed.
Amazingly great guy thought to be so free with his time to help the community
