I have a Fish Tales and Batman Forever that i will be looking to trade shortly. Going to clean them up first and possible led them not sure yet. Im in Redding, Ca but can meet up if the distance isn't to bad. Send some trade offers for other pins, i dont really have anything particular in mind, would love to get my hands on an avengers though. Ill get some pics up after i clean them up.
Quoted from mrgone:are you thinking about bringing them to pin a go go? that would be a great place to sell/ trade. that and I have not played Batman Forever. see you at pagg.
Ill be at pagg but aren't bringing any pins. 3 friends want to go with me so we are car pooling which leaves no room for pins,
Quoted from mrgone:are you thinking about bringing them to pin a go go? that would be a great place to sell/ trade. that and I have not played Batman Forever. see you at pagg.
Guys ive been thinking and if someone from my area is gonig down to PAGG and has room, i would let them take my Batman forever for the show. As long as they are a known trusted member of the site and aren't going just take my game and i never hear from them again lol.
Quoted from fattrain:Maybe check with user KenPin. He lives in Redding as well and I believe is coming to PAGG.

Thanks fattrain i will send him a pm.
I have a batman forever for sale. Will be posting pictures tonight / tomorrow. Game is located in Redding, Ca and I am looking for 2400 OBO. It just had a light shop job on it, where i cleaned it, replaced all rubbers with super bands on flipper bats, replaced flipper bats, flipper springs, flipper bushings, also replaced some coil sleeves. Put the upgraded wiring harness in for the DMD display that sega recommands in their service bulletin. It also comes with a set of NOS clip plastics and service manual. Game places great. Has some light wear around the flipper buttons that could be covered. Does have a gouge / chunk taking out of the front of the cab on the upper left corner by the lock down bar. Well get pics up, pm me if interested or have any questions. Also feel free to pm me with trade offers.
EDIT: pics are up please see my forsale thread here and let me know if you have any questions.

Quoted from Mycal:I put in a bid yesterday but quickly bowed out. Received an email this morning from the seller stating that it will be put up again. "It looks like the buyer got confused and didnt know I was based out of Redding CA so im re posting a second chance offer on the AC DC Pin if your still interested in the machine." Strange because the listing was for Sacramento.
Those pictures do look remarkably similar, hmmm curious.
Ask where in redding he is at and i will go look at the machine in person for you if you are interested. I saw the posting was for sac, i think something is fishy here.
Although in the ad it does say its at his warehouse in redding ca. Ill have to contact him and go see what he has.
I just sent him a message on ebay asking to look at the game and any other machines he has for sale.
Quoted from practicalsteve:I'm on my phone so I can't link to the ads, but between that fathom in redding for 2k and the other ad someone just put up for the CPR playfield and plastics you could pretty much make an amazing example. If money is no object.
Yes! Buy my Fathom 
Thanks Hjbondar, sorry i didnt get to meet up with you at pin a go go that whole day was crazy for me. If you are going to CAX lets have a beer together, seeing how pin a go go didnt serve this year.
Not sure what happened to it all, but scandia is where the scammer worked that was screwing people out of quite a bit of money.
Quoted from scasey:Anyone here get the RCT, RBION, Monpoly and LOTR for $5600 total from the Operator in Sac? Nice pickup.
as it always does it turned into a bidding war....... not sure the end sale price, but it was a lot higher then 5600....
I have a Stern Stars Project pin for sale. It is over all in clean shape, the cabinet looks like it has been repaited at some point however. The game powers on, gi lights come on, but no displays light up. The boards over all look clean, and the playfield also looks nice, just needs to be wiped down.
Im not sure all it needs. I need to make some room in my garage and just don't have the time to take on this machine at this point. Would like 300 for the pin. I will get some pix posted up this weekend.
Quoted from practicalsteve:Hey Sosage
What are other good ways locally to look around for arcade cabinets?What if you wanted a mame type set up but were more interested in emulating earlier games and wanted a trac ball?
Or if you are handy with tools and diy'er build a cabinet. You can have it knocked out in no time. It took me about a month to complete this, working on it only on free time but it was designed to fit a specific place in my house. It houses a 27" led acer monitor, has the 2 player street fighter setup mentioned above along with a track ball, a dedicated 4 way for games like donkey kong and pacman and it also has a set of guns for games like area 51.
here is another pic of a duplicate one I built for a buddy of mine. His is painted black and mine is white.

if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Quoted from mrgone:Anyone going to join in on the feeding frenzy at the c/l sale/ silent auction on wed?
2,000 for a tspp or potc.
2,100 for spiderman.
For anyone that goes to this please post the prices everything actually sells for. I feel like they under priced everything on purpose to draw a crowd and start a bid war
Quoted from Xscrapiron: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.
I was interested in a bunch of the arcades for sale for my route I am putting together. I found out about the ad this morning (3-4) at 8:30am and the games went on sell at 9. I knew I didn't stand a chance. I saw they were open from 9-1 so at 12:30 I called and asked what was left, cause if some decent stuff was still there I would have made a early morning trip. I was told at 12:30 every single arcade piece had been sold.
Posting this a little preemptively to try an get a deal rolling. I have a ST:TNG coming in this weekend that I really have no interest in. It is a routed machine (weren't they all for the most part) Over all is pretty clean. I plan on shopping it out and looking for a cash deal or a trade. Cash price will be 3800, or I will trade for an Avengers pro straight across or a LE Hulk edition with me adding some cash. Pm me if you are interested and I will get you some pics when it gets here.
Selling off two project games. A Williams Hyperball, and Stern Flight 2000. Hyperball powers up and plays, but needs some work on the handle / fire assembly. Flight 2000 needs some wiring work done with the rectifier board, game powers up and has gi lights, but nothing else. Both games are in great shape cosmeticly and the flight 2000 backglass is also in great shape. Looking for 700 for the pair firm. Need the room so not interested in splitting them up at this time.
Quoted from dsuperbee:Get yourself some Naptha too!
pretty naptha is now illegal in Nevada also.... Im milking the last of what I have....
Quoted from dsuperbee:Nope. Got a bunch there about three weeks ago.
dang I guess ill have to make a trip
Quoted from boogies: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.
1442964001450-893306610.jpg
I can tell you they do not make a 6 button two player control panel for that type of dynamo cabinet. 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.)
Quoted from boogies: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.
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.
Dyanmo cabs and z back cabinets all have control panels that look identical, but they are all different sized cabinets and the control panels don't swap between the different cabinets.. From your pictures I am assuming your control panel measures 22" and some change? that appears to be the smaller of the dynamo cabinets, I used to have one and searched for a 6 button layout like you want and after hunting and hunting and some research discovered none were made for those cabinets. Your cabinet looks like an HS-1 from the pics, the cabinet you want is a HS-5, those have the 6 button panels. You could always fill and redrill, actually if you want a 6 button layout that is really your only choice. Here is a link to some info on the different cabinet styles.
I am headed down to san jose for the weekend today. I plan on hitting the pacific pinball museum, are there any other really good places to play pinball?
Yeah I know about pinball map in fact I'm the admin for the Redding area, I was mainly asking here cause knowing my luck I would pick a location and it would be a dive lol my going to try and check out a couple of the places listed above thanks guy!
Looks good. So if I understood it correctly you just have rotary games on the cabinet? The best front end is hyperspin btw 
Selling a ST:TNG. Here is a little bit about what I have recently done to the pin
Rerubbered entire playfield with new white rubber, yellow on flippers.
Novused entire playfield, including removing all the ramps (would say it was about 95% stripped down for cleaning.
Replaced every GI light with a new #47 incandescent, replaced all inserts with new #44 and #555 incandescents
Replaced all flashers with new bulbs (I ran out of one type of flasher so on the right hand side of the borg ship it has 2 white led flashers in it)
Replaced all lights in the back box.
New GLM Trough Opto Board set
Cliffs on the neutral zone hole, as well as the catapult launch area
NOS Sling plastics installed.
Im sure there is more. Looking for 4300 OBO, possibly open to trades, pm me what you have. Pix can been seen here.
Quoted from PinDescabarian:Where do I begin..... Coil locks. DMD not working. Couple of wires need to be tracked and attached to driver board. Ball not ejecting from ball eject. ?????? Other than that it is a really nice table.
Not trying to be a dick in any way but if you can't get it going please me me a price if you want to sell. I've been looking for a project Indy for a while.
Quoted from nvu4prod:I'll give them a call Cheddar, see what price point they'll give for a bulk order.
id be in for some if the price is right too.
Im thinking of getting rid of a few games, here is what isup on the chopping block.
Batman Forever
Back to the Future
Super Mario World
Street Fighter 2
If anyone is intersted in any of these drop me a pm.
Quoted from Gorf:I'm bringing a Whitewater and Cactus Canyon. Both are shopped and in excellent condition .
Are these HUO machines? Can you sent pics without the lollipop rails?"
IdahoRealtor I would be extremely careful posting a note like that about paying out a cash prize. That can be considered gambling and if the wrong person walked into your location could be very bad for both the location and yourself..... I would figure out a way to call it something else.
Hey guys, in case you dont see the other thread ebay is running a 20% off coupon today, save up to 100. I bought a set of altek boards and save $93 coupon code PICKDADSGIFT

Was this the one in the pingolf tourney at GSPF? If so i played it in that tourney and it was nice!
Quoted from ThatOneDude:Did someone on here pick up that junk Judge Dredd that showed up on Facebook and craigslist?
Yes it was updated as sold
Quoted from pinballholder:You have a typo...PMing you
also note from my understanding (talked to Chris last week) he isn’t doing any runs until the end of June. And he said he doesn’t know how many more in general he will do after that as he is getting married and his bride to be wants him home and not on the road. Which is understandable. He said he might try to do one trip a month and just line up a trailer full of games at a time.
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:It's definitely a charity fundraiser. Nobody is trying to fleece the community. Got this quote from the store owner:
"The fund raiser is for the Poison Apple theater. They help introduce kids to theater, acting and various aspects of a play. They needed to raise funds. They do a lot in terms of keeping kids productive and in a positive environment. So we thought we would help them out."
I'll be there with my $10. Hope to see some of you there. Thanks.
You own the pins there right Bryce? Very cool of you guys to do this. I hope you guys raise a ton of cash!
Quoted from Reznnate:PINSIDER WARNING!! Don't buy from jamesbon1 (Adam Numark, 415-xxx-7964, Novato area)
Somehow he has good reputation here, but he sold me a routed Wonka LE as HUO immediately after picking it up from Ayce gogi arcade. Playfield is chipped around front posts, Invisiglass is missing , and game has somewhere between 10-12k plays on it. Ouch.
More details...
He contacted me over text because I missed out on a prior Wonka LE he was selling the week before (described as "Like new out of box and very clean, home use only condition. Minimal home use only/very low plays. No playfield issue or any issues."). He was very aware that HUO and condition matters... I asked him about HUO precisely because it's a short-form way to assess condition of a <1 yr old, expensive game.
He was going to deliver ~8pm but this turned into ~10:30 and after unloading the game in my driveway, with the pandemic, I told him he could leave. Shame on me for accepting his word and the game without close inspection... but it's a JJP, 9mos old, HUO, and he had good rep here!!
I gave him 2 full weeks and a dozen chances to do the right thing. I contacted him the very next morning about misrepresentation of the game (you can see # of games played in logs and the LE# in social media pics @ Ayce for godsake !!!). I asked him to take it back and re-sell to someone else. I offered to pay for his gas and a rental fee depending on when he could come get it. Then he blocked my phone. He did send me a message on pinside saying I got a great deal, game plays fine (it does), but he couldn't afford to re-sell. And he offered me $150 to stuff it and not leave bad feedback for him. His wife Zita sells games on facebook as well. I've been told at least one of the purchased HUO games somehow had earned over $2000...
Anyway, if you choose to deal with him, good luck.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
I would also make a general pinside thread with this info. Someone may buy a game from him and have it shipped and not check the NorCal threads. Put his user name and real name in the thread title. This has been done many times in the past and has chased users off this site.
Still have this brand new in box UNIS Pong Table. Need to move it to make room. Come get it for $2000, over $1500 off buying elsewhere.
Link to website incase someone doesn’t know what it is.

Edit:this is now sold!
Quoted from PtownPin:These look really fun...wish u were closer
Chris Fox can bring it to you. He has a trip planned at the end of may and will be at my house picking up another game going south so he could easily load it up.
Have an Iron Maiden pro going up for sale Looking for $4700. Will be getting pix in a couple of days.
Chris Fox will be at my place next weekend (5th/6th) and could take it with him if a deal is made in time.
I have a Raven in decent shape. It boots up and plays, however does not have any sound at the moment. It came in as part of a combo deal and i really have no interest in it. How does $500 sound for it? You can pm me for a few pix
Added over 4 years ago:This is now sold
Have a pair of projects i looking to move. Have a gold wings and rescue 911. Both games are complete and in overall good shape (gold wings is in better shape then rescue 911). Both games turn on, however do not boot up. I havent looked or messed with anything, figured i would try to move them at a decent price for the pair of them. $2000 for the pair. Pm me for pix if interested.
Quoted from jorge5240:Can’t make a bad choice unless someone talks you into stranger things! Lol
Quoted from dsuperbee:Just a friendly fyi:
The batman 66 in the cl ad below is NOT HUO. It was on route at coinop in SF.
