Spanish Eyes for sale at the PPM sale. June 23 at the annex.
Hope everybody finds something good there!
Quoted from practicalsteve:I just noticed in an email from the pacific pinball museum a photo where there were some tables with back glasses with what looked like prices. Will there be other stuff for sale besides the listed machines?
I have a hint that there are other tables with stuff on them. Not just the pins on sale but other games. Some folks attended the PPM Members only sale on June 2.

Quoted from jbovenzi:For those going to CAX, I have an empty 1968 Bally Dixieland cabinet. Giving it away for free as PPM got the good bits.
I can bring it on Sunday, so PM me if you like. First come, first served.
Cabinet gone to good home!

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:I bought a unicorn Saturday from an awesome pinsider down here. Its a Mythology from France. It has no head.
I need a James Bond Wide body head, 1980.
I can get one built but just seems easier to ask the community up North. Maybe there would be one at the PPM sale this weekend?
Does anyone know what game this apron came from?[quoted image][quoted image]
As of this morning, only EM heads listed:

And if not that Pinball Pirate has an open house up in Benecia.
Get back to flipping, slackers!

Quoted from jfesler:Our usual Second Saturdays event is this Saturday. However, no bbq this time due to the wife having an "incident" last week. At 2p I'll order pizza for anyone who is around and wants it. Chips/salsa. Plus whatever you want to bring. Beer fridge is loaded but always accepts bottled donations.
And hopefully people showing up is not a strain on your family! As always, the Northern California Pinball Community appreciates you opening up your home like this every month!

Quoted from Flipper_McGavin:If anyone near me has the Williams backbox warning/patent ink screening kit, i would like to pay to rent it from you. It's rather expensive to buy for a one time use.[quoted image]
When I redid my AFM, I just used one of these instead of the stencil: ebay.com link: CACTUS CANYON Pinball Machine BACKBOX WARNING DECAL
Just a suggestion...
Quoted from meSz:How did it work out for ya and how long ago had you "installed" it? Reason I ask is ... JJP used the decal approach on The Hobbit and it sucked. It would curl up. After numerous times of heating it up with a hairdryer and resetting it, it would just curl again so I wound up takin git off and throwing it away!
It's been about a half a year now and still looks ok to me. I don't see any curling or separation yet.
(Of course, it doesn't have the patent numbers on it, but I do not miss them.)
IMG_0361 (resized).JPGQuoted from Flipper_McGavin:That looks good to me. I was thinking it would still look too glossy but that picture makes it look like it was screened. Does the decal extend beyond the very outer edges of the backbox so that it can be trimmed?
I did not put the decal on. Larry Kaye here in the Bay Area did the great work for me.
It looks like it goes all the way to the outer wood on the backbox, so I will guess that there is enough room. Of course, you might want to paint black under the decal before applying.

Quoted from Flipper_McGavin:Are there usually Invisiglass/PDI widebody sheets for sale during May's Pinball Festival in Lodi?

Quoted from jfesler:Our usual Second Saturdays casual event is on this weekend. Saturday, 1p to 9p, in Tracy. Please use common sense re health. Our place is a No Corona zone, but IPA is stocked.
We'll be ordering pizza at 2pm for a 3pm delivery. We'll order based on who's around or let's me know in advance.
Now that we know you have plenty of Alcohol, should we bring Toilet Paper instead?

Quoted from Reznnate:I'm working with Robin to ensure my negative feedback is re-instated in his profile. That should be enough.
At this point, I want to avoid spamming people since I previously made the mistake of posting this in the California for-sale (wrong) thread.
I do not feel that the California For Sale was a "wrong" thread for the information. Nor Cal is preferable, but since this game came from Southern California, it is now a state wide concern. If more games come from that direction then you have alerted more people that this might happen again.
Regardless, I hope that you can get satisfaction on this. This machine should have not been represented in this way.

When the shackles are loosened, I would be happy to come up there to buy. Sorry to hear that the Pin side of your business will be no more.

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Couple Things....
Any News of Cal Extreme Yet??? My wife says no, but I'll drive up and wear a mask if I have to.
Speaking of Cal extreme.
PANIC PARK, PANIC PARK..boom boom boom
I got one and would love some Handles. The most Panic Parks I've ever seen were at Cal Extreme.
So, does anyone have an extra set of Handles for Panic Park??
Would love a set, used is ok.
Thanks
CalExtreme is done for this year. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
Four used playfields: Gottlieb College Queens, Bally Eight Ball, Bally Silverball Mania, Williams Comet.
Will ship if I have to, but shipping will cost more than the playfield! $30 each or all for $100.
Mostly stripped, some minor parts and sockets remain on some.

Added over 4 years ago: All four sold. Thank you.
Quoted from lint:I always loved how Bored as Hell those "College Queens" look on the playfield.
Agreed. I got it because they were "Emo" before Emo was cool. 
Quoted from Sonny6Speed:I will take all 4 please!
Thank you! Just PM'ed you as I might have a buyer ahead of you. Will let you know as soon as I can if it falls through.
Quoted from TronGuy:This is your opinion?
Their website does NOT indicate that it is off for this year.
I do not wish to spread mis-information as the site states that hotel reservations and tickets are on hold for now. So more correctly, like everything else, CAX is on Pause. The committment from Santa Clara County to have the show proceed is what we are lacking now. As of 5/22, the show would not be allowed to take place.
Quoted from pinostalgia:jbovenzi,do you have any gottlieb system 80b parts/misc for sale by any chance?
Nope sorry. I have the guts from three of the Bally/Williams playfields noted. Wiring harnesses, plastics, posts, etc.
Quoted from TronGuy:Well I’m glad the show wasn’t set to take place 5 days ago. I talk to some of the shows organizers daily. I do not seem to get the same info you are claiming to have.
Then you get to be the expert on the show progress. I am very much looking forward to this show if it will happen.
Please keep us updated!

For those of us in Northern California, particularly the East Bay, our good friend Larry Kaye passed away.
Larry was a great guy, gentle soul, just a nice person. He shopped out a lot of our machines here and will be greatly missed.
RIP Larry...
Quoted from Kerry_Richard:Wow... that's so sad. I actually called and emailed him in the past several days with no answers. I was just going to contact you Jim this afternoon, to see if you heard or know anything.
Very sad indeed.
Kerry
Very sudden. I heard from him Thursday night via email. A tragic loss.

I have a Bally Playboy project for sale. I thought that I had a couple of people lined up for it, but no response.
So it's up for grabs.
Nice cabinet, colors pretty bright. Backbox was dropped, so chip out of front of wood on the front frame. I reglued bottom and used staples to firm it up.
Glass is really nice and bright. A couple of spots missing, but overall a keeper without CPR repro needed. All original plastics there (doesn't look like any broken, but some are wavy) Playfield has the usual wear spots in the middle. Use CPR this time and you have an original wall hanger. Williams/Ball late model legs, no gunmetal grey ones, sorry.
Boards are all there, but there was an issue trying to boot them up to see if they worked. (see below.)
THE REALLY BAD NEWS: How do I separate the top from the bottom? Wait, I know how! You cut all the wires and it comes apart! 
Yeah, the harness is cut from the cabinet and the playfield. Your work is cut out for you.
PM me for pictures and price. Thank you for looking.

Quoted from Markharris2000:Last week I worked David at UpKickPinball in Houston to MAKE some custom plastic for a RollerCoasterTycoon mod. He can copy anything you have and can even work from a drawing if that all you have. His laser cut plastic with polished edges look amazing! It took him 5 days to review my drawing, send a proof image, cut the plastic and send it to me via USMAIL and arrived at my door!

This is excellent! I have a custom set of plastics that I need made and this fits the bill.

I was thinking about if there is any interest to have a Flash Mob Swap Meet somewhere in the Bay Area? I chatted with Cheddar about it to float the idea.
It would have to be a park or some lot without a permit needed so we wouldn't have the usual "you can't make money/dump stuff/liability" jazz. Outside with plenty of circulating air and masks to help everyone.
I know that I have accumulated a bunch of parts during the Pandemic that I would like to get rid of. Making some dough to fund other projects is nice as well.

Asking for a friend...
Is there a recommended Video Arcade assembly business in the Sacramento area? The friend wants a Cocktail Table with both joysticks and mini-trackballs. Games wanted to contain Horizontal and Vertical sets. He wants it premade instead of him making from a kit.
I see companies advertised all the time on CL, but any hints are appreciated for a good one.
Thank you!
Quoted from gunstarhero:There used to be an outfit in Folsom, Dream Arcades... looks like they are in Rancho now. Like with any outfit that sells mames and multi cades I’m sure they’re only quasi legit but they have been around for a long time so I’m also pretty sure they’re not fly by night. Not cheap either, lol.
Thanks. At least it's a lead on a company in the area.
And as for the price, not my money, so have no problem mentioning them!

JethroP The game is now posted on Pinside for sale. You help was invaluable!
I no longer need a WPC cabinet, so it's for sale. It started out as a new Whitewater cab, I prepped it and added NextGen Medieval Madness decals to it. Great condition for your WPC or virtual pin project.
Listed in the marketplace for $300, so my loss is your gain. And sorry, no backbox to go with it.

I've had 5-6 sets of armor done at MAAS Brothers in Livermore. They charge approx $150 set. Set being: 4 legs, glass lock-down bar, 2 side rails, 2 back-box hinges and about a dozen bolts. This is excluding coin door, I've not done any coin doors.
NOTE: They are temporarily closed due to Covid-19

Kerry,
Bringing up an older topic. I contacted MAAS and they are reopened for business. Their hours are from 6 AM to 2 PM and will take walk-ins.
I am hoping to bring some parts to them for Powder Coating to see how they do things.

Quoted from MyParagon1979:Yeah, I thought Chris was mostly repairs and sales. Total bummer. Since this is my first machine I’ve currently got pending orders from pinball life, Planetary pinball, Marcos and eBay!!!!! Paying $8-10 for shipping each time. Just wish somebody local (hobby store) carried basic supplies. Just isn’t worth the shipping for a few white rubber rings. Guess I’ll wait until my next order…….
Most of us stash a set of rings at our houses. When the shows come around (Pin-A-Go-Go, Golden State Pinball Festival, California Extreme) vendors like Marco or Planetary usually have a set of rubbers as a variety bulk pack with different sizes. I use those packs to increase/update my stash.
Just my two cents.
