Hello NorCal pinheads... I wanted to see if anyone here is getting STLE?

I was in on it, but for a handful of reasons got out. I'm very interested to see/play the game in the near future.

Thanks Kerry

Mike... Congrats on your new STLE (arriving soon). I would love to take you up on stopping by. Let me know when it arrives.

Thanks Kerry

dsuperbee... hope you recover quickly.

Your pinball hobby is too heavy, maybe you should switch to stamp collecting!

NorCalRealtor... great idea to switch subject to PAGG.

Old topic was discussed way too much.

PAGG is always such a hit!

Kerry

That is/was a beautiful backglass indeed. It would look awesome framed in a game room or office. Nice score!

Road Show in the East Bay Area $2500.

sfbay.craigslist.org link

Sean...Very nice offer!

WOW genex... what an AWESOME building that is! Very cool indeed!

Hello Pinheads & Arcade People...

I know this is a little "off topic" (not pinball related) but I wanted to reach out to you. I'm looking for an upright driving game (Cruis'n Exotica, World or USA / Rush / Off Road / Need for Speed etc). I don't have the space for the full sized sit-down version.

If you know of anyone looking to part with one... let me know.

Thanks!
Kerry

Nor Cal located / East Bay Area

I have the following games I'm looking to sell or trade;

1990 Bally's Pool Sharks pinball
1990 Mousin Around pinball (maybe / on the fence with this one)
2004' Incredible Technologies Golden Tee 2K; in dedicated cabinet, 4-player golf game.

I'm interested in 90' Data East Simpsons pinball and upright (not cockpit / sit-down type I don't have the space) driving game, like Cruis'n Exotica, World or USA or Need for Speed (+/- cash) what ever is fair.

Located in Northern Calif (East Bay Area)

Daddy-o ... I now have 2 Pool Sharks. So yes, I'll be moving / trading one for another 88-90' pinball. Really interested in 90' Simpsons.

MrGone... Yes that's my Mousin Around. I paid a premium for it. They don't come up often. I just posted it today and have had a ton of emails. I need space as I have (3) games coming soon (TH SE / MMr and AMH).

Looking forward to hooking up with everyone at PAGG in 4 short months

Hello Pinsiders...

I have the need for a new or used DMD display for my Fish Tales. If used, it needs to be 100% working, with little to no burn.

I could buy brand new at MAD Amusements for $165, link here: http://mad-amusements.com/product.php?id_product=236 However, I just don't like his business practices with people getting ripped off (many Pinside posts regarding this).

If you have an extra new, or used DMD display you would like to sell... my Fish Tales will "Thank You"!

Thanks.
Kerry

I'm not moving... just buying another home nearby.

Actually I would prefer this home as it has a 4 car garage. My wife says "no fricken way".

Thanks for the interest on my Metallica "Master of Puppets" LE #156.
It went to a pinhead who has 5 great (now 6) pins.

Welcome... There are a lot of great PinHeads here in the Bay Area.

Be sure to go to Pin-a-go-go & CA Extreme.

You're welcome to visit and play / talk pinball. Send me a PM. Maybe I can arrange a few locals to come too.

Hello Pinheads... is there a BM66 on location anywhere in Northern Calif? Preferably, East Bay Area (San Jose to Concord).

Thanks dsuperbee!

Sac is approx 100 miles away for me. Hopefully someone will know of a BM66 closer to me, in East Bay Area. If not, next time I'm heading out to Lake Tahoe... I'll hit up Coin Op.

Kerry

Thanks again!
Kerry

Good tips... Thanks Gene!

I just sold my Toobin' $500. Didn't know there was that much interest in it. I will say, it's a lot more fun with 2 players.

We'll be there again this year and plan on bringing;

ST-TNG

It's a great event and an awesome cause. Be sure to attend!

Hello Pinsiders...

I have (2) Rush the Rock driving games. Both were working, but now not. I'm not sure why. They were at our vacation home in Lake Tahoe, but we recently sold it. So, they are now with me in Danville, Calif.

I'm open to a reasonable offer for the pair.

Let me know.
Thanks!

Wow Harley... I just read this. So sorry to hear this news.

Hello Pinsiders... I just wanted to share this story;

Yesterday, I can’t believe I bought back a 1990 Funhouse, I purchased 23 years ago for $800.

Long story short; I’m a Real Estate Agent / Broker who sold a home in San Ramon, CA to Jeff & Cindy E. in 1994. As a “House Warming Present”, I purchased a Funhouse pinball game for them (only about 3-4 years old) for $800. I often give my clients pinball games for house warming presents.

I’ve been recently looking for a FH, and found one fairly locall (70 miles away). While talking to the owner (Mike), he has owned it for 10 years, I asked him the history. He said he got it from Jan E. in Minden Nevada.

I knew Jeff has a sister named Jan and because their last name is so unusual… I asked him about them; he said "Yes" she got it from her brother Jeff E about 15 years ago as a present.

WOW now full circle; It’s been HOU for the past 23 years and I pulled it off the route, at only 3-4 years old. I’m stoked to get it back, as I have already purchased a new playfield / new NOS plastics / new Translite / 5-decal set. The only thing left are to buy new ramps.

dsuperbee... Congrats on your FH project.

Mine has to wait a bit, as I have 2 games torn down; Bad Cats & DINER. Diner is next. But can't wait for FH.

Agreed! I could only stay for about 45 mins... however, had a chance to meet some new pinheads and catch up with a few older guys.

Thanks again for the nice event!

Kerry

arcadenerd925...

You can easily make a stable rotisserie out of threaded 1/2" metal pipe for less than $100. I built it and it works good. Mine is tied up with Bad Cats on it. There are several threads on pinside with materials needed.

Good luck on your PF swap on FH. I too have FH in the que to been done (PF / decals / new ramps / new translite).

I'm in Danville, not too far from you.

Kerry

This is the exact 1/2" pipe rotisserie I made, for about $100.

Hello rdbronko73...

I have 4-5 pins that I plan to bring to Golden State Pinball Fest (Lodi pinball show) in 5-6 weeks. As a back-up; my ST-TNG maybe one of them. If so, I'll have it available for sale there.

Mikeking... My friend Soulrider911 has used Mass Bros in Livermore.

I think he has a new source for similar products / results and a better price, here in the east bay area. Reach out to him and see.

Thanks
Kerry

MrSanRamon... did you get your MBr in and set up today?

If so, curious what your thoughts are on it.

Thanks!
Kerry

@zaphX.... did you sell your Calif PoTC?

@zaphX... Congrats on selling your 2nd PoTC in Calif. "If" I hadn't just rec'vd mine a few weeks ago, I would be playing yours today

Sorry we never met up, but maybe at one of the Gigs here in Calif (Pin-a-go gp / CAX / SGPF / Phoenix Arcade or the Flipper Room), we will.

You've been a real asset here, to us PoTC owners.

Kerry

Does anyone know if any Oktoberfest Pinball by American Pinball, have landed in the Bay Area, Calif. yet?

Let me know.
Thanks
Kerry

Hello Pinball fans...

Any Bay Area or Sacramento area guys going to the Seattle, Washington "Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show" this weekend, May 31st - June 2nd, who could bring back a pin for me?

I'm happy to arrange something with you, if you can.

Let me know
Thanks

Nor Cal Pinheads...

Do you know how to reach Chris at Sly Fox? The only # I have is 209-493-8871. I keep getting "the customer you're trying to reach, is not available"

Any other # or email?

Thanks
Kerry

@pinballholder... Thank You! I did have a typo. I was able to reach Chris. He said he doesn't go that far up north.

Thanks again for your help.

Kerry

I'm in!
Thanks.

Nice NorCal... such a Great Game!!!

jfesler... I'm hoping to attend that gig on 10/19. Looking forward to seeing you and Hobbit.

Thanks
Kerry

No... that one is in storage. That game I'm into for $4,400 Yes... I love Indy-500!

Thanks Nick... rdbronko73 called me about my Corvette. I sold it last week.

I have a incredibly nice / clean TZ... not for sale yet.

Original cabinet no fade
Apparently home used for 20+ years
Exceptionally clean, nothing broken
all armor powder coated gloss back (Legs, glass rail, head hinges, glass lock bar)

I'm in Danville, near Pleasanton

Kerry

I have a 93' ST-TNG & 90' Game Show for sale or trade (+/- cash, what ever is fair).

I'd consider newer titles like: Houdini / the Getaway HSII / Who Dunnit / Indiana Jones (Williams) / Indy-500 / Champion Pub

Or older system 11's: Bad Cats / Diner / Simpsons (DE) / Mousin Around / Whirlwind / Taxi / Funhouse

Let me know.
Thanks!
Kerry

I have had many dealings with Sean. He's always been a stand up guy to me.

Hello Pinsiders... I'm throwing this out there, to any of those who are mechanically inclined...

I'd consider trading my full sized Chevrolet 2008 Suburban LTZ (top of the line), for pinball(s) (+/- cash), what ever is fair. This full sized Suburban can fit (2) pinball games inside,

It needs engine work, it runs rough. Here's the CL link I just placed: sfbay.craigslist.org link

Let me know what you got. I'm most interested in games from system 11 (1988) to current. I can add cash, for the right game.

Thanks!
Kerry Richard

bsuperbee... Thanks for the "heads-up" indicating it's being held for review. I've never seen that on a CL post. Very strange indeed.

With that said: I've also never seen or been charged $5.00 for making a for sale post. This is the first time I've been charged. Maybe the "held for review" was for them to run my credit card ?

It appears the CL ad is up and running now.

Tanks Again!
Kerry

Hello Pinsiders... just an update, I sold this Suburban today.

My Suburban had 173,000 miles, engine ran very rough, my mechanic suggested it be replaced (~$4,000). I put the ad on CL for $4,995 with explanation of engine's condition and mileage.

I had no less than 60 emails, texts and calls, in about 4 hours. Some offers as low as $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,000 and some who said they'll pay $5,300 / $5,500 and one guy at $7,000. I sold it to the 2nd person who looked at it $5,000. I'm happy and he's happy (Win / Win)

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

Larry's son Andrew, called me early this evening. He was returning calls left on the home voicemail and to people whose games were at their home.

Larry was an awesome guy who took a lot of pride in his work. I think he did it more for the hobby and challenge, than the money. He's done 2 playfield swaps and several deep shop jobs and 2 cabinet re-decals for me.

One PF swap was my Getaway HSII. He asked me what I was going to do with the old playfield. I said I didn't have plans for it. He asked if he could have it for his son (Andrew) for wall art... I said certainly. Tonight, Andrew said he has that PF on his wall and didn't know it came from me. I was tickled to hear that

All the best to their family, in these difficult times.

Kerry

"he was on the case"... yep, dead give away

Don't forget your cost to ship it to them... Armor is heavy & bulky to ship!

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

$400 over the phone? Are you including coin door? speaker panel? metal ramps? score-card arch?

All I know is: my 5-6 games were approx $150 each for what I had done. Those were in gloss black and a set in gloss red.

They also do the 2-tone textured finish. It's similar to the hammered look. What I really liked is their display wall. When you enter, they must have 200-300 aluminum soda cans all Powder Coated the colors and textures they can do. You can take the can(s) outside to get a sun light view.

But: they are temp closed bcuz of Covid-19

Yes... I too called FGW. I didn't see the post. Arcade is Closed

I'm going to be selling my IJ (Williams). I have new RadCals side art, I was going to put on it first. That's not done yet. I may be swayed to sell it before I do tho.

Hello NorCal Pinheads...

Do you have a good source for powder coating the pinball metal armor: legs, lockbar, backbox hinge/plate, glass side rails, coin door, bolts etc.?

Let me know.
Thanks!

Kerry Richard

trk12fire... Thanks for the info. My source is closed for Covid reasons. They're not sure when they'll be back in business.

Kerry

WOW... That's colorful! Not my Style

Thanks for thinking of me

Funhouse is the first game I ever bought in 92'. That's what got me started in the crazy / amazing hobby. I still own FH.

I paid $1350 for it and that was a ton of $$$. In fact, it was the only Christmas present for my 3 boys (7 y/o and twins at 5). I've never spent that much $$$ on Christmas ever.

But I'm soooo glad I did

I was at The Flipper Room pinball swap / flea market as well, a couple weeks ago. Great Event and a Great Time for all.

I had a dozen old / original front glass marques out of slot machines, in my small flea market table booth, in the parking lot. I actually had made matching box frames and plywood backs for all of them, for putting lighting inside them.

I purchased them for the game room home we had in Lake Tahoe, however, we recently sold it. I had from about $35 to $50 in each of them. I had no offers

At the end of the event... I gave them all to Mike and Katie(sp?). They put on such a great event, I was happy to give back and I hope they can put their talents on them and sell them for some good $$$.

Kerry

Correct... John Tennler out of Oakland. He goes by Pinball Picker. Whitey is out of Burlingame / San Mateo area

I have a Taito's ICE (Ice Cold Beer Arcade game), plus new side art not installed. I've owned for about 20+ years. It's an amazing game... but honestly, I'm more into pinball.

I'll throw this out for anyone who may be interested in contacting me... I'd consider trading my ICB, plus cash from me, for your Indiana Jones (Williams).

Let me know.
Thanks!

I agree with Norcalrealtor... it looks really nice lit up.

Surprising how vibrant the colors are when lit. Do you have incandescent or LED bulbs in BG?

I'm in Danville too...

Like ThatOneDude, I'm always available to help a fellow Pinhead who's in need with a flat rubber. Got lots of rubbers (bulbs too) to offer, in a pinch, at no cost.

Throwing this out there...

I've been a collector since 92'. My/our first pinball is/was Funhouse (still have it). I currently own 2+dozen pins, and a few classic arcade games.

Recently, I've been temporarily trading games with PinBuddies, for 2-3 months or longer (EHOH / BSD / Dr Dude / Game Show / Diner)

I own about 10 system 11 pins and think I'd like to own a 90' Radical. If anyone here in Northern Calif (within an 1-2 hours of San Francisco) has a Radical and would be interested in a temporary trade (2-3 months), for something of mine... let me know.

That way, I could / would get a taste of that game and see if I'm really interested in purchasing one.

Let me know with a PM.
Thanks!
Kerry Richard

I own both... you're welcome to come play mine.

I'm in Danville

Kerry

BTW: this pinball deal is not from me.

I know a lot of pinball guys here in the Bay Area. However, I didn't know of another Kerry here tho.

Good luck with getting this sorted out.

Kerry Richard
Danville / East Bay Area

Agreed... a great deal indeed!

Very Cool... Thanks for posting this.

It's on my way to Truckee. I'll definitely come by to drop $$$ (play pinball, drink some beer and get a sandwich).

Hello Pinsiders... I just listed my Funhouse in the marketplace.

Game is located at my home in Danville / Northern Calif (40 miles east of San Francisco).
