Quoted from Da-Shaker:I was told 1 or 2 weeks.
I'll be there for hours when it arrives!!
Quoted from Da-Shaker:I don't have an arrival date yet, but should be soon. I'll send a post when it arrives.
I'll keep my eye out! I'm heading to Vegas all next week, so hoping it'll be in by when I return!

Came across this auction on CL. Abandoned movie theater public auction in Los Banos with a couple dozen old pins. Starts the 29th online.

Quoted from Da-Shaker:That's tempting!
It's gone. I bought it!
Quoted from Da-Shaker:Congrats! I didn't think it would last. Fun game
Thanks. Never had an em before.
It's pretty beat up but everything works it seems. Just dirty. Don't know how much effort the playfield is worth in it's condition, thinking about cleaning it up throwing a pf protector on and calling it a day once i get the ball count and bonus units cleaned up.
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:It likely took tens of thousands of plays to become so worn. Some hundreds of plays you'll be putting on it are unlikely to make it any worse. I'd just clean it gently with naptha, put in a new ball, install new white rubbers, call it a day.
83,000 something lol. This thing has seen better days.
It's definitely getting naptha cleaned and a new ball, but I wanted the playfield protector to eliminate the effect of the cupped and sunken inserts, not to protect as it's already pretty rough. 100 bucks seems better than hours of repairing a planked and beat up playfield to get a smooth ball roll.
Quoted from Da-Shaker:Try to flatten your inserts. Hit them with a hair dryer and see if they loosen up. Once flat, put some epoxy on the inside. Try some clear striking tool epoxy from www.jrfiretools.com.
Haha shameless plug much? 
Can you elaborate on that? Do I need to remove to flatten? I've only read about filling with 2pac as per Vid. Just SO many inserts are both sunken and cupped. Seriously this playfield is rough in so many ways. Maybe should have talked the guy down lol
I'll post some pictures.
Also how's your JP playing? Been thinking I need to convince my family we need to go see a movie this weekend
