I'm here, out of all the arcades there is one working pin, GB...with weak flippers. Everything else is out of order.

I don’t visit Fun world or Funa’rama often, Fun world’s Deadpool and Woz are STILL down???

I have a pretty nice Revenge From Mars. Has a new pinbox / nucore computer, new LCD monitor, LEDs, looks and plays great. Looking for 3k or best offer, add will be up later this week.

You couldn't be more wrong. It takes minimal effort. The sad truth is that very few operators are either capable enough, or are willing to put the time in.

Truth saw an operator throw Lexan over a return lane because the ball kept getting stuck. Rather than wax a playfield

I disagree. Within a fairly decent sized arcade with a lot of traffic, the pins need regular, weekly attention and repairs. Video or redemption games don't need nearly that much attention.
Granted, these are 90s era games I'm thinking of, not games that are brand new off the line.

Depends on the game and the location. Some games in absolute tanks that will work through anything (90’s Williams) others will break if you look at them wrong, and then some are like fine cars, and require constant supervision or a small issue will quickly and exponentially grow

In regards to Lake George, a ton of redemption were also down. One of the arcades probably had a good 40% of games with blue painters tape over the coin slots.. Other one with swipe cards just had red "out of order" displays on many games. I was surprised how many games were down at all of them.

Hm, that seems unusual.
Was this right after a friday or saturday night? The arcades are usually packed then, so I imagine the games take a beating on those two days.

Thursday and Friday afternoon, definitely the most "out of order" I've seen anywhere at one time.
MET still available. Received a lot of trade offers, starting to consider them more seriously if a cash sale doesn’t happen.
Might also be moving my restored BF.

Mike operates Stern games on route and his games look better than a lot of HUO example I’ve encountered. He’s speaking from experience.

Thank you for making my point for me. I am an operator and I service all my pins on a far more than weekly basis. "Out of order" signs are unacceptable to me and if I am notified of a problem it is fixed next day. Glass comes off of all my pins at least once a week. If an operator is not willing to maintain pinball machines weekly then they should just stick to video games rather than make operators that actually care look bad. If you would like to see what a properly shopped machine looks like take a peek here:

This is the level my machines operate at on location. If you would like to play it go to to Roxys' A4Cade in Cambridge MA. It's waiting for you right now. Operators have no excuse not to keep their machines error free. As I said before, it's not that hard, you just have to care.
Gottlieb Monte Carlo
Boots, coins up, starts a game. Drop target reset is weak. Playfield in good shape. Has the topper. $700
Williams Top Dawg and Shuffle Inn Solid State Shuffle bowlers
Project machines, heads are disconnected, back glasses are ok, some paint lifting. Boards appear to be in good shape. Alleys are in nice shape. $300 apiece or take both for $500
Any questions, just send me a message and I'll respond.

Where are your games located Mike? I just wandered through the arcade under Club Casino this past week and found two filthy pins. A Walking Dead and I believe Star Trek if I remember correctly. They were both disgusting. I'd love to play some of your games.
All for sale in market place, pick up 11769 ny
NOS Panthera playfield. Its pretty sweet

Well, since you asked, my partner Mitch and I focus on two locations. We have Roxy's A4Cade at 298 Mass Ave in Cambridge and Flat Top Johnnys' in Kendall Square in Cambridge. Roxys' is a 21+ speakeasy style barcade right in the middle of MIT and just over the bridge from Boston and Fenway Park. Go to Roxys' Grilled Cheese and walk through the meat locker cooler door into an old school 80's style arcade. You'll find two full bars, 35 arcade games featuring nine pins including Addams Family, Stern Star Wars, Attack From Mars, Munsters LE, Batman 66, Medieval Madness, Mario Bros, Monster Bash and Game of Thrones. If you want to make a day of it then after Roxys' go to Flat Top Johnnys which has another nine pins including Iron Maiden, Guardians of the Galaxy, GOT premium, AC/DC, Munsters, Deadpool, AFM, Swords of Fury, and Spiderman vault. The two locations are close enough to walk to or just grab an Uber. Cambridge parking is tough but once you're there it's a blast. In the last year we have showcased high level restorations of Waterworld, Tales from the Crypt, and World Cup Soccer. We will have a beautifully restored South Park in the mix soon and the new Stern Jurassic Park is on the way and will be featured in a launch party in a few weeks. If that's not enough we also have a new COSMIC CARNIVAL on the way!! Check it out and have fun!!!
Still have ACDC premium Luci available. Would trade for a JP2 plus a little cash or wishful thinking a TAF.
Come compete on these gorgeous games this Sunday 8/11 at our Monthly Pinbrawl Tournament at Flat Top Johnny's (1 Kendall Sq Cambridge). 2pm start time, cash prizes, IFPA points, and mandatory fun for all Skill levels

Picked up a Centigrade 37 in trade. Some insert wear and 2 small areas of backglass flaking. Plays smoothly. Too nice for my garage.
I've got room for 1 pin in the house and I'd rather it be a DMD or newer.
PM if any interest. I'll post an ad accordingly.
I have a nice ICB. I bought into the hype on this game, and see why its a quarter eater in a bar, but it does not have me wanting to keep playing.
It has a nice glass and new side art.
I'd love to trade it for a pin or couple of pins. I'm open to working or project games. Also willing to deliver.
