Awesome! I was hoping to go and maybe get lucky but my wife made other plans.

If you go to the auction house web site they have more photos including of inside the machines. They look really amazing and I would have loved to snag a deal on my first table but it was not to be. Can't wait to see the results.

I was interested in Tropic Isle and Surf Champ so I am kind of sad I did not get to attend this morning. I love those 70's styles games and the condition seemed to be high.

Ha, I did not even notice that! Although, as I get closer to buying my first ever pinball machine she would probably rather me "get lucky" in the traditional sense!

Where is the friend located? We need some photos!

I am just teasing! I will make the two hour drive out there someday!

I guess not, lol.

Now I am all excited again, lol! Looking forward to seeing them.

Weren't you going to post some of the starter tables?

If you did not snag it I was going to make it our first pinball table. You got a good one!

You had me at Firesale, lol. Getting a Grail game is always something, good luck with that one.

Three of my favorite words in a post: bunch, games, sale. Let the refreshing begin!

PM Sent!

I mean, how could I resist? I hope someone did not beat me to it! *fingerscrossed*

That's cool of you! If there's anything he doesn't want let me know, I am always looking to expand my small collection!

After Isochronic_Frost looks them over, if one of these three are left I would be interested depending on price. I have two machines in house but they came to me serviced and in solid condition. I would love a machine to learn repairs on, do so paint restorations and such without potentially causing issues with tables that are fine. Thanks ejacques

They are out of Jersey but they travel up to New England frequently. They are doing my World Series baseball machine which they should be dropping off in a week or so.

I am trying to work out our schedules to go look at and hopefully grab it, lol.

It certainly is eye catching.

What are you asking?

Join the club! I had communicated with the seller, worked around their schedule and agreed to pick it up on Sunday morning. I emailed him on Saturday night to confirm and he responded Sunday that he had sold it to someone else. I looked so sad my wife gave me a hug, lol. Its one of my dream machines and I was so close, lol.

It sure is! I play one at RI Pinball everytime I am there. I just sold another machine the day before, Target Alpha was available and in my town as well. I felt it was fate, FATE! lol.

I have a cherry Jurassic Park: The Lost World I would be willing to trade. Its just too frustrating for my kids to try and complete the modes.

Oh good, do you want to transport a machine from NJ to RI on your way, lol.

Still looking to trade a mint JP:LW for something different.

Oh man, that is one of my favorite Gottlieb machines. Why did I have to buy a vehicle that is just ***that*** much too small to fit a DMD machine in, lol.

Thinking about selling my Astro or Sky Jump (one or the other) if I cannot find a local buyer for my Grand Prix machine to fund another DMD game which my kids play the heck out of. Looking for a Silver Slugger, Wipe Out or Big Hurt locally.

That is a heck of a drive for one machine! I was considering driving my Grand Prix to the northern Phiily area to meet a buyer halfway but that is a haul.

Pinball roadtrip, lol.

You have your privacy setting too high. There is no location next to your avatar and your profile lists your locations as "Unknown, captain!"

Scroll back to post #9063

That should stop those pesky questions in the future, lol.

The Waterworld game went over so well in my house (145 plays in two weeks) that I am looking to add another System 3 machine (Or system 80A, 80B) to the lineup. Nothing beats waking up on a Saturday and the kids are up playing pinball at the crack of dawn! I will be listing a couple machines to help fund the next purchase.

If anyone in the Rhode Island area has any EM playfields (in any condition) that they are looking to move, I am looking to practice my touch up skills on some playfields. Cheaper the better.

Have Sky Jump and Line Drive backglasses available for free if anyone wants to pick them up. See the ads for photos.

Anyone has a Gottlieb SS or later game with multiball in the Rhode Island area? Looking to pick up another game before our Ugly Sweater Party on the 16th. Players condition and money is tight this time of year.

He took it another 45 minutes away from me!

One of my favorites, super fun and very cruel, lol.

Oh man, me and my wife enjoyed playing this last time we were at the Sanctum! Fun game that looked and played great!

I threw up my Buck Rogers for shits and giggles to see if there was any action trade wise. Going to list it on Craigslist as well, see if I can raise some money to buy some of these great machines being posted.

Buck Rogers has left the building, super fast sale. Now to find my next machine!

I checked this out when I was picking up a machine, it is sweet. Its a touch out of my price range but would be a great machine. One of my dream machines.

I’ve been on the lookout for a Bad Girls for a while now.

It is safe to say that most people in New England want nothing to do with Philly at any time, lol.

Some people have their security settings so their location is not shown even if they put one in. Go into your profile settings and go to the Privacy section, make sure the Location is marked accordingly.

Another plus is I can look at mrgregb123 and say, "I lived in Cumberland for years, CHS Class of 92!"

There is going to be an Estate Sale in Dumont, NY this Saturday and Sunday which features a couple items of interest.

First off, I don't even think I can afford to walk into this house to shop during the sale, this is well above my pay grade. I mean, what a house, its like out of a TV show or something. Its always strange to see estate sale photos from houses that still have clutter in the desks and end tables, I cannot help but wonder what happened to the family.

Anyways, there is a pinball machines (Simpsons Pinball Party), a Williams pitch and hit machine along with a pool table, Ping-Pong table and arcade machine.

Are they like a Times Square electronics store "Going Out Of Business Sale" that lasts for ten years?

PM'd.

I can squeeze one more Gottlieb system 3 game into the collection next to Waterworld and Cue Ball Wizard. Anyone in RI or the surrounding area looking to sell one? Shoot me a message.

Where are you located?

Anyone want to go in and split it? I’d like to snag Rack Em Up.

Never hurts to ask.

Looking for a Gottlieb System 3 machine in the RI area, if anyone has one to spare!

Just listed my Firepower 2 in the marketplace, $850 or trading for Gottlieb SS.

I had the pleasure of putting a few games on this machine while I was picking up some playfield glass and it is a great looking and playing machine.

How cheap? Where did you dig up 4 bingo's?

Cool, would you happen to have the names? I don't need four but if anyone else wanted to split them I would not mind one to tinker with.

That is a sweet looking cabinet! Very nice item.

He is willing to put in some cash, someone will take him up on it if he is reasonable.

Nice price, fun game. I saw the photos, still cannot believe those are the actual plastics they made for that machine.

Uxbridge, MA

I did not even know there was a Target Alpha at Sanctum. Any photos?

Cue Ball Wizard
Waterworld

Posted up my Cue Ball Wizard for sale/trade. Trying to limit myself to three machines in the basement and it's time to freshen things up. It is a fun casual game that gets the most plays from the non-pinball fans who come over due to the actual pool balls being used, it is a cool visual attraction. I wonder how it would do in a bar with its easy to figure out gameplay. We put 350+ plays on it so we had our fun.

More importantly, who is going to grab the Shaq Attack for $700?

ejacques has some Data East coins doors listed in the Pintastic thread...

Anyone selling a Metallica in the area, a friend is looking for one.

Looking for a Solar Ride in the New England area for the wife. Go figure that's the one she misses.

Someone please take him up on this!

Hey, let me fix that, "Price drop on TWD Premium - need to move it to buy Jurassic Park. Game is mint. Low plays. Come see it today."

Did anyone here snag that Gottlieb Gladiators for $950 up in Mass? That one hurts, I have been on the lookout and was just a bit late to the party.

I am thinking about selling a couple games to fund a Star Wars (Pro) machine, anyone near RI looking to sell?

Nothing that Pinside would want, lol. Waterworld, Stargate, Chinatown... my daughter says I can’t sell Nightmare on Elm Street yet.

There is someone local selling a pair of machines, Kiss (Bally) and Hulk (Gottlieb) in good condition for 5k if anyone has any interest.

I'm not too vested in it, he offered them to me and I am not interested so I figured I would pass it on if someone wanted to inquire about it. He says great condition but I have not looked at them besides a couple of photos he provided (which of course cannot be posted in this thread). They look really nice to me but that's just based on the photos and not an in-person look see.

I have got to post ads for these over the weekend (they are on Facebook and CL) but I am selling:

#freddy-a-nightmare-on-elm-street - $3200 - Works 100% The four plastic claws are broken but everything else is nice, new boiler plant, Freddys head works great, rebuilt the flippers before Christmas (yes, with the System 1 coil stops), LEDs everywhere, signed translite.

#stargate - $3,000 - Works 100%. Small wear where the bomb is under the pyramid entrance but otherwise nice. Rebuilt U/L VUK, handpainted pop bumper toppers, shaded pyramid with additional lighting when it opens, LEDs everywhere, rebuilt flippers w/sys 1 coil stops, new light ring in backglass.

#waterworld - $2,300 - Works 100%, slight wear by flippers where they were misaligned but everything else is great. LED's everywhere, rebuilt flippers late last year, new decals on ramp. I have an extra motor for the Deez. Has single slot Europe coin door but has 20 credits (I have it set for a low replay that you can get on the plunge).

I am trying to finance the purchase of a Jurassic Park Pro, Star Wars Pro, or Deadpool Pro so I need to sell one of the three.

Looking for a Star Wars Pro, Jurassic Park Pro or Deadpool Pro in Rhode Island or the surrounding area.

Messaged him yesterday about it, haven't heard back yet. With the holiday tomorrow I have some flexiblity in my schedule so I am on the hunt!

Thanks for the plug but Stargate went to a new home on Monday (Pinside donation done!)

Sold my Stargate and Freddy. I am now looking to buy a Jurassic Park Pro, Star Wars Pro or Deadpool Pro to fill the empty space in my basement and in my heart.

Looking to pick up this weekend one of these bad boys; Jurassic Park Pro, Deadpool Pro, Star Wars Pro... maybe Iron Maiden Pro. Anyone selling?

That is a hell of a price on the Big Hurt!

Yes sir, you didn’t miss much. It may be the ugliest machine I have ever seen, I couldn’t even bring myself to bring it in the house. I just resold it for what I paid and it’s being picked up today.

After I saw it in person I bought it as a parts game, tbh. Someone local asked if they could buy it and try to save it which is better then parting it out. Not sure how they plan on doing that short of finding a replacement playfield or hardtop.

Not me unfortunately, I was a couple minutes to late. I have been looking for one for a while and boy did it really seem like a legit "fuse issue" based on the description. Could be more than that but here is hoping it was an easy fix for whoever snagged it.

Its just a flipped Eight Ball Deluxe playfield with some extra features. Fun game.

That's what I said! If they had a "standard" art package on it it would sell for twice that. Sometimes cheesy themes keep good games affordable.

Oh man, that is a great price and would be a fun spring cabinet stencil project!

Finally, a machine I have been waiting for at a price I was looking to pay from a seller who does so much for the community. I'm in, PM sent.

Star Trek Pro is a great deal at that price!
