Quoted from o-din:

It took me three different Fireballs to get to that one. It may very well be HOU or only spent a small amount of time on route. Recently it is getting a lot of play.

Looks nice! You're totally over sea-themed pins in general though right? I'll take that Fathom off your hands, help you out with that.

I have a Skateball with CPR silver playfield installed, new playfield hardware/plastics, original perfect backglass, and repainted Pinball Pal Stenciled cab ( ( I did myself), and looks factory..., people who dealt/bought from me in the past know,the machines I sell ARE as advertised. This one is trade bait for now. All offers open, but looking for; Gottlieb 1975 Atlantis, Metalillica (plus cash) Medieval Madness or Monster Bash remake (plus cash), or whatever...open to ideas. Also FT, WW, SS, TZ

#7600 5 years ago
Quoted from TZ:

Any interest in a Bally Playboy that works great as trade, plus cash? Playfield and cabinet are rough, but the game is complete and plays great.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm more interested in a new project (like your Playboy) then a trade in this circumstance quite frankly. As far as trade, I'm more interested in trading up plus $ with Skateball. if you would sell playboy I have cash and when I drive away its a done deal.., let me know please as I am seriously interested because I havent owned a Playboy yet...still on my bucket list!

You can't go wrong if you get one of Blenderhead's machines. His work is done well. I am a satisfied buyer and Strikes and Spares still looks beautiful and is playing great!!
What are you going to get next?

Thanks for the nice comments! Glad to see you still have the Strikes and Spares...great game! I'm working on (3) games now... SM$M, Mata Hari, and Taxi. The MH has an original playfield that is so nice that (at least for the time being) no hardtop planned. I did just repaint the cabinet with of course, the awesome Pinball Pimp stencils. Original backglass with just a couple of small nicks, inscription is on the dagger. SM$M next in line for repaint, has original and suprisingly nice playfield and perfect original backglass. Taxi...beautiful cabinet...no new graphics/paint needed. Ordered new hardtop just yesterday... ...... so only selling Skateball since I have had it the longest out of what I currently have and officially at overstock conditions!

Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

Thats a real nice Earthshaker. Nice survivors from the 1980s are special.

Thank you, and yes it is a survivor. I'm getting pushback from my family members for listing it... my g/f and brother saying I'd be crazy to sell it. Hmm...

#8978 3 years ago
Quoted from xsvtoys:

Yeah, but no buyers for the Skateball despite his best efforts. Of course, it is a nice one, because all of his machines are super nice. I should know, I have one!
I was talking to a guy in the gym that I play basketball with and mentioned I had some pinball machines, and he said, hey, that's great I love pinball machines. Then he went on to say, Earthshaker was his favorite. I don't know if he might be interested, but I'll ask him if I see him. Right now, we are banned from the gym so haven't seen the basketball courts for weeks on end now....

Thanks and glad to hear your still enjoying the Strikes and Spare and Bob Voyage. I actually did sell Skateball...I need to update my collection. A guy in Fountain Valley bought it. Luckily I can go over to "Odin's" (aka Brian) house and play his Skateball!

I have an “undocumented” HUO original Monster Bash with color DMD, mirror blades, invisiglass, led’s and a beautiful playfield and cabinet, although the cabinet could use a bit of touch up at 1 leg and 1 side rail.

Six Million $ Man - original backglass in great condition with no flaking or touchups. Cabinet repainted and looks factory new/original with all original colors. Original playfield in great condition. Has Alltek MPU, Alltek lamp board, LED's, and new repro sound card, works great and set for .50 per play.Asking 2500 or best offer.

Quoted from JakeFAttie:

Am I the only one who feels like there are absolutely no deals left on pinball in California? All the old classics are $3k, the 90's greats are as much or more as the new Sterns, and the used Sterns are barely cheaper than the new ones. I know it's no one's fault, but as hobbiest it takes the fun out the game a bit.
Speaking of which, anyone have a reasonably priced players condition Cyclone they want to re-home?

I just updated a listing I have right now, a Mata Hari for sale. For what it's worth, I'll lose money when I sell it. I paid 2k for it and drove to Arizona to pick it up, then repainted the cabinet (which looks awesome and original), so even with "pinflation" even decent deals from years ago, still people are lucky to break even on many games sold I'm guessing.

#12056 10 months ago
Quoted from xsvtoys:

Yep there are still some that come up now and then from the good guys like Blenderhead. I got 2 from him for very reasonable prices and they are great machines. His Mata Hari price seems reasonable to me.

Not interested at this time in the game (sorry) but where is Santa Ana River Brewing company and do they keep a pinball in their tasting room…and finally how are their beers?

Funny you should ask... as I am the owner of the (5) games currently at Santa Ana River Brewing Company, located in the city of Santa Ana near Harbor Blvd./Warner Ave. the games are: Godzilla Premium, original Monster Bash, Foo fighters Pro, Star Wars Premium, and Earthshaker! Check out LA Pinball Maps as they appear there as well as other places to play. They have a very good selection of beers, often have awesome food trucks also. Tucked away in an industrial area, but worth the search. Very chill crowd and I host a tournament every other tuesday night, unsanctioned, 4 rounds, random matches, typical IFPA rules apply during tournaments. I keep all my games in top shape. Monster Bash was formally home use only before being placed there.

There will be a "Jaws Premium unboxing and setup" occurring as soon as my distributor can deliver!!! Last I heard was "hopefully April"... l wish my distributor spent less time eating out and going to Disneyland and actually delivered the game I ordered klong ago... i have seen "The Captain" and other's able to deliver. i chose not to contact my "distributor" again just yet. Any idea on delivery of Jaws premium's ( from OLD orders) yet?
