I'm looking for a dead, unrestorable late 80's William pinball machine for a P-roc project. I'm in Southern California. Ideally, it would be a system 7 to system 11 pinball. It doesnt have to have the boards in it, just a relatively intact play field and cabinet.
Just to clarify, I'm not looking for a free machine, I'm willing to pay $200 or possibly a little more.
Quoted from o-din:It sure is! It's also a great way to circumvent having to list a pinball machine in the marketplace.
Educate this newbie... Why would I not want to list a machine in the marketplace?
I am selling my Williams Flash in Tehachapi, California.
This would be a good machine for someone that wants to try their hand at cabinet and playfield restoration, as the machine is very complete, and mechanically in good condition.
Im asking $800 obo for it.

Quoted from dsuperbee:Buy my HS!
Man, I thought you would have sold that by now. I wish I could get the cash out of my Flash, I would love to have a HS.
It looks like I have finally found a home for my Flash. Hopefully it will get moved out in the next few weeks.
I'm looking for a High Speed or Pinbot for around $1000. I know there are one of each on Craigslist, but I think each may be a bit overpriced.
Digging through my stash of pinball parts today, I came across a back glass for a space invaders. (The rear glass with the graphics) I'll post pictures if anyone is interested in buying it.
Quoted from Pinbali:I hate you... I would have bought it, I just picked up my kid from Woodward yesterday. Ugh
Bummer. I find that when it comes to pinball, Murphy's law is in full effect.
Quoted from dsuperbee:Hoping to find a Tommy, hopefully in N. Ca. Only requirement is that the blinders are there and functional.
I know there had been one for sale on the LA Craigslist for quite some time. I don't know it's condition though.
I picked up a project street fighter from jwwhite over the weekend. The dude is on the level. Buy with confidence.
Jasonbar,
With regards to your U20 issue. I fought a similar electrical issue in a friend of mine's Judge Dred a few months ago. You can read about it here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/tech-jd-keeps-eating-uln2803s
We ended up replacing U14, and so far it has held up 3 months later.
I am looking to trade my Popeye. This is a very family friendly machine, that has a very deep rule set to keep the adults interested. It is pretty clean, and works well. I would prefer another Williams WPC era machine. I would love to get a High Speed 2 or No Good Gophers.
It's located in Tehachapi, CA..

I've dropped the price on my Popeye to $1900. I'd like to sell it to a pinsider rather than put it on Craigslist.
Any one interested in a project Space Shuttle?
All the parts are there, and the plastics look to be in good shape (however some are warped). I tried to clean up the playfield, but it is planking too much to be cleaned. The cabinet head needs repainting also. One the plus side, it works and plays well. However, a remote backup battery needs to be installed. I am hoping to get $600 for it.
Quoted from swanng:Agreed. I think the most I ever paid was for Medieval Madness (or maybe it was Tales of the Arabian Nights): if I recall, they were both $2200.00. The ToTAN was a private sale from a collector in Salinas, and I got the MM from Betson off route. Purchased both around 2005-2006.
I don't think we'll ever see prices like that again.
Greg
Yeah, they are not making any more of those machines. Unless the economy takes a huge dive, we may never see prices like that again.
Quoted from Cheddar:But please, if you buy leave the machine on the floor until the end of the show. Nothing is worse than machines leaving friday and leaving holes on the floor.
I can see how that would be a problem. I hope to be able to stay until at least noon on Sunday.
Quoted from rvdv:Selling for a Friend:
Time warp, good cabinet, nice playfield, nice backglass
game was taken apart for restoration project that got stalled
all pieces are there
don't know condition of boards since game was disassembled
name your price ? money will be donated to good cause
pick up or can shipphoto_3_(resized).JPG
Where is the game located?
Man, that looks nice. GLWS....
Quoted from iwantansi:Damn.. that makes 3 TSPP for sale in California
It seems like TSPP and Judge Dredd are coming out of the woodwork right now. I am in the market for a TSPP, but the prices are north of what I want to pay for one.
Quoted from doomid:Always said this would be one of the last to go but Ghostbusters has forced me to put it up. BOP 2.0 by dutch pinball. Took about a year to show up, game is amazing. This is the upgraded kit with color display and upgraded speakers and sub. Works as it ahould problem free. Game itself is full LED includong flashers. Playfield mylar removed befpre i got it, has ballmarks in middle but very uniform. Touchups done around inserts. Cab very nice, no fade and original. Head has some scrapes but nothing significant.
Not sure what to ask...thinking $4800.
I have some gameplay videos i can txt or email. Will ad detailed game pics later today like cabi and pf

I got to play this machine last weekend, and it was pretty nice. Buy with confidence.
Ah cr@p, it looks like the craigslist spammer is back. My inbox got filled with notices of bogus pinball ads again today.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Mrart2u- see you there at PAGG. Look forward to meeting everyone, most for the first time.
I have a very fun Big Guns I'm bringing up for sale. Great system 11, highly underrated.
Fairly cheap compared to many titles these days. Come play it and see if your Invincible!
Dammit, I'm out of room for any new pins. Just to make sure I'm not tempted, I'm driving a small car to PAGG.
That ad looks like it was placed for the Wife's sake. "Gee Honey, I don't know why it's not selling..." Because at that price it will never sell.
Quoted from CaliPinball24:Make me offers for Indiana Jones
You know, I don't think I would provoke this group with an offer like that.
I got to play a Centaur at PAGG this year for the first time. That is a great artwork/gameplay package. I'd have to say at least $2k.
Quoted from seenev:Anyone know of a TZ in good shape for a reasonable price in so cal? I've responded to a few ads but have received no responses.
Check EBay. Some one in SoCal had one listed right now that is HUO.
I'm thinking about putting my HUO TSPP up for trade. Here is what I am thinking...
My game is worth about $4,200. It's in pretty good shape. I bought it from Doomid about 6 months ago.
I'd trade it for:
STTNG, in good condition straight across
FH +$200, in good condition
NGG +$700, in good condition
FT + $1500, unfaded, in good condition
These are just starting points....
Quoted from swanng:Just listed my Twilight Zone for sale with a few extra parts in the Marketplace. First $6,000.00 takes it.
Greg
Man... Once again, one of my grail pins comes up at a decent price, and I am in no position to buy... 
Oh well, I guess I will go play STTNG.. 
Woo Hoo! My space issues are over! Today, I closed on a house that included a 1600 sf shop! Too bad now I don't have any money.. 
Well happy New Years from the snowy mountains of SoCal! I hope everybody is doing well.
Well 2017 has found me with the classic pinball problem: I finally have a shop with enough room to hold more machines, but I can't afford any more machines. I hope someday California pinball prices come back to reality. In the mean time, I will keep working on my beaters, and I hope that by the end of the year, I have to most expensive SF2 pinball in history.
So here is the new shop for those who are interested!
http://imgur.com/a/UfJQE
Quoted from jbovenzi:Very nice shop Uncivil! Hope you are having good luck with STTNG!
Star Trek is one of the machines under the sheets. I've had a lot of fun with that one.
Quoted from Aurich:Nice space! Here's the thing, you can always save money for a pin. They're not cheap, but they're attainable with some patience if you don't have the cash right now. You can't do the same thing with space. I've got a garage for my toys, and that's it. It's not getting bigger, I can't save up for a bit and just get more real estate for a few grand.
You have a good point. At least I now have the space. Now If I could just find a rotted out Funhouse....
I managed to get over to AYCE GOGI today after a meeting. Shane was there, and was a gracious host. I had a lot of fun playing both BM66 and GB. He also has a brand new Domino's Pizza machine. If you haven't had a chance to go down there, it is a great place to play.
Quoted from doomid:TWD Pro anyone interested?
I thought you had a premium? Or is this not the machine in the restaurant?
So I am thinking of trading out my STTNG. It is in pretty good shape, fully LED'd out, and still has the stock display. If I had to put a value on it, I would think about $4,800. What I might be interested in would be NNG +some cash, a Funhouse +some cash, or a Simpsons Pinball Party +some cash (or straigh across for a nice one).
The ironic part is that I traded a very nice Simpsons Pinball Party for this machine. I now regret that decision. I like STTNG, but I have played it enough that it is no longer one of my grail pins like I thought it was.
Ive put the STNNG I have for trade or sale up in the marketplace...
It looks like the next Captian's Auction in SoCal will be interesting. There are lots of pins listed.
Eric,
Is that your flipper football I see listed at Captains?
About the only deals I see go thought there are on pool tables and jukeboxes. They sell late in the action, and for cheap. I just wish I had a way to move a pool table from the auction house to my shop...
Quoted from jwwhite15:Not the plan but something has come up and I need to move 1 if not 2 Pins. I thought I would let the locals know first. Nascar 100% working, clean with powder coated apron and habitrails 2500, RBION just torn down and shopped with cliffs and LEDs 3500, Popeye works 100% with great colors 2300, or a RCT that plays great but needs shopped 2700. I can send pics if you are interested. Thanx in advance.
Bummer dude... I can attest, that is a nice Popeye.
Hey all, I hope one of you California based pinball parts horders can help me out here.... I want to convert my Alien Poker P-roc project from a single ball game to a mulit-ball game. To that end, I needs some parts....
I am looking for a complete ball trough setup from an early williams SS game. Something from out of a Williams system 3-11 that works on 34 volts. I need the entire trough, all the trough switches, both the outhole coil & eject coil, and the shooter lane switch. The ideal donor would come out of a Black Knight or Space Shuttle.
My Black Knight is for sale in the market place.... This machine is signed up for PAGG, and you can take delivery there if you like...
Quoted from SpamMusubi310:Hi Guys,
Anyone going to PAGG this year?
I'm gauging interest for my HUO Star Trek Premium. If there is strong interest and if EricPinBallFan has enough room in his trailer, I might have it up at PAGG.
Check my profile for pictures!
Thanks!
-Mark
I will be at PAGG this year with my BK and my NGG.
There is a for sale thread for PAGG you may want to try posting the machine on to gauge the interest:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-2017-pagg-buyselltrade-thread/page/3
My sister has a nice Surfer, and she has sent it down to me in Tehachapi to clean it up and get it ready to sell. She lives in the South San Fransisco area, and I will be bringing the game back to her in about a month. Is there anyone in the Bay area that might be interested in buying the game? We are thinking of asking $1000.
It has 41k plays on the meter, and is very clean inside. The cabinet has a few dings in it, and I would rate it a 7, and the playfield is pretty clean except for two wear spots. I would give it a 7. The back glass is perfect (a 9), and mechanically it is in pretty good shape (an 8.5). So the machine I would rate at a solid 7 out of 10.
If you are interested, PM me and I will get you some pictures as I shop out the game.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Confirmed.."Dialed-IN" at Lynbrook Bowling alley in Anaheim is a blast.
Lucky guys... Since our local nickle arcade shut down in Bakersfield, it has become a pinball desert....
It's official, I now have my sister's Surfer for sale. It will be in the bay area next weekend.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Second pin trying to get rid of.
Jokerz med project but all there and powers up. Comes with tons of stuff, manual, some new plastics , couple sets of used plastics, extra center lift ramp. New decal and upper deck. Giant box of stuff.
Pm me with phone number for more details. Currently folded up in garage. Will open and get pics by weekend.
Cabinet and playfield players condition. But all in all great system 11 for the price.
$1200 firm, firm.
Thanks.
Having purchased a project pin from Eric before, let me tell, when he says "giant box of stuff", he means a GIANT BOX OF STUFF. He won't let you leave until you have just about everything you need to get the game up and running. Buy with confidence...
Does anyone have an empty system 9 cabinet they would be willing to sell? I picked up a termite eaten Sorcerer this weekend, and it needs a new cabinet.
I am going to be letting my Alien Poker go. It plays great.
Cabinet: 6 out of 10, mainly due to planking paint
Playfield: 6.5 out of 10, some minor wear, and planking. It's better than most original playfields I have seen.
Mechanically: 8 out of 10, sometimes the drop targets don't score, but the boards have been built-proofed.
Back Glass: 8 out of 10, some chipping around the displays
Price is $750. Located near Tehachapi, California.
I had to visit the State Architects office in down town LA today, so I got a chance to stop by Ayce Gogi at lunch time, and check out the new lineup. He as both the new Guardians of the Galaxy and TNA available for play. I only played one game of Guardians, as it feels alot like most of the new stern games. I did almost put $5 into TNA. That thing is fast, and a tough play. I was only able to destroy one reactor in all my games. Given the music and the vibe of the game, it feels like the grandson of Pinbot.
Man I wish I could get down there more often.
Quoted from doomid:I saw your mugshot on Dialed In..
I guess putting UncivilEngineer in the name spot was a giveaway.
Well I finished one project... So now its time to finance or find my next one!
Bakersfield, CA
Anyone interested in a Demolition Man? It works well. Playfield is in decent shape, but the cabinet is kinda rough. I was thinking of asking $2,500 for it.
DM has hit the marketplace.... I can deliver to Expo, as I will be there Saturday.
So I think I have finally lined up enough funds to go looking for one of my grail machines. So here is my official 'I want it!' ad...
I am looking for a restoration candidate Funhouse.
If you look at my posting history, you will find that I completely re-did a SF2 over the last two years, and I am hoping to do the same with a Funhouse.
So what do I mean by a restoration candidate?
1. The playfield must be complete (including Rudy)
2. Ideally, the game is still assembled. However, I would consider a game in pieces as long as the playfield is still assembled.
3. The cabinet can be faded, scratched, and gouged. I just don't want anything with delaminating plywood, or water damage.
4. The backglass/translite can be faded, or even completely missing.
5. The playfield...This is where things get tricky. I know there are reproduction playfields out there, and they do occasionally come up for sale. That said, I absolutely would love to buy (and am willing to pay more for) a restoration machine that would include an uninstalled reproduction playfield. However, as long a the playfield is restoreable (minor wear marks, no prior touchups) I will consider it. Rudy must be complete.
6. Boards/electronics.. It does not need to work. I can be missing boards, but no missing/hacked wiring harnesses please.
7. Price: Obviously I am not going to pay you the same as you would get for a nice fully functional Funhouse. I am willing to pay $3,000-$3,500 (cash on the glass) for a complete game.
8. I am not interested in shipping a game from out of state. Ive had bad experience with shippers, and am more than willing to travel as far south as San Diego, and as far north as the Bay area.
I have listed my LOTR for trade/sale. I need to raise some cash to pay for some other projects, so I am looking to trade this one down. I am also willing to sell it outright.
I picked up a Rowe CD100B jukebox I am looking for some parts for. Does anyone is Socal have a working CDM3 CD player they might be willing to sell? I think the servo is toast in mine. I will be in the LA area on Saturday, and am hoping to come pick one up.
I sent a PM regarding the HS plastics.
Quoted from ctl723:Cleaning house this weekend. I can post pics, but I'd rather you inspect/buy in person. Located in Santa Clara, 95050.
1. Nip It - $800
* Project game. "It was totally working before I took it apart". Tore down the top side to touch up playfield that had some paint loss + planking. Never got around to putting it back together. Parts should all be present (can definitely confirm that all the hard to find bits are like the artwork + balligator mech). I have an extra (good but not great) playfield I picked up at some point that I'll include with the game. Backglass is fantastic and perfect, enough so that I thought about just keeping the glass as art and tossing the game but I'd hate to do that to a "working" game.
2. Xenon Playfield (CPR Gold) - $800
* From the original run. Registration + clearcoat are great. Some slight warping from storage.
3. Medusa Playfield (CPR Gold) - $800
* From the recent (only?) run. Looks great. No issues.
4. Addams Family Playfield - $1000
* This was from IPB. Bought a game that already had a new field installed, so don't need it. Really nice.
5. Centaur Backglass - $200
* Original glass. No flaking, no peeling, all the paint is there, but there is some bubbling visible at certain angles.
6. High Speed Plastics - $150
* Brand new set from CPR, never used. Totally thought I was going to buy a High Speed someday, but never did.
I'm open to reasonable offers on all items.
Quoted from jahbarron:specialk-33 is looking for a Taxi a few posts up
I hit him up, and he passed on my Taxi. He he got a better offer.
Quoted from WhiskeyPinball:Hi Gents,
I am looking for some early SS titles - projects (am based out of Concord - East Bay Area).
Show me what you got / want to get rid of.
Thanks,
WP
I talked to acitti today, and he has some projects machines I know he will be needing to move out soon.
I need to make some room in my shop, so I decided to sell my Taxi. However, I may also be willing to part with my Whirlwind if there is interest.
Mechanically the machine is in good condition. I picked this up as a project last year, and managed to get it going. It got a ton of play at the Golden State Pinball Festival this last year, and help up well. The playfield is original, but is still in good shape. It does have some broken plastics, particularly around the drop targets, and the slings.
The worst part of the machine is the cabinet. It looks like it sat on someone's porch for a while. The head is delaminating in one spot. I believe the head on this late System 11 is the same as the heads on early WPC machines, so cosmokramer should be able to make a replacement at a reasonable price.
The price would be $2,400 firm for the machine. I will try to get some pictures and and an add up this evening.
I’ve pretty much made my last price reduction on Taxi. If no one wants it st this price, I may put it in storage till next spring.
Quoted from swanng:I have a Gottlieb Haunted House complete project machine that needs a new home. The cabinet is in better shape cosmetic-wise than most, and the playfields have the typical wear. All the boards are included and some ground modifications were made to the CPU and driver boards, and some transistors were replaced on the pop bumper driver boards. The capacitors for the rectified DC in the bottom of the cabinet were replaced. The backglass is in very good shape and is included. I will have some photos available this evening on Photobucket. Local pickup ONLY.
Price is $750.00 firm.
PM with any questions.
Location?
I have a HS I am going to part with. It’s about average condition with the usual Mylar on the playfield. I was waiting for the hardtop to come out, but now I’ve got other priorities. It does have a new red main ramp installed, and the traffic light has been relocated. The cabinet is in above average condition, but the front was drilled for a lock bar. The back glass does have a some wear spots around the displays that someone has tried to repaint. Mechanicaly it’s in good shape. The only issue is the GI has been wired to be permenantly on. SOLD...
I’d like to buy a Project Black Hole. I’m only looking to spend around $1500 for a complete machine (the domestic version), or possibly more if a new playfield is included.
I’m still looking for a project or player Black Hole...
I’m going to hold off on this for now. I ended up spending my funds on parts for my other machines...
My Millionaire is now up for sale. Delivery available to the Golden State Pinball Festival.
Quoted from xsvtoys:They are saying 6.6
It was pretty strong in my neck of the woods. I felt the rolling, and realized what it was, and moved outside. All the hanging lamps in my shop swung around pretty good. It lasted a good 20 to 30 seconds.
I have an old EM Pitch and Bat I am going to sell. It is a 1972 Midway Flash Baseball. Everything on it works but the sound. The old 8 track player doesn't work anymore. Im asking $300 for it. PM for pictures.
Quoted from zermeno68:I actually live in Ridgecrest... I am about 3 miles away from China Lake military base and some distance inside is the location of the epicenter. I NEVER want to experience these Quakes that we just went through AGAIN!!!!! This was my first experience with earthquakes.
My boss got a call yesterday from a mining facility up near Ridgecrest, I may be up there tomorrow doing a damage assessment. It will be my first time dealing with the aftermath of a major quake. I know every time there has been an aftershock over 4, I’ve felt it here in Tehachapi. I’m ready for this run of quakes to be over too.
I am selling my Earthshaker to fund yet another restoration project. Come to the beautiful mountains of Tehachapi, and leave with a fun pinball machine.
Quoted from MrArt2u:Anyone coming out to the Banning show in search of some project games, I’m a mere eighty *easy* SoCal freeway miles away in Pasadena and I’ve got a bunch of them. Mostly EMs and a few early SS. Stacked deep and selling cheap. Space Mission, Aztec, Tri-zone, Sharpshooter, Extra Inning, Turf King, star Pool, Time Zone, they cool old Genco Rifle game. So many I can’t possibly remember them all! Some were working when I bought them. Some weren’t. Nothing you guys can’t handle
While I am always up for a SS project, for this trip, my suburban is already full 
I'm looking to change up my collection, so Victory is now for sale. If you like Gottleib System 80b machines, this one is very clean.
I'm going to be putting my Black Hole up on the market place, but I thought I would offer it up to the locals first.
I put this machine together from parts last year. You can see it in this thread: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/reserecting-a-black-hole
The machine plays fast, and is very reliable with PI-80 board set. I'm asking $2200 for it.
Ive posted some current pictures of the Black Hole Machine I have for sale.
Now I just wish I had the funds for the JM posted above 
Bakersfield, CA
I've dropped the price on my Gottlieb Black Hole..
Bakersfield, CA
I’ve posted my Elektra for sale. I would entertain a trade for most system 11 games.
Ok, Ive listed my Judge Dredd for sale.
I would be willing to entertain a local trade for one or more of the machines I have for sale. At the top my list would be an Aerosmith Pro.
I've lowered the prices on the games I have for sale.
On JD, I am willing to go lower if the deal doesn't include the Color DMD.
Bakersfield, CA
I have removed the Color DMD from my Judge Dredd, and lowered the price accordingly.
I would entertain a trade for a HS2 for this machine.
So I still have my Black Hole machine I listed for sale a while back. I was looking around the shop last night thinking 'man I have a lot of WPC boards I can't test until I get TZ back together'. So I am wondering if anyone would be interested in trading my BH plus a little cash for an early WPC game? I am going to primarily use it for a test bed for board repairs. Projects are ok as long as they boot and play. You will note on my list I left off a lot of the higher end WPC games. I have dont' have the cash to work a trade for any of the more expensive WPC games.
So the game I would be interested in would be the following early WPC games:
WPC Alpha-numeric
Funhouse
Bride of Pinbot
Harley-Davidson
WPC Dot matrix
Giligans Island
Hurricane
Slug Fest
T2
Party Zone
WPC Fliptronic II
Black Rose
Dr. Who
FT
High Speed 2: The Getaway
Quoted from Only68s:Another making room sale:
Metallica pro LED with shaker and snake ramp mod low plays :$4600
Addams family rough cab touched up , new CPR gold playfield :6600
Deadpool Premium low plays with lots of mods $6400
Twilight zone with mods rough playfield with some planking $5800

I will make ads for the games and add pictures later. Pinside will receive donations on any games sold.
PM me if interested
Ive seen and played this TNA.... Its niceeeee.
Also if you look at the URL captains uses for their auction catalog, each auction event is numbered. Just edit the URL back a few numbers, and you can browse old auction results.
My DE Batman with a nearly new playfield is now for sale. Im trying to raise funds to finish my TZ. It's located in Tehachapi, in the mountains between Bakersfield and Mojave.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Great Seller and Friend!
Breaking News Alan.....ColorDMD Just released the New Mini LCD Display for all 5 of the Data East Games!!
A saw that... Its very tempting to pull this one back and install the color DMD, but I need the funds to finish TZ.
I’m looking to trade my Rollergames for another system 11 game or Gottlieb 80b gam a. Top of my list would be F-14 or pinbot. Pm me for pictures.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Any interest in a really nice Hurricane?
Colordmd led.
Amazing playfield, all led, a 9. New center ramp.
Cabinet has no fade or washout color, 8.
Manual, rollercoaster mod.
$3300
Erik has put a lot of work into this machine, buy with confidence.
More projects are calling to me... So I need to part with my TZ.

I would rather not ship this one. Id like the buyer to come see it in person if possible.
I am asking $10.5k for this machine.
I would consider taking the following machines as a partial trade:
The Hobbit
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Tron Legacy Pro
Cirqus Voltaire
Edit: My add is up:
So I am looking to expand my collection by one next week.
I am looking for one of the following:
Williams System 9 (Sorcerer or Space Shuttle)
Gottlieb System 80, 80a, or 80b (Victory?, Caveman?)
Bally 6803 machine (I haven't had a chance to mess with one of these yet)
Project machines are Ok. Let me know if you are wanting to move something out.
I’m putting feelers out to see if anyone is interested in my HUO Dialed In. It’s the standard, but it has pin blades. It only has about 550 plays on it. I’m looking to get $7000 for it.
I also have a Diner I may be willing to let go for $3500.
Sorry no trades.
Added over 3 years ago:Machines are sold.
Quoted from DruTheFu:Any 24s lingering around out there never getting turned on? I could use some Jack Bauer in my life, had one of my most fun times playing one with my crew at the last GSPF.
There is one for sale on Facebook in Eastvale.
Quoted from JackG:I already have a Tommy project, and at the end of the day, I don't think LW3 would last long in my lineup.
If you want to move out that Tommy project, I would be interested in it.
Quoted from Billy16:CA prices are higher, especially in Banning...
I get the Banning reference... That said, I have found that prices in California are higher the closer you are to the Bay Area or Los Angeles area. You can find deals, but you have to be willing to drive a way to the out of the way places in the desert, or central valley.
Quoted from EEE:Is there a NorCal seller of playfield glass? My cousin in Elk Grove needs a new sheet of standard size glass.
Or if someone in the area has a spare sheet from an upgrade, she would probably buy that too.
Thanks
My local glass shop has to order tempered glass, but they can get it in under a week. When you order glass, make sure you specify that you don't want any marking on it. otherwise you end up with a stamp in the corner.
Quoted from vicjw66:Oh man, only 35 plays and you’re out?
It seems that a lot of people are bailing Halloween/ultraman. Was that game a lot more hype than substance?
Quoted from xian222:Someone ran the numbers in another thread and per those figures, there are less people bailing on HWN and UM than with the average new game. Haven't run any numbers myself but his figures looked reasonable.
I’ve never seen reservations being sold at a discount before, so I assumed something odd was going on. It does make sense that a certain number of reservations would be withdrawn prior to delivery.
My wife wants to re-tile the house... So to free up some funds, Ive decided to put my restored The Addams Family up for sale.
Hey all,
I'm starting a new Firepower restoration project, and the transformer cage is missing from my machine. Does anyone have an extra in a parts pile somewhere they would be willing to sell me? I think this was used in just about every williams system 3 to 6 machine that has the transformer in the head.
Anyone looking for a video game, I’m selling a Neo Geo 4 slot.
$1100. It’s on Craigslist and Facebook.
I’m hoping to find a few boards to get my Caveman up and running. Among them are:
A Gottlieb System 80 speech and sound board
A Gottlieb system 80 power supply board
I will be at the GSPF if you have any you would be willing to sell.
I have a working cd100c cd jukebox that didn’t make the cut for the new house. So I’m selling it for $500. It all works (including the DBA), but the cabinet has a few dings. PM me for pictures.

Price dropped to $400.
Ok, folks, I am going to be downsizing my collection, and I have the following machines up for sale:
Mars: God of War. Good overall condition, ground mod done, and it works well. Leds installed and a recent shop job. The back glass has been mod'ed so it swings out with the back door. Overall a very nice classic Gottlieb system 80. $2200
Caveman: Yes this is the hybrid video game/pinball machine that Gottlieb did. They don't come up for sale often. This one is is in pretty good shape. I did the ground mod, and installed a remote battery pack. It has LEDs installed, and is freshly shopped. The monitor is original and nice and bright. One the down side, the back glass and marquee have some flaking paint, and there is no light in the back glass, as I don't have any 28v lamps to put in there. The back door could use some work as well. I'm asking $2000 for this one.
Sorcerer: This is machine works well, but has some ascetic issues, especially the cabinet. The playfield has a lot of the unusual wear around the inserts. The back glass is very nice, and the boards are not hacked. I'm asking $2400 for this one.
Xenon: This machine is currently in storage in my garage and not setup. It was working a couple of weeks ago when it was setup at my old house. It has the ususual problem with the old flaky light sockets, but otherwise works well. Im asking $2000 for this one.
All the machines are located in Bakersfield with an easy first floor load out. I am willing to deal if you buy multiple machines. I also would be interested in a trade for a modern Stern Machine (JP, GOTG, Mando, or Godzilla).
Edit 2: machines are still available
Im in the middle of downsizing our house, and the new place doesn't have a shop. So I have made the strategic decision to go to 4 machines. I am hoping someday I can get a place big enough again to expand back to 7 or 8 games, but that may be years into the future.
Quoted from acitti:I have a complete head with boards and backglass for Xenon, hit me up if interested or if you decide to sell the lower cab.
I was wondering if you still had that head. This would be a nice restoration project for someone.
I’m offering to trade or sell my BK2K, you can see it in the Golden State Pinball for sale thread. There are pictures there. I’m asking $3500 or trade for another system 11.

Quoted from jasonbar:Seeking soldering assistance...not pinball-related, but I can't think of a more appropriate group of people to contact. :]
Short story:
I have 2 small populated PCBs that are effectively identical.
I want to transfer 3ish components from board A to board B.
Board B would need its 3 components removed first, to make room for the replacements from board A.
Components are chips, tiny chips w/ many teeny tiny legs.
Looking for somebody experienced in this area, not somebody looking to learn & see if you can figure it out.
Please message me if you're near Irvine & you scoff at the triviality of SMC soldering.
Thanks!
Surface mount or through-hole? It makes a difference as some of use are not setup for surface mount work.
