Quoted from pindoc1:

I am a long time collector in Wichita. I have recently heard people complaining about United Distributors. Personally I have never had any significant problems with them and have probably bought at least 10 used machines from them at fair prices over the years. You just have to know what to expect and what things are worth. I have recommended several people to them over the years that want to buy a game or need a repair. They have been very helpful to me with fixing problems that inevitably crop up. What experiences have people had with them? I really don't want this to to turn into a bash-fest. I am just curious. Thanks.

Quoted from Manimal:

Anyone else from the area going to TPF?

Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

“Out there”....lol! Looks like Colorado does have some decent activity.
I’ve been kicking around the idea of putting some games on location here in Colby right off the interstate. Wondering if those of you who travel between Denver and KC would like a spot to stretch your legs while traveling? Any thoughts?

Going to be selling my Laser Cue. $1400

Quoted from cottonm4:

I sold mine for $1400.00 two years ago. I put it on CL, said that I was over the market on the price but that I had done a bunch of board work etc. To keep the play field looking pristine, I made a protector for it.
It took two months for my 62 year old buyer to show up. He had played it in the bowling alley as a kid and had fond memories. He drove 60 miles to come see it. He was starting to get cold feet, worrying about it breaking after he got it home. I told him I don't need to sell for the money and to look around; I needed space. I told him that I would give him 30 days to change his mind and I would give him his money back and go retrieve the pin from his house. No questions asked. That was all he needed to hear. He whipped out 14 one hundred dollar bills so fast I barely saw his hand move.
It is his one pin, shoveled into his tiny home office. He still is enjoying it.

Quoted from cottonm4:

Anyone in this area have a Ghostbusters they want to sell? I'm on the hunt.

Quoted from manadams:

That's cool, CJ looks like they have a decent lineup.

Quoted from PinDeadHead:

This could be the silliest comment I’ve read in a while. So you’re telling me you’re upset I posted a pin for sale that isn’t around the corner from you? I have met Pinsiders in the middle of two cities to do deals and recently met a Kansas Pinsider. The Kansas border is 2h15m from my home. Seems close enough to me to post here. Folks in bordering states travel to Denver all the time and vice versa.

Quoted from MulletHuntin:

Just seeing if this thread is still alive. I am fairly new to pinball and live in Wichita. I am possible inheriting a Monster Bash soon in unknown condition. This is going to be my first pin and first foray into restoration () . I went through electronics training in the Navy but i have long forgotten most of it and will be looking to refresh those skills for sure. Anyone have any advice for MB?
Thanks in advance!

Quoted from MulletHuntin:

Wow everyone thanks for the feedback! I am excited to be a part of the community

It will certainly be transported a long distance. I have a truck and will be sure and take your advice in strapping everything down. I am trying to get some playfield pics as all I've seen so far is the outside of the cabinet for now. Thanks for the heads up about the AA batteries. Hopefully they were removed before they could leak all over everything. I downloaded the manual for Monster Bash and will be brushing up on my circuit theory in the meantime.

Quoted from MulletHuntin:

I certainly appreciate the offer. No news yet on the pin but hope to hear something soon as I am chomping at the bit to have a pin at the house.
I have joined the Wichita Pinball Community Facebook and also follow Michael Jenson's repair page to learn a bit more about general repair and restoration. Ive also been going up to Kirbys a few times a month to scratch the itch.
