Quoted from Ronnie1114:It was at the pendleton swap meet. 400 bucks but, this thing is ROUGH....
Sweet, thats about the price I am lookng for, for a table I can spend some time fixing up. Is there anything similar on the west side (seattle to bellingham) anytime soon?

Pretty quiet in here. Any upcoming swap meets anywhere around bellingham? Im looking for a cheap project table.
Shame about the meets. this seems like an area with a lot of interest. Especially with the giant Seattle-Tacoma market! Does anything ever show up at bigger flea-markets or is it strictly CL?
I do not have any tables at all so I am pretty open to anything, just looking for something I can play with my kids. Table conditions don't scare me, I am confident I can pull off a total rebuild of cabinet, playfield and wiring/mechanics - in fact it looks like it would be fun. The hard part is getting something! this is a tough area to find bargains in.
Sorry Oropuro - thanks to JosiahCox's immense wonderfulness, I am the proud owner of my very first table - the Star Trip Cocktail table! So it is off the market.

1949 Turf King found for sale.
Its not mine but I found this at a Lions Club sale in Bellingham. Took a couple of pictures, it looks to be in good shape although its hard to tell. If interested, contact David at 253-380-7360 - he told me $600. I don't know if that is a firm price or a starting price.
Cant link pics here, so I posted it over in EM as well with pics: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/1949-turf-king-found-for-sale#post-3444814

I am thinking of selling my United Brazil Bingo system. Apparently it is a pretty rare one and this one is in great shape, there is no wear on the playfield and the wires, solenoids, wheels, etc. all look brand new. However while it lights up, it does not run, so it is a project pin.
Ideally I would prefer someone local so I don't have the hassle of boxing and shipping. I was thinking $400 does that sound reasonable? I can't find much info on pricing for them.

I've got a guy driving out from the East Coast to pick up my Bingo Pin and he was asking if anyone had a "Palm Beach" or "Double Header" they were interested in selling so he could bring home more than one.

Pricing question. I have a possible lead on a 1963 race-way. I don’t know if it runs or not. What would be a fair price? It’s pretty old but seems like a cool pin

Thinking about selling my Argosy EM, it’s in decent shape. Any idea what price would be reasonable in the Pacific Northwest? I know EMs don’t go for as much as back east.

the container buys are great. the machines tend to come in needing *some* work but its a good way to get some titles that are hard to find in the area. I had to bow out of the last one but I can't wait for the next!

Pick up a project from someone on the list, if you post I am sure someone will part with one, then you have something to do and when it’s all fixed up you can play it

Quoted from Mikespinball:Hello NW pin heads! I live in Eugene, Oregon and possibly looking for my next restoration project. I am looking for a William's Flintstones machine. Don't want a restored one, but a project. Mainly want the playfield in good condition without any major damage. On this title have seen rub through of the art work by the flippers. I already have new cartoon cabinet art work and parts as I have owned this title before. Want to do a unique restoration. Give me a heads up if you have one and are local to me. Thanks Mike
Did you ever find one? I hope you start a thread on the "unique restoration" sounds like it will be fun!

Quoted from nwpinball:Hey folks! You probably know a bunch of local pinheads put together container pin orders once or twice a year, where we order games from Europe that come in on a shipping container. We are starting to put together the next order, if anyone is interested, follow the link to check out the games, prices, photos and you can make a reservation if you are in. Some basics on a container buy:
-Assume games have wear, broken plastics, hacks, missing parts, etc. Look at the photos carefully. Most work or sorta work, but they need a lot of clean up and some degree of replacement parts.
-Shipping averages $200-$250 per pin.
-Prices are in Euros, the exchange rate does change.
-Games get delivered to Kirkland, WA.
-Payment is due before we sign the deal with the vendor. This is all done by local collectors, no profit, Jon that organizes it puts a ton of work and capital on the line to make it happen. For free.
-There are lots more details, bug me if you want them.
http://container.proludio.com/
Just a reminder that the window for this is starting to close, if you are interested make sure you let Jon know!

I think that 2021 is the year of recovery and 2022 is when everything is back to normal. We might get Christmas events like normal on 2021 but I suspect most things during the year will be cancelled like 2020.

Anyone thinking of getting something from the Museum of Pinball auction in Banning California? Maybe it could work like a Italy buy, someone drives a U-Haul up from the area and we share the cost.
for info: https://www.facebook.com/MuseumOfPinball
to bid on a machine: https://bid.captainsauctionwarehouse.com/m/view-auctions/catalog/id/80

FYI - if anyone is thinking of buying from the Banning Pacific Pinball Museum auction and shipping the machine(s), I contacted Beltman Integrated Logistics (one of the ones on the websites recommended list) about shipping pins up to Bellingham area. I would think Seattle might be a little cheaper.
Machine will be corner boarded, blanket wrapped shrink wrapped at time of pick up. We do not palletize unless the customer would like it palletized with a fee of $65. Packing is included in the price.
Price for 1 - $575.80
Price for 2 - $658.96 - definitely cheaper to go multiple!
They only need 24-48 hours notice, so if successful in bidding you can contact them and get it done within the time window.
they said: *Quote is based on tractor trailer accessibility and no stairs
if multiple people were going to bid, the per-person price would be pretty low. Is anyone planning to bid?

I don't know if everyone has looked at this before, but a guy up in Lynden is selling his Bally Freedom EM. I've looked at it, the playfield is nice with some planking but no worn out spots, the backglass is intact and looks good. It plays great with no problems.
His original posting was $1550 but that was a year ago and he indicated he will be willing to talk. The Expressway next to it is spoken for.
