Quoted from tominator:If you are parting it out I need the sling plastics please...I will clean the mouse poo off of them...
I got 'em and they're clean. If you want them you can have them, for free!
They're in great shape. Just pm me your address.
Quoted from fast_in_muskoka:Where the heck is this place ?
In Dante's 6th ring reserved for heretics..
One of the best values I ever came across in pinball was buying a beat up 6 million dollar man for $50 bucks. I’ve been picking its bones for years. Just for openers...it had 6 perfectly working displays
I always had a sneaky feeling about coil stops...turns out they were invented by the pinball industrial complex...just to scare the public...and of course fatten their profits.
Here’s your proof they’re not needed
2 zip ties made from 100% hemp work just fine

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:The ol’ lightswitch on/off switch trick. I assume the other turns it to freeplay somehow. You see them a ton for some reason and they’re all stupid when the original switch was pretty damn simple to begin with
The switch box is pure Americana and a piece of art.
The artist’s struggle is man’s struggle...
Quoted from chad:Did you save the glass?
I’m the guy who tossed it. It stunk like mouse urine and was peeling all over. Didn’t know glass could stink that bad...

Another game saved by Sharpie™
The game was at my warehouse, so my warehouse manager let the buyers in to pick it up. They said they have Fish Tales too and know all about moving games. So this is the pic I got from the buyer as he happily left.
They have a three hour drive through wet snow deep into Maine
Quoted from gdonovan:Termites?
What’s the title?
Just so I can have closure to my mourning process.
Quoted from Mathazar:Discourages "Death Save" moves which could bang into adjacent machines and damage cabinets / artwork.
Oh the humanity.
The poor Armstrong 1830 cottage tan, vinyl composition tile (VCT)
Quoted from Whistles:Here I was admiring the asbestos tile shuffleboard!
It was a kit back in the 50’s & 60’s.
I see them once in a while on picks.
I have the mask on in the photo, not due to the asbestos tiles, but because it was back during the great Covid hysteria.

Quoted from DanMarino:embryonjohn Cool retro game room there in those photos. How does that bowler work? Its it like actual bowling, but with skeeballs?
Exactly like real bowling with the ball coming back to you with an elevated rack.
All you need is the hand blower.
Quoted from DanMarino:My wife would love that. She's in a duckpin bowling league. How must room that that take up?
20ft.
You can buy extensions to add to the lane length.
Here, this’ll get you in trouble.
