Roanoke, VA
Still looking for an Astro.
Could bring a Gottlieb Show Boat (the world’s nicest project) if anyone is looking for one.

For your viewing pleasure, a beautifully immaculate NOS Melody playfield (Harmony actually but identical)…

Does anyone collect backglasses? I have some decent ones… Out Of Sight, Captain Card, Expressway, etc. Will check what else.

Update: Can bring for sale as one lot... $5250
Gottlieb Show Boat - exceptionally nice project
Gottlieb Slick Chick - project w/rough cab needing repaint, playfield will clean up, new caps, new Shay backglass
Williams Doodle Bug - super nice project
Williams Time Fantasy - very good condition overall & works w/new backglass film
Quoted from ZNET:Randy's arcade is great. I always supported his arcade, both before and after its relocation. Just don't discuss any topic with him unrelated to pinball and arcades.
We were Facebook friends for years until I had the audacity to politely challenge one his "fake moon landing conspiracy" Facebook posts. Rather than defend his position in support of that conspiracy theory, Randy unfriended me, to dodge the need to respond. In doing so, he lost both a friend and a good customer over a silly conspiracy theory.
Dang. The conspiracy cult got him too? It’s amazing how the most unexpected people get sucked into these things… willing to cast away even their closest friends and family rather than re-enter reality.
Don’t let it happen to you!
Can bring any or all of these…
Gottlieb Out Of Sight. Slight orange fade and a few small flaky spots.

Can also bring this exact Bally Expressway… anyone looking for a prize winner? It is from my personal collection: Professionally clear coated playfield, super nice cab, backglass, and new lamp sockets head to toe including the dreaded backbox. Of course mechanically rebuilt by yours truly.

Busiest Pinfest yet (for me, anyways)! Was good to see “all of y’all” the usual suspects and make some deals. Wish I had more time for some fixes and tricks/tips… but it was all business this time.
Best deals to be found? This thread.
Second best? Thursday early.
Third best? Saturday late!
Thanks to Pete for the Volley hookup, and cantbfrank for the Astro. Finally, the last two wedges on my personal must-have list… ahhhhh.
I didn’t bring a game, but like most of you, I wouldn’t have appreciated it being used as an advertising billboard without asking. So… next year let’s agree to remove random ads on not only your game, but your neighbor’s game, and every other game on the floor. After all… wax on? WAX OFF! Respect the games.
See y’all at York. Won’t be Skyrocket but something equally buttery-smooth from the fleet.
Luma Legs were cool, but are they kid-proof? Just the right height to get coins and fingers and things wedged/poked in there.
High Hand can be modded to reset after completion, but I think it would also benefit from a custom backglass with an “over the top” 100k light.
Highest Hand?
Quoted from pindel:Game cleaned and new rubbers installed
Yep, that's usually it. The bare minimum. Like getting a car wash and interior vacuum... nevermind the condition of the fluids, brakes, electrical, etc.
"Shopped" is an antiquated term nowadays, primarily used by older techs/retailers. A barely-working beat up game can be "shopped", but a "nice and fully working" game is always better!
