EMs are definitely hit and miss for me. But something like Jacks Open or Centigrade 37 are great games. I'm not enough of a masochist to buy and repair one though.

That's one of the cool things about the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas. I don't know anywhere else that has that many EMs. Sometimes it's like playing a history lesson, but pretty neat nonetheless.

Never grew up with EMs either (or pinball in general) but I played a Card Whiz a while back and it was fun. A simple but pretty brilliant layout that I had fun with. I wouldn't mind owning one.

I won't be getting any EMs.....too much work with the SS games as it is

EM's can be fun!! Of course they play slower but the challenge on many is greater than on SS games.

Here's a list of my players and project EM's, I could bring one or two up for a tournament day if requested(and weather permitting).

Players:
Abra Ca Dabra
Alladin's Castle
Capt. Fantastic
Card Whiz
Delta Queen
El Dorado
Paradise
Wizard!

Resto Projects:
King of Diamonds
Magic City
Masquerade
Olympics
Shangri-La

Also to Jason, you don't really have to fear for the EM's breaking as much as they are pretty much self sustaining once tuned correctly. Parts are cheap and so are the games themselves due to the ever-decreasing number of EM collectors. Personally I think it would be nice to have a couple from every era represented, but I realize you are running a business, not a Museum.

See you guys on Sun!

I'm honestly not a fan of EM's. However, I'd also love to see some more early SS games.

Maybe Space Invaders, Black Hole, Firepower, Orbitor 1, Defender, Xenon, Flash Gordon, Spectrum, or another Black Knight.

Speaking of Flash Gordon, has anyone bought the one on Craigslist yet?

^ I second Space Invaders although you can go play one in rough condition nearby at Uncle Pete's. Xenon intrigues me as well.

pre System 11 games gave me problems, the only ones I really sort of were interested in are High Speed, Pinbot, Cyclone, Comet, and that's about it

Our rent is getting increased on Tuesday; basically at least what we were going to pay in the storage which is not good, we barely broke even LAST month...

What would be a good offering price for it? "I'll haul it off if you'll pay me to take it off your hands"?

Space shuttle... Love me some space shuttle. I want mine back.

They've tried revitalizing Antioch 3 times in the last 2 decades. They have failed miserably each time they try it.

They can't even gentrify the area because all the thugs and illegal aliens keep moving there. The property values are at rock bottom, but for some reason the realtors in the area charge a premium for retail spaces.

I'm honestly surprised there are ANY retail spaces left there. The resturants and gas stations are doing okay, because they are pretty much necessities. But I don't understand where these property owners get their prices from. The most expensive apartments in Antioch are near $900 for a 2 or 3 bedroom. In the surrounding areas, a one bedroom can go for almost a grand.

Well "technically" the only place we signed is in the Best Buy, they just saw their rent check from last month and want it to be similar to Hickory Hollow and inside the Best Buy. The problem is the agreement was with electricity and electricity is separate in the proposal, which is the problem since our electricity bill was $560 last month....I'll find out more on Tuesday....I know that we are going to move everything out of the Best Buy, though, so it may be awhile before we even get in there...

no, Best Buy is supposed to be a Global Market, that is where we are supposed to be anyway....it just won't be ready anytime soon.

Mystic you better jump on this one! I see it's on your wishlist.

nashville.craigslist.org link

That one has spent some time enjoying the great outdoors

Or possibly someone used it as a boat anchor.

I don't know which is worse. Someone thinks that is worth $700 or that Mystic wants one.

That Lethal Weapon is a fake ad Rob put up. I can tell because that was the Lethal Weapon that we ripped apart (literally) and monkey stomped. Everything else in that place we picked up in one bulk buy. Lucky Seven, Tron, etc. It was out in the middle of nowhere halfway to Dickson. I am the only person that would have caught that because I was there when he took those pics. LOL

At least the playfield is salvagable.

But the rest belongs in a wood chipper.

project pin... just needs some tlc guys. Maybe a stick of dynamite.

We took the playfield and sold it and parts off it. And the display and boards. Display worked great, lol. Monkey stomped everything else.

I emailed him with an offer of $70 a couple of hours ago

Is that a Bally Corvette in there too?

NVM I see it's a Checkpoint, on the LW3 did you try to salvage the playfield parts or plastics before it got stomped?

Checkpoint was nasty too...I was lucky to sell that for $450.

Sorry apparently my reading comprehension sucks!

Think I got them from action pinball

They won't be leaving for awhile I am sure.

No, that is when Rob starts working.

hey DreamTR,
are you going to the auction in tenn this saturday. any chance you'll post what pins they have on friday night when they let you check them out? I'm considering going but have a family function in Huntsville so I may not make it. i'm looking for my first pin and want to be there but if they have a cool working budget pin, i would be interested in buying it from you.

also, is there a list of pins and arcade games at the huntsville location?

Thanks man
Pork Chop/PCE

whoa I predict a stinkfest for yours truly

You gonna make the trip up Richard?

Hey Jason have you inquired about getting the league setup to award WPPR points. It's totally free and would be a big plus for the players. I'm ready to start climbing the ladder.

If my tires hold up for the trip, gonna bring a friend this time too. He will probably kick all our asses....... except for Jamie obvs.

I'm sure the switch on Elvira will be fine= P If not, it's challenge mode!

fumbleflippers: I don't know what that WPPR is, if you want to inquire about it, by all means go ahead....I wouldn't really know what to do/how to start.

At the auction right now....some highlights just for Friday Night:

Simpsons Pinball Party
Black Hole
Police Force
Spider-Man
NBA Fastbreak x 2
Fish Tales
Rescue 911
Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball
X-Men LE Magneto

WPPR stands for World Pinball Player Ranking, basicly you just run software or keep scores for all players and the players get to be ranked worldwide.
