Quoted from Daditude:Charles has about 25 pins for sale in various states of condition in arkadephia, Arkansas
870-406-9238[quoted image]
Daditude I called and the only potential deals (since they are $700+) are:
EM
Sky Jump $700 Cabinet Painted Black
Jacks Open $900 Nice condition
SS
Eight Ball $700 Backglass has flaking
Globe Trotters ??? I forgot to ask about this one
I'd be interested in the first two pins listed above, but that's nine hours one way for me. All of the other pins are ems and start at $700, and all of the ones in the pictures are in really rough shape. Even if they are pristine, would you really pay $700 for any of these:
Royal Guard
Mibs
El Toro (Paging ____)
300
Top Ten
Jolly Roger
Baseball (Williams)
Buccaneer (ok I would pay $700 if it was pristine)
Magnotron
Football (Gottlieb)
Bally-ho
Honey
Suspense (two available)
Wild Card
Super Star
Casanova
Pioneer
Speedway (Chicago coin arcade driver game) Two available

He told ne 600 for harlem globetrotters
He also has a jokers wild...but im not sure which one. One is EXTREMELY rare.
He is also an old timer that doesnt like texting, taking pics, or messing around. I have a feeling that cash talks with him and could get a discount.
Quoted from Daditude:Oh...I should also mention that he would likely do a bulk discount if bought in multiples.
A local collector is going to look at his collection tomorrow morning. Let's see what's left.

Jokers wild, harlem globetrotters, and magnotron are what i would be interested in. Of course, magnotron isnt worth that asking price
Manufacturer: Williams
Game/Type: #oxo / EM 4 Player
Month/Year: October 1973
Production: 7,053
Cost: $550
Location: Summerville, SC
Pinsider: palmettopatina
Link/Contact: https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/83440
OP: FOR SALE OR TRADE - searching for arcade machines, pinball machines, golf carts, jukeboxes
Located in Summerville, SC 29485
***PLEASE NOTE - this is a budget buy being sold AS-IS - machine powers up, but needs a proper tune up***
Excellent opportunity to own one of the TOP 100 Electro Mechanical pinball machines of all time!!!
Nothing is broken, but the machine needs the internal contacts and relays cleaned, some bulbs replaced and a new set of rubber rings installed. There are no wiring hacks, this is a great example of a machine that just needs some TLC.
Playfield is in excellent condition, very colorful eclectic artwork from world famous pinball artist Christian Marche
ME: Another seller in SC had this pin for sale for $300 on CL (and a Gottlieb Hulk for $900). This Pinsider is flipping this pin for $550 the day after he bragged on Facebook about buying both pins.

According to IPDB.org:

Your only choice is a Sonic Joker's Wild. It has a nice looking play field. There is a Sonic Pinball Club on Pinside. If you don't go for it, you might consider linking the Sonic boys to this one. If it is a Sonic and not a Bally flipperless mahcine.

That’s a shame. 250 profit for nothing is ...profit. For 300 I’d have grabbed it for my classroom. Still looking for something appropriate but inexpensive to put there. Want to keep introducing kids to pinball using it as a motivator

OP: Table is in pretty good shape - powers on and plays, but will need some work to be at 100%. It's a machine that's been played quite a bit over the years. I've replaced the lights on the playing field, added new balls and done some clean up, but I had planned on having it serviced to restore its full functionality. The ball counter does not to work - It won't advance the ball count properly or switch between players. Should be a pretty easy fix for someone with experience working on EM machines. A few of the bumpers react but don't add to the score and the coin door no longer functions (pretty standard in machines this old). Some paint starting to peel from the backglass where the light bulbs have made the paint brittle, also standard for heavily used machines of this age. I'm lucky to have the original documents (instructions and schematics), which will be included in the sale.

I always thought a pin would be great for mechanical engineering classes. Define the requirements like targets and scoring and let them try and make one.

Now that's a rare bird. Hopefully goes to a good home.

I bought a super Mario bros pin from a school in northern Ohio once. The guy had probably 30 pins in there. All kinds of kids working on them. I cant remember the guys name or the name of the school for the life of me though.
Thinking about parting with my Mr. and Mrs. Pacman project. Got 3 other projects going and wouldn't mind some extra cash to picking up a Color DMD for my Hurricane. Purchased it from Crazy Levi about 6 months ago and traded the playfield/parts for nicer ones at Allentown. Other than cleaning the cabinet a bit that's as far as I've gotten. I'm $425 into it, so would be looking to recoup that. I'll try to put an ad up tomorrow. Please PM if interested. Thanks!

I hate to see 3 inch flips on a 2 inch game... easily changed out... backglasses have some fade issues.
Quoted from TicTacSeth:Nice Jaytrem, which 3 are you working on?
Roller Coaster (need to do a big parts order)
Black Jack (mostly been working on that)
Kings (woodrail that's already in good shape, just got new plastics and need a few more cosmetic parts)

Nice, well played. I’ve got to focus in on my T2 project. Need to see how big of a parts order I’m going to need, not sure what’s going on with the assembly under the skull, and of course ... LEDs and mods.

I had previously been looking for any old stern pin, but have acquired one since then. Not necessarily the one titled 'pinball'.
Not really looking for more MPU-100 games at this point.

With estate sales-its hit or miss....
Bought my first 2 machines at one- negotiated both down from their asking price on the second day of the sale (#evel-knievel #blackwater-100), there was a Pinbot for sale local to me last week at one and I messaged about 30 min after the sale started and they said it sold already for $1000 (not sure what they were asking but it looked to be in real good shape). Most don't do presales but if they don't state that in their ad, I'll ask about it.
But ya gotta be Johnny on the spot with cash in hand to find out...part of the thrill of the chase I guess!
Quoted from Daditude:They probably want too much for it
I'm sure it's starting at a reasonable $7,500...

Is it me or do they look HUO? Look at the other stuff at this place. Appears that it was a upper-middle-class family at minimum. Cabinets have no scuffs or scrapes. Somebody's going to go home with a nice game no matter what!

The map shows a lake side house...so i'd have to assume that these were well maintained machines.....
Agreed, someone will end up with some nice games, hope its not a flipper!
