Quoted from Pecos:Manufacturer: Williams
Game/Type: Solids and Stripes / EM
Year: February 1971
Production: Unknown
Cost: $125
Location: Portland, OR
Link/Contact: " target="_blank">portland.craigslist.org link
Condition: OP: "Have a parts-project...looks complete..selling as is ..parts machine..."
Gone.
Quoted from Pecos:Welcome balzofsteel! Did you pick up the Solids and Stripes for $125? If so, nice pickup. It's hard to go wrong at that price!
Alas, no such luck. I emailed the guy and got back a note saying he sold it.
Portland cl had another prize though...
Just what I always wanted! Another ugly a$$ Darling.
Just kidding. Got me a Bally relic.
Looks like it's gonna be a hoot!
It really is a pretty sad example of a Darling.
Pop rivets across the lockbar where the spot welds failed. Playfield with the look and feel of genuine hand-tooled leather. Frozen stepper with burnt coil and bent wiper hanging underneath. Battered cabinet painted to match the contents of a used diaper.
I might try a rag and some xylene and see what she looks like then.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:.... if you need some pics of anything, let me know.
how about a 4' X 6' patch of garage floor with nothing on it.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:Can it be both?
you should help Bill clean out the barn. that's a good start. Triple Strike is kinda cool.
don't try that 'too far away' bull either - same time zone is plenty close enough.
Quoted from Pecos:So, you got the Darling after all? It looks really cool on top of the car like that. It would look even cooler going down the highway at 60 MPH! Nice advertisement for pinball.
Didn't know if it was going to snow or what. It sat up there with a tarp all over it. Folks probably thought we were going out to the woods to bury a dwarf.

Manufacturer: Allied Leisure
Game/Type: Rock On / SS 4 Player
Month/Year: September 1975
Production: two or three (!)
Cost: $300 starting bid
Location: Appleton, WI
Link/Contact: ebay.com link: Vintage Allieds JJ Walker and Janet Jackson Rock On Pinball Machine 1966 300
Condition: Described as excellent. Says it needs a fuse.
Home use only? Has a non-commercial blank front door.
IPDB - 'Rock On' may be the first solid state game put into production by any manufacturer.
Quoted from Friengineer:Is that a good price for one of those? What's a good price range? It's close to me so I would consider bidding on it or checking it out but I have no clue as to what a good price would be.
There's another on there for $1100 which is an insane price. Bought Dyn O Mite last year for $100 which seemed better. It wasn't close(NJ) but the trip was fun.
From the pix, this example looks about as nice as you're ever going to see. One attached here for posteriority. Too bad he didn't keep the box.

edit: interesting IPDB quote:
Notes: This is a factory-made coinless version of Allied Leisure's 1975 'Rock On'.
At Pinball Expo 2005, Troy Livingston, the VP of Manufacturing for Allied Leisure 1971-1977, said that two or three games of most every model were made coinless at the factory for friends of the company.
Don't spill drinks on the instruction cards - replacements may be difficult to obtain.
Quoted from ForceFlow:The wiring in the backbox is all hacked up on that one. Ugh. It doesn't look like you'll be able to separate the head, since someone used wire nuts in place of the connectors.
Also, it looks like the line-em-up board and display (an early version of the game over ball match) aren't present in the home models.
meh. Get a couple molex plugs.
No line-em-up on a free-play game. No spot for it on the backglass even. No credit board. No credit display. I wonder if there are any differences in other boards?
Interesting contraption for sure.
Quoted from ForceFlow:.... no telling if components are missing....
yeah there is....
Where's the neck?
btw check the note... not really a "home model".. says they made 2 or 3 for VIP party favors. How cool is that.
Quoted from Friengineer:That space invaders machine has only been on and off craigslist for the better part of a year now. First his price was somewhere around 700. Now it's going to be destroyed. Do you think he's going to post pictures of the machine destroyed? How will we ever know the fate of space invaders?
A bunch of $40 each pop bumpers and flippers on flebay from somewhere around Chicago.
Quoted from Pecos:"Willing to trade for a Bally or Williams arcade or Topps Baseball, Hockey, Football Cards from 70's & 80's"
If someone wants to take a lark on this, ask him how many Rod Carew Topps 1969 #290 he wants. I have other '69 - '70 Topps baseball cards that could be used for a trade that he might want.
Edit: Actually, I think they are the 1970 and 1971 series that I have since the last stat years are 1969 and 1970.
I think he'd rather have my minty '78 #36 Eddie Murray. I'll give him a couple of 'em if he delivers it.

Quoted from BorgDog:I'm thinking about picking one up for a rainy day(s) project. Can't stand Black Knight or Firepower, don't know Agents 777 or Alien star, which would be the better one to get?
Decision made much easier...
Agents 777 is all that's left and a price cut to $100.

Quoted from Colsond3:I've actually considered grabbing this, but a shame the cabinet is painted over.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:Probably the easiest part to restore. ...
The cabinet pix on IPDB are really good and the art is fairly simple. Stencils shouldn't be terribly difficult.

1966 Glastron with a Johnson "Golden Meteor" 100hp o/b on a "little dude" trailer. Still has original spare tire and hubcaps.
Quoted from Colsond3:And I have to jump off the Jubilee...by many accounts, opinions and polls in the past - deemed to be the worst pinball game of all time. I played one once, and that was all I needed even trying to be objective. The outlanes are horrendous on that game.
One of the all time great parts games though.

Condition: Lockdown bar missing in pic. OP: "Everything Works But Has A Issue"
Sort of works but everything has an issue. It should be a player before too long.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:That looks like something to throw fifty bucks at. Who's resurrecting this one?
...
Between that and the one that came home from Pin-A-Go-Go 1999 there just might be a whole pin.
... if someone would answer their email.
edit: email answered. hulk fetched. There's pretty rough and then there's this one. At least it isn't full of excreta.
Quoted from DaWezl:There's a $200 Darling posted today in Bristol CT, not currently working. I looked up reviews, and I think I will pass on this one, lol.
nwct.craigslist.org link
aww come on... How about those reviews that give the art 8s and 9s... gotta love them dancing girls... right, Ryan?
Quoted from rkahr:Here's a triple strike about 15 minutes from my home. Says to "make offer"...
" target="_blank">washingtondc.craigslist.org link
-Rob
ick. That would be a small offer.
Sonic/Segasa is a Williams clone and pretty much anything inside can be replaced by Williams bits. Gotta love those armor plated playfields too. Zaccaria EM innards look like Williams stuff as well. These aren't terribly difficult to keep working.
I have a Recel Top Speed - some of the pieces look like Gottlieb machinery and others look like they went their own way. Some creativity may be needed by whomever gets to rebuild the flippers on that one.
PBR has some off-brand coils listed and weird foreign stuff shows up on flebay every once in a while.
Parts can be modified - grind 1/8" off a Bally plunger to make it fit someplace they never intended. Parts can be substituted - everybody's pop bumpers get rebuilt with Gottlieb bits nowadays.
Some games are indeed more difficult to refurb due to unobtanium parts. Here's a nice example - some drop target links for DynO'Mite that I whittled out of a hunk of plastic.
oops... Allied Leisure wasn't an overseas manufacturer.
Cheers.
Quoted from Pecos:Gotta love the detail in this ad. Must have put some weights in the cabinet though...

This machine still good to play game, but have some issued with sequence of player – Can play up to 3 Player maximum each time, if choose 4 player, it’ll struck at player#3, doesn’t move to next player, need to reset game
Light on for show BALL IN PLAY doesn't show in sometime
The item require service or repair in order to function properly as description and because age of the machine
I have the machine about 15 years and it sits in the basement"
Looks like there's an extra ball in there. That might explain some odd behavior.
I have the machine about 19 years and it lives in the playroom. Not terribly deep but still fun.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:...
BTW......gorgeous game, but hard to tell from the IPDB pics...are those 4 gobble-holes in the middle of the PF?
paradisePF_(resized).jpg....
Kickout holes. If you put the ball in the left hole it's supposed to kick it across a hole at a time then the last hole sends it back at you. Kings&Queens does the same thing.

Weird. I could see that tag on an AAB but on a 2-player game?? What does it do with quarters?? Just eat 'em??
Quoted from RyanClaytor:Took me to a page of multiple pinball listings, but the Cyclone was the first. So...GOOD ENOUGH! (I think it's that pinside c-list glitch that's been chat about for a while now.)
Scroll down some and there's a funky looking Beat Time for $300 and a pretty nice Brite-Star asking $600.
Quoted from NicoVolta:Me neither. They forgot to add... "machine was dredged from septic system"
aw come on... a bit of furniture polish and it will look ...........
.... like furniture.
you could put it in the livingroom for when company arrives.
Quoted from too-many-pins:This machine has been up for sale for at least 3 to 6 months and has been up for $325 for a good bit of the time listed. I am about a hour away but figure there must be something up with it or it would likely be gone by now?
Maybe firm on the price and gets huffy if one offers less?

Posted that one in the hope that someone would rescue me from dragging it home. Alas... the poor thing has been on there long enough to be a candidate for a stay here at the Orphanage. I guess I could maybe be persuaded to help you out. maybe.
Quoted from dasvis:.... I almost hope the pin in Bend is sold. If I drag home another my wife will shit a brick.
You can go to the swap meet without worrying about having to drag that one home.
I was actually pleasantly surprised. The guy was asking more last month and probably could have got most of it if he had posted some pix of mr. bunny rabbit instead of grubby coin mech.

Some ok pins, a bunch of EM shooters, a couple vidiot games, and some puck bowlers - seller is looking for a very generous buyer to take it all. Emphasis there on very generous. Like retail and then some generous. For what look like projects.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:Balzofsteel, from your comments it sounds like the seller quoted you a price. Let's hear it.
Haven't actually bothered seller. Talked to a couple of fellows who claimed to have made offers that were refused. One said $7K

WARNING! The title of this auction, "Chicago Coin Pinball Machine" is a lie! This is not a pinball machine.
This is a very cleverly disguised video game. BEWARE!
http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2432
"Specialty: Not A Pinball" "Notes: Video Game disguised as a pinball machine."
Quoted from ForceFlow:Well, it's kind of a hybrid game. Not very common either.
It's not fake or anything like that.
If Dyn O' Mite had a tube instead of a playfield, it would be Super Flipper. A hundred and some-odd TTL chips with nary a processor or bit of RAM in sight. They're even mostly the same chips - just arranged differently.
Traded mine off a couple years back. Here it was in Tacoma last year...
The star of the show!
Quoted from bluespin:Looks like the same seller cancelled the Craigslist ad and reposted. It's no longer $300 or make offer, now it is simply make offer.

Quoted from bluespin:Manufacturer: Gottlieb Game/Type: Strikes and Spares / SS, 4 Player
OP: Pinball machine not working , power to box good to 1 plug only , then no power . 1995 model , not used for 3-4 years . Has some minor warping inside bottom panel . It worked prior to " retirement" . Asking $ 200 obo (cl)
Hmmm... not sure if this is a proper project - darn thing took longer to fetch than it did to fix.
Quoted from CactusJack:Yup. Sadly, they are worth more for the board set then they are for the play. At least you got it for the right price!
A familiar story. It may spend some time alongside a Bally/Midway Big Bat. Another spotless mpu and a squawk&talk sound card buried in 800lbs of particle board.
Quoted from alexmogil:Thank you for doing that. I really wanted it but I am so glad you fixed it.
Two words: Road Trip!
