I picked this up Saturday morning

Such a strange combination of playfield / backglass and cabinet.

Woodrail collection in NJ, Facebook group.

Picking up in the morning

I need another project pin like I need another hole in my head but here I go again !

Picked up the Blackout this morning but it's still in the car until the backyard dries out a bit (freaking rain this past week). Great seller who actually got a call for it while I was taking off the legs but sad story. He bought it for his wife about 12 years ago and she played it until it stopped working last year and then she passed away this spring. He debated getting it fixed but wasn't really a pinball guy so he sold it.

Oh no the BG came into the house when it got home. The rest moved in about 2 hours ago.

I thought that as well at first and then I realized that he was holding the backglass (his hand is in the upper left corner) upright in front of the backbox so the display holes are not aligned with the displays. I think he's talking about the backglass when he says "the front board was removed" and just doesn't know how to put it back in.

My first thought was to hide a bad wear spot on the playfield but in the middle picture you can see the spot under the mousetrap so it's not that. I'm more concerned with all of the dried white stuff on the glass and lockdown bar (for a playboy pin)

Tons of train wrecks but I'm local so I'll be there and who knows how it will turn out. I will say the last auction there for arcade machines brought some really high prices so there is obviously interest in the area.

I was there today, most of the projects went for what I would consider "ok" prices, the working games were pretty high. Many of the games in the online listings that didn't show boards actually had boards in person (not sure what that was about). I jotted down most of the prices in case anybody is curious

Sorry, that would be me although I won't be able to pick it up until this weekend to really figure out what the hell is going on with Shrek back glass. It's an oddball enough machine that for $200 I couldn't pass it up.

Yeah I need another project like I need another hole in my head but when I saw how little information there was out there on it I figured I’ve wasted $200 on worse ideas. Add in the fact that the play field and plastics looked to be complete (and I had a glass of bourbon in my hand) the damn buy it now button just called my name.
I’m picking it up Saturday morning so I should be able to post up some more details Saturday evening / Sunday morning.

If I was ready to get rid of them I would, unfortunately I still have room so I haven’t reached the point of getting rid of any.

For those wondering, here is my post on the Peyper Wolf Man / Shrek combo:

I picked up the Valencia yesterday, in beautiful condition and working apart from a few bulbs.

I knew about the auction before I saw this post. I actually found the post when searching the forum for Valencia

Sorry I didn't see it when I got there although I will say that the Valencia was much nicer than described so I would guess the Hot Shots was as well.

Tempted by the Swing machine but complete lack of any pricing and a sale over 3 days sounds like way too much effort.

I say this exact thing every time I click on this post......

I've bought a few machines from Lloyd (and his son Ben) when I saw pricing inline with value / what I was willing to spend. That said this Funhouse sale blew my mind.

And that said the Hurricane with the expanding light board and no bottom for $700..........

LOL might want to update your profile location then I'm in Honeybrook and was trying to figure out how Reading was that close to you ! (I don't have any room either)

Annnnnnd apparently I need a nap.
