My guess is South Dakota. It's gotta be far but not insanely too far.

Good luck!! Ooo how rare??

Yes he is.

Yeah he posted pictures of other Future Spas- I saw the pictures of his game, none of you are missing out. Displays weren't working, backglass was ripped all across the bottom, playfield wasnt terrible but there was a big wear spot and the cabinet was faded to all hell. Would have been a fun project but not worth 500.

Aside from the missing decal on the backglass that POTO looks MUCH nicer than most.

Whoever gets this- I will pay you double for the ramp, wireframes and the boards. I have two cabinets and playfields and want to do a retheme on one.

Anyone interested in a High Speed cabinet with the back panel missing? Any offer accepted (comes with the backbox too although the backbox is significantly damaged)

IMG_20200612_104503_01 (resized).jpg

Just got sold. If someone on pinside bought it, I have everything it needs from a previous ES project, including the sinking building mod. I'll give you a good deal

Great deal for someone closer- Moulin Rouge is an awesome game.

I'm selling two Gorgar projects, both with above average playfields and cabinets, for 1800 for the pair. One is missing the MPU/CPU combo boards (but has an extra sound board). Other is complete with serviced boards. Both have very clean plastics. I'd love to work on them but I'm running out of space and have other projects in the wings. PM me if interested.

I messaged the guy, he was going to let me know how much shipping was and then disappeared. I'll text you if I hear anything more, might be a good 518 project for all of us.

Indianola, IA - $9500 for a warehouse full of arcade games- 9 pinball games (I can see a Data East game and 3 Paragons) and multiple pinball playfields. Killer deal for someone.

I was wondering if someone would make that connection. Yes it's the same guy.

If someone on here snags this shoot me a message- I need this for a current project. Thanks (potentially) in advance

Selling a project Data East Batman for $1300 (Let's call it "Build-A-Bat")

It's complete with some extra parts I've gathered for it
Backglass is a 10
Cabinet is a 9.5
Can also supply a pinsound for it for extra

Message me for details.

I played a gig once on Grand Island and a senior citizen was talking to us after the gig saying that the island was actually a nuclear waste dump once back in the 50s.. I have no idea if that's true or not but he was very adamant that it was and we shouldn't be playing there haha

If anyone is interested in a complete High Speed project I've got one that I'd move for 1500. (what I have into it) Includes a nice extra populated playfield and an extra lower cabinet. Everything you'd need for a restoration. No acid damage on the boards. BG is in good shape but I would add an unused CPR backglass for 300 too if you're interested. Meaning for a year to get around to it but as you all know... Too many projects.

That's super cool. Had no idea about that. Now I want to build one.

I saw that too but it's deceiving- it's a link to an auction site.

I can't like this enough. The more games we can snag to fix and make available for the public to play the better.

Jungle Queen for 250 in Somerset NJ

This is Coin Op Warehouse's - I actually bought this Counterforce last spring but they had issues with shipping so they refunded my money. Boards are in real rough shape. Cosmetically it's nice but you're going to have to completely go through it.

Edit- pending, and my bad, it's a solid state

It was a good race. Forceflow went to the basement, I went to the side room. I realized my mistake after 15 steps. When I raced downstairs and saw it Force had the tag in his hand. Well played, good sir

I've got a project Jungle Princess I'd be willing to part with for 500. BG has some definite flaking but BG Resto has informed me that they can do replacements. Playfield's in decent shape just dirty.

I have a space coin door, our powers combined.....

Edit take 2- reposted - see below:

Guys I just picked this last night (happened to be dropping off a game 15 mins away when the listing appeared) - repinned, recapped and bead blasted all the boards and it boots! Boards and backbox/cabinet is actually super clean compared to most games of that era. It will need an overhaul on the playfield tho, and I don't have the time/space to get to it. PENDING

Also if you're interested in a cheaper project - I have a project Gottlieb Jungle Princess EM (Jungle Queen 2 player) for 450. Never been tested but it's complete.

!!! Someone grab that and sell me the drop target assemblies!

Rare Prototype Bally Mystic project for 1500 in TX.

This.

Shorthand for someone messaged them about and gave them an offer they couldn't refuse.

https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/115025

Looks like a good deal for someone who really wants to take a weekend repinning connectors

I have a booting SBM project. Backglass had peeling on the bottom but I repaired and triple thicked it. PF has typical wear in the center. It was touched up "like a child" so I magic erased it. Will need some love cosmetically but it's complete and most of the boards are new. 950.

Silverball Mania. Sorry I thought Pinside knew that shorthand.

Not getting any luck with this seller- if anyone can get any sort of communication and wants to do a bulk sale, all I'm interested in is the woodrail.

I'm intrigued... Is it A443.5 or something?

Not a project but a killer deal for two desirable games: (2k each, WCS94 and Data East Star Trek) in MD

Supposedly HUO Time Zone project in NJ for $450 (but they say any fair offer would be considered)

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/317525489831774

It's so HUO that it has an operator sticker on it and a security bar.... LOL

That's rust??? Looks like a paint job!!

Nice pick, Frost Target Alpha is a killer game.

Hell, the drops on that game are worth 300 bucks now.

I have a complete Gottlieb Hot Shot (EM) project I'd sell for 300. Cabinet will need to be repainted but it's all there!

Yeah the whole ad kinda rubs me the wrong way- I've bought these kinds of projects before and have spent a TON of time and effort playing detective- almost always parts are wrong or missing. But I'd love for a Pinsider to pick one of these and show progress pictures. So someone more brave (naive) - go for it!

Pinbot...not a good game at all, don't mess with it. I mean it's got no good mechs, the layout is right flipper heavy, there's a bagatelle??? Who would like this game?

16267817689197747321621312324224 (resized).jpg

It's got a new mpu driver board, I would imagine it's going to shoot up in price by the end of the day.

Hell I sold my unshopped one a year ago for 1600 and then found out that my wife really liked the game... I would have kept it! Just an awesome unique layout.

They are still shipping, just not west coast to east coast, and vice versa. Due to COVID some locations are iffy about size restrictions though.

How easy is it to Google this game and check the value before you strip it? I mean at this point the drop mechanism is probably worth more than 300 dollars. That seller is the idiot of the year. He took the time and spent the energy taking it apart and then seems to revel in it.... Smh.

I've got a project flash in excellent cosmetic condition I'd be willing to deal, it boots and starts a game but I haven't looked much into it. Message me for pictures.

Update: Pending

Also they are always there (and for cheap) when you pick up a game and don't have the space in your car.

It's been reposted. Same price.

A ton of coin-ops in this online auction:

1935 Chicago Express https://www.auctionzip.com/auction-lot/chicago-express-coin-op-pinball-game_D4F40269CB/

And a ton of other non pinball relics - for my money that Chicago Express looks AWESOME. Insanely good condition.

My favorite of the original Gottlieb 7. Killer art work and the second flipper game in existence. Someone rescue this!

Luckily as far as rethemes go, it's one of the easiest fixes ever for you. They essentially already primed the cabinet.

Yeah that's an awesome group of games. Both Gold Strike and Lucky Hand are super addicting (haven't played Team One)

Still worth it! Congrats on the pick up!

The art on that is amazing. So... she's the queen of.... a swimsuit competition?

I've got a slight project, booting Escape From The Lost World that I'd pass along for what I have into it- 1600. Playfield is in great condition, cabinet is good, has the original playfield glass with decals. Displays are gassing. Playfield fuse is blowing so the solenoids aren't working, but the flippers are functioning nice and strong- honestly haven't looked into it. Will come with new rubbers and some spare parts. Just needing to clear some space out. Let me know if you're interested, or else I'll be working on it this week.

Playmatic game in pretty good condition, doesn't start a game but looks clean.

Old Chicago! Someone get this!
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/805559120842669/?ref=facebook_story_share

Might end up being a parts machine depending on the moisture, but if that backglass is still good it's still worth it. I'd love for the game to be saved though! Blackout is a killer game and there needs to be more of them in the world.

Where does it say they have the backbox?

Oh god. Yeah someone stop that from happening. They do know that a complete pinball will always be worth more than some tacky "upcycle" shit, right?

Yeah pretty much the goal of this thread is saving pinballs from becoming coffee tables.

I just gotta say, @HydrogenHuman, you've been on fire lately with these posts. I picked up that project Road Kings a page or so back.... it's definitely rough, but I love working on System 11s so it's therapeutic. Anywho... thank you for your service.

Yeah I echo gdonovan here... If anyone wants mystery boards I will sell some at way better prices than that, I have a ton of Williams system x. 1000 for a ton of dead boards ain't worth it, better off just buying one off eBay if you're totally stuck.

Really *Bad* Girls sold for 800. Any Pinsider get it? Would love to see the restoration.

Guy's an idiot. A game is worth more complete than parted out right now. There's replacements for most of the classic Bally stuff, you're not going to get top dollar for crap used parts.

Best part is they only had to replace 3 insert letters to retheme it! (PARAGON to CARTOON) So they were "crafty" AND lazy!

Genie is a SUPER underrated game. Congrats! Throw a power ball in it

Yeah that's a killer price nowadays- overlay looks good! Would be interesting to see how it plays.

I've seen like only a couple scams here, most are craigslist or Mr Pinball ads from new posters. (Btw don't believe anything on Mr Pinball) I'd like to also echo MaxAsh's post here- 95% of pinball people I've met are down to earth, non cutthroat, people that are just happy FOR you getting deals. I'm definitely in that camp. And you know what the easiest way to score deals on projects is? Build positive relationships with other pinheads. Tell people what you're looking for. I mentioned to a few fellow Pinsiders that I was looking for a project Road Show a few years back... I didn't even know the source but 4 different people messaged me when one came up. (coincidentally from MaxAsh himself) Be respectful, don't piss people off in this hobby and good things happen.

You are correct.

Ah yes one of the most NSFW backglasses in pinball

True, but I still think it's hilariously trashy.

State Fair for $200 in Fenton MO. Needs a BG.

I'm going to be selling some projects I just couldn't get to this summer. I have a half-booting Gottlieb Buck Rogers in pretty nice shape that will include a $500 4 in 1 flippp board... most likely just needs repinning connectors as it's in pretty good shape, including the playfield- 1200 OBO. I have a booting Hook with a nice playfield that needs to be gone through but will include new ramps (including a windcoaster ramp)- 2k OBO. Shoot me a message if you're interested.

I've only seen a 70s Gottlieb have one and yes I'm pretty sure that it was from the factory and untouched.

Ah hi score pool....the Popeye of EMs.

That's gotta be dirt/dust, right? If not that family played a TON of pinball.

Show the underside though, that's going to be a major project.

Edit: will be making a formal post

There's a Bally Beat The Clock in NJ someone should grab, needs some work. I could use a scan of one of those plastics so if one of you picks this up let me know!
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/757159072560606/?mibextid=dXMIcH

I now have two booting Paragon projects in my possession. (including a nice spare playfield) - I'm going to be putting a listing together for all 2 1/2 games for $3k. I figure you could make one nice one of out them both, (one has a nice cab) sell it and then have a player's condition one as profit. I'd do it myself but I have absolutely no time. Let me know if you're interested.

There's some good deals in there... if the games are complete. Surf N Safari for 1400? Taxi for 1800? Nice pickups for whoever got them.

Both great games! I'd snag that Rocket III if it was closer.

Is that a playfield glass made out of packaging tape?

Way to ruin the magic for me.

Anyone want a Hook project? SOLD - thanks everyone who inquired.

I have a Pin2DMD ColorDMD (currently set up for a virtual pinball machine but that can be changed) that was dropped and damaged by an "undisclosed family member". From what I've read you can replace the damaged panel pretty easily. (And cheaply) It has a power supply in the back and power cord so you wouldn't need to connect it to the board like other Color DMDs. My loss is your gain. $150 shipped.

Trying to clear out some space-

Laser Cue booting project, $950 (see marketplace)
High Speed booting project (just one solenoid needs looking at, everything else boots and plays, all other solenoids and flippers work) $1950
Williams Ginger (woodrail) super cool 40s game with retrofitted flippers. Was playing, now just booting to tilt. $350

There's also a Chicago Coin Hi Score Pool in there which is pretty unique- https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1161

Almost like it was copied from somewhere on the internet....

Luckily there are companies that manufacture new Stern cabinets. That's probably going to be your best option. (Granted, much more expensive than a donor)
