Quoted from ArcadeRaid:

I'm still waiting for a neighbor to say, "Oh hey, I have this space shuttle game that doesn't work anymore. I was going to throw it out, you want it?" I'm not holding my breath though!

That's how I got my Middle Earth that I recently sold. Got a phone call from a friend, "Hey, i just dropped my daughter off at her friend's house. They have a pinball machine in the trash. You interested?" Rumor was that no one played it anymore and they had it in the basement since 1983.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Time 2000 is a pretty hard one to find. Too bad about the backglass, though.
That's a pretty good haul of parts along with it too.

Although, I'd have to say, the backglass is the best part of Middle Earth. Slowest game ever.

They want $12k for that TZ.... yikes!

#15193 4 years ago
Quoted from nascarrey:

No worries.
You're right on the pricing....but sometimes they DO presell (youll have to ask seller usually). They'll usually reduce the price as the sale goes on, so theres some diamonds in the rough out there that can be scooped up at a good price...

starting at 12k, max reduction down to 6k. No pre-sell, even for asking price.

Quoted from too-many-pins:

A coffee table is about the best thing to do with a Contact Pin. Originally I was really excited when I found our first one but after playing it a couple times I realized by the time the ball got down to the flippers you had time to go grab a cup of coffee. What was odd to me is the playfield is basically the same as Space Mission and Space Mission is a decent playing machine. But that super wide body just makes gameplay so so slow it is hard to say anything positive about Contact!

Sounds like Middle Earth. That was painfully slow, watching the ball do slow, 2 foot arcs for 10 seconds between flipper hits.

I found an Atari Middle Earth at the curb that was being thrown away. In amazing condition too. Was HUO for 35 years after a 3 year stint in a bowling alley.

Quoted from Mathazar:

Speaking of Sonic Butterfly, this posted recently in the Denver area for $1K:
cosprings.craigslist.org link
OP:
- Absolutely stunning pin with vibrant colors! Very few made and few great ones survived
- Plays and works 100%. Challenging game with strong coils and numerous fun shots.
- Very detailed internal restoration of every internal part. Pictures speak for themselves.
- Complete detailed teardown, cleaning, tuning, fixes and rebuild.
- Original plastics in great condition – no cracks or breaks, except 1 plastic carefully recreated due to “unobtainium” part.
- BEAUTIFUL backglass in MINT condition - stunning!! (If not mint its as close as it gets)
- BEAUTIFUL playfield!! Zero planking with original durable clear coat. These were known to have very nice playfields. Very minor ball trail at playfield top (see pic) and minor shooter wear at ball eject.
- Tasteful leds. Have incandescent bulbs if wanted.
- New rubbers, coil sleeves and replacement parts as needed. Manual copy included.
- Set to free play with easy jumper removal if desired.
- Cabinet does have fade, and some wear spots but presents very well. Replaced removable head panel.
- Sonic brand – Williams parts.
- Smoke free home.
- Will stage in garage for easy breakdown and pickup.
- Serious inquiries only, please.

I think that's the cleanest EM that I have ever seen.

Lockdown bar issue
Pretty easy fix and great price if you're close
Smyrna, TN

#17469 3 years ago
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

It’s also listed on Pinside, I remember seeing the ad.
I guess he snapped the little tab off the lockdown bar.
Why are they so fragile on Capcoms?

If the sliding mech gets gunked up, it doesn't slide and the tab starts to bend. Force it and it snaps.

Capcoms have the best speaker panels though. That hinge is awesome.

Quoted from HydrogenHuman:

Hook for $1500
Seller detailed a lot of issues it has,, which I've quoted below:
"Hook pinball machine. We just picked this one up, but it has several problems that need to be addressed, and we are not willing to put any more money or time into it.
The bad:
- DMD is out gassing. It takes a while for it to warm up to the point where all lines are visible.
- Sound board is rebooting frequently. I suspect it’s a power supply problem as it looks like there is some suspect repair work that has been done in the past.
- Interlock switch on the coin door is not working, so high voltage to the coils is not being disabled as it should when coin door is opened.
- lockdown bar receiver is bent and should probably be replaced
- shooter assembly is missing an oilite bushing
- cabinet is a bit beat up. The bottoms of the sides specifically have some spots where the plywood is delaminating.
- someone cut one of the wires to the knocker coil, and the knocker is not working
- the lockdown bar and legs have been poorly spray painted over the original worn powder coating
- there’s holes in the front from a security bar that was probably over the coin door at some point
- the lock for the translite isn’t currently installed as the previous owner didn’t have the key
- some broken plastics
- low quality inner art blades which are ripping
- there may be other issues as well that we haven’t found yet.
The good:
- NVRAM installed, and I don’t see any battery corrosion on the MPU board
- LEDs throughout
- Playfield itself is in decent shape with minimal wear
- it comes with the latest 5.01 unofficial code from 2018
- flippers seem strong"

Boards are green. That one scared me a bit.

#17882 3 years ago
Quoted from gdonovan:

I looked at pics, yikes if all the boards are shot. Would be hard pass at 1k and it needs cab.
Frankly looking at the pictures again, $500 parts machine. EVERYTHING has rust on it and the displays not so hot either.

I was talking to him yesterday. Trying to get a better pic of the boards, he said the metal plate behind the boards is completely rusted. I think i'd max out at $500 in this condition.

#17961 3 years ago

Did anyone see that cheap Theatre of Magic posted this morning on Facebook for 4750? Seller named Max Nicholas. His pics mirrored a sale from a few years ago. Labels on the boards moved in ever close up picture I requested.

It is a fun one. The seller is supposed to send me some pics tonight.

I can grab and hold if you nail it down.

Quoted from nascarrey:

I actually like Fresca!
Gave up sodas 10 years ago, but once in a while i'll indulge in a 2L.....

I love Fresca. Strangely when it's room temperature. Probably because my roommate in college hated fresca and I had no fridge. So I only bought Fresca.

Anyone making a trip out this way soon? That is so cool looking!

Man... You want everything!

#18433 3 years ago
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

Correction:
Everything *weird* sir!
Nothing cool and strange ever comes up in NY. The Spectra’s and the weird cocktails are all out west!!

You take Syracuse and East, I got West.

Quoted from zacaj:

And I'm just stuck here in the middle? :/

I'm fine with that

#18460 3 years ago
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

Saw this, are you sure it’s in NY? Seems to be across the border.

Yup, NY. Grand Island. It's like the Delaware of islands.

#18497 3 years ago
Quoted from Ritewing:

It wouldnt be a stretch. I have never heard that, and I live in the area, but who knows. The Manhattan Project had a facility no more than three miles from the bridge onto Grand Island. There were clean up projects at that facility, that was adjacent to a large town park and golf course. My friends and relatives played there all the time. There was a small creek that flowed through the place. It had black water that bubbled up all kinds of smelly oily crap.
Knowing what I know now I would have stayed clear of that. I ended up in there inadvertently a few times while sledding.

Sounds like you're describing tonawada or south buffalo. I was working at praxair for a bit. The guys i was working with told me how one day their building was relocated and the company had removed 6' of soil around all of the nearby buildings due to radioactivity. Who knows how much they had been exposed to while working in the basement.
