Quoted from ruralcollector:I did reach out to him, but have had no response I had that ad in the back of my head when I bought the Haunted House.
That'd be the perfect deal. Keep trying to get ahold of him. Of course some guys list things and then don't take down the ads for a long time.
Yeah, what's the post-mortem? I'm driving 3 hrs for mine this weekend. Players condition, but at a price that reflects it. So I can't complain.
Quoted from HHaase:The one down in Lincoln on Craigslist? That one I believe is the same guy I bought my Lectronamo from, and he's a pinsider (DoTheDoo).. Nice collection, make sure to play his Xenon! Good guy to buy from. Narrow basement stairs.
If that's the case, before you go, make sure he explains the modified ramps to you. It's fun but definitely changes the gameplay.
Don't think so. It's a guy who goes by Troxel on pinside, and he's got a repair business called Troxel Repairs. The ad was on Pinside and Facebook. It's archived now on Pinside. I think the ramps are normal, at least I hope so!
Kind of a fun website. He's got a repair/pinball blog, which has a lot really great articles, and he sells circuit-breaker fuses (handy things!). They're the ones that have been listed on the pinmap classifieds for a while. He is right by Lincoln though. In Adams, NE.
Quoted from HHaase:Gotcha. Different machine and seller then. Not familiar with him at all.
Yep. So what was with the ramps on the Mousin' you were thinking of? Also, I wonder why Lincoln seems to be the pinball mecha of the area. Always seem to be way more machines for sale there, than in Omaha or Sioux Falls, or anywhere else around here.
I think there's a guy by the name of something Lanpher that has like hundreds (maybe thousands?) of pins in a warehouse of his down there. Crazy stuff!
Quoted from cottonm4:At the end of the ramps are trap doors to slow the ball down a little before it rolls in front of the flipper. The doors are held in with screws. Remove those trap doors and the difference in your reflex speed that is needed is tremendous. I played a MA at TPF last year. Played it twice and walked. Then I played the one Hans is talking about. I was ready to dig deep and take that one home.
If you like them fast, take the doors off. You can always put them back on.
For anyone interested, the one I bought DID have the end-of-ramp trapdoors removed! Guess, it's a common mod down by Lincoln. Dang the ball comes out fast! I put the doors back on, but I'm thinking I might take them off again when I shop it this week. I kinda like how it plays with them removed now.
Quoted from dozer1:Speaking of which, I think my high is 46,191,xxx . Just went down stairs to check and of course played about 5 games while I was at it. No jackpots tonight though. last game I had it maxed out for 3 balls and couldn't collect it to save me life.
Damn, that's a score! Holy cow. Granted, I'm still getting used to it, but I'm lucky to crack 3 mil. Funny thing is, my daughter is the GC of the house with 4.1 mil. Still don't know how she managed it, she's only 7!
