huh, there's a Krull for sale in Denver for 300 bucks that doesn't work. IPDB says only 10 were made?
This 1978 Space Riders in Denver seems to be in great shape for 850 bucks

Holy Hell, I shoulda kept my old Card Whiz. I can't remember how much I sold it for, but I'm sure it was only for about $250.
Albeit that was back in about 1992. How prices change huh? 5 grand, they're kidding! 
Quoted from ccotenj:yea, see my edit... smells scammy to me, especially since they are encouraging shipping...
Great, so CL is full of scammers. Who woulda guessed? 
Here's a nice old flipperless woodrail from 1950 for sale in Denver for a grand.

Nice one PMcGee. Cool story how you got it. 80 bucks? Score!
I just played a quick virtual version of 300 to remind me how it plays. Not bad, and it reminds me of Centigrade 37.
wow Dirt, you're up late scouring Craigslist.
There's a 1974 Williams 'Big Ben' for 500 bucks in Denver.
denver.craigslist.org link
And a few other machines as well...
A 1977 Bally 'Night Rider' for 250 bucks. Probably an SS?
fortcollins.craigslist.org link
A 1980 Game Plan 'Super Nova' for 800 bucks.

It's not a hot dog, 
but there's a 1974 Williams Lucky Ace for 300 bucks near Denver.

And a 72 Bally Little Joe as well if you want to spend 3 times as much

There's a 1973 Williams 'Darling' at a yard sale in Denver this weekend.
Might be a good buy for somebody if the seller doesn't ask much for it.
Here's a funny ad to read from Denver / Fort Collins. No idea what the 'vintage pinball' is though.

There's a 1961 Gottlieb 'Foto Finish' at an estate sale near Denver this weekend.
Might be a good machine for somebody to grab. Besides, 1961 was a great year.

A 1973 Williams OXO in Denver for a mere 170 bucks?
Oh look, one of those scam gmail addresses I was warned about. Great

Here's a nice old 1962 Williams 'Mardi Gras' for 300 bucks in Denver. Could be a good fixer upper.
I'd buy it myself to fix up if I had the bucks. One day.
wow, a Magnotron for 50 bucks? Hell. I used to play Duotron to death when I was a teen, as it was the only pin in town, so it was the pinball that got me wanting to own my own some day and sparked my interest in Pinballs back in the late 70's. (Magnotron is the 4 player version of it)
I'll have to drive down to Texas one day to play it if you end up getting it in your collection 2Flipped Out.
Edit, sorry it sold. Oh well, somebody got a nice cheap machine.
Yep, lol. There's a Revenge From Mars, Congo, Paragon and a Firepower all for sale in Denver right now. (not EM's I know)
If I had a nice fat wallet full of Benjamins, I'd be making road trips every day. Sigh
Hit The Deck is an interesting machine. I nearly bought one back in the early 90's but it didn't have a back glass so I let it pass. I say interesting as it's an EM but the score reels were painted black with red LED style numbers painted on them. But the one for sale in the ad looks to be the normal black on white reels? Must have been 2 versions I guess.
ah okay, that makes sense, there wouldn't be an alternate version then. That 'Hit The Deck' I saw many years ago was the only one I've ever seen, and I haven't seen a Neptune, the add-a-ball version.

Here's a World Series (72 Gottlieb) outside Denver going for $750. Add-a-Ball and only 775 made.
Might be a good resto project for someone.
Here's a 1957 Gottlieb "Majestic" woodie for 500 bucks near Denver at a garage sale that starts in an hour. Terrible photo the seller put up, but it could be okay. At least the lights work.

Still riding?? I wish, but no, I'm too old now Yeah I loved my RM, had a fantastic time on it, but like jr above, if I rode one now I'd probably kill myself trying to do wheelies like I used to.
I know what you're sayin'. I miss my motocross days. I ride a nice 29'er mountain bike nowadays. I found out the hard way how deadly my hydraulic disk brakes are. 
I went straight over the bars into the dirt. Gotta learn to squeeze em gentle!
ps. thanks for all the thumbs up on my old pic guys. Appreciate it.
Good to hear, sorry about your leg though. I rode a friends KTM 370 back in '02. Great machine. Tons of power and I really enjoyed it. He had a CRF450 that he modded quite a bit. That was fantastic fun but powerful as hell. Not for the feint of heart.
Anybody have a "Drop A Card" ('71 Gottlieb) they need some parts for?
Here's a machine being parted out just down the road from me. Another pin bites the dust. 
edit: maybe I should cross-post this into the EM parts wanted thread
Quoted from Pin-it:OMG this is a riot.
1975 Near Mint Gottlieb WedgeHead $4000 (Delray Beach)FL

Hells Bells ! I burst out laughing when I read "4 grand" then the bit about "perfect shape" and "needs Windex"
I wasn't aware that Windex was a magical potion that made old pinball machines as good as new!!
I'm gonna rush out and buy some now! 
There's a "Prospector" pin going in Denver this morning for $375 that sounds pretty good.
Even comes with a new set of rubbers. No photo but I assume it's the 1977 Spanish Sonic machine.
There's a rare Spanish "Torpedo!!" pin going in Denver this morning for $1200 that looks quite nice.
An EM with chimes and an electronic sound board. That's different. Needs some fixing but has a schematic at least.
Quoted from stashyboy:It does look to be in good shape. I've played the virtual pinball version and always thought it was fun. A bit pricey, but cool theme and likely plays well.
There's a virtual version of it? For which sim? Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to go and find it now...

Nice steaks I BBQ'd myself a nice ribeye last night as the wife is away interstate working so I'm batching at the moment. I didn't think to take a photo to show you guys.
and yeah, they're not cheap, like 16 bucks a pound now at Costco.

Quoted from Pin-it:1964 Williams Heat Wave - $375 (Colorado Springs)
That's just down the road from me! Wish I had some $$ to go and get it. Looks like a nice project machine.
Yes Pin-it, I noticed. If I had the $$ I'd grab it. You could always buy it and I'll store it at my house for you to come and get at your leisure. 
huh, I was painting a 4 Roses back-glass in Photoshop a few weeks ago for something to do, then this pops up. Weird

I was just thinking about Chris last night as I hadn't seen him post for a while. I don't know him personally but have always enjoyed reading his posts. I hope you recover soon Chris and we all hear from you again soon.

haha, tell me about it. I'm a computer tech and when people call me on the phone and I ask what PC they have they say "its a Pentium with Microsoft on it" 
Yeah I noticed the stick on stars... a few fell off. Some people. sigh
I found the Abra ad/horror story... 400 bucks and pulled from the trash? Okaaaay.

I wonder if that's the one I looked at back in '91 for 150 bucks? lol. It didn't have a backglass back then so maybe Rory bought it and put in an old backglass from some other old dunger? Who knows
but 3200?? he's dreamin'

yep, it is nice having you back Chris. I missed all your posts while you were gone but you've caught back up in a hurry!
mmm I'd love that Sky Divers. I spent months restoring that back glass in Photoshop so this pin has special meaning for me now. I'll have to buy one some day.
well thank you very much Chris. Certainly appreciated. When I get in the market to buy some pins it'll be nice to have some pinsider contacts.

No idea what it is, but its a Zaccaria game. Those 2 pop bumpers give it away as Combat has them too Mid 70's? Looks nice though, go and buy it.
Is it Aerobatics by Zaccaria? (1977) I only have a backglass pic, not the playfield so I can't be sure, but the planes are the same so it must be.

You recycling now o-din? We've seen that avatar pic a few months back.
I look forward to seeing what new avatar you come up with next, lol
yes, nice game Chris, but San Diego is a long road trip from your joint. Be sure to pick me up on your way
I used to own a Wild Life many years ago. I wouldn't mind getting another one some day, but yeah, that cabinet needs a lick of paint...

huh, thats funny that was posted as I just happen to be moving to Grand Junction in 2 weeks time.
I'll have to find out how many Pinsiders are there for me to look up.
lol Chris, I hear ya. Snowed all last week here non-stop and we got buried a bit. My wife couldn't even get her car out of the driveway yesterday, as it's too slippery. Had to get towed out. Hope she can get out tonight. The suns out for a change, so maybe...
