I love our Vulcan, which is the four-player version, but you're right that at $1,500 this is seriously overpriced (based on my admittedly limited experience!).
Quoted from AlexF:Fire Queen is the more desirable of the two. Cooler back glass.
I get that, but I greatly prefer having a four player.
Quoted from Wickerman2:Great game, if it's solid--backglass/paint etc. that's a good price...not "bargain basement" but good.
Sold mine for $500, which was stupid. It was in fine shape and definitely worth more.
Quoted from ccotenj:he hit me at a pretty good speed...
Sorry to hear that. I was hit by a cyclist a few years ago. Cyclists are, understandably, worried about being hit, but they might not realize how much damage they can do to a pedestrian.
I had an excellent Volley with all new plastics, etc., that I sold for $500 (and on which I lost about $300). I regret it every time I see the game mentioned!
It's local to me, but there is no way I could find room for it. Otherwise, I'd be over there checking it out, for sure.
Actually, there are several pin collectors in the area, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is snapped up quickly.
Quoted from jrpinball:Grab the "Flip A Card" in NH while you're heading that way.
My thoughts exactly!
Quoted from John_in_NC:What's the furthest any of you have personally driven to get a machine.
I am about to drive to central Florida to pick up a Bowling Queen. I drove there once before to get my LOTR. In July, I drove to Massachusetts to pick up another pin. That's the extent of my range--so far.
Quoted from pinballdork:And Paradise's Ugly drunk sister, Pleasure Isle.
A shame. I'd much rather get the AAB version, but not in this case. I really want to get a good two-player AAB someday.
Quoted from AlexF:Only 230 made, two backless animations, one of the few true multi-player AABs and it's got the cool passing kick outs.
Now you have my attention! Hope I come across one of these someday. Chances are I have already but, foolishly, I overlooked it since it was an EM. Ah, my misspent youth...
Quoted from 1974DeltaQueen:I sent an email on the El Dorado, I will be up in that area tomorrow.
Sounds like it could be a heck of a find.
Quoted from goldenboy232:Friendship 7 in Tacoma
Just put that on my wish list yesterday, but I wasn't wishing for it to be on the opposite side of the country!
This is the second time this month I wished I lived in Wisconsin. Soon enough, winter will arrive, and I'll be glad to be in NC.
It's easy to see how some people end up with fifty or five hundred pins. I'd love to have another AAB, and that Capt. Card is tempting. Sigh...
I think the clown on Cyclone is fine, for instance, but at least one of the clowns on FC is downright creepy!
That's relatively close to me, and I thought briefly about giving it a look, but I just don't think it's an attractive pin (especially the backglass), so I wouldn't want it in my collection. I had a chance at a nearly perfect Mibs for the same price and had to pass on it for the same reason. Just once, I'd like to love the looks of a pin that everyone else thinks is ugly!
Quoted from boilerman:get it and use it as trade bait... it is a good game so I am sure others might want it
I don't have much free space, so every game has to count. Still, if I can get time tomorrow, it might be worth a look.
Quoted from DirtFlipper:It's probably only a Space Walk.
I guess we'll never know.
"I no nothing else as is not going to plug in no debating no taking it apart whats in pictures is what I have and that's all $1200."
Well, I'm convinced!
Anybody know what the story is with this guy on Mr. Pinball? He has a lot of desirable titles in multiple listings, but it all sounds too good to be true. For example:
Turf Champ, Hayburners, Jalopy, Spark Plugs, Sea Jockeys, Control Tower, Freshie, Majorettes, Hong Kong, Twenty Grand, Silver Skates, Fairway, Army Navy, Band Wagon, Piccadilly, Hot Diggity, Starfire, Kings, Reno, Jig Saw, Kick Off, 4-star, Casino, 3-D, Tic Tac Toe, 1950s, 1960s Williams: 250 per game pick any 150 games from my lists

Cincinnati, Ohio
If it is legit and you're going there, I'd love to have you pick up something for me if we can work things out. But, as I said, it all sounds too good to be true.
Thanks. I really don't have my hopes up. It's too far for me to pop over, so that greatly reduces the chances that I'd buy anything. I did want to mention it, all the same. I didn't know if it was something new or an old story.
I'd happily buy it if I lived closer (but for the $975, not the $3k). Still, I'd prefer to get a Melody. It's on my short, short list.
You know you're in trouble whenever the ad mentions the age of the machine!
I guess "for my age" I'm in pretty good shape, too...
