I'll be in the market very soon for a new pin once one shows up local, but none of those would be it.

Quoted from Pin-it:It would be hard for me to take a machine that is close to operating and in decent shape to vulturize <(if thats a word!) it for parts than to either keep it intact or flip it after a service/clean-up.
That's how I feel with an EM. Could not even do it with a cracked Playfield and trashed Backglass, as all the mechanical parts were there and it worked so when I sold my Williams King Pin it was to a guy who was going to get her going again and not part it out. 
Ken
Quoted from way2wyrd:I just picked up a 100$ Motordome on fri. NOt an EM but hell if i could pass that up
Way to go Jeff!
I'm the same way if I see a complete pin for $100.00.
Ken
Quoted from Pafasa:A gottlieb centigrade 37 came up on omaha Craigslist at 11:45 on Friday. I didn't see it until 12:45. Called on it ready to buy and the guy said it sold within ten minutes and the buyer had already picked it up. Wanna know why????? $200!! That's why!
Sorry you missed out.
Can't do anything about that Pafasa as it is like winning the lottery on that one unless you plan to camp out on Craigs List 24/7 from now on. 
Ken
Local deal of the day for me...........oh boy! 
Looks like the seller is trying to strike it rich in Boise from a sap. 
I wrote and told them I bought my Klondike for $450 in Boise 6 months ago so they should re-think their selling price...........no response from the seller to me of course.
Ken
Quoted from SteveFury:Here's a great classic find for someone.
Here's another one local to me Stevefury and it's even more rare. 
At least this guy is ready to barter.
Ken
There's been about four EM's for sale in my area this month, but none of them are what I want. 
Everything I do want is either 6-1/2 to 8 hours for a one way drive, no thanks.
I could have picked up a nice Bally Hi-Deal for $500.00, like the layout, but the artwork is just too cartoon/childish for me. I would rather have a Hang Glider even though it is a multiplayer.
Ken
Quoted from stashyboy:was like watching paint dry.........
I like watching paint dry when it's 90 degrees out and I'm on my 3rd margarita. 
Ken
Still hunting for a pin on my wishlist local to me but nothing yet. Great thing is I am in no rush as I am in the middle of a Shopout and have another full one after that so I can wait a couple months if need be.

Quoted from o-din:This one looks interesting. Pretty rare too.
Someone should pick that one up so they can join the Chicago Coin Club with some of us on Pinside. 
Opps! My Bad. Yes it is a Gottlieb, so the Chicago Coin Club will adjourn..... for now.

Quoted from Pin-it:2 Pinball Machines! :Sunset, & Travel Time - $200 (Southampton )
Nice price for Travel Time seeing the condition looks really good.
Ken
That's a real great deal for a 2001 at $250.00 stashboy. If it were local to me I would grab it in a heartbeat!
Definitely needs the full Shopout though.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Bon voyage - $600 (Caldwell )
boise.craigslist.org linkAnother subliminal message pinball.
That's just up the road 20 minutes from me. Can't buy it though. No money, no room, and were moving on top of that! 
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:This one is a nice player. Sure Shot pinball machine - $695
Looks like the Playfield has seen better days. 
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Backglass alone is worth it
Look Close....Backglass is shot so figure another $225.00 for a new one, lots of Playfield Touchup, and a complete Shopout. Been there done that.... and it's fun!
Ken

$200.00 for a Jive time in good overall shape is a good deal for someone local.
Quoted from Prmailers:That would look good next to my Dyn-o-mite, but not worth the 10+ hour round trip!
For this Pin I have to agree with you.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:1968 Lady Luck pinball machine - $350 (College station)
Looks like one for Jeff Pin-it seeing he is in Austin.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Williams Miss O 1969 EM Pinball Machine - $550 (Evansville IN)
Looks nice, I bet the seller would take $450.00 cash and carry from a local buyer.
Don't know the person, just a hunch. 
Ken
Quoted from textrivers:Yeah, I'll have a Beef Burrito Supreme combo meal, and can I get a Taco Conversion with that as well?"
OK, now I'm hungry, and want to play pinball at the same time 
Ken
Quoted from neutrino:Here's a Fan-Tas-Tic near Detroit. The game looks kind of funky, but apparently it's pretty fun according to IPDB reviews.
I would think for as nice a shape it is in it for the price should sell pretty quick.
Ken
Quoted from o-din:but I'm still trying to figure out what's festering on the playfield glass, right above the lockdown bar.
It would be one of those deals for me that I would have to inspect the Pin in person to determine if a "Fungus is among us"
Ken
Quoted from o-din:Here we go again. So many pins, so little room.
Nah, that "Space Time" that's for sale on Ebay would be a much better player and worth paying the extra money for it.
Come o-din, you know you want that "Space Time"...................remember it's close to you too.........just need to make a little bit more room.........................
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:artwork is not my cup of tea, but it's only 100 bucks...
Well that's a deal that won't last long!
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:i kinda like this game...
I have a Space Odyssey 2 player and yes it is fun. If the Space Mission did not have planking it would be worth the $500.00 IMO.
Ken
Quoted from o-din:Hi guys! I'm going to look at this one after work. Any opinions?
Hey o-din.
Grab that Bally Delta Queen! That's one on my Wishlist. There was one in Idaho a ways from me I didn't get that was a good deal but I will find one in the future.
Never played it but it seems to have all the right stuff which is hard to find on a EM Bally IMO.
Ken
Quoted from o-din:I think it the artwork looks really cool. What about the price? How far should I haggle?
If it were in great shape all the way around and I was going to buy it I would offer $750.00 as long as it worked 100% as stated but that is because I want the game.
If indeed it has a faded Backglass and has other minor issues then for me maybe $500.00.
Just my 2 cents.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:You have got to be kidding?
PINBALL MACHINE, 1976 Surf Champ, 1 of 3000 - $2800
Maybe it has a real 18k Gold Coin Door? That must it.
Ken
Quoted from IntoPinball:Gottlieb's Spin Out...
Ad says: Nice single play Indy Race spin out machine. Made by Gottlieb in the mid 70's, will need a little tweaking, not used much in the last 10 years.
Me: In other words, needs a complete Shopout.
Looks nice though.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:1977 Sonic Prospector
OK. Now I am sad. I hope one of these comes around my area when I'm ready for it. 
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Talk about low price.
Not bad for the Tropic Fun at $225.00 especially from a pawn shop or antique store.
Bet it has a fried coil shorting blowing the fuse.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Another sprite.
I like Seven Up better Pin-it.
Seriously though, this Williams game looks fun, artwork is nice, and I would not mind owning one down the road.
Too bad they never made a Squirt Pinball Machine based off the soda. One of my favorites as a kid.
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:you are really making me want to suck it up and go get that one in maryland...
i need another project like i need a hole in the head right now though...
Come on Chris, you know you want it. Besides, It will be pretty to look at while it's in your Que to be Shopped.
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:and since i'm hoping to sell the 4 square soon,
That's funny, I sold my 4 Square a while back as well. Just did not have enough going on for me.
Now a Gottlieb Sure Shot is a different story! When I find that It's not going anywhere.
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:the only problem with pinside is that it is full of enablers
No............your not serious are you? We would never do that to you Chris.........much.
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:yea... y'know, it's funny, it's not that i don't like the game, but i like others better... it's a real solid example of "good em play", and it's the favorite of my bestie, but it's time to rotate it out... i'd rather sell something than store it...
That's exactly how I felt about the game too!
Good play, a classic, but I am limited with a small arcade and there are other pins out there that interest me more for Gameplay.
Ken
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Sure Shot and Bank Shot are awesome games - great shots all over the p/f!
I had a Bank Shot AAB and it was great fun, but had a minor mechanical problem I could not fix back before I really knew how to fix EM's and sold it. If I had the game today I could have fixed the problem in 10 minutes if that and would have kept the game until a Sure Shot came along.
Well, not a huge deal as I always intended to get the replay version Sure Shot as I know for me it has the superior Ruleset of the two. One day it will be mine.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:45° last night here ,pool is closing soon before the ice skates break out.
Glad I'm moving to the Southwest. 
I live for extended Summers!
Ken
Quoted from John_in_NC:I have a Swing-Along I want to move, I bought it, fixed it, gave it a light shop job. Best playfield you have ever seen guaranteed. Backglass near perfect. Plastics perfect, clear and non-yellowed. First pin with spinners! Plays 100%. Redo the cabinet and it will be a museum piece. I'll let it go for $100 under what I have in it. $375. Located in Chapel Hill, NC
Sounds like a sweet deal for someone looking for this title! Looks great and Nice pricing John!
Ken
Quoted from IntoPinball:She's Alive!
Just saw Weird Science the other night on Hulu. Had not seen it is years. Great Flick! 
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Spirit of 76 - $100
Well, that one will be gone within 1 day. Heck, if it were by me I would buy it then I would have 2.
Ken
A Bally Nip-It for $3500.00?
No wonder it looks like the 2 guys on the Backglass are in shock!

Quoted from boilerman:great show
I agree. Interesting that the Futurama show was cancelled after such a short run but the Simpsons are still on.
Ken
Quoted from AlexF:That is an interesting repaint. Ties in nicely with the theme and thoughtfully implemented. It would almost be a shame to remove it...almost.
I would keep the repaint and lose the LEDs. The repaint almost looks like a pattern they would use back in the day and is very tasteful IMO. However if it ever needed another repaint then back to the original pattern it would go.
The best part about the custom stuff on that pin is that changing it back to origianl is no problem.
Ken
Quoted from John_in_NC:What's this restored El Dorado worth?
More than I have to spend right now.
Looks sweet John. Great restoration all around. Now if only all EM's had the parts available that this title has a great many more EM's could be restored and saved from the dumpster monster.....hummm...... 
Glad you got some good bucks for it.
Ken
Way to go o-din On Williams big Daddy. 
There was a real nice one in Utah that I wanted at a nice price as well but i was broke at the time. Looks to be a very fun game and love the artwork as well.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:1961 trade winds pinball - $850 (Grand Rapids)
That one would be a nice title to have as well.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Here is a nice oldie> Chicago Coin's PLAYBOY Pinball Machine - $500
Interesting but I personally don't care for the weird Suicide Flippers. I would much rather have a Slick Chick.
Ken
Quoted from singlebanana:What do you guys think this game is worth?
Without better pictures $500.00 Tops seeing it needs a full Shopout as well.
Ken
Quoted from 1452spunky:Please don't take offence, but this has happened to me before...I REALLY don't care what you got yours for, or what you saw it sell for, its my price and my list....I managed to sell both those in about a week, even after ppl like you bothered to waste their time to tell me how high I was....
Ken
Quoted from Pafasa:Laughed out loud in a crowd of people.
Hey Pafasa, glad you got a good laugh. I wonder if 1452spunky did? Oh well.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Need teeth?
Back in the day cutting in front of another player who had his quarter up first on the machine glass could get your teeth knocked out. These teeth could have come in handy as a replacement for those unfortunate kids
Hopefully we all have grown up since then and control our tempers better. 
Ken
Quoted from o-din:That's what happens to balls if they spend too much time in the cold ocean.
If that's the case o-din then I'm not so worried about the cold ocean part, but just how the heck did my balls just get chromed in the ocean?
Ken
Never mind Brian Johnson. Bon Scott was and is still the best AC/DC singer/writer IMO. RIP Bon, we miss you.
Ken
Quoted from singlebanana:In the Roanoke, VA area:
Nice find on that ad with all the EM's for sale singlebanana!
Lots of good titles too.
Ken
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Would love to go there and see them all
Yep. If I were local I'm sure I would walk away with at least 2 Wedgeheads.
Ken
Quoted from singlebanana:I'm not even sure what to say about this......
I know.........."Run Away!!"
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:hey, i hear you can find a good deal on an em in this thread.
Yea, welcome back Chris!
Ken
Quoted from o-din:Now, what happened to EM pinman?
Hey odin, I'm here. I will be posting more now that I had my PC fixed a few days ago. Borrowing the wife's was a limited experience.
I have been busy looking for another pin and found one, yes you heard right. Not supposed to get another one until we move to our new home in the Southwest but I pleaded pinball insanity with the wife and won my case! Yahoo!
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Look what the cat dragged in
Hey pin-it. Between Chris and I it looks like a few cats...........I have 4.
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:orange cats are always the nicest cats
I have to agree for the most part.
Quoted from o-din:I have been thinking about getting a couple of cats myself. They might chase the squirrels away. But with my luck, they would buddy up with them.
Not likely, our cats eat them.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Four cats and two dogs. One of my cats is orange too.
pin-it has the extended cat family with the two dogs. Generally if they grow up together they become like family to each other.
Ken
Quoted from Pafasa:Well I'm out then.
I know what you mean Pafasa.
I am going to pass on this one so I can find one that needs a real restoration. This one is just too pretty.
Ken
It has one long crack in the Playfield along with a smaller crack next to it, most likely from dropping the Playfield onto the Cabinet when trying to open/close it. I no longer buy pins like this as to me the Playfield requires too much work to repair but would take it for free.
Ken
Quoted from Shapeshifter:These kind of cracks are common - usually it is seam lines as playfields were made so that some games got the seams! Usually only surface - some are more noticeable than others.
Mine had a couple cracks that went top to bottom all the way through which meant it was split. Obviously the buyer needs to check out the Playfield to see if this is the case or it is just a topside only seam.
Ken
Quoted from Pafasa:According to IDPB, there was less than 600 EM and almost 1700 SS of this game.
$195.00? Well, that game should be sold within minutes. You know you want it! Go get it Pafasa!
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Proud Class of Mid eighties
Class of '81 for me.
Quoted from Pin-it:You know your old < i mean young when you had 8 tracks, 33 1/3, 45,and cassettes of your favorite music. Prepared for all types of playback
I never had an 8 Track, just cassettes and albums and yes, I was a hard rocker S.F. CA. WPOD myself. Two favorite groups: AC/DC (Bon Only) and Black Sabbath (Ozzy only).
Ken
So seeing we are cruising down memory lane how many of you guys had Pinball/Video machines in Grammer/High School?
I'll start. High School 1978-1979 (Freshman/Sophomore year) In the Cafeteria
1975 Bally Bow & Arrow
1976 Gottlieb Target Alpha
? Atari Stunt Cycle (stand up)
Junior/Senior all pins/vids were removed.
Ken
Quoted from EM-PINMAN:So seeing we are cruising down memory lane how many of you guys had Pinball/Video machines in Grammer/High School?
Looks like going to a private all boys catholic high school paid off for me in Pinball pleasure, but not female. 
We even had a sandwich shop a couple blocks away with 3 pinball machines, I only remember the Bally Flip Flop but unfortunately that place closed down beginning of Senior year.
Ken
Quoted from Pafasa:Don't see any Sonic games come up around here.
Same with me. That's why I had to buy mine thru Epay.
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:someone beat me to it...
That just means there is a nicer King Of Diamonds waiting for you down the road Chris.
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:yea, i like the artwork a lot better on astro than on 4 square...
I liked my Backglass on 4 Square but the Playfield Artwork was weak and did not really tie in with the Backglass.
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:stardust - $500 - havertown (pa)
a bit worn, but looks like it might be a fun game...
Man I sure would love to have that Stardust Backglass as mine is so shot bgresto.com cannot even do a scan of mine to make new ones.
I hope someone on this forum buys that machine and would be willing to get some high resolution scans and send them off to Bgresto.com so we can get these Backglasses made. 
By the way it is a fun game as the Stepper on the Playfield is not random and you can actually control the Stepper by making the right shots. Closing that Left Gate is key to keeping your Ball alive a bit longer which stays closed for the duration of that Ball.
Nice and loud too as it has a 3" & 5" Bell.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Happy Birthday ! Em-Pinman.
Quoted from ccotenj:yes indeed!
Quoted from AlexF:Happy Birthday Ken!
Thanks Guys, You're the Best!
Just stayed at home today wife the wife as I am recovering from a flu but at least I got to have my cake and eat it too!
Ken
Quoted from IntoPinball:Where's that &%$#@ Pin-It? He's a real $#%&@!!!
I hear you Bro! I wanted to tell him #$%^&*@*&^%$ as well! Whatever that means...........
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Not me^^ I make my own.
Funny how cheap it is for making dough 5 # sack of flour +10 yeast packs will make 20 -16"' pies. Plus you know whats in it!
Sounds good to me Pin-it! If I'm ever in PA I'll invite myself over for fresh pizza and pinball. 
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Beer too.
Can't drink beer anymore, so it will have to be Hard Cider.......Pear sounds good.........Yumm!!
Ken
wyders pear cider.jpgQuoted from way2wyrd:Pinthouse pizza. Won a medal for their beer at GABF. Also they have a T3 and a Donkey Kong
Hey Jeff, As long as they have some Hard Cider too I'm In! Draft or bottle is fine.
Ken

The Williams Pitch & Bat does look nice Chris! Gopher It!!
Ken
Quoted from AlexF:Not bad.
Looks like it may be nice and the original owner since new? I think it would have been taken care of better if that was the case.
Ken
Quoted from Pafasa:In the home of the late "Twin Galaxies" arcade.
I would like a Williams "Action" down the road if I had room but I need a couple more more Gottlieb Wedgeheads first.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Prospector pinball laurel and hardy by sonic
Nice Price. I paid more for mine but no regrets.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Not bad.
Williams Space Mission and Spanish Eyes, both work but need adjusting.$650 for the pair.
Someone should pick those up soon for that price.
Ken
Quoted from way2wyrd:Ok I bought the yukon.$200 Nice shape not too broke. I think ill ask bgresto to do a glass. Nice part is the previous owners treated it nicely.
-Jeff
Way to go Jeff! Nice Price too!

Quoted from Garrett:Anyone know what the "casino" pin really is? I haven't seen that playfield before, looks like a Bally design.
That's a 1972 Chicago Coin "Casino" Garret as I own one myself and should have mine up and running by next week sometime. My Backglass is in great original 9.5 Condition with very minor flaking at the bottom but will be sealed and touched up this Spring.
Ken
Quoted from Garrett:Appears to be a wild table design to play. Look forward to your pics of the game Ken.
Once it's done I'll get some pictures going next week. This was a full blown Shopout but I did not document the restoration as I just wanted to get it done. It's quite the looker now and can't wait to play it! Not sure if I played this one as a kid or not so I am not sure how it plays yet. New Flipper Coils should arrive Friday.
Ken
Quoted from o-din:That's what I like about you Ken. You're willing to take a chance and think outside the cookie cutter box.
Thanks o-din!
Games I never played before I bought them: Klondike, Gulfstream, Bank Shot, Casino, Top Ten, Stardust, Williams King Pin, Sure Shot, 4 Square. Out of all these I am Keeping 4 out of 10.
Most of these I do a complete Shopout to hopefully have someone buy them if I am not pleased with the Playability and hopefully last another 30+ years as a players game. I always buy a game with the intention of keeping it but it doesn't work out that way quite a bit. Good thing I really enjoy working on these things!
You win some, then you lose some.
Ken
Quoted from Svendtube:I am going to take a look at this Trade Winds friday that has been on CL for nearly a year
grandrapids.craigslist.org link I like early 60's Williams and this is one I have had interest in for some time,$850 seems a bit steep but this fairly rare and it seems to be well liked.He says it's in very good condition. Any comments?
Lee
Seems like a very challenging Table although I have not played it. I like the whole idea of sailing to all the different ports and the Artwork as well. If one was local I would be tempted to pick it up.
Ken
Quoted from hoov:Touched up the paint last night - inserts today.
That's exactly what I am doing today on my CC Casino Dave. Pretty excited as it is close to being fired up after a full Shopout. It's like a new toy, never played it but it sure looks fun! Pictures soon.
Ken
Quoted from hoov:Sing Along
stlouis.craigslist.org link
I'm 2nd in line to get this if the guy is a no-show it's mine.
I don't know Dave, for $300.00 and how nice that Sing-A-Long is I think it's pretty much a done deal with the 1st guy in line, hope you get it though.
Ken
Quoted from hoov:Ken,
I don't expect to get it but you would be surprised when it comes to no-shows. You and I would be there in a heartbeat but that doesn't mean everybody that responds to a CL ad acts as we do. The seller took my name so he could call me tomorrow and let me know - nice guy. Someone will get a pretty decent working Sing a Long for a good price..........
Still rooting for ya! Hope it happens as that is the one 2" Flipper game that would be one in my collection to stay.
Ken
Quoted from hoov:On my way to pick it up
Pics to come....
Congrats Dave! The pinball gods are smiling on you today!
Ken
Quoted from hoov:I do have the correct lock-down bar after all pafasa - thanks for the offer
Hey Dave, If you need any parts related to Sing Along there is a guy on Ebay who just parted one out. This link will take you to his list of parts available.

What is this really worth and should it show up in my garage this weekend.
Ive made what i consider to be a reasonable offer and the seller seems willing.austin.craigslist.org link
opinions??
--Jeff
Quoted from alb0711:I'd wait a week or two and then offer the seller $300 or so - if he takes it great and if I didn't get it - it wasn't meant to be.
If you really want it Jeff make an offer right away for the $300-$350 range. The Playfield is hash and would require a complete airbrush paint job. Sounds like it has more problems then just missing screws as well. Cool game once it had a total restore though.
Just my 2 cents
Ken
Quoted from Rat_Tomago:LOL @1500 dollars for a Ding Dong.
Wow they really have gone up in price!

Ken
Quoted from Pafasa:I'd love another Klondike but it doesn't look like this will be the one.
I would ask him for Playfield Pictures and if it looked good you should snag it. Bgresto.com will have Klondike Backglass soon complements of yours truly so don't let a Backglass slow you down.
Ken
Quoted from SchertzPinball:sanantonio.craigslist.org link
If anyone wants this, I can pick it up and bring to TPF in March.
Jason
Good to see EM's in the wild in San Antonio Jason seeing I'm moving there this year.
Ken
Quoted from SchertzPinball:I don't need any competition on buying games
Are you bringing your games with you?
YES, All the ones listed in my collection except for the 2nd Klondike and maybe CC Top Ten if restored before we leave.
What part of SA are you moving too? Jason
Not sure yet, any suggestions about a good area we should look into? We will probably fly down in a few months to check out property with a Real Estate agent so we are open to suggestions.

Quoted from SchertzPinball:no photos on this one -
SPACE ODYSSEY EM PINBALL - $400 (South Austin)
austin.craigslist.org link
I have a 1976 Williams Space Odyssey EM that I've been holding onto. It needs work. I bought this machine with a few others a few months back; the other two booted up fine after the batteries were replaced and some pins were reset on the boards. I suspect this one has similar problems; honestly, I just don't really have time for a project machine right now. GI comes on when plugged in/turned on and the backglass/playfield are in pretty stellar condition. I will post pictures later/send upon request. Someone was originally lined up to purchase this, but the deal fell through.
Here is the IPDB link to the machine, in case you aren't familiar: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2254
The sooner you can pick it up and if you can pay in cash, the more flexible I can be on the price. Make me an offer.
Texting is best, but you can also email me.The backglass is kind of crappy on this one.
CPR is out of stock on the Backglass, but bgresto.com has them.

Quoted from ccotenj:1951 star shuffle alley - $600 - winchester (va)
if i only had the room... i would love one of these...
It would be cool to have a Ball Bowler. To me Shuffle Bowlers get boring quickly. I'll just have to see how big my arcade will be in the new house.
Ken
I logged a lot of time on FLASH when it was brand new on route in 1979 in a cafe that only had this one pin. I remember one day I had a game I thought would never end and was kicking some serious butt.
The dynamic Background Sound as they call it was so high pitched towards the end of the game I was sweating bullets and thinking the machine was going to launch into outer space! You have to remember that there was nothing else like it at this time so this is why this machine became so popular.
It will be fun to play yours Jeff once I get down to Texas for old times sake.
Ken
Quoted from AlexF:Someone say Schwinn?
This was mine. 1996 model with 1997 Fenders which I bought brand new. About $1000.00 into it. Sold it last year. Some Black Phantom parts on it as well. 7 speed Internal hub with grip shift and front disc brake.
Ken
Quoted from Pin-it:Mine came from across the pond.
Same color scheme. Still rideable with Oem tires and tubes.
I gotta snap a photo of it when i pull the vehicle outta the garage (its stored above it).
My friend had the orange Raleigh Chopper 3 speed model as a kid. I used to love riding it all the time. I was going to get a 5 speed Schwinn Apple Crate but ended up with a 10 Speed Schwinn instead by default.
Ken
Long story short. Went to the bike shop to get an Apple Crate but they did not have them in stock. Salesman was pushing to sell an in stock item and my moms boyfriend was the one that was to purchase the bike. Mom told me that I better get something now or it may not happen at all. Of coarse being an 8 year old kid(1970) I was not savvy with the whole pay for it now, and pick up the Apple Crate at a later date and was being pressured by both a salesman and my mom. Not saying I did not have a lot of fun times with my Schwinn Varsity Sunset Orange 10 Speed, but it was no Apple Crate.
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:"all bikes never ridden"... that's interesting... little did i know that people were saving up nib crates...
Those are the remakes. Notice no Stick shifts as they are single speed. Really killed the whole appeal of owning one of these remakes because Schwinn was afraid of being sued because of past cases where kids cracked their nuts on them. No wonder they went out of business, listening to the cries of idiots.
Ken
Quoted from o-din:I found your Apple Krate EM-PINMAN $122.50 with no reserve.
ebay.com link » 1969 Schwinn Apple Krate
Looks more like a rotten Apple.
If Schwinn had made an adult sized reproduction of the Krates with a 5 Speed Shifter I bet they would have had a ton of sales and may have stayed in business as I know I would have bought one, or two different ones.
Ken
Quoted from ccotenj:thanks guys... hopefully it will work out... was going to be down the shore tomorrow anyway, so the karma is good...

Quoted from CactusJack:Sad to say but many of these machines might be worth more for just the backglass then the entire game due to need and shipping costs.
Whats really sad is folks continue to part out games just because the Backglass is valuable, lack of a Backglass, or someone parting out a good looking/working machine for no other reason except to make more money parting it out than selling it whole. I personally get very tired and angry reading posts/ads such as those.
Bottom line is there is no reason to part out a machine anymore just because of a Backglass when a new one can be made by bgresto.com. All that has to be done is to get a High Resolution Scan which can be done by yourself or send them the Backglass and have them do it. If you don't have the Backglass because it is missing or broken is no longer an excuse either because there are plenty of folks who own titles that you need and you can simply pay the cost for them to get a Scan for you and at the same time make a friend and save more machines from the parts bins.
Use this thread to help coordinate these efforts with another Pinsider.

Actually they just produce a new Backglass and the core is just so they can justify what they do as a "replacement" glass. They just destroy the cores when they get them as they are generally trashed.

Ken
Quoted from o-din:Doodle Bug was the inspiration for a recent modification I made on my Klondike. It was getting too easy to win free balls and keep the ball in play. So at the suggestion of a friend, I removed the two posts between the slingshots and the flipppers-ala Doodle Bug, and set it on three ball play. It is now a whole new game.
Funny o-din how your Klondike is way easier than mine. The Klondike I sold was much easier to play than the one I kept. I know now that what they is true " Every machine will play differently even if it is set up the same". If I took out my posts by the Flippers then a ball might last 30 seconds. As my game stands now it is tough and I am really trying to understand how play it better, and use better Flipper control. The Outlanes are brutal as it is, no way am I removing my Flipper posts! 
The Slings are super fast along with the Flippers on mine, so the lower half plays likes it's DC power, super fast. The upper half slows things down even though all the Pop Bumpers are fully rebuilt and their speed is more of the 1960's machines, it's like 2 separate machines between the upper and lower half, but very fun all and all.
