matey!
Quoted from wayner:This one?
She would definitely fit in with the theme. Welcome aboard!
Ahhhh is right! It is showing up in parts. The backglass is coming from Canada and the machine is coming from Arizona.
I love it when a plan comes together!
Quoted from o-din:I love it when a plan comes together!
You mean Pinball comes together.
Quoted from Pin-it:You mean Pinball comes together.
Yeah man! A pinball machine where the goal is to sail to Tahiti. I've never even played one, but how can you go wrong with that? It was meant to be. A machine that needs a backglass, and a backglass that needs a machine. I feel just like cupid.
Quoted from o-din:I've never even played one, but how can you go wrong with that?
Can never go wrong,sure looks like lots of nudging is in your future.
Quoted from o-din:It was meant to be.
Cant argue with that. Even has the metal flippers too.
Quoted from Pin-it:Can never go wrong,sure looks like lots of nudging is in your future.
Nudging is good! I have not seen the machine or the backglass. I am going by description only. But I have faith!
The gentleman that is bringing the machine also brought me the Rocket. He comes to town every couple months for the local auction. He got to play his old Rocket today, and it made me very happy! (he was happy too)
Because it now works! I have to wait until next auction for Trade Winds though.

I am sure it will be fine.

Dont let the cat outta the bag,if he knows you can fix Em`s the prices may go up.

I didn't know I could fix them.
I was thinking it was going to be Flag-Ship-the backglass has some nice ships bells; err I mean belles!!
Flag-Ship huh? Funny as that's one of the backglasses I've been painting in Photoshop recently.
Here it is if you guys wanna have a look, but it's not finished yet. I work on it every now and then...
The lower photo is the original, which was in sad shape. I think I got the original photo from e-bay?
Or maybe from one of the forum members here? I can't remember now. Cheers, Mal

At this point I'll take what I can get! Trade Winds has a couple of mates as well. Actually one, but she is purty enough for me. Look at those slings.
Advancing through the different ports looks fun and challenging. Let us know how you like the gameplay when it is up and running.
Quoted from AlexF:Looks brutal. Just how you like them. I bet it will give Big Daddy a run for the money.
I'll probably put this one on three ball play as well.
Credit goes to Chaz on that. He's the one who rallied to have it reproduced. Fortunately he had a spare.

No doubt! Chaz is the man! But without you, I wouldn't have known about it. Thanks to both of you, and I will thank the postal company when it arrives unscathed.

Who repro'd "Trade Winds" bg? I got one recently from Shay. I thought it was his last one. It's not listed on his website either. I asked him if he knew where I could get one, and he told me he had one left.
Shay did, Chaz was the guy that started the petition to get it done. He had a spare one for sale. Now it sounds like there are none anywhere and I haven't found my Trade Winds yet? Ah well, so it goes.

I wonder why it wasn't on Shay's website. How long ago did he do it? Now I'm really glad I was able to get one!
BTW- who is Chaz?

I don't think Shay lists a lot of the smaller runs that get done. Not to mention the website isn't the most up to date from what I understand.

Wow that looks just a terrific pf o-din with a great set of rules. I must try and play a Trade Winds some time but not sighted one over here.

Not many sighted over here either. When I first saw one on craigslist many moons ago I thought the backglass art was a little plain and it didn't really grab my attention, but upon further revue after looking at the layout, I knew I wanted one. I bet that backglass will actually look great once it is all lit up.
i have a chicago coin pony express and i have a a lot of it going but there is a circuit board with rivits on it that tells where the rifle is shooting how do i line it up where it`s hitting the right tirget.
Quoted from o-din:I thought the backglass art was a little plain and it didn't really grab my attention...
Yup. Just one guy, alone on a sailboat, perhaps pondering why he is alone, and in fact giving a graphic indication with his fingers of just why that might be!
Quoted from MikeO:If I didn't already own a Majorettes I'd be looking hard at this one.
ebay.com link
The seller did well on this. Had it originally listed with a $1K buy it now and ended up over $1600.

There was a Majorettes on Mr. Pinball Classifieds recently too.......
Quoted from hoov:There was a Majorettes on Mr. Pinball Classifieds recently too.......
Yeah, that's Clay's game. A different one and priced fairly.
Quoted from Heretic_9:I bought a nice Gottlieb coin box from her for considerably less than that . . . but it was early 70's vintage, not 1950s. Most of her auctions are quite reasonable. It's just the occasional one like that restored Gypsy Queen at $6500 that really grabs your attention.
$6500?? Wow. I have a Gypsy Queen and love it. It's a great piece of history, but $6500, that's sky high... Did she sell it for that?
Quoted from dphelps:$6500?? Wow. I have a Gypsy Queen and love it. It's a great piece of history, but $6500, that's sky high... Did she sell it for that?
I think it was actually $7200 as the final ebay auction price. Can't really explain it though; very much an anomaly for that title.

Isn't the theory that some people help pay for her college fees by spending big on the auctions? Kind of like a charity auction?
No shipping North Star so one for the locals

Quoted from o-din:I'll probably put this one on three ball play as well.
Congrats on Trade Winds! Still my favorite, despite its growing competition in my collection. 3 ball makes this a different game entirely, its difficult to achieve things as it is on 5 ball. I fooled around with it for a bit on 3 ball when I first got it, as the previous owner had a score sheet with his families top scores on both 3 and 5 ball play that he left inside the game. That led me to believe there was something in the 3 ball setup that added to the challenge. It however remains on 5 ball here. Let me know your opinion when you get it together, Id be curious to know your feelings.
Quoted from PhilC:Congrats on Trade Winds! Still my favorite, despite its growing competition in my collection.
Thanks Phil. Your comments and pics about this game in the show us thread are part of what convinced me to seek one out. And with a collection like yours, I'm guessing it is a pretty good player.
