Quoted from ThatOneDude:I might bring a few cocktail pin projects.

Quoted from jbovenzi:I'm going to bring some EM late model Gottlieb doors for sale. I hope that you can find what you need.
Please do! I need a coin door for my 75 Top Score. I'm looking for a set of legs for the same.
Quoted from Spyder138:Did you buy the Top Score that was for sale on Facebook in Modesto last weekend?
I communicated with the guy that I would pick it up on Saturday and he told me he wouldn't be available until Sunday after 11:30. He sent me the address at about 11:15, I messaged him I was leaving and would be there in 90 minutes, drove 100 miles and arrived 90 minutes later to be told he had sold it while I was on my way. Didn't even have the balls to open the door when I rang the bell. Just sent a text after I stood ringing his doorbell for 10 minutes.
I certainly have no beef with you if you were the buyer, it could have easily been your experience if I had been the first one there, but sellers like that are a hard pill to swallow. 3.5 hours of my time and $40 worth of gas wasted. Rant over. Thanks for for the therapy session.
Yep. It was the one in Modesto. Your experience doesn't surprise me. The dude was a tool and a half. I didn't even try to negotiate. I paid his asking price and he acted totally put out that he had to help me move it 10 feet out of his garage. My wife helped me wrestle it into the car from there.
I contacted him Saturday night and he told me to contact him after 11:00. I asked how about 11:05. I told him I didn't want to miss out. He said 11:15-11:30 so I messaged him at 11:12. He knew I was serious and knew I was 2.2 miles from him. He was paid by 11:20. I'm glad I got it but I hate seeing people get burned. Guess I should buy you a beer tomorrow!
