Quoted from too-many-pins:

I'll likely have about two dozen project machines at the indoor flea market if all goes as planned. I will not have a list or anything until about a week before the show. I expect most of them to be EM's but I might have some earlier SS stuff also depending on space and what I can dig out before the show.

You always have great deals at the show . Thanks for bringing everything

#283 8 years ago

Looking to bye some wpc lock down bars or bar

#317 8 years ago

I called around tonight and most were booked up for the good rate , but got lucky on the confort suites as the girl said something just opened up and it was my lucky day lol so I booked the king suite for 109.00 . Its crazy that most are booked this far in advance considering I usually dont make reservations till April and never had a issue then. Seems the show is growing and will have a huge turnout this year . I know alot of people going for the first time .

Quoted from jibmums:

This is the first time I'll be staying the night, can you guys tell me.....
....which is the least gross of the fours motels listed on the Pinfest site: Comfort, H.I. Express, Windham, or Ramada?
....say you buy a pin on Friday, are you allowed to leave it there Friday night and break it down and pickup pre-show Saturday morning? Or does it have to leave the premises Friday night post-show? I'd rather pick it up the next morning than have it sitting in my car overnight.
Also, wanted:
- Xenon, working; must have perfect BG's and good cab.
- Empty Earthshaker backbox; no boards, backglass, wiring, just need an empty backbox in really nice condition.
- Same but Sorcerer backbox
- Original Space Invaders 'clone chamber' plastic

The hotels are nice and not gross imo....ive stayed in comfort and holiday inn express

Quoted from HemiOrange09:

I'll be attending Allentown this year... I'll have a booth near Joe at PinGraffix and Cointakers. I'll be offering a show discount and even the same for pre-orders discount to save on shipping cost... I'll delivery your Pinball Refinery mods to the show. More info to come soon.
I'll have a few Refinery Editions pinballs here as well.
I look forward to attending Allentown for my first time,
Steve
Pinball Refinery

Awesome...... cant wait to meet the guy that makes alot of my awesome mods

#698 8 years ago

I have a metallica pro for sale for 4500. Its a original run with wooden backbox. This met is huo and has under 100 plays since last update 8 months ago and had around 400 plays before update. Game has a stern shaker, flipper fidelity speakers with sub,mirror blades, all leds, speaker grill decal and cliffys. Pictures will be on the way but the pin is in perfect condition as you would expect from a huo low play pin. Also i could bring to Allentown if paid beforehand

#705 8 years ago
Quoted from ryandimx:

Looking for new or replacement glass for ny Starship Troopers. If used I'd prefer no bad scratches.

I will have around 10 sheets of brand new stern glass that was pulled to upgrade to pdi.
i can bring to Allentown if anyone wants some . How's 40.00 a sheet sound? 2 for 75.00

#710 8 years ago
Quoted from djreddog:

I need 2 new sheets of glass for my Riverboat Gambler and Grand Lizard, will these sheets fit? If so count me in for 2!

Is gl a standard body pin? System 11 right?

#711 8 years ago

Ok anyone who is interested in some glass please pm me info so I can get a accurate count . Also I will need payment before I bring it to the show. I have 10 sheets of new glass out of new stern pins because it was upgraded to pdi . 40.00 a sheet or 75.00 for two. I can except a check or paypal gift/friends and family. I will be at Allentown early fri threw closing Saturday. Thanks

#720 8 years ago

Ok ive never been able to get any at a show for 25.00 bc it seems to be gone before I find it lol. But if thats the case then never mind my price to those that were interested . If anyone wants any ill sell it for 25.00 if you come and get it ,but it will be to much of a hassle to bring it for 25.00 due to my vehicle set up lol. Id rather bring a pin to sell or for free play at the show . I was just pricing around what it usually cost me locally plus wrapping and of course taking a chance bringing 10 sheets on the 2.5 hour drive . Was just trying to help out since I have it but no big deal believe me ....

#738 8 years ago
Quoted from 1974DeltaQueen:

Glass is always against the wall same side as main entrance for patrons, next to the pinball lifter guys and right before the snack bar with the pizza from hell

So your the one that got that one the other day lol.....?. Good pickup

#1314 7 years ago
Quoted from PoMC:

Pulled my The Shadow into the workshop and figured I'd post it for sale as-is if there's any interest before tearing it down. I still need to finish a few things on No Fear, so Shadow will be available the next two days, then I'll begin the tear down if there's no interest.

I've already done the bottom playfield shop job - all inserts cleaned, LEDs, every drop target mech removed, cleaned and coil sleeves replaced and Battlefield entrance target coil replaced and a new Wall drop target installed. Most of the GI is LED since I was able to replace the bulbs from underneath. Top of the playfield I've cleaned what I could reached, there's some Titan color rubber here and there.
Has the "lost plastic" cityscape in the back of the playfield, which looks super. Standup targets all have decals. New phurbas on the diverters and the diverters work fine. Game plays and works 100%
Has a ColorDMD and the Aurich translite and speaker plastic too.
What I need to do...actually what you'll need to do:
Replace GI connector to fix the upper backglass lights that are out. You can see in the pics I just used some LED strips plugged into a lower socket to properly light the backglass for now.
Tear down shop job for a proper cleaning and repairing the sanctum wear. Right now, just so I could keep playing the game, there's a sanctum decal adhered to a piece of plastic and that is covering the sanctum wear. Magnet works fine thru the plastic and decal, so that's how I left it until I had a chance to tear it down.
One of the rings needs the bulb and harness attached and I have the bulb and harness.
$3200
Too much? Then it's $2800 without the ColorDMD, but you need to provide your own DMD since I don't have a spare.
Still too much? Knock $100 off and I'll keep the Aurich translite and speaker plastic and I'll put the originals back on.
I have gold mirror blades - still in the box - that I was planning to install when finished. Cost me $200, will sell for $150 if you want them. I was also planning to brass plate the wireforms because with the gold blades and the game fully shopped, WOW!
Prices are firm because I have no problem doing the work myself and then selling it. Was looking forward to seeing it finished with all the gold anyway. But with Allentown coming up, I also don't mind selling it and moving on to another project.

How much is it gonna be when your done with it ?

#1324 7 years ago
Quoted from AttilaK:

Selling PINBALL ROTISSERIES and planning on bringing the last 5 sets that I have available. I probably won't be making these anymore as I only made a few when I needed to restore a few pins. Guys loved the design and how easily they can be stored when not in use... minutes to assemble.
The cost is $300 for a set.
I will not have a booth this year so just PM me if interested and will bring to the show. Right now I am planning on going on Friday, but Saturday is a possibility.

Quoted from tomh52722:

I know I'm going to sound lazy here, but I bought carbon fiber cliffy protectors for my wcs about a month ago and haven't had the time to install them. If I bring it to Allentown on Friday, is there anyone there that would be interested in installing them?

Im sure I lcld help and I know many others that wld also

#1626 7 years ago
Quoted from djreddog:

All, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read that the Marco balls do not work with magnet games.

Nope they work fine

#1635 7 years ago

Just listed some polk subs and mirror blades in the Allentown parts thread. I also have other stuff listed a few posts above that one in that thread . Thanks

#1647 7 years ago

Cash always gets you better deals with everyone/vendors at the show in my experience. Some do except other methods but better show specials with cash transaction from my experience.

#1648 7 years ago
Quoted from djreddog:

Sorry guys, I'm a little confused. I thought Silverjets were sold by Marcos? See this link:
http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/PB116-SJ
Lastly, my research on Pinside mentioned this:
"Tested were the Pinbits Premium Chromium carbon steel balls (hardened), Marco Silverjet Premium carbon steel balls (hardened), and Pinball Life Premium Ultra-Gloss (carbon core). Note that of the three, only the Pinball Life Premium balls are listed as suitable for magnetic games such as TOM, TOTAN, TZ, etc."

Heres the regular standard ones. Order 5+ they are 1.00 a pop

#1690 7 years ago
Quoted from sohchx:

So I see that it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow. I've got a pickup to haul pins so I have no idea how I'm supposed to pull this off. Anyone else in the same dilemma?

Lots of heavy rain likely so id rent a van if u can

#1841 7 years ago

By the way the bride 2.0 was not cointakers it was dons ( burningmans) and it was a absolutely beautiful restored pin . Matter fact it won best dmd pin . Absolutely beautiful job ... i want it

#1846 7 years ago

Put some games on many pins and gb is awesome and so is sm ve big disappointment with rob zombie as the art looks good from distance but up close is not the best and the game play left alot to be desired as it just didn't feel good . Many people I talked to that are in on it said the same and mentioned they will just sell once they receive theirs. Overall great show and cant wait till tomorrow
