We closed our arcade back in March and stayed closed after many others opened. We did recently open (4 weeks or so) with strictly enforced rules regarding masks over nose and mouth, sanitizing machines and limiting people that aren't playing being spectators. We don't allow food and drink because this ensures people aren't pulling down their masks to consume. You are welcome to go to the spacious parking area for that. We have a limit of people allowed in the arcade in the greatest attempt to keep everyone safe. This is pinball only. When Deeproot approached us it was with all the public safety in mind. We could have easily kept it private. We will do our best to keep it safe, If numbers were 1 of 6 in San Antonio we would have closed long ago. We are paying close attention to the situation. Thank you for your time. Mike @Whats Flipping (Brewing). Now swing away.

Had a blast! Played it for an hour this morning! Modes/rewards are cool and selectable from the pin bar after you qualify with enough tickets. Coaster ramp feels great, Zombie target is difficult but rewarding. Ball save chances are on the pin bar. Hopefully, I can play it some more later. Don't knock it until you try it!

Quoted from pinballlife:

That was me buying my stuff back for about $0.40 on the dollar.

It was great meeting you down there, you guys did great! I did pretty good with 50 or so "Deeproot" purple shooter assemblies, tons of flippers, tilt assemblies, 100s of coin door asemblies among others.

Quoted from pinballlife:

I wasn't there. My son Levi and PBL's purchaser Justin were there.
I would have loved to be there, but I couldn't justify the cost and time.

Yes. I talked to Levi and Justin. You guys did well!

Quoted from pinballlife:

Deeproot made two major purchases of parts from PBL. The first purchase was only about half as big as the second.
The first purchase was all taken out of the boxes by Deeproot and wiring harnesses were attached. I was not as interested in these, or should I say I placed less value on these, because these harnesses will all have to be removed to make them resellable. We did get a good portion of these back, but not all of them.
The second, larger purchase order of parts was almost entirely still in the boxes we shipped them in. We were able to buy back almost all of these in the auction.
Because of the somewhat randomness of the different lot configurations, we also ended up getting a bunch of stuff that we did not sell to Deeproot. I really haven't went through much of it yet since my guys only got back from Texas Friday afternoon. At a quick glance I did see hundreds of motor and gearboxes and hundreds of tubes of epoxy. These two items are already on our website -

https://www.pinballlife.com/loctite-eal-e-05mr-clear-5-minute-epoxy-adhesive.html
Are they worth anything to the pinball public? Well, I guess we will find out.
There seemed to be shockingly little in the way of game-specific mechs and toys, or at least not in any of the lots we won. There were a few however, but I haven't had time to take a good look at them or decide what I am going to do with them.
There we also quite a few boxes of game-specific metal brackets. We ended up giving these boxes to a scrapper that was hanging around the place.

Same here. I did get some black flippers, white flippers, tilt bob assys, coin door parts ,shooter rods, gear motors with different rpms in the lot next to yours (354) and an office lot. A lot of hardware, gas pistons, game specific brackets I only kept a handful of and sent the rest to scrap. I also got a couple of full sets of RAZA plastics.
