This was at Mortimer's. Beautiful condition, D&G went through it and got the bug fixes out of the way and added some stuff to it like extra spotlights and cliffys. Has a shaker motor in it as well. This is not a typical routed game by any means.

#8257 8 years ago

To kickoff the East Side Survivors Tournament tomorrow, all Pinball machines are .50 now until Sunday!

Great time to come up and practice for the tournament tomorrow and the State Championships next weekend!

*Requires PayRange

Curious why selling this so quickly?

Quoted from Whysnow:

Honestly...because it's a son of a bitch to keep clean. That's all.

I planned to sell one after the launch party.

The Pro with Scott's translite and a few tweaks is a great machine (although very different from the LE).

unfortunately unlikely we could find one for the same price and in a good condition

Glad to hear people liked it!

#8263 8 years ago
Quoted from northvibe:

ah sweet. Do you remember the price, about?

I want to say it was like $600 or so give or take but I don't remember which way.

Any up there have a virtual pinball machine for sale or know of anyone? My tax refund is better than expected. As I live in the middle of nowhere and get tired of my machines too quickly, I am thinking a virtual pin is my best option.

#8266 8 years ago

/logs on after almost a year.... posts a FS ad

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-fish-tales-williams-1992-mn-twin-cities

Selling my final game. It's a bittersweet day. I'd trade down for a sys11 and cash. I just don't put the time in on this game that it deserves. I'll build the collection again some day, but right now the kids are taking priority and I'm willingly giving them my pin money.

I'd prefer to deal with someone local-ish that I've dealt with before. Feel free to call or text with questions.

Thanks!

Why not buy new, direct from the source? I'm digging the Mini-Vpin that PinballBulbs is selling.

Have you played one? Is there one local to check out? Looks interesting.

#8271 8 years ago
Quoted from foxtj24:

A friend of mine has one. I have never played a virtual pin other than this one, but this one seems pretty solid. Pinball Arcade, Pinball FX, and Virtualpin tables are all very responsive. The nudge sensor works well. The launcher provided works great. The joystick also is nice since it allows the machine to double as a MAME machine. The joystick is also positioned so that you will not notice it when playing pinball. PinballBulbs has also been very responsive and provides great support. My only issue is that it is hard to see the screen when standing to the left side of the machine, but that is more of an issue with the screen used for the playfield and may very well be an issue with any virtual pin. The screen looks perfectly fine while playing and when standing to the right side. Other than that, it is a nice mini virtual pin.

Just an FYI, play a vpin cab before buying.... YOu'll want to know how it plays on the most stressful graphic tables available to see if it will handle any new stern's or ones like MM modded up with lights etc. Most vpin companies skimp out on pc/graphic cards so it plays non optimized....

We can have a machine to you quickly. We will also be at MGC with machines to sell.

Yeah that one does look nice but it is a bit out of my price range unfortunately.

#8278 8 years ago

I listed My GOT on CL.
I will take $100 off if you do not want the framed translite. Feel free to make an offer via pm or email.

Looking for a Pop-a Card in decent shape - doesn't have to be perfect/CQ. Project better but will consider shopped. Will drive to Wisconsin for one. Send me a pm if you have one to sell/trade.

#8280 8 years ago

I listed a hardbody fs in the market

#8281 8 years ago

Hey guys. I have a WPT that I'm looking to trade or sell. I got it from Pinball Warehouse. I'll need to see it shortly and take pics, but it is/was in good shape.

nope, no time to manage the thread.

It revolves each year to somebody new. I say one of you make a go for it.

#8285 8 years ago

Well I am unable to attend this year but may have a few of my friends looking for a game for me (or I'll be there just on Sunday but highly doubtful). March is pretty busy for me unfortunately.

I was caught on camera twice. I didn't even realize I was being filmed. About time we're recognized for our athleticism in the sport of pinball.
