Quoted from lordloss:Too bad you can't put that original sign back up, vintage is in.
The wood one is long gone. Sparrows and squirrels tore it up bad. Fell off the building at one point. The plywood letters were severely weather beaten, paint was the only thing holding some of them together.
The new will be channel letters, for every business there. So the hodge podge of mixed signs there now will look better.
LTG : )
Quoted from MNPinner:I think Kingpin has a Metallica he is looking to sell
true, but mine is an LE and he is looking for a pro.
Quoted from Goalie:I'm looking for a Color DMD if anyone is looking to sell one.
They are in stock on the website last time I checked, but that may have changed.
Or are you looking for a deal on a used one? these rarely leave the games from what I've seen. Are you wanting LED or LCD?
I've got a Gottlieb Abra Ca Dabra I'd like to try and trade for a solid state but would be willing to sell outright.

Check out the other vids and let me know what you think.

Quoted from FatPanda:Body paint and alcohol? That could be trouble.

Quoted from Whysnow:or it could be AMAZINg!

lol. I believe the art will be on the more attractive models vs the pinball players, but honestly not sure of all the details. Jack is keeping some things under wraps. He did mention something about pinheads voting but then realized it was a foredrawn conclusion that slave leia wins... lol
Picked up a VERY nice Jack Bot on Sunday from Todd (pinball4ever), stand up Pinsider and his collection is just WOW!!! Clean....clean....clean, transfer the dirt from the game to me then wash me off. I saw that new plastics and mini pf are being made so I'm getting them for sure.

Quoted from Whysnow:congrats! Todd is a great guy! Where did you see the Jbot advertised? I missed that one completely.
Thanks, he sure is. He had it folded up with about 4 games ahead of it for a clean up, he saw I was looking for one and said I could buy it unshoped so I bought it that way. It's gonna be a real looker when I'm done with it. And what kills me is the apron is PERFECT.

Congrats Paul! It's going to look great in the line up
Sounds like I need to get Todd my current ISO list 
Todd, if you are reading this... I am always looking! Hit me up when you get in any oddballs, rares, or classics.
Quoted from sparechange1974:Congrats Paul! It's going to look great in the line up
Thanks, it sure will be.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Thanks, it sure will be.
it s an AWESOME game!
By far the best Bot and also a great competitive game (strategy and risk v reward)
Quoted from northvibe:Congrats Paul you have room in your game room?!
It will be in the Gameroom II (garage) for the time being, nice big area to work on it.
Quoted from twenty6point2:Anyone within a couple hours of SE MN have an early SS machine they are considering parting with. Fixer upper is all right if the playfield isn't too bad.
Thanks for all the response and PMs. I picked up a fixer-upper Space Station, so for the time being I am no longer looking. On to the daunting task of my first playfield teardown and mylar removal... (I'll be spending a lot of time on vid's thread)
Quoted from MustangPaul:It will be in the Gameroom II (garage) for the time being, nice big area to work on it.
Sounds like you are low on space. You should sell me your Metallica please.
if someone is interested in the thunderbolt. I have to head to Minneapolis today. but you have to let me know soon
Quoted from northvibe:I'm still looking for a Taxi!
Congrats Paul you have room in your game room?!
I'm still considering, well MAYBE parting with my TAXI. IF I did move it, I'd be more up for a trade than selling it outright however. I'll continue to mull it over. . . . .
Does anyone know if the Minnesota State Fair will have pinball machines setup at the arcade building again this year?
Quoted from GoodBadUgly:Does anyone know if the Minnesota State Fair will have pinball machines setup at the arcade building again this year?
Yes. Website isn't updated. But check their Facebook mini pinball on a stick page.
Usually 11 or 12 games along the one wall. Great assortment. Great shape. Stop out and enjoy it.
LTG : )
Quoted from GoodBadUgly:Does anyone know if the Minnesota State Fair will have pinball machines setup at the arcade building again this year?
They will. Most of the games are coming from Sun Ray. I think the plan is to have 9 pins this year. Star Wars, Aerosmith, Game of Thrones, Ghostbusters, Walking Dead, Metallica, South Park will be there plus a couple more I believe.
Quoted from LTG:Tornado warning my area. Eden Prairie about 8:15pm, Hopkins about 8:25
People in the Twin Cities be alert.
LTG : )
Quick use you're new DIE phone to stop this potential disaster! 
But yeah in real life keep safe.

Hope.
I just found out last night there will another place to play pinball at the Minnesota State Fair this year. Blainbrook will have four of their pinball games at the fair, and the machines are WOZ, AC\DC, Ghostbusters, and Kiss. I have no idea of the where the location of the Blainbrook game will be at the State Fair.
Keep in mind that State Fair Information Booth may not know anything about pinball machines or the site of the games. A few years back when they first started having pinball games to the fair, I had asked someone at the Information booth where pinball games are located, and he was telling me that they had no pinball games at the State Fair.
