Did you pickup the RBION?

Yes I did, it was in good shape (minus the rediculus LED's) and close by.

I'm looking to find a new home for my GotG - was hoping for a Ghostbusters, but I'm going to see if there is a place to play X-Men locally to see how I like it.

Bump to see if anyone semi-local is interested in working out a trade? Below is what I'm looking for and what I have available for trade, +/- cash as needed.

Are you still interested in Embryon? I have a few games I'd be willing to put on the trading block:
Embryon
Centaur 2
Meteor
Ghostbusters Pro
Tales from the Crypt
Cactus Jacks

Hi all,

I'm in Madison, Wi and I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a pinball service person nearby that can help fix up some random issues with a TAF pin (I'd pay of course). I'm thinking of maybe selling it in the near future but I want to get it in tip top shape before I do. I'd try doing it myself, but if I do sell it I don't want to inflict my poor handiwork on any future buyer. I think it's pretty simple stuff -- the thing flipper optic is not picking up the ball, a graveyard pop is not working, and there are a few bulbs burnt out (this I could probably do . . . ).

Anyway, if someone knows somebody I'd appreciate it.

Hey guys - I need some board work done on the Williams System 11A board in my F-14 Tomcat. My upper diverter solenoid is locked on, and while I have some idea of how to troubleshoot, I don't have the soldering skills to fix it. Anyone interested in doing some work? Here is a link to the thread detailing my issue:

Hey,

Potentially looking for 1-2 Stern pros or a MMR in the Twin Cities area. Send me a PM if you have any for sale. For the Stern pros most interested in MET, GOT, Mustang, POTC, AC/DC, and others.

Thanks,

** Pin Hauling Prospects: MGC Back to Minneapolis: Anyone? **

Can I hire anyone to haul a boxed pin from the show next month in Milwaukee back to Minneapolis?

If you have the means to do this and can take on another job, or if you know of another hauler who might have space/interest, I'd love to hear from you/him/her/they. I could pay you a fair sum, naturally. Maybe you could shoot me a number in your reply. I would have you drop it at my garage in South Minneapolis in return for cash. If you are a veteran Pinsider with a solid reputation as a standup dude, I will happily pay you in advance via PayPal.

Thanks.

Quoted from FatPanda:

Yeah, priced right for an easy and quick sale. Went to the first person and 3 others waiting behind that one. Fireball is not a common one, esp with a nice BG and a pf that will clean up pretty easily. This one is going to someone I assume will restore it which is even better!

#10974 6 years ago

Hello everyone! I’m back from a 3 and a half year hiatus. Lot of exciting things changed in my life and figured I should crawl back into pinball. Look forward to meeting some new people this year and seeing some collections.

With that being said, I’m on the lookout for some new pins. The one with a soft spot in my heart would be The Addams Family. If anyone has any leads on one, let me know. I don’t care if it needs work as long as I can play it and enjoy it for the most part. Others would be Twilight Zone, Funhouse, Roadshow, High Speed 1 or 2, or Family Guy. I’ve been following the marketplace ads for a couple days but I know people won’t always list there.

Again, look forward to meeting some new people this year!

There's one listed on the Facebook marketplace in the Twin Cities. She has it for $8000, but told me the lowest she'd take is $5000.

She'd take 5, but has it listed for 8k? Quite the drop off. Fair price though for sure at 5k.

I’m currently in discussions with her on it.

Price is firm is new as of that price drop I think though?

Quoted from Minneapolispin:She just dropped the price to $6500, but she’ll take $5000 if you offer it.

Just informed me that they’re not terribly motivated to sell and that bottom dollar is 6500. Guess I’ll try my luck and see

#10988 6 years ago
Quoted from gamefreakfrank:

When I inquired a couple weeks ago, her quote was "$5000 is the lowest I would go on it". Good luck and I hope you can get it.

#10989 6 years ago
Quoted from Minneapolispin:

Yeah, she is set at 6500, there was zero mention of 5k. I think there is too much interest now. PF has some issues....

Quoted from northvibe:

I figured someone tipped her off to what she had. I’m not for taking advantage of people like that though. Was planning on doing a playfield swap anyways so that’s why I’m ok with a beat up machine. Guess I’ll pass on that one.

I’m sure there’s a thread somewhere on this but how many of you are attending MGC next weekend? I’ve never been to it and am looking at going on Saturday. I’d like to carpool if possible and would chip in for gas.

Has anyone in the MSP area ever tried to find a local glass vendor that has a REASONABLY PRICED no-glare pin glass? The products offered by PDI, JJP, and Stern look wonderful, but I am not willing to pay around $300 for a small sheet of glass. Anyone found a good substitute?

I don't think you'll find reasonable for luxury products like that.

Due a cancellation, I have 1 extra MGC weekend admission, 1 extra VIG Friday night ticket, and 1 extra Tom Taylor open house (Friday afternoon) admission. PM me if you need these. Will keep as a set for now, but might split up if not sold by Friday. (also posted in MGC thread)
