Official Wisconsin-Minnesota Thread

I'd just like life to slow down enough so that I can do much of anything pinball related. I ended up in the ER with both my son and wife in different trips this weekend, and now I'm sick. My job has been kicking my butt, and I just can't wait for the next few weeks to be over so that I can hopefully find a little downtime again.

I really want to start messing with some of my new toys. SST repair in particular is calling my name... So is Cue Ball Wizard. And Space Shuttle. And Mystery Castle. And about 10 more. Hell, I still have a project I need to pick up sometime!

I have a really nice LW3 playfield sitting around if you are interested. I won't ship it though as it will cost $40 just to ship it.

If you guys work a deal I can throw it in my car when I head that way the second week of June.

I got 4 hours on it at the Pinball BBQ. Ok I played it 4 times and scorekeeper the other 3 hours 48 min. on it. Cool game but I would like to get more time on AC/DC. Only played it twice at the "After Party" of the BBQ and those games were short!

So ACDC might be a better game ?

I haven't had a lot of time on either game but I was at Blainbrook Bowl today and played a couple of games on both ACDC and Metallica. A couple hours later.......yes we were there for over 3 hours. I choose to play some more ACDC than Metallica. I hadn't played either game before today. I also decided an ACDC, SM, and IJ would be a nice addition to my collection and I would enjoy all 3 but I doubt it's going to happen anytime soon. Also every town could use a place like Blainbrook Bowl so I would not have to drive so far

Hello my Northern Friends.

Looks like I will be out in New Richmond, WI from June 8th - 19th helping my cousin put a new roof on his house.

Eric, Tony, Josh. Let's plan a meet up or get together. Yes I'm inviting myself over.

Also I'm looking for a new addition to the family while I'm up that way. If someone has something they are looking to unload let me know. Here is what is on my short list.

Atlantis, Scared Stiff, Theatre of Magic, Dirty Harry, Jurassic Park, Road Show, Dr. Dude, Cyclone, Earthshaker.

I have a slugfest to sell or trade as well.

You kidding ? ( I didn't see a smiley )

Mike Nogle has been dealing in pins, new, used, RARE, SUPER Rare, and blinged out, for years.

Great person, excellent to deal with.

GAP ( Great American Pinball ) goes back about 5 years, but Mike has been active way longer than that.

Sorry for forgetting the sarcasm font. I found it comical that even the WI/MN thread is suseptible to retailers dropping in from out of state just to advertise.

It is nearly impossible to even be remotely into pinball in the midwest and not know of GAP.

I suggest calling GEX if you are looking for NIB. I have not yet personally bought a NIB, but from EVERYONE I have talked to locally that has, JJ has been both fair and honest when selling NIB.
