Quoted from Dan1733:You should get rid of your Illinois Pinball collection to me and replace with Sterns. Ill provide the Sterns.
Those I do need for tech support. And they do great here.
I do appreciate your generous offer though.

I'm sorry. I mistook this for CGC games.
I don't have any games from Illinois Pinball.

Guessing he means BBB
Quoted from Chrizg:Guessing he means BBB
That’s what I thought too. I’d say sure he can have all the Illinois games.
(Since it’s a capcom)
Quoted from Chrizg:Guessing he means BBB
In retrospect, that got me to thinking what he may have meant.
Quoted from EJS:I’d say sure he can have all the Illinois games.
Every Illinois Pinball games he can find here he can have free.

Quoted from LTG:I thought I should mention here. Posted on Facebook in the Midwest Pinball and Arcade Collectors group a suggestion to trade my jjp pins for Sterns.
Some nice posts on that thread and brobra offered help.
I have had some private contacts. And want to point out that since I no longer need to keep jjp pins for tech support, at some point they could be traded or sold for something I could use.
I'm not looking to wholesale them out, trade two for one, or any ridiculous offers. I appreciate distributors running store fronts need to make money. I'm running a business too.
LTG : )
Don't let them fleece you! List them in the secondary market just like everyone else and get their true worth. If anything, your ownership should increase their value!
Quoted from roger0043:Did I miss a thread where Lloyd stopped doing support for JJP?
Oh my. Well, here’s the wild one…

I didn't stop.
I was given the old heave ho.

A bit of a grasp being that it is not pinball, but anyone looking to sell a newer Big Buck Hunter (the arcade shooter, not pin)?
Quoted from abovethepin:A bit of a grasp being that it is not pinball, but anyone looking to sell a newer Big Buck Hunter (the arcade shooter, not pin)?
Check with Chris at Kingpin. In the past, he has had both new and used BBH machines.
Quoted from brobra:Trip announcement:
Minneapolis to Chicago sunday New Years Day.
Have room up and down.
Need to load any downstream games Friday, or pick up on route Sunday AM.
If anyone on this route is looking for the following Chad could grab these from me:
Bond LE - 25 plays, $13k
Star Wars Premium - 75 plays, $7900 or $10500 with r2-d2 topper
Wonka CE - 1000 plays, $13900
Quoted from alpo3744:are jersey jack machines not as profitable as sterns?
Interesting question for a seasoned operator…
I think profit is a product of coin-in minus (maintenance labor/ parts / cost of ownership / residual value.)
Quoted from alpo3744:are jersey jack machines not as profitable as sterns?
I don't have any of the Stern Spike games to compare. Compared to my remakes. jjp and CGC games are reliable and profitable.

Happy New Year Everyone!
Kicking around trading my Rick N Morty Blood Suckers. HUO. Mint. Loaded. Only thing it doesn’t have is the butter cabinet.
I love the game but just throwing it out there to see if anyone has any interest in a trade.
+/- Cash. Let me know what you’ve got.
Thanks!

message sent. Thanks eric.
I have a Buck Hunter for sale or trade.
Located in okoboji, IA.
It is the body style just before the newest style.
I cannot add a pic on this thread.
Open to selling outright or trade plus cash for a pin. Please PM if interested. Thanks.
We are looking to start up season 2 of the northwestern metro pinball league. Let me know if you would be interested. At the moment we are just getting interest gauged and do not yet know start date, day of the week, or duration. It will be IFPA sanctioned the same as last year.
Also, anyone looking for some very nice working slot machines? Both have working ticket in/out systems.
- Williams BlueBird3 Barcrest Triple Golden Cherries with Sprinkles on Top
- IGT S2000 Barcrest Double Triple Diamond Deluxe with Cheese
Anyone know a good repair person in the Twin Cities? I've worked with Craig's Pinball Repair in the past but am looking for an alternate person to help with my Meteor.

John Ross - https://pinballplus.com/
He's the best.

I spoke with him a year or so ago and he said he only focuses on playfield swaps and bigger jobs.

He’s been completely slammed the last few months too with the “inside weather” and people wanting their games working for holidays.
As LTG said it doesn’t hurt to leave him a message.

I think you are referring to BK.
Quoted from t_robertson:Anyone know a good repair person in the Twin Cities? I've worked with Craig's Pinball Repair in the past but am looking for an alternate person to help with my Meteor.
You referring to Craig Sanders? Assume he's still doing pin repair? Haven't talked to him in a few years. Funny this all came up. I'm looking for someone to do some minor repair on my Police Force. I've dealt with John Ross in the past, but looking for other options as well. I know JR is busy, that's why i'd like to maybe find someone else

So far we are up to 5 members. Anyone else want to join? If you aren't north/west metro chime in if you would be interested as well. Maybe we need to expand our zone to get more interest.
If you can't host it is not a problem as we do have a decent amount of people with games that can host one or more times as needed. We could also look to go to a venue a time or two.

This interests me, I’m in St. Paul. My issue is that I need to get my basement refinished and I can’t seem to get a contractor to commit to doing the work. Until that’s done, there’s no way I can have people here and retain my dignity 
Quoted from Vitty:Just modified my last message to indicate hosting is not a requirement
Oh! In that case, what day of the week will this be happening?
Currently thinking mondays or tuesdays - not nailed down yet. Working to get an interested list and then will work quickly to determine schedule and dates/times. Last year we were IFPA sanctioned and will be again this year as well.
Hey everyone…the Pinball Awards would love your thoughts and votes on “best of” 2022”. To add your opinions:
Quoted from Ribs:Just saw the Tilt FB post about how they are getting a Bond 60th for all to play.
No one does it like John!

I'm glad people will have a chance to play one.
With rumors of distributors giving up their allotments and lower price. I'm in no hurry to trade my jjp Pirates LE for one.
I'll wait and see how this shakes out.

Holy cow a $2600 loss, and he hasn't sold it. That was some expensive FOMO to get caught up in Tuesday.

Hmm... I've the travelling bar league on Mondays, and the Tilt leagues run on Tuesdays (which are over now, but I'm sure another will start soon). I might be willing to skip the later, but I couldn't bail on my team for Monday nights.

I’m in the twin cities with an empty truck bed. If anyone needs pin transport to Sioux Falls, PM me.
Or if anyone has a game for sale at a decent price.
Quoted from NightTrain:If anyone needs pin transport to Sioux Falls, PM me.
Have a safe trip home.
