Come out here. After I close I'll give you a ride back to the hotel.

LTG : )

Anyone in the Twin Cities have a couple of white Stern, Sega, Data East drop targets they want to sell? I am cleaning and replacing my drop targets in Maverick and I came up a couple short. I had just placed a big parts order, so I really don't want to place another one for 2 drop targets. This is what I need, any help greatly appreciated!

let me check and see what I have. I think I have a few.

...

Changed my mind and went with Terminator 3. From Pinball Warehouse. Just had 2nd thoughts.

That's OK....now we have another T3 owner in town, I have that one too. I put 3 double spots on my T3 and it REALLY made a dif. If you come to my Daytona/Pinball party Feb. 23rd, 11am till ?? you can check out how much better it is for game play.

Ping one last time.

Wife is SO EXCITED to finally play Sopranos!

Thanks for the invite, but I won't be making it this round. You've got quite the collection going, looks like you've picked some Sterns up since I last talked to you (at Pinball Circus).

T3 - I really haven't had much of a chance to play it since the ball lock likes to hold onto the balls. Not sure what to do to get it working, but the Warehouse offers a warranty on it yet thankfully. The lighting on it looks nice though.

Sweet. You guys can play that and I'll play WOZ.

Had to move machines around again to satisfy my OCD.

Now Sopranos and WOZ have a corner to themselves.

Chris

Oh Sh*t, you got a WOZ. nice!

I was thinking the same thing! If Chris posts the audit counts like he did last time, should be interesting to see!

The place that used to be called "Insert Coins" is on that same street (1st Ave) and only down 1 or 2 blocks North.

I can't verify if they're still open or if the games are still there because I've never been inside.

Here is the new website (and name) -- http://www.thevenuempls.com/

This information is probably too late, and Lloyd had the better offer.

WI State Championship volunteer info messages/emails went out today. Most of them were via Facebook contacts, so I think I've covered everyone at this point. tmac should have a pinsidemail message right now.

If I forgot to send you one or there were technical difficulties, please PM me or send an email to [email protected] so I can send you the details.

Yep message received!

Hi

I am looking to purchase a very, very nice "WHITE WATER" pinball machine for the family, hopefully all shopped out and ready to go, without any problems.

We would especially like one with the white mountains, and have the Cointaker LED's in it, but not a deal breaker, as long as the condition is nice and the price is fair to the both of us.

If you have one you would sell, or know of anyone that does, please PM me with the details and price. Thanks in advance!

Dan

Mark your calendars. The 2nd Annual Pinball BBQ will be held on Sunday May 25th. We need your help to make this a great event. Please sign up to bring a game. We also need help with volunteers. Check out the official thread for the BBQ when you get a chance.

Ohhhh sorry. No WOZ. WOF. Sorry for all the excitement.

You can all cancel your plans for coming now.

Chris

Lmao! Lot of people got excited there.

I will happily play a game of WOF with you Chris.

I was thinking he bought yours!

Me too! "Come on, big money!!"

I went to Morty's. We didnt stay out late because 1 of our friends couldn't behave so we went back home and played cards. Lake Mill Sac was a blast again this year. 2 people fell into the iceholes, 1 cell phone dropped in, 2 guys got sharpie'd, someone got to sleep with a fish, and played ice football.

No WOZ?

F that.

NO wammies! Oh wait, wrong show... I told Chris this was going to be a big party. Jeremy is even making the long haul!

no WOF CHRIS?!?! I'm done!! FOREVER!

It's OK he's got WOF. Don't be done.

Way OT, but is anyone looking for some high end, but older, gently used home theater equipment? I have an Emotiva DMC-1 preamp looking for a new home. Was originally their flagship $2k model. It is pre-HDMI, but I do have a remote HDMI switcher which can convert audio to optical that can go along with it. Has the original packaging, remote (an Emotiva branded URC MX-500), manual, etc.

I do have the matching Emotiva MPS-1 amp which is 7 channel, 200W per channel. Not really looking to sell that as I am still using it, but could let it go for the right offer if you really want the matching set. Also have an Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player available. It pairs up nicely with the preamp as it has 7.1 multi-channel analog outs so you can still listen to True HD and DTS-MA audio without needing HDMI. I may hold onto this for DVD-A, but again a good offer would take it. Mostly only looking to let the amp and Oppo go if it's a package deal with all three pieces. These both also have all original packaging, etc. I can include most of the cables you might need and am more than willing to come help set-up and calibrate everything for you if reasonably local.

Let me know if any of you are interested in either the preamp or a package deal. Prefer local deal as these are heavy, especially the amp (80 lbs or so). And of course, pinball or gameroom related trade offers are highly encouraged. Can add cash to trades also (well...at least once the tax return shows up, LOL).

New hot spot in rochester mn for pinheads!

Lineup includes
mb
stng
taf
and ft!

Come down and play!

wow,
Thats a nice line-up.

I hope your pins are kept up, I went to that pizza place with pins and they were horrible!

Also, your post doesn't say where these are at.

Whoops at colonial lanes in our bar. More for adults as its in the bar. There kept up weekly as our vending company's
does there best.

I was just there a couple weeks ago. They switched out a T2 for STTNG. It is at Colonial Lanes.

Just what we need down in that part of the state. Good going.

Dang it. I'll still be working in the basement.

Check the weather rusty. Looks like snow on Saturday if your heading south.

Chris

If you decide to come down early, You can hang at my place for a bit if you want. I have one or two machines that may be fun to play.

Sounds great, I will be around all day. If you need my contact info, just shoot me a PM.

Have fun!

People that are coming down for ChrisS party are also welcome to come early and go to TomT's for the IFPA WI SCS. There are 2 side events for charity that are open to the public and you can of course come watch Ken and Ian clean house and kick everyones butt!

Yes. Because I REALLY want to visit CO this year.

Ian was ill early this week - he missed 3 days of school. He was so worried he would not be able to participate, but he's feeling a little better. He still looks a little out of it, but then again he just turned 13 so i guess that's a natural look for teenagers.

Good luck to all the WI delegation!

(I kind of miss the trash talking)

Yeah, Hilton's reverse trash talking is starting to get on my nerves! Can't wait to DESTROY him tomorrow!

How's that Mark?

Found a place with TOTAN near work. Since I've never played it, going to stop up there tonight just in case they decide to use it for the tourney.

INFO UPDATE

Hope everyone is as excited as I am that the first-ever WI State Pinball Championship is tomorrow!
