Quoted from Av8:So you didnt sleep after. You kept waking up think it was a dream.
Quality line up in one visit. Nice.
Yup still didn't sleep well last night even.
Great to hear a good guy getting a deal instead of a flipper. Congrats and nice mix of different games.
This is second killer raid in the VA area in the past couple months. I remember a guy posting about meeting an op at his daughter's B-Ball game and getting ~8 machines. I'm living in the wrong state! haha -- congrats on the awesome find. Glad to see these games will be going to a loving home rather than a retail floor!
Quoted from BOBCADE:I wasn't interested in that one but wanted to meet a local pinhead which is how I got there.
Ah man I have to say I hate when this happens to me. I'm thinking someone is coming to check out a pin and not chat for hours and hours.
Great pick up though!!
Since you mentioned it...What is a VERY good price?

LOL, it took 2 pages for someone to ask. I have been waiting...roughly 55-65% of the lowest prices I have seen them selling out of here for when working. I am sure I will need a lot of parts but I think I am in good shape to be on the upside when they are all done. And I won't have to search anymore negotiating with people that list them 25% more than the lowest I see here.

Soooo they cost 55%? lol im confused
As a whole on the lot I estimate I paid 64% with them all working flawless and shined up nice. Individually I did better on one over another. That clear it up? I'd say even if I drop another grand in total on parts I am still very ahead. I guess I'm rolling the dice.
So far:
All need complete tear down shopping. I noticed with very minimal eval time:
Congo: Working well minus switches in the volcano. It does not register the ball in there and things get stuck. Otherwise fully working. Oh and the coin door service switches are not working.
DESW: Left flipper coil is sticking, trough switches are not working
STTNG: Trough board is not working, flippers are not operating, ball launch is good, cannons are good.
T2: Turned on, nothing displayed on the DMD and cannon was going back and forth, turned off.
I've been too tied up with the house addition and getting a new puppy to dig into anything. Once the addition is done I can organize my parts and tools in the closet, get my house in order with the pins in their new home and start tearing it up. I did promise my construction contractor Id overhaul his Hook for him so I am just debating if I can delay that long enough to tear into STTNG for myself.

Oh I mentioned my intentions on the phone the first contact. As soon as he heard I was down the street from him his tone changed to less business and I could tell he wanted to meet me also.

That's really awesome then! I am always down to chat, just not to tire kickers (not saying you are at all, just the difference of who I want to talk to)
