That back piece is pretty sweet. I'd try and save it, post it on kijiji and someone would buy it! People pay for unique and one of a kind

Seriously, your going to destroy that? I'd kill to have that, and I'm sure there are others close to you that would as well. You could make a pretty penny. I've never seen it and wouldn't be surprised if there are only a few in existence. It's got to be close to 20'yrs old, as is the cartoon.

I bought it to use it for another use... That's why I bought it. A one of a kind wall piece. That's what Im always looking for, something different.... I also have a 7-8 foot Barbie display from Target when they were closing here. I made it into a sign for my oldest daughters room. Its a one of a kind too.
I just took a closer look. It was made by Jolly Roger, amusement rides in England. Cant find a date.
Seller did say he had several high offers but he had no desire to ship it.

100% I restored Kiddie Rides and if you were closer I'd
offer something very decent for it mostly to save it..
I'd have to think one of a very few (if that)..

Yeah, I'd rather you use the front to make a mold and then resell. Win - win.
But hey, it's yours, do with it as you wish.

Whats very decent? How rare do you think it is? I cant find much info on it at all. I don't want to wreck a one of a kind machine but I didn't think it was rare...
Quoted from Shiny_balls:I think this real, full size diesel loco is too big for the game room.....no?
I wonder if the interior is open inside the house, like a breakfast nook!
Quoted from Spencer:Whats very decent? How rare do you think it is?
I'm certainly not an expert on Kiddie rides, but do have some at my
pond area, and surely wouldn't mind that Superman Train..
I don't remember ever seeing one, and it would be interesting to know how
rare it may be. Maybe if another thread was started asking "Has anyone ever
seen another one of these", we'd get a better idea on how limited they are..
I'm not thinking that it's one of a kind, but I don't have a clue where to
locate another..
If you were within driving distance for me to see and if all was complete, it
wouldn't surprise me to offer a decent Cowpoke or something to that nature
for it.. (T)

I have to apologize---I thought a bit more about this, and in fact, I think I saw one years ago on ebay. I believe there is some kind of story behind this ride, so you may want to learn more about it. Not common, and you can certainly make some nice money flipping it.
Quoted from Spencer:Bought this last weekend for $200. It doesn't work but I don't care because I was planning on cutting it in half and using it as a one of a kind wall hanging art.
That's definitely a bit of a rare game. I wish you were closer. I would just come take a look at it, if not take it from you. Good find dude. Cowpoke is a fun game....
Some guy had this and I bought it for the hell of it....well probably for my daughter's "line up". Anybody have a manual?
Brought home two items yesterday. Had a listing on craigslist for a 100% functional IGT 5X Pay Deluxe slot machine for $300 that I was very interested in. Went to look at it and offered $250 for it and he accepted. Did not have the cash unit in it, but I didn't care for now. He had bought 20 of them (various themes) and was down to the last one.
While there, I saw that he had a ton of pins and arcade machines. Turns out he came across a warehouse full that had just lost there lease so he filled up a good sized trailer full.
He was dumping some of what he already had as he primarily was interested in pins. He had a Big Buck Hunter that he wanted to get rid of. Had no board in it, but the WG 25" monitor was good. He said if I took it today (yesterday), I could have it for $50!
Sold!
Going to turn it into a MAME machine once I cap the monitor.

Thanks for the update. I have been trying to track down some info but cant seem to find much. Ill keep looking.
Quoted from Schabs81:Fishtales
Nice example! Make it more challenging and put lightning flippers back on.
Quoted from Schabs81:Fishtales
Nice looking Fish Tales.
Has yours been redecalled or just lucky to find one in good original condition with unfaded sides?
Quoted from dothedoo:Nice example! Make it more challenging and put lightning flippers back on.
Also, this too!
Quoted from Schabs81:Fishtales
WOW, that Fishtails playfield is in excellent shape, not to mention the cabinet art is nice and bright. Is it all original?

Im not 100% sure guy i got it from just said it was his first pin about all i know. Is there a way to tell?
Bought this jungle lord about 7 years ago for $25 bucks. It has been in "storage"(at my parents) as I went through college, getting married, renting houses/apartments. Now I finally have a fully finished basement that I did this winter. Can't wait to go through this and get it 100%.

Congrats on getting the new room finished. I know what it is like trying to get an area put together that you have wanted for years!

I hope 7 years ago you removed the battery
Quoted from brenna98:found another rare one!
Damn!! Where are you finding these games! Looks like I need to visit Minnesota.
Quoted from Colsond3:Damn!! Where are you finding these games! Looks like I need to visit Minnesota.
LOL... that's a first!! Someone from the pinball capitol of the world wanting to go somewhere else to find a pin. If I had a nickel for every time PA shows up in my pin search, I could build a larger game room to house all those pins I CAN'T seem to find in MN. You seem to be swimming in pins out east compared to around these parts.
Quoted from Colsond3:Where are you finding these games!
I put a little write up in the quicksilver owners thread. It almost didn't happen. but thanks to pinsider Drewblood419 I can save this one.
Quoted from Lord_of_the_pins:Brought this bad boy home today ! Thanks to a great pinsider
Coin slot bulb out on yer coin door
Quoted from Lord_of_the_pins:Brought this bad boy home today ! Thanks to a great pinsider
I like the powder coating....Looks really nice!
Yes it feels good to finally have some space for some pins!
Quoted from catalina:Congrats on getting the new room finished. I know what it is like trying to get an area put together that you have wanted for years!
The batteries were still in it, as I didn't know/remember how important it is to remove them. Needless to say I have learned a lot in that time and have since pulled them and will be remote locating the pack.
Quoted from wantdataeast:I hope 7 years ago you removed the battery
Quoted from Lord_of_the_pins:Brought this bad boy home today ! Thanks to a great pinsider
That thing looks sweet!!
Quoted from nascarrey:Pulled this Night Rider out of a basement in Chicago...someone hacked a connector on it years ago.....
One of our favorite games here, EM version.
Quoted from gdonovan:One of our favorite games here, EM version.
Good to know-seeing that you have 15 games, that's surprising! Cant wait to get it cleaned up!

Just a fun, fast paced EM with multi-player which really brings out the competitiveness in visitors here and it does not hurt that it sounds great too! Toss up between Williams Olympic Hockey and Night Rider which one slings the ball fastest around the table.
