Quoted from bluespin:You take any parts off the 2nd machine that are better than the 1st and swap them out making your 1st game better. Then you sell/trade the 2nd lower quality game.
Great minds think alike. That was my justification to the boss (wife) for the purchase. This is actually the 4th Flip Flop I have purchased over the past 29 years. Sold # 1 to my brother in law and he still has it. Sold # 2. Restoration of # 3 has been off and on for almost 3 years with a cabinet re-stencil and is very nice already. Didn't really need # 4 but couldn't pass it up.
Got a hot tip on scoring a Hot Tip today. had all kinds of goodies in the cabinet, two sets of schematics, two instruction manuals, service manuals, service bulletins, technical topics from 1978 Play Meter, extra score cards, extra instruction cards, extra bulbs, fuses, the original metal coin box with lid and even came with an unused tube of Williams Coin Machine Lubricant.
This machine will clean up real nice I think, the only down side is somebody left the batteries on the board for the past 15 years and it done a number on the board.
Quoted from yfz450:Not sure I'm keeping it.
Dude, I just imported one of these bad boys... please pass it to a pinside fellow if you decide not to keep it
Quoted from schudel5:Game #50!
We are going to have to get an extension put on the building!!
Quoted from yfz450:Not sure I'm keeping it.
Looking at your awesome collection, I'm going with "tongue lodged in the cheek".

Thanks to mbelofsky for making my trip south to drop off my Vampire playfield for clearcoating to sohchx more worth it.
Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:That is awesome of you to pass this along to someone! WTG Michael! I hope who gets it restores and gets it back up and running.
Done. Some soldering, stepper unit adjustments, rubbers, LED's, cleaning and wax. Playing last night.

The last one I had went to an awesome pinsider. After I sold it my wife deeply missed it. She loves that game and went with me to pick it up. I just sold a few pins, waiting funds and pickup, so I may hold on to it for her for awhile.
If I decide to sell it will go to a pinsider I'm sure.
I just picked up probably the nicest all original IJ ever. Has been in a climate controlled storage for the last 23 years, the original owner bought it new. The coin media have never even been used... the thing literally looks like it was in a time capsul. Still has the signed cardboard with number off the assembly line of 33
I was willing to make a 32 hour drive for that Indy!
Just couldn't make contact with the seller.
Congrats to the new owner!
Sorry I stole it from ya @mikehogue, I knew this was the one, and could not pass it up! I still can't believe it actually

That is an amazing find! Congrats on getting a very nice original Indy!
Quoted from sulli10:Black TAF followed me home
Black TAF and TZ always look good. Invest in color dmd for it? I went led in mine.
GAY TIME! LOL - Name says it all!
I'm REALLY starting to enjoy these bingos! Deep rule set, strategy & skill required with an element of chance - very cool!
I'm picking up two Miami Beaches today in clean, working condition, if anyone is interested.
Man, the internals on these things make an EM pinball look like a child's toy!
Today I bought a Pistol Poker. Didn't know much about it but had to jump on it because it was fairly cheap. It's in good condition but need a tune up. Only 200 made, I feel very lucky to have this machine

You need to get "Straight Flush" to go next to with that one. http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2393&picno=24765

There were 480 produced, and yes they are very hard to find. I played one at Allentown this year and it has a great rule set. There is a bonus feature where you try to complete poker hand in the head display with the flippers. Kind of like the bagatelle in the head of a Catacomb.
Quoted from bluespin:There were 480 produced, and yes they are very hard to find.
I saw that pinside said 480 but ipdb says 200 (confirmed) so I went with the 200 but I have no clue

Look Colsond3, I brought home it's bother today....Got some playfield wear but overall not to bad looking, it was priced right.
Quoted from gliebig:Played a pistol poker at Allentown. Didn't know the rules but dug the soundtrack.
i couldn't hear crap at allentown.
Quoted from weaverj:i couldn't hear crap at allentown.
You probably couldn't hear the Pistol Poker because I had the volume up too high on my hs2 Getaway a few pins down that same row.
Quoted from Pmuis:Today I bought a Pistol Poker
That's super nice looking!
Wish I owned it
Quoted from bronco-jon:Look Colsond3, I brought home it's bother today....Got some playfield wear but overall not to bad looking, it was priced right.
Nice...I tend to like these games with the spinner mech. Changes it up a bit.
Quoted from Cloud7:Finally got my DILE
Congrats! Build quality on par with Hobbit and WOZ?
(I love my Hobbit)
