Took my BSD and MSF to @ryandimx's wedding today, so I'll be bringing them back home later. Does that count?
Quoted from Djshakes:Never played either. Hope they are fun.
TOTAN is IMO the best looking WMS/Bally ever made and will be fin for a couple of months, then it gets old as the depth isn't there.
WH2O is also great looking and lots of fun, and will be for a long time.....
Nice pickup!!

Whitewater is one of the few machines I’ve owned that I want back.

Nice gesture.
Quoted from dhard:Actually got this last Saturday but forgot to post
That playfield looks a lot like Target Alpha/Solar City/Eldorado. Is this a system 80 El Dorado EM reboot
Quoted from Milltown:Thanx man.
It's a daily driver .. 1965 chevy g10.
Is that first picture taken out front of the Magic Forest in Lake George???

Quoted from bek1966:A two Jeep haul! Not the most desired type of game for the pinball crowd, but the price was right and I love the artwork.

That is cool! I would have had to have that too!
Quoted from Joker2415:That is cool! I would have had to have that too!
Thanks! I'm still trying to figure out the game play on it, but it's complete and seems to work. I'm going to give it a thorough but gentle cleaning and maybe a little light cabinet touch-up where its down to bare wood.

I don't know anything about them but it looks to be in decent shape for as old as it is. I like anything game related.I
Added ..I just looked it up out of curiosity. 1948/49 if I understand the page right.

Yeah, that's what I found too. I think there is some mention of this game and other Horse Race games on an EM Bingo thread elsewhere on Pinside. It's a single ball game that you play by adding nickels to set the odds and other potential payoffs. This is a replay game, so if you win you get more games. Each bet costs a nickel, so the more you win the more you can use accumulated credits to pay for the subsequent bets. It's basically, a gambling machine. I believe older examples of games like this Horse Race game and other Bingo games payed out in money.
Anyway, I have room for it and I have other pinball machines and EM machines so this will be a nice addition to the collection. Gameplaywise it's not something that most would want for a single game or smaller collection. I got it for $100 and met a really nice couple that have a fantastic home filled with lots of cool games and antiques - it was worth it to me!

Eight Ball Deluxe came home. After trying to get a nice one for years. Had 2 well worn ones in the past that never worked right. Found one with a NOS playfield that had been swapped in. Playfield was nice but swap was done poorly. Wrong coils put in, wiring wrong, missing parts that took months to scrounge etc. Tracking time took me just under a 100 hours to get it working right.
George, gmkalos on pinside https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/55126. Cleared thr NOS playfield. He did a wonderful job and it looks so nice. Also upgraded to 1984 EBD light boards and linear flippers converted to regular. Game is all sorted and staying. Can't stop playing it.

Only if you report how many plays they got
Quoted from SadSack:That playfield looks a lot like Target Alpha/Solar City/Eldorado. Is this a system 80 El Dorado EM reboot
That is exactly what this is. It’s a very popular reboot, solid state, system 80 Gottlieb game
Quoted from dhard:Only if you report how many plays they got
Hahaha. About 70 each. Not too shabby. At least some kids gave it a whack...

Your braver than me my luck someone intoxicated would spill a beer or drink all over the machine or worse yet vomit all over it than you'd have a pukeula or barfenstein pin
Quoted from blowback1976:Traded with a fellow pinsider for this poor guy.
Hey you finally got a wof! Congrats!!
Another one off the list.

With only 905 made, it is not seen very much these days.
Quoted from Raincity:My first pin was delivered this weekend! DILE number 436!
Well, Damn..... That's a pretty nice first game!
I've been busy the last few weeks. I've sold Big Hurt,Big House,Laser Ball,El Dorado COG, Alladin's Castle and traded James Bond 007. I've since picked up a King Rock (no pics) from Expo. I drove up to Wis yesterday morn and got these from a fellow Pinsider.It's my third CE.
Unloaded those and loaded this up
Then headed up to Mi to Ron Kruzman's to get a N.O.S. JD pf and these.I got home about 11 pm last night.
Almost forgot I picked up a Lucky 7 a few weeks ago I'm going thru it will be a friends first pin.
Just traded my TSPP for a LOTR. Been wanting one for a while. Looking forward to spending some time on this machine.

Quoted from AUKraut:then it gets old as the depth isn't there.
Quoted from Djshakes:Yeah, I heard that about totan. Had to have but will probably kick down the road.
I thought this would be the case for mine after I restored it, but since I have pinball players in the house that are not serious players, and are just casual (Wife & daughters), It's their favorite pin, and I still have it almost 2 years later!

True, TOTAN was my wife's favorite as well back then, however she may play one game every month or so....
Quoted from Milltown:Finally scored a data east trek ...
Youre going to need a bigger house soon, you seem to get a game every week or two...
Quoted from Aladdin:Brought home this dusty Bally Flip Flop! Manual, Schematics, Score Cards, $9.50 worth of quarters, coin box, near perfect BG. PF is nice as well.
Not necessarily a theme for me, but it's such a colorful game and actually fun to play. I would probably grab one if I found one locally. I've seen a few before, but I kept flip-flopping whether to grab them.
Quoted from chaosrooster:Just got a chance to post this now, had it for a couple days. It's my first pin. I love all the old System 11s especially Pinbot.
A great first machine.
Quoted from dhard:Your braver than me my luck someone intoxicated would spill a beer or drink all over the machine or worse yet vomit all over it than you'd have a pukeula or barfenstein pin
Pincups. And glad nobody broke my custom Dracula cup. There was some monkeyflippin going on, but I hovered nearby to supervise.
