I'll also guess Cyclone on the Williams game.
The blue one is Seawitch (1st choice), Star Gazer (2nd choice)
The yellow one is a little tougher...Skateball (1st choice), Fireball II (2nd choice)

Bought my first pin! A Dr. Dude in pretty good condition, could use a little fixing up, but otherwise perfectly functional and just as fun as I remember.
I played it over 10 years ago while at college, and fell in love with it. Been making do with the Pinball Arcade app emulation in the meantime. So glad to finally own it for real!
Congrats on joining the Dr. Dude club! Was this the one on ebay last week sold outta Philly by any chance?

Nice.. Missing your Big Shot Figure, I am not surprised..
Quoted from dmbjunky:Monopoly, is that you?
Yessir. Turned out to be HUO when I got there and I couldn't load it fast enough.
Quoted from dmbjunky:Was it cheap because HUO is kinda standard for sterns.
I was very happy with the price.
Also, I've seen Monopoly on location a bunch out here in New England and it really does seem to earn.

Monopoly is a bargain of a pin. There's TONS of stuff on the playfield. 3 ramps, 4 flippers, 6 pop bumpers, Lawlor design, GREAT flow. and you can still find them for 2K or slightly more. It's a great game. Good dots and sound too.
I love the Monopoly we got. Clean up really nice and was only 2K. Not sure what you paid for the HUO one, but I would say it was woth it.

Yeah I wasn't trolling. I played a Monopoly at Funspot in May on vacation. It's one of the cheaper sterns and if I ever found one (and had the money at the same time) I would definitely buy it. Great find.
Just picked up an Atari Atarians. Now I should be able to confirm and add some of the missing pinwiki info about this game, since there's a few differences between this one and later Atari games.
The game coins up and flips, but the displays were out. It very well might be just a fuse!
Not only is this game fairly uncommon, but one interesting thing about this particular game is that the original owl-eye coin door was replaced with a Bally video arcade game coin door--likely because the owl-eye coin door was easy to defeat with the coin-on-a-string trick. Luckily, I already found a spare owl-eye coin door that I can use to replace it.
I now have 4 examples of the 6 Atari themes produced (not counting Hercules). I just need Time 2000 and Space Riders to complete the Atari collection.
Here's a couple photos of it still wrapped up as I was unloading it.

was the backglass nice?
Quoted from Chosen_S:was the backglass nice?
Yep, just about perfect, except for a few small flakes missing along the bottom black border.
Quoted from Sethman:Congrats on joining the Dr. Dude club! Was this the one on ebay last week sold outta Philly by any chance?
Yep! Sorry if I sniped it from you.
Quoted from dmbjunky:Love the Doc and Marty portraits.
Thanks! I drew them myself.
I'm going to be posting a restoration post regarding this machine with lots of pictures and questions, since this is my first machine, and I'm a real newbie at this. I already replaced a couple of the plastics and rubber rings, but the electronics side of it is a little daunting.
Quoted from rcbrown316:nice dude! Looks like you have another couple weeks on the f2k stuff. Here' what I got wed. This is my embryon train. In order to hide it from my gal so as to not ruin the surprise I have to put all away when she comes over lol. This was as a damn nice example to begin with. wish I had taken some pics before the teardown. Should have it totally done by sunday. all deluxed up good 'n proper. left the lightboard and inside the backbox alone as it was already really clean. everything else completely disassembled tumbled, polished, buffed, painted, touched up, clearcoated, new plastic'd etc. that's game number 31 in 16 months...embryontrain.jpg
31 in 16 months! That's crazy! You do nice work so I'm sure they will look better than new!
I'd love to get a Monopoly. Not sure why, just really like it. All the one's I've seen have been on location. I think I've played it in 3 different locations.

great game. I have rotated sterns out before but this one is keeper. good family fun like Jurassic park
Quoted from jmountjoy111:Picked up a nice White Water and High Speed today.

I know where you got those...
You sure do use a lot of wrap ForceFlow.
Hey Woody, is there anywhere close you've seen a monopoly on location?

You might have to come over to my neck of the woods - there's one on location in Newport, KY.
Quoted from lapean111:Picked up a Royal Flush today. Backglass is super nice, Playfield and cab are average. Plays fine after a couple of adjustments. Overall very happy with it!
The more important question is; did the cat approve?
Quoted from paulywalnuts23:I know where you got those...
Cost me whirlwind which was my favorite game. I'd had it for a long time though so I guess it was time to mix it up
Quoted from dmbjunky:You sure do use a lot of wrap ForceFlow.
Yeah, but it's cheap--it works out to about $20 per roll of 18"x1500' and is enought for several pins. It keeps the dings and scratches at bay when moving and transporting, so I figure it's worthwhile.

Agreed. I cannot begin to explain how many times wrap has saved the bottom edges of a the cabinet as I slide games in and out of the vehicle. At $20 a roll I use a ton also. Now if I can just keep from getting dizzy every time I wrap one up lol.
Quoted from dmbjunky:Hey Woody, is there anywhere close you've seen a Monopoly on location?
Main Street Amusements (http://www.msamuse.com/) in Lafayette currently has one. I try to head there about once a month.
Quoted from jmountjoy111:Cost me Whirlwind which was my favorite game. I'd had it for a long time though so I guess it was time to mix it up
You got both of them for Whirlwind?
Just finally got my Fish Tales in this weekend! I was a bit nervous since it is an import from Italy, but it looks and plays wonderfully!
Fish Tales PF Lower.jpg
The lower playfield shows the standard fish insert wear, but other than that, it's very clean. Just needs new posts and rubbers.
Fish Tales PF Upper.jpg
The upper doesn't look bad either IMO. I might end up replacing the boat ramp since it's a bit scratched up.
Quoted from paulywalnuts23:You got both of them for Whirlwind?
Nope. Lol. That would have been nice though.
