playfield and cab look nice, unless i'm missing something.
Quoted from weaverj:playfield and cab look nice, unless i'm missing something.
That’s what I’ve been looking for for a long time, nice playfield and cab at a good price. The seller even delivered it to a Fastenal store and palletized it for me. He hasn’t worked on his pins in two years and wanted to sell it to someone who would appreciate it and restore it
Not exactly today's more like last week and my day job is keeping me busy so hadn't moved pictures from camera until today. Was looking to find a wood rail em for my next game but the pinside ad's down at bottom of page are to blame for this. Yes another DE game to add to my list of to do's.
Quoted from dmcinnes:Over a week late but here’s my first pin!
Had to take the back box off to get it through the door which was a bit nerve-wracking, but it made it!
Congratulations on your first pin! The second one will follow soon then they will start breeding!

Very nice. You started with one of the best.
Quoted from bluespin:I bought this from a collector in NY. This Paragon and Haunted House were childhood favorites. I already have a Paragon project ready to restore. The Black Hole has a heavily flaking inner backglass but Shay Arcade Group will start making them soon.
That game looks like it’s in excellent shape! Now I miss any of the four black holes I’ve had in the past. I would recommend getting the blue LED Boston Pinball displays. Had them in my last one, and they look awesome.
Quoted from yfz450:Picked one up today that you don’t see too often.
Lizard! Nice pick up. That’s not a game you see every day.
Quoted from timtim:And on my birthday seriously
Glad to hear you found yourself a nice present, and looks to be in decent shape also..
When I first got into the hobby, I could have picked up a Ringer for $50.00, but didn't
know what it was and too busy picking up Wedge Heads. I later got a Ringer, but I might
say, not for 50 bucks..
Quoted from timtim:Been wanting one of these since I played it at papa
Craigslist score for a great price
And on my birthday seriously
Just waiting for my brother to help carry it down to the b-list basement
I've grown impatient waiting and I've carried the last couple down myself.weighing more than the machine probably makes it a bit easier.
Quoted from balt:My first pin. 1979 Time Warp by Williams. Purchased via craigslist. Located only 2 blocks from home.
Congrats! And this is where you’ll be in a week…
Quoted from Scoot:I finally have a pin of my very own. Works great for not being serviced for 15 years. The only problem is I have no space for it. Who really needs a dining room table anyway...
You could easily fit another in there Congrats! The wife and I had 5 pins in our living room / kitchen setup in a tiny condo. we put the couch in storage lol. Welcome to the club and sweet looking game.
Wow, congrats to the first-timers! its a great feeling, having your own.
I am feeling good, got this little gem over the weekendIMG_2989 (resized).JPG its in rough shape but it plays.
So I now have a 60's machine, a 70's machine and a 80's machine. As soon as I sell a few more gallons of blood perhaps I can get a 90's machine!
Quoted from Coz:Just picked up this mint huo LOTR. Wow! It’s in near perfect condition
Drooling over that pin!
Quoted from dmcinnes:Over a week late but here’s my first pin!

Congrats on your first pin!
Now go get a bigger house-they like to multiply!
Quoted from NightMutilator:Super stoked on the Big Guns I brought home today!
But now your creepy macabre painting is blocked! I always look forward to seeing it, although it freaks me the hell out.
Quoted from Coz:Traded for this really nice huo Hobbit. My 2nd Jersey Jack Pin
Awesome! Looks great next to that LOTR!
Quoted from luckycreature:I know it's a Zizzle but darned if I'm not excited to let my toddler see if after school tommorow. Easiest three hour round trip after work I've ever made.
This is cool where do I find one for my daughter?!?!?
Quoted from bluespin:I brought this BSD back from Pinfest Sunday. The colors on the cabinet are unfaded, very few dings, really nice playfield, but it needs a shop job and small fixes. I couldn’t pass up the deal.
Very cool man. I apparently live right near you in John's creek as well. And I also have a BSD. Lol.
Quoted from Pinhead306:This is cool where do I find one for my daughter?!?!?
I got it for 175$ on craigslist. Seller gave me the wrong ac adaptor so Ive ordered one with the correct power voltage. Also its a drain monster so Im getting an old Bally Red saver cap to mount in the middle of drain and hope to replace the flipper buttons with something better. I already added some Funko Toys to the outside of playfield to liven it up. It is a toy but its a fun toy.
I have a Total nuclear on order but I may not see that till 2019 so this will provide some fun.
Quoted from luckycreature:Im getting an old Bally Red saver cap to mount in the middle of drain and hope to replace the flipper buttons with something better.
First order of business: replace the flipper buttons. They are utter crap, and the machine become playable IMO only after this is done. I had a selection of pushbutton switches in my spare parts, so I can't tell you off the top of my head which size you need. They were meant for a MAME machine.
I bought one and donated it to the same high school engineering program that I worked on a Fireball home edition for. They replaced the flippers and started on a retheme(mine was a PotC version). They were looking at gutting the controls and switching to an Arduino+Raspberry Pi+Mission Pinball Framework setup.

I have 2 Pirate Zizzles. By default they truly are drain monsters. I instantly added a center post, outlane posts on both sides and adjusted the ball guide on the left loop and this helped immensely! All my ideas came from:

Colsond3 Out of curiosity what are you paying for (human) blood these days?
Quoted from dudah:Rescued this guy today. It's been sitting in storage for at least 12 years. A few cosmetic issues but seems to work 100% and should clean up very nice!
Did it have only 600 plays before being stored for 12 years with the batteries installed that did not leak?
Got this NASCAR off ebay. Just came in today.
The coin mechs were stuffed with tokens, Im rich bitch.
Wonder if the seller had a token machine in thier house...? But wait it was set to freeplay... Was advertised as HUO
Good news is that the condition does match HUO. Really couldnt be more pleased. Looks rad with sparkys TV mod running Nascar video in the back playfield.
Very underrated game that Nascar, i used to have the Grand Prix version, fantastic game lots to do, true sleeper title, congrats.
Quoted from whisper:Very underrated game that Nascar, i used to have the Grand Prix version, fantastic game lots to do, true sleeper title, congrats.
I love mine. I really think it's one of the best values for the money. Multiple multiballs, good theme integration (not a NASCAR fan), spinners, 2 ramps, 11 modes with 2 wizard modes and some sub-modes, great use of drop targets with the risk/reward for mode bonus...and a Lawlor game with flow to boot. Once I played the game and looked past the theme I was hooked.
Quoted from Pahuffman:Only one more to go!!! What a journey this has been.
Can we be best friends?
