Thank you for following the new rules 
Quoted from Kolchak357:Nice get. I have fond memories of playing The Amazing Spider-Man back in the day. Love the 67 cartoon style artwork on it.
Definitely. I think this is my fifth or sixth one. Every time I sell the game I regret it, so this one will hopefully stay for a while, if not permanently.
The artwork alone on this pin is awesome, the original Marvel art. Blows the bobble head Spidey VE artwork out of the water.
Quoted from Skyemont:You guys find amazing finds.

I've never played an Elvis, when you tilt does it say "you're all shook up"?!
Quoted from frankmac:Star Wars Pro.
I did not think this would end up in the basement but it did. I like it!!

Looks nice!
I've never been a Star Wars (movie) fan, but this pin seems well put together.
Quick Pinball Quiz: What was the first pinball to use 3" flippers?
From IPDB: "'Hayburners II' is credited with introducing 3-inch flippers to the game of pinball in place of 2-inch flippers that were used since their introduction in 1947. However, Sample games may exist of Gottlieb's 1951 'Happy-Go-Lucky' as shown in its flyer, where the flippers appear to be 3 inches in length or longer."
There are so many firsts for me that I don't know where to start.
- My first horse racing themed game
- My first oscillating center ball-shooter
- My first zipper flipper pin
- My first rotating target game
- My first four flipper Williams pin

Hay Burners II, Williams October 1968: The FIRST pinball machine to have 3" flippers. It is only one of four Williams pinball machines to have zipper flippers. They don't close completely. They open when shooting the ball from the oscillating ball shooter between and below the flippers, then close part way.

Derby Day, Williams October 1967: It is the ONLY Williams pinball machines with rotating targets I could find on IPDB. There are two of them and after being hit, they rotate 90º to reveal the next horse number. It, too, has an oscillating ball shooter. Unlike a Gottlieb Roto-Target, these rotate horizontally!

I love the Christian Marche artwork of the galloping horse smack dab in the middle of the playfield racing toward you, the player.
Both games have a really cool mechanical backbox with 6 horses that race to the finish line. When two people play, the first player gets horses 1, 3 and 5 and the second player gets horses 2, 4 and 6. Two player games are definitely the most fun. It's more fun to compete! 
In this case, that slogan really is true.
I would like to get one of these out on route to see how it does. I think it will do well so I am moving up in the restoration queue. I use more of a LIFO rather than FIFO method of accounting for restorations here at Pecos Pinball!
I can only pick up two pins in my Chevy S10 so I will be going back later to pick up the third. I got these from a great Pinsider and seller in Scottsdale. Thanks DD! 
Quoted from shacklersrevenge:Just picked up for sexy time! [quoted image][quoted image]
No idea what "sexy time" might entail with TWD, but good for you to be lining it up!
And I like your clever use of old pool cue handles as rollers in the back of your minivan!
Good job!

She’s nice looking!
Yeah, once upon a time many years ago, I pulled a WCS94 out of a Tahoe and it ripped apart the front of the cabinet getting snagged. That kind of sucked.
Once you use a pool cue, there’s no going back!
And it’s a Yukon XL, it’s been raining like crazy here for several days, ugh.

Try Williams Beat Time... Yaaaaa, Yaaaaa, yaaaaa.
Started hunting this title about 2 weeks ago after deciding I didn't have room for a full size or puck bowler.
My wife loves to bowl, but we never seem to find the time. She's also not the best Pinball player and gets frustrated pretty quickly with regular PB games so ...
I thought I'd try to find a Gottlieb Strikes 'N Spares to see what she how she liked it ...
She loves it! Really, really enjoyed it
We played against each other this evening for a few quick games after setting it up and really had fun
Cool game and a sure winner in a larger collection - Adds nice variety
Paid up for the title for a few reasons :
- It was only 90 minutes away
- I was able to inspect and play before pay
- This example looks almost new
- Came with 14 extra, new balls
- Owners manual, spare price cards

Great game, especially for 2 or more players! Congratulations. Make sure you have mylar on the playfield from the ball eject area to the flippers, very common wear spot on this game.
Quoted from Pinballer73:Great game, especially for 2 or more players! Congratulations. Make sure you have mylar on the playfield from the ball eject area to the flippers, very common wear spot on this game.
Yea. Thx for the heads up. Saw quite a few with wear there. I'll cut a paper template then transfer to piece of mylar and custom cut a piece.

Re Gottlieb Spider-Man: I've owned this game for about 20 years and have one that must have been a HUO, and it remains one of my favorite games. Between the awesome art work (which Gordon Morison said he traced from original Romita art - yeah, I'm a geek) and the simple, but fun play, this remains a keeper for me. I was even lucky enough to have Stan Lee sign it! - yeah, Super Geek. Congrats on the purchase - sixth or otherwise.
Picked up a nice NGG west of Chicago today from Brian. Good Pinside seller. Excellent condition and everything worked.

Not all may care for the game, but that's a heck of a pellet find..
Quoted from embryonjohn:This one was sitting on a pallet 3 levels high in a warehouse for the past 20 plus years. It’s number 58 out of 3815. I feel honored to have saved it [quoted image]
Just a quick backstory about the Fireball rescue. On the same pallet was a Captain Fantastic with more hacked in wire nuts than actual wire...

Fireball the original...It is a great game
Quoted from Boof-Ed:Brought this weird one home tonight. It’s going to have to wait until the morning to set up and start cleaning. Been a long day!

Underrated game, unique playfield and tactics needed to really enjoy it.

I drove 2 hours from my home to pick these up from a recycler that opened at 8am. A Marilyn Taxi and El Dorado City of Gold. Both missing back glass but both are complete. The Taxi actually works and doesn't appear to have any board damage. Both will clean up really nice and are extremely dirty. But what makes this so sweet is that I paid the asking price of $50 for both games. Can't wait to start on these projects.

Wow is all I can say, enjoy!!!
Quoted from bicyclenut:I drove 2 hours from my home to pick these up from a recycler that opened at 8am.
Glad to see your doing you’re part to help the environment, recycling recyclables.
What a deal.
Quoted from RonSS:^ Holy crap!
Quoted from RWH:Wow is all I can say, enjoy!!
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Glad to see your doing you’re part to help the environment, recycling recyclables.
What a deal.
I couldn't give them my money any faster. I even gave the guy a $10 tip for helping me load them up. I felt like I was stealing them. Almost pealed out getting out of there!

The deals are still out there!!!! NICE score.
cjmjmm2006 You got to set up some ‘plaining to do with that picture. Tell us the story!
I’m out on my own adventure today. Nearly 3000 miles RT to pick up a grail pin.
Added over 6 years ago:I got the pin and am headed home. 1200 miles to go!
Picking up this pin is somewhat bittersweet. I’m very lucky to have it. Anyone following the TBL saga knows how rare these are. Unfortunately a lot of people have money on the table for one and nothing to show for it.
Quoted from Skyemont:2 going out and 9 coming in tomorrow. Pics coming.
[quoted image]
This story is going to be great. I can’t wait to hear and see more!
Haha. Not much of a story really. Abel Electronics set it all up, I actually just received it. =) if you want one give Gary a ring and he will set you up.
