Quoted from dluth:Finally found one of my grails...
[quoted image]
congrats! Such a great an under rated game!
I bought one a few years ago thinking I would only have it to fit that special spot in the game room that does not fit a standard pin. One of my favorite DMDs to this day.
Quoted from jibmums:Just brought these two home, does that make me a degenerate gambler? My first double pick-up and it also brings my collection into double digits.
You'll be back in single digits after I come pick up that Centaur! Congrats on the double down.

you weren't the only person that saw that...

Aha, you must have espied that $250 Centaur in the background. Yes, you read that right! 
Picked up part of a Skylab today, freebie on the side of the road. Guess it's a consolation prize for missing out on a Pharaoh this weekend. No head, so not sure what to do with it. Suggestions are welcome, thanks. Started a thread here...

Geez it’s pretty nice. Must be a head out there looking for this!

Salt...meet my wound. Congrats again!

Congratulations, that's quite an accomplishment. Roll on the next milestone, triple figures!
Not a pin ... but a beautiful part of one!
Thx to 
markpin2013 for helping me connect on this near perfect Playmatic Black Fever backglass.
Amazing ink job including silver glitter - so well done
I got the head box as well

Was that the one on eBay where the entire game was parted?
Bought a jackbot completely blind (seller sent me one picture of the machine wrapped and on its back in his garage). Had a friend pick it up and when he dropped it off, he noticed all of the backbox boards were red. I haven’t looked underneath the playfield, but this might be a prototype?

Yes. I’m close by the seller and have purchased machines from him in the past.
Quoted from MT45:Yes. I’m close by the seller and have purchased machines from him in the past.
It’s a nice machine. In fact ALL Playmatic’s are nice. I’m on the hunt for a Playmatic Magic.
I picked up the final boss of all projects. TZ is my one and only holiest of grail pins. This one is ugly, dirty, bent, broken, and incomplete, but its mine. I will likely spend over a year restoring this game but it will be worth it in the end.
It is VERY incomplete and so I will be looking for a lot of parts. If anyone has spare parts (especially boards) and would like to see this game get brought back to life please send me a PM, I'm still working on a complete list of what it needs.

Looks plug & play to me. 
You definitely have your work cut out for you. But I agree…in the end it will all be worth it. Hopefully you got it for a decent price given what you’ll have to put into it. Congrats on the grail!
Quoted from NicoVolta:Jumping Jack yesterday... Jungle Queen, Sheriff, and Big Day today.
So many EM’s, so little room.
[quoted image]
You’re out of control. Bring some to York. I’ll free up some space for you. 
Was going with a pro right up till the end. So far so good. I think the music fits the pin. Upgraded the sound system right away.

I couldn't resist a Bally EM with multi-ball, zipper flippers and skill shot that he had. I always wanted a Fireball EM. I played one in 1975 and still consider it the best EM ever made. But no way was I going to add a Bally Fireball to Pecos' Palatial Pinball Parlour. The price is prohibitive.
Thanks to the Scottsdale Project Pin Guy I was able to bring this one home. It's not Fireball but I am just as happy to be getting it! And it is a real beauty! 
I'm not sure if this 'very special' game will be going on route. If it does, it will have to be in a secure location where it won't be walking off and with the least amount of abuse. No bars or pubs for Four Million B.C.!
This completes the Bally EMs that I want in my collection - Old Chicago,
Wizard!,
Double-Up and now
Four Million B.C.. What a great line-up! I am so fortunate to have these and I have so many people to thank. Thank you all!
I will do my best to bring these classic Bally EMs back to their former glory so today's young pinball players can get a chance to live the joy that some of us older farts have been fortunate enough to experience.

Quoted from Colsond3:No coin door lock? Nice pick up. Love the color scheme on 6MDM.
No lock so it was swung open in the pic. Backglass, playfield and cab were all really nice - just the typical battery corrosion on the mpu.

Yeah, we’ve all been there. Haha. Sometimes I even pull over on the side of the road to wedge something in there because halfway into the drive I get sick of it flapping open and pushing it shut again.

I drove 300 miles with a coin door flapping open and shut inside my suv. I bought some 7/8” locks and placed them inside my toolbox. It’ll take less than a minute to install a new coin door lock and then I won’t have to listen to it flap open and shut all the way home after buying my next pin
Quoted from bob_e:RFM followed me home, Kara says I can keep her.

I like that machine and maybe I'll pick one up some day. I don't know enough about them though. I like the EM next to it.

Man, you are lucky. I wish I had one of those follow ME home!

Jackpot Baby. !!!
Quoted from gac:Brought this home today. I've been wanting one for a long time.
[quoted image]
Brought her home a few weeks ago. Added brass lockdown bar, brass side rails, replated the three wireforms in brass. Cleaned up 90%. Still have to remove upper mini playfield to clean under, add diode cliffy protector, and get my biplane back (sent out to be painted and modded to add working propeller). I love this machine.
