I see what you did there.
Quoted from ktownhero:Said literally everyone on this forum when they started
He can still get more....He said "Just got my first (and probably only) Back To The Future pinball machine!" So he can buy anything but another Back to the Future pinball machine....It's genius.
Quoted from Tbpilot78:Nice,i love the theme on MH,looks mint
Thank you! The cabinet is in average shape but the CPR gold playfield, CPR plastics, new main board, new rectifier board, new posts / rubbers, and the original backglass being near perfect sold me on the game. I put some Blitzwax on it last night and it plays really quick.

I give you 6 months tops, before adding another
Go ahead and add a few...they don't draw 1.21Gwatts. Well that one might and if you get 88M you might be able to travel back to when pins were cheaper and get a bunch
Quoted from northerndude:I give you 6 months tops, before adding another
I lasted eight months, but that was tough (IJ in 01/2001 then SS in 09/2001). Then it just continued...
Six months seems about right.
Good luck and enjoy BTTF.
Brought home a Close Encounters yesterday. All new Rottendog boards, but there are a few issues. Found the knocker coil stuck, sound board seems to be bad, and maybe a bridge rectifier. Keeps blowing the 5A fuse for the solenoids so hopefully it was just the knocker coil doing that.

I've never gotten to play one and the layout just looks kickass to me.

I’ve always wanted them all.... GREED... lol
Quoted from WizWiggy:Now appearing at Epidemic Ales in Concord, CA! Indy & Angus make for a good duo IMHO.
I always thought that The Sopranos would do well at a brewery/bar location. Any thoughts? [quoted image][quoted image]
There’s a bar in Palo Alto that has a sopranos. I ve been half dozen times. Bar always crowded and I was the only one ever playing it every time I went.
Not sure what that means or if any machine would be played more..
Just info
Today was a great day! It was my first day back to work after a few months off for summer holidays...I teach at a local college so summers off are sweet and it’s a little hard to go back to be honest. What made my day so great was I finally found an Addams Family after about 7 years of actively trying to purchase one locally!! My friend offered me his and I had to jump on it...it’s my 40th birthday on Saturday so I told my wife this is my “midlife crisis” purchase!! Came with a CPR Gold playfield that I’ll tackle next summer.
Also snagged a Stern Trident while I was there because I needed to fill the classic Stern void I created when selling my Seawitch to Malibu-SS fund the TAF purchase. Fun pin for sure...I’m a fan of those old Sterns.

Quoted from RWH:Does the whole cab look as good as the side in the pic?
Yes will post pics soon. It's cab and head is great , the playfield inserts took a beating and need new ones. the playfield and Mpu(adjustment failure) are the weak points. An MPU with chips is almost 490 $$ jeez/

I'll make you feel better then - that $490 is $649.36 CDN for me, so consider it cheap, ha!

Post in the wanted here, someone will have one cheaper likely.
Quoted from dc2010:Can't beat the charm of an old mechanical backbox in a gottleib!
I find the running man unit in my 4 Bagger and the mechanical backbox clock that interacts with gameplay and scoring in my Beat The Clock pretty charming.
And even the mechanical baseball players in 1948's Williams Yanks backbox, the first flipper pinball game I know of to have any mechanical backbox animation, pretty charming to.

The louder the better because it can really annoy my kids 
. All kidding aside I really do enjoy the mechanical back box animations. They add a lot to the game. But the two I have left are super loud. My Williams Line Drive was ridiculous. It sounded like an air raid. Especially in the room I had it in.

The Adjustment failure hopefully will just be batteries. Nice Score.

I always knew you could buy for home, my delay was a electrician friend told me my fuse box was maxed out and everything would have to be re-done with a larger fuse box. Finally one day it hit me.. if I am playing pinball it means the jacuzzi, shop, or nothing else will be running, so I do have plenty of power.
Yeah, 2nd thing... I started looking around at what I could move or discard for more.
My personal 3rd thing is the phone would ring, gf "what are you doing"? me, "I am driving". gf "are you on your way to get another pinball machine"? me, "yeah, I will tell you about it when I get back".
Quoted from MiamiRedSkin:A VERY nice Space Invaders followed me home today. Not sure if it is a keeper, but the art is amazing to look at.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Where were those space invaders hiding. Looks in terrific condition
Quoted from Beaumistim:theres a space invaders sitting right now in madesto CA, on KLOV for 550 bucks
Man I haven't logged on there in YEARS
Quoted from dc2010:Man I haven't logged on there in YEARS
Pain in the ass to use that site to me.
Finishing up a 1000+ mile round-trip. I drove to Indiana to pick up a Benchmark Ten Strike I purchased earlier this year. I’ve always wanted a big ball bowler. One slipped through my fingers about a year ago. I came to my senses and realized they’re way too big for my game room and started looking for something smaller. On the way back I stopped by Flip N Out and picked up my BKSOR-LE and Beatles Gold from Zach.
The pic of the Ten Strike is in the seller’s home.
These 5‘ x 8‘ U-Haul cargo trailers are fantastic. It can easily swallow up six NIB pins!

It's been sitting uncovered in a building for 30 years. It was free with the promise of first right of refusal on some of my other coin-op stuff if/when I decide to sell. The best part beside the price was the sticker on the coin door. I have never bought a game in my hometown but this one at least was originally routed from there. Really looking forward to cleaning it all up.

How’s the PF?
Quoted from Murphdom:How’s the PF?
It's very dirty but I think it's going to clean up nicely. The backglass looks pretty good too upon first inspection. The worst part is that big chunk out of the corner of the front of the cabinet.

That doesn’t sound too bad. I just did an arcade cabinet that needed a lot of repair. It was fairly easy.

Nice item! Glad your 4 Bagger and Skill Roll didn't end up on that first refusal list.
Quoted from AlexF:The best part beside the price was the sticker on the coin door.
Quoted from NoQuarters:Alex - you will like Lucky Ace - Again . It's a fun game. I always liked the one I had.
Yeah, I did too. I just wish the cab on this one was as nice as yours.
