Quoted from Crile1:Houdini in the house!

Great game. You’ll have many hours of great fun with Houdini.
Quoted from hazmat7719:I just picked up a Lazy-Q for my dad! It was made the same year and moth of his birth.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
I like the super high scores on that Lazy-Q. 500,000 points and up. Back in the day when 5 and 10 point scores were the thing.
It is beautiful.
Quoted from RonB:All I brought home this weekend was a hangover!
what a journey,I put 5 bucks in the tank and settled in for a 40 minute roundtrip to pick up this relic
IMG_1889 (resized).jpgIMG_1892 (resized).jpgTook a long drive with partner-in-pincrime to pick up a seven-EM haul. That guy really knows how to strike deals.

The trophies are shared among our local Pinball Collective investors and awaiting plenty of work. I'm not actually claiming any of them myself - got enough projects to finish already!
Jesse's greatest prize is the center game on the left - an imported 1977 Interflip "Dragon."

Quoted from pinzrfun:[quoted image]
Ahhh you got that. I was going to go after it. Any battery damage?
Quoted from TractorDoc:Shot across town this afternoon for a quick pickup.
[quoted image]
Definitely project status as it was bought out of a house due for demolition. Pulling the dusty glass shows the playfield has potential. . . from 10 paces away at least.
[quoted image]
It will clean up and it’s a fun game.
Quoted from KSUWildcatFan:Wasn't at all on my list but I couldn't turn it down for the price!
[quoted image][quoted image]
That game takes a lot of shit, but it's actually a fun game to play.
Quoted from shacklersrevenge:Oh.. you’re a very rare bird, aren’t you...
My favorite game of all time.
[quoted image]
Well done. Also one of my favorite games of all time. I had one for 7 years, and it was a wonderful game to own.
Quoted from KSUWildcatFan:Wasn't at all on my list but I couldn't turn it down for the price!

That is a great game. We had ours for a few years and really enjoyed it.
I am sure that you and your family will love it.

Tbh I have low expectations on how long it stays, only because I have a metallica premium I've already put down a deposit on and need to come up with another 6 grand so I can go get it. But this was one of those kinds of deals you just don't turn down. They had an acdc pro right next to it that they sold for 3000... this wasn't that level of cheap but still..Couldn't say no. And it's basically new. If i love it I'll have to have a serious conversation on what else leaves..because I'm at max once metallica and my high speed come home. First world problems, truly.

That's the best way to go into a game! I've bought a few great games where I thought they would be here for 6 months and they ended up staying. It doesn't always work like that, but it can. Low expectation followed by fun play, followed by "why would I sell that?". Fun times.

I've done that a few times myself. You are 100% correct!
I did the same with Shadow. Price was right so I bought it without ever playing it. Thought I would sell it to pay for the lot of three games I bought. Played a few games and knew it was definitely a keeper.
Here's my first pin ever, a Jurassic Park, got it about a week ago. Turns out my daughter is a bit scared of the machine, apparently it's the colorful cartoon dinos she likes, not the more realistic kind, ho well. It's a blast. Though lately I've been practicing controlling the ball more which isn't the most thrilling experience, since it leads to frustrating drains as I basically fumble/fail miserably the whole control aspect.

Congrats, nice jump into the deep end.
Hope you have a big house!

Just make sure the plate in front of Hulk is adjusted properly (very sesnitive to activale Hulk) and the game is a cracker.. Black widow shot is insane.
Have fun!
Not certain, but I want one fo sho !
Quoted from edward472:Not a whole game. Bonus points if you know what it goes to
[quoted image]
know its not up there with the high end classic sterns but a not often seen cosmic princess from 1979.
has been sitting for 20+ years and by luck tried an old for sale ad that was 5 years old..and was still there.
this game was built here in australia.
usually the backglasses are very flakey but after taking it off the game could see why.
game play is similar to trident.
anyways in the resto queue she goes.

5 years, Holy crap. I didn't know allied teamed up with stern. That's awesome. Are the boards stern, then?
Looks like a neat game, congrats!
Quoted from Flash71:Finally!!! From So Cal to NY!! I can rest easy now. She’s home.

Wow! Is that an original?

The pin was designed by Stern so it has Stern boards. They shipped the boards, populated playfield and backglass to them in kit form to Australia and Allied Leisure supplied the cabinets, legs, Cohn door, etc., assembled the pin and sold it.
Quoted from Methos:Wow! Is that an original?
Yes! PACMAN did an amazing job on it. I honestly can’t believe it’s in my house. Lol!!

Bet you paid a shiny nickel for her.
Quoted from kidchrisso:Bet you paid a shiny nickel for her.
On par with NIB Stern.
Quoted from PinsOnly:Had to drive about 15 minutes for this one!! Glad to add it to the lineup!

Nice! What kinda mileage did you get on that road trip?
Just picked up 30 sheets of new tempered standard PF glass if anybody needs some.
And completely unexpected in the same trip...a Robocop.
Not sure if I’ll keep it or pass it on. It definitely needs some love.

"completely unexpected"
Was that glass from Ivan?
