Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Nice.
Will you do the 2.0 kit?
Looking into it. I'm definitely interested in the 2.0.
Need to get Rudy's eyes working properly first.
Quoted from Sean_bc:Picked up funhouse tonight.

Nice! Did someone paint the cab black?
Quoted from jawjaw:Nice! Did someone paint the cab black?
Unfortunately yes. I'll correct it at some point.
They did the front and taped off a half inch to give the illusion of trim.

Noob or virgin?
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:Picked up some very seldom-loved games in a parking lot deal at Allentown! U-haul screwed me and thus I performed magic to turn my little Subaru into a clown car Pinhauler!!!
Fit Shaq Attaq & Truck Stop completely![quoted image][quoted image]

Nice and cozy 4 hour drive with Shaq Attaq’s backbox practically in my lap!
Im guessing getting them out was harder than getting them in? LOL
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Finally got my Godzilla unboxed the decals look nicer and more “thick “ then previous sterns . Another nib with no damage ! Thanks goodness

Congratulations, I envy you sir. Mine's been on orders since December. Wait, that's an LE, mine's a premium, what's the build date?
Quoted from Apinjunkie:Congratulations, I envy you sir. Mine's been on orders since December.
Hah! my Godzilla premium has been on order since September .... still waiting with no ETA
Drove 3 hours each way but finally got it home and set up yesterday! I'm so excited as I never thought I'd own an original, plus it's in my wife's top 5.
ETA: you can see the bottom 3rd of the GI is out, cab fade, and general wear but it plays like a dream!
I’ve been looking for a project classic Stern for a build for a while. The wood behind the coin door and left side of cabinet has delaminated, and the mdf around the head is really swollen, but these issues can be fixed. The price was great and looks complete.
Now I just need to find a few more classic Stern projects somewhat local to me. Anyone?

Quoted from DiabloRush:Pinball hobby, v2.0. Not quite the 30 machines I had 20 years ago, but its a start...[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Beautiful. I also has a collection 20 years ago (not 30 mind you!) and have just fallen in love with Pinball again after needing to sell my collection years ago for various reasons. Now I'm on a different continent it's time to start building again. Waiting until a house move in the next 18 months and then it begins......where to start, where to start. And with four kids now under 6 I won't be buying every NIB that's for sure. When I was last into the hobby pinball was essentially dead so NIB wasn't even an option. In fact it wasn't until 6 months ago that I realised that not only did it come back from the dead but it's in a golden era Anyway, those two look lovely next to each other. How is Houdini? It's an absolute dream theme for me but I hear it can be quite the beast....
Quoted from pinballfantasies:How is Houdini?
It is ok, but was short lived for me. On the other hand Oktoberfest is a keeper.
We are all different, and that is a good thing.
Quoted from pingod:Picked up a beautiful Ripleys believe it or not.
Game looks and plays like new.
The cleanest one I’ve seen.[quoted image][quoted image]
Love RBION. I’ve had 2 of them and miss it. A lot of pinball in that table. Funky theme and art, but I like it. I would like to own it again someday. Congrats!
Bluespin - if those drops are original, see if you can reuse them. New targets don't drop correctly and are very frustrating. You hoit them dead on, and they won't fall. You need to hit them with a glancing blow.

Thanks for the feedback.
Quoted from bluespin:Thanks for the feedback.
If you do reuse them, I had good luck with retrobriting my old drops to get them white again. You can see side by side that they look new after.
IMG_2326 (resized).JPGHaven’t posted for a while. Been waiting on games from the US for 7 months, shipping is still a nightmare time wise. Ordered an Alien LV 8 weeks ago. (Someone cancelled an order so very lucky to get one) And they all arrived on the same day haha. I couldn’t plan it that way if I tried. My back was killing me setting them up. Sorry for too many pix but I’ve been down to one pin for almost a year so got pretty excited
W?D is just an amazing restoration (a Christmas present from a very dear friend of mine) AlienLV is a beast lol. Playing great with only minor tweaks similar to any other new pin, I feel very lucky. JM was a surprise package, I bought it to sell but it’s in very nice condition and ended up being the most played straight out of the unboxing. Underrated game I feel now. Loving these Pinshields too.
So 3 in and 1 out. HulkLE off to a new home all wrapped and ready for pickup. Time for some more play. Happy flipping guys!!!

After nearly 6 weeks of back and forth, fighting with an absolute junkyard dog that had this half-a-F2K listed for nearly the price of a complete working one. I finally acquiesced to a manageable but still overpriced deal. Luckily the seller lived literally on my way home from my brother’s house, so at least no extra gas expense. Finally have a lower cabinet for my Cheetah scratch build! Bumping that one up in my project queue.

How does it shoot?

How is the clear holding up? Pooling?
New pin day! Godzilla in the house. First one was damaged in shipping and had to send back last month. This one arrived in perfect shape!
Thanks again Kurt and Mark at Hemispheres and Stern for fixing/repacking and delivering this in pristine condition

Fantastic day to grab a long time wishlister and got to meet another cool pinsider.

Congrats! What a catch! FT is a masterpiece and a keeper, imho. I’m totally hooked!
Bringing in a generously donated new pinball for the Saratoga Silverball Show this September 17th & 18th ! Very thrilled with this, and it looks to be in great shape. A great addition to the show! And an incredibly generous and kind gesture to help the show grow!

Quoted from thekaiser82:I think I speak for everyone here, well done on that beard! I wish I could pull that off. My wife would show me the door.
It’s about a year strong now! A beard of this caliber can be difficult for some women to handle! (that’s what I like to tell myself )
Dropped off a changer at my new location! Working on transferring ownership of everything from the old operator to me now. It’s kinda crazy, but this is the move that’s made it all feel real! 6AB2DBA6-A497-4E54-A3C6-187FFEB63BC9.jpeg The fledgeling pinball protégée celebrates the new location!
Quoted from BenB:My guess is a classic Bally/stern
Half right, little of everything.
Quoted from Ballypin:More like the old Arby's "5 for $5" deal ? Times $ 1100
Six actually
