Quoted from ZNET:Congratulations on acquiring a very nice Genco Two Player Basketball. Did that one happen to come from Wisconsin?
There was one in Wisconsin for sale?

Quoted from Jappie:Ahhh thanks. And thank you, Mopar! I quite enjoy it. Let's see how much staying power it has. Still curious if the price I paid was ok!
I just looked up the Euro to dollar conversion. That would be a smoking deal in the U.S. Congrats on a great game at a great price.

Quoted from Mopar:Williams 1967 Kick Off is a really good
player. Alex can confirm to that..
Yep, I miss Kickoff. Almost bought another one recently. I would have loved to revisit it, but it had a crappy cab repaint that made me feel stingy. I understand the Heatwave thermometer and Kickoff/Touchdown football unit are essentially the same.

Well you can use a wedge head. There are two styles I believe with some slight variation internally. The glass you can probably source. It's the internal mechanicals and light board that make it tricky. They are unique to the game. Still I wouldn't give up on finding an orphaned Dimension head. It may take some patience but similar pairings have been done before.

Brought this Space Mission home last night. A trip from hell. Cold and slick. So much salt spray on the roads I went through a gallon of windshield wash. Then 5 miles from my destination I discovered my grandson must have the flu. I did my best to clean up most of the barf at a gas station. -5º currently so not sure I can get all the leftover frozen chunks. 
Ah well today is a new day and I have a nice game to play.
Quoted from aahgo:Frozen Chunks...nice visual! Hope he’s feeling better.
Yes, much better this morning.
Quoted from Grayman_EM:Nice Space Mission I'm looking for one of those. I was wondering if the cold and weather would slow the pin gathering of this group.
Thanks! You got to get 'em while you can. If you don't someone else will. Cleaned the barf out of my car and was back on the road Sunday to pick up a second Grand Prix. 6º and sunny didn't feel too bad after some of the weather we've had recently.
I'd post a pic of the Grand Prix but she's no creampuff. Trying to make one decent one out of two.

Quoted from spinout:Ha! Ha! Hello again. It was a pleasure.. and thank you for getting that beast out of the basement. I used your technique to get her into mine without my wife having to help. You have quite the cool collection going on! #44 and #47 bulbs are cheap as the day is long - amazing how many bulbs there are in that thing. Love the glow of an incandescent bulb. I can't even use LED lighting on anything in my house - the blue light, frequency of light, overly white, something bothers my eyes. Even the ones trying to impersonate an incandescent bulb just look like yellow LEDs to me. I know I am crazy.. hell, I have to order regular lamp incandescent bulbs on the internet now as stores don't carry them anymore. Thank you again!
That's good you got in without summoning the wife. Makes it easier to sneak the next one in. As far as the bulbs go you're preaching to the choir. I am a bonified member of the incandescent fan club. Mostly just a bunch of cranky old timers in there, but they are a good group.

Quoted from Badamack:What is this solo moving technique?
With an EM a dolly is what I use. I have some outside stairs and I bring them in by myself all the time. Nothing complicated. I need help with later SS stuff where the head is attached though.
Quoted from o-din:You are a young guy so I'm going to swap out all the incandescents for whatever leds I still have laying around on whatever machines I'm going send you, and you're gonna like it!
That's ok. The price is right. I have been too lazy to take them out of the last few games I've gotten.

Quoted from Mopar:Not to compare, but it reminds me that years back I picked one up for $35.00
No longer have that, but still have a couple of Kick Offs (AAB version).
Nice little player!
Love my Kickoff. I'm on my second one.

Brought this old Lucky Ace home last night. 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.

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.
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.

Quoted from Puffdanny:My favorite of my 3 em's
That is promising. I've had Little Chief and Flip Flop and liked them both.
Quoted from egyptrus:Was this the one in the Racine/Kenosha area? I think I saw it on facebook and tried a couple of times to get the guy to respond to me but he never replied to any of my inquiries. If that's the one, I'm glad someone got it.
Dave
Yes sir, that was it. I don't have Facebook though and got it through Craigslist. You've been on a streak lately anyway.

Quoted from DennisDodel:FYI: If you need plastics for the Frontiersman, Pinball Rescue just re-made them. Great game.
This one has repros (from Shay i think). But thank you. I'm having a lot of fun with it already.

Quoted from Colsond3:Not as much as I would like. Haha.
I got a call last night that an elderly guy was moving, wanted to sell the game for a decent price, but needed help either way getting it out of his basement up 14 steps. He couldn’t do it, and the game isn’t currently resetting. So I wanted to help out.
Pretty much out of space at this point, so I might just pass it on (and for the same price I picked it up for, because I’m not a flipper)
I had one years ago but never got it up and running. Little did I know what a fun layout it is. Since then I picked up Hi-Deal (essentially the single player version). Normally I play the crap out of them for a year or less, get bored and moved them along. Hi-Deal has earned a permanent spot in my small collection. Hang Glider may even be better with the drop target bank.

Weird, I just picked up a Night Rider project too.
NightRider (resized).jpgQuoted from Colsond3:Project? That thing looks restored already!
Thanks! It's got pretty nice cosmetics. Perfect glass as all these Ballys seem to. Mostly will need a good going over the mechanics. Everything looks pretty clean inside but the score motor was froze up with old grease. Easy enough to correct.

Quoted from Pinbub:This one's kind of unfair since it's a cabinet repaint. That having been said, I added a shot of the playfield, not a clear or detailed one but someone will figure it out. You folks amaze me. No cheating,BTW.

I'm guessing Williams Stop-N-Go? Coin plates give it away as 60s Williams. Looks like reverse flips, although I think it would have had red originally.

Quoted from Murphdom:Nice grab. pinhead52 is going to be jealous. He only has about 8 of them
I like his project but I couldn't convert this one. Hoping he has some spare plastics.
Quoted from Superpops1:We finally added an EM
[quoted image]
Not one you typically see either. Looks cool.

Quoted from aahgo:Congrats Alex! Definitely a favorite in my collection. It looks like it is in nice shape, is that an original BG?
Thank you! Yes, it is but the game came with a Shay repro in the box also. I do need the beachball plastic for the head. I'm guessing that might be unlikely. Probably have to make one.
Quoted from jrpinball:WOW! Congratulations! That's probably number one on many EM collectors' wanted lists. That, and "Majorettes". It looks very nice too. Post more pix when you can.
Thanks! The most I have ever paid for a pinball and it's a project. With that said I think it's interesting with a production run of 235 it was still cheaper than a typical blown out High Speed (17,080 units produced).

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:Neglected to post this when I picked it up. Went on a road trip down to Jersey.
Got this Target Pool body for Murphdom and the Mini Pool head for my machine!
This head turns out to be the long-lost mate for the body I have. The husband was getting divorced, the wife took the heads and sold them to a local pinball guy about a half hour away.
He died less than a year later, and some covid-Pinballer with more money than brains bought all of them to “fix”
So he spent several months trying to make a Mini Pool (AAB) head fit onto a Target Pool (Replay) body.
Obviously doesn’t work, but can’t help those types!
I’m very grateful for Murphdom negotiating for this mismatched pair! Love Mini Pool and I’m so thrilled I can play my own.

I don't know a ton about older slots other than I like them. One thing I seem to see regularly in ads though, is if it has it's original lock it seems to be a selling point. So if you can pick it and get it keyed it's probably worthwhile.

Quoted from jrpinball:I think it's a little silly actually.
Why does it depict a rainbow trout? It should have a shark or a marlin or some other deep sea fish, not a bleepin' trout!
True enough. On a similar note, one of my favorites for cab art is Gottlieb Just 21. It has absolutely nothing to do with the theme of the game from what I understand, but sure looks cool.
