I truly enjoy the different scoring strategies on Champion Pub if you’re playing multiplayer. I hope to have mine for a long time!
Quoted from cookpins:Made my first trade this weekend, very happy about who came home with me!

HIPPOS!
Nice score!
Quoted from RonSS:Looks like it's been in a time capsule!
Thank you! It's super nice. Less than 30K plays, which is low for a Gottlieb EM IMO. Cab/metal reflects it!
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:SCORE SCORE SCORE.
Allentown was a blast, but everyone was asking “why are you only staying for a few hours when it’s almost a 4 hour drive both ways?!?” I couldn’t risk blowing this.
bluespin you are the best. I own you a lobster dinner!
This estate sale was only 25 minutes from my house. I went into this thinking there is no way I’m gonna snag it, always miss it by a hair! We got there a half hour early and the entire cul-de-sac was full of cars. The whole road was lined with cars. There was no way some other pinhead wasn’t already in line, ready to pounce.
We got there and had to sign up for either the house or the barn. Did my research and knew exactly where it was. They lined us up and some guy behind me started talking “oh yeah they’ve got an old pinball in there, can’t wait ” and I told him, “yeah, we’ve been checking it out!” Good to get a read on the crowd. Asked the estate sale guy what they were asking and he said $XXXX. The guy behind me balked and said “they only sell for $700-$900!”
Not sure what universe he lives in... either way, they gave us all numbers and Taffy and I were one number ahead of the other guy. ONE NUMBER. Only because he signed up for the wrong one first!!
We got in there and booked it right down to the basement. There it was, in all its glory tucked next to 3 Christmas trees and a huge craps table. The room next door was a sauna and a massive hot tub. Dude’s basement had THREE bathrooms.
Can’t imagine the wild party’s he must have thrown!

There was this awesome neon sign hung over the gambling room that we bundled into the deal as well. What a great morning!![quoted image]
I’m still in awe. Cannot believe I’m posting this sitting next to the most beautiful Alien Star I’ve laid eyes on. It has the name and handwritten notes from a longtime local tech, with everything that was wrong with it and what was fixed. It’s really such a nice survivor, and I am grateful to everyone who’s helped me score deals like this and rescue these machines from boneheads who suggest forcing the head down as hard has possible,

CANNOT BELIEVE I OWN AN ALIEN STAR.
Alien Star rocks!
Quoted from PlanetExpress:1935 Jennings Flying Turf. This one was built in a modified Sportsman cabinet (they hid the payout chute behind a spring loaded panel), rather than the Flying Turf cabinet (seems to be original, not a later marriage, but I guess anything could have happened along the almost 90 yrs). This is the first double payout mech I’ve seen… pays nickels for scores and pays big tokens for “Turf Champ” hole (which is oddly labeled as just 100 points here, but says “Turf Champ” on later playfields).

Quoted from KSUWildcatFan:Woooooo, my four eyed alien babe is here!

Quoted from Daffy69:Brought this one home last weekend...SN 14!
