Quoted from Tyamry:I bought this at Chicagoland a few weeks back and had it delivered.
Wow that is absolutely stunning! Love that cab dude. What does the slot machine arm do, release the captured balls? Pretty expensive I would venture eh.

Quoted from Paul1478:I know, everyone hates it
Hey who cares, everyone doesn't like one or another game that's ever been produced. Enjoy your game and forget what others think.
Quoted from Colsond3:Yes!! When you get a delivery from Shay, it's like bringing home a new game
The BG's Gottlieb produced simply were the best ever made. My Circus and Star Race are fabulous! Did you check with mayfairamusement Colsond3? They carry a lot of NOS BG's rather than repro. Wish someone would do the mirror repro's. I want one for my Circus.

Yeah I'm with you, led's just don't look good on the older SS pins. I like the 80's Gottlieb the best but, Bally or Williams are great also. Have fun, it's a great game and the one you have looks to be in awesome condition.

Doesn't get any better than that bro. My wife likes pinball enough to play when friends are over or we have a new game. Hope you both enjoy the new pin!
Quoted from djreddog:I will go on the record and say that I’m extremely lucky to have found her. We met 5 years ago, and I introduced her to pinball 2.5 years ago and she absolutely loves everything about pinball. She loves the pinball shows, loves playing in tournaments, and even requested we put 2 machines in the kitchen! It’s wonderful to say the least!
Quoted from Colsond3:Filthy as hell.

I have to say I played The Hobbit for the first time at the recent Cincy show and really like it. I also think it's much better than Lord of the Rings. Played that Hobbit at least 30 times, probably closer to 50 over the weekend

Is that the one from Pincinnati? Played it several times and to be so simple it is fun as hell! Enjoy!
Quoted from TopMoose:Also, the one at Pincinnati was a Junior and this is a Senior.
PF looks the same is your PF larger or score differently? Either way you got a great game!

Parents grabbed one from Dayhuff in MI, then this one came up on Craigslist in northern IL. So, why not get um both..
Two! Most have hard enough time finding one, great pickup!
That is an absolutely beautiful pin. Judging by the company it keeps life is pretty interesting around you......

Quoted from woody76:She wanted $300
Hell that would still have been free
Quoted from Colsond3:Yup, that was it. At Lermods booth. I should be there at least one day this year, if not multiple days.
You going to make it to Pincinnati this year Colson?
Quoted from Bundy:It is from a local hardware store.
What company produces them?
There are many wide body pins that play exceedingly well. IMHO most wide bodies don't play well due to not being setup correctly, my Circus is a prime example, set on a 5 degree slope it is slow and listless with the ball floating around, but at 6 degrees it plays like a beast, fast despite a more open PF and it really compliments the variety of shots you need to make.
Love that space invaders Colson, it is another that when set up right it rocks!!
With all the LE's, Pro's. and standard models they make out of each pin for commercial use, theyshould make a strictly "home edition" that has a real BG as opposed to translates. Home models should include every feature of all the models as well. Wishful thinking I know but, a pinhead can dream can't he???
Quoted from Pinkitten:Workin’ and practicin’!!!
Whoaaa on our night moves.
Quoted from GTO:Pinsiders be like:
Reminded me of the two drunk crows setting on the wires, that were in the Speedy Gonzalas cartoons when I was a kid.
Quoted from Colsond3:It’s actually Alec
Don't be a smart "Alec" 
Quoted from PantherCityPins:Do you make the same comment about Addam's Family? How about Twilight Zone? Flash? Firepower? Any of the other 12 machines that were produced in higher numbers than F-14?
This thread is about being excited about your new machine, no matter how many were produced.
Don't be a jerk.
Talk about the Twilight Zone..

Yeah, I've only got to play 10-12 games on ACNC but it was a blast. I'll get one once the price drops a little more.
Quoted from gdonovan:Embyon intrigues me, have to give it a try again next time I'm down at Colson's. Only had a chance to play one and it was sluggish and always like to give a fair shake.
They're going to have one at Pincinnati show I think, if you are close to Colson you could attend and play all you like.
Quoted from Pinhead1982:Hi - Yeah one of Mike Chestnuts last doors before he passed.
Had this door for 5YRS waiting for this game.
Damn 5 years! You're are one patient man to say the least., it does look damn good though, enjoy.

Quoted from Phat_Jay:I seem to have a weakness for 1980.
Because the 80's had some awesome pins that's why. I love the art, simpler rulesets, multiplier scoring, and the nerdy computer sounds, yeah....going down to play Circus.
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:Grabbed this earlier today. It has a battery U3 / U6 error, but I think it’s just because the batteries are shot.
Nice pin, I've never gotten to play one. I've played the video version and it was a blast so the real deal should be awesome.
Quoted from cjmiller:9 hour round trip to get it, but it was worth it.
I've never seen that pin before, it looks to be in pretty decent shape. Have you played it? Like it?

Quoted from loneranger:Snagged this Time Fantasy this morning!
Last year at Pincinnati was the first time I'd ever played Time Fantasy and I have to say I was hooked after just a few games. I really liked every aspect of the game and put minimum of 30 games on it over that weekend.
Quoted from goodypin18:BIG GUNS! Screw the haters.
Haters? I played that game just last weekend at Pincinnati and I thought it was fun. I only played 3 games but I enjoyed it. I try not to pay attention to others likes or dislikes, I'm me and we are all different. I'd bet that 90% of the pinsiders on here like Fun House, I hate it, didn't like back in the day when it came out, and still don't like it today. Each to their own so damn the torpedo's!
Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:Freed up a couple slots and immediately scooped up this little guy. So fun!
I know a lot of pinsiders said Wonka felt cheap but I did not think so, nor did the flippers feel weak. I played over 20 games on it at Pincinnati and it was a hell of a lot of fun!
Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:Man, this thing has so many shot paths and they are all fairly easy to hit. Combos everywhere, super fast, and it appears every single mode is stackable. The standard is a fantastic deal and really glad I went for it.
That's what I'm saying! Enjoy it man, you got a great pin there IMHO.
Quoted from dsuperbee:I was the first to respond that I would take them and pickup that day
Wow free pins and people actually contacted him and wouldn't come to pick them up right away!?! Congrats friend you are one lucky guy.
Quoted from pacman11:Grabbed several pins recently. Now I’ve got some projects to work on.. Nice pick up Adam on Godzilla!
Man you don't see a lot of the WW's for sale here. I've seen them up for sale though everywhere else lately. Nice grab, both are good pins.
Quoted from jrpinball:Looks like a water slide decal.
+1
Quoted from wayout440:Yes. I was further prodded by replacing he wife to make the road trip. I kid not, her words: "Who turns down any free pinball machine"?
Very wise woman, better hang on to her. I could hear mine now; Yeah I know it's free but, where you gonna put that thing there's no room. lol
Quoted from woody76:Brought this home last week and finally got it flippin. Kids love it and surprisingly I do to for it being so simple.
That's great, it's what it's all about kid approved!
Quoted from jrpinball:Bite the dust....space cadet!"
I don't remember it but may come back if they post a vid. Those were some good times through the 80's for video games.
Quoted from marioparty34:A double fantastic day!
Just like the doublemint twins.
Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:Say hello to my little friend!
Nice pickup but uhm...looks like you already had a lot of friends.
Quoted from daveyvandy:But look how happy he still is to be going home with a great pin
Great to see isn't it, grinning like the Cheshire Cat!
Quoted from corvair61:You can come over anytime!!
If I'm ever going to be your way I will take you up on that! I'd love to put a few on one.

If the rest is as nice as the head you got a great looking pin.
Quoted from PBEarwood:Just picked up this one today. Needs a good cleaning and a new flipper coil, but doesn't look too bad over all
That BG looks pretty damn nice and if that's representative of the rest of the machine then you certainly got a good pickup.

Quoted from o-din:Unrestored original condition
Simply incredible, I assume you'll keep it so are you going to protect the PF with mylar or something. Damn I bet that plays like a dream, one helluva pickup brother.
Quoted from o-din:I had a successful mylar removal on the Comet next to it, so this one may get the same treatment.
If anything I might would look at the old one and see if I should add mylar in places the factory didn't or I'd not touch that PF. What a find.

Quoted from Ballypin:This is my first time to Iowa and I didn’t know that this was a thing. This would’ve been a much better picture if I included the nearby Lions Den billboard in the picture.
If I had to guess what type of business that was by it's sign, I'd never guess gas...………...
Quoted from Ballypin:Avoid the cream pies
They sell them at the Kum & Go gas station and eatery
Quoted from northerndude:Holy shit!!
Nice score
Exactly! You have a small arcade in a day.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Haven't even gone through any of those backglasses yet just grabbed them and ran.
Damn I wish I knew you wee in Ohio and picking up those marques and BG I would have bought a couple just for wall hangers and used the Skyline to seal the deal!

Quoted from Atari_Daze:I recently obtained a 60's 70's vintage parking meter and my coworkers thought I was nuts, I confirmed it when I told them I want one of these next!
1562159543375 (resized).jpg20190703_091547 (resized).jpg
Got the phone out of a house near Miami University about 15yrs. ago and bought the parking meter from a guy who collects them, both work. Have the parking meter on top of the toilet.
Quoted from Jwf_pinball:Slugfest is a rental.
So someone is renting out pins? Just pins or coin-op in general? I thought some along those same lines and actually thought it might be a better way to limit damage as opposed to a route. I'm assuming you as the renter are responsible for damage above and beyond normal, like a kids initials carved in it etc.?
Quoted from Jwf_pinball:I've learned that a bunch of owners started offering rentals so I'd Google or hit up some owners you know
Not really interested in renting one myself, I just thought as a business it may have true potential.
Quoted from Colsond3:Driving home and this hit the hull.
Hey weren't you just saying a buddy of yours dropped a game off and you didn't have room for it, oh yeah you got it bad, terminal patient I'm guessing.

Looks like you ended up with 2, were the other three in bad shape or did you just want the 2 titles you have?
Quoted from gdonovan:Still loading!
Even better, bring one back for me!
Quoted from gdonovan:Colson is still the King!
Yeah I guess I'm going to have to concede to you there, Colson see's more pins in a month than Stern does 
Quoted from gdonovan:He has a certain panache wearing it
Quoted from bssbllr:I agree he wears it well.
Because he has a perfectly round head and now after all this praise it's a Big perfectly round head Only busting your chops a little Colson

Quoted from EasternBloc:2133 miles in and Slick Chick has some company. 1000ish miles to go dodging weather patterns!
Holy crap you have it bad sir, lol enjoy those pins though!
Quoted from ToucanF16:Your trip sounds like some of mine! I made a 3000 mile trip to Phoenix and back last year to get a Lexy. I had to buy a new set a tires on the way and encountered a freak ice storm in New Mexico on the return. The Pinball was well wrapped and stayed nice and dry.
Wow and here I thought I had the fever but next to you guys I'm just a bystander!
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:One can hope. They are a very young hipster type couple and it was delivered and set up for them when they got it a couple year back. I know because i saw it being delivered and then got a call about a week later asking how to turn on. They only turn it on for parties. Not to be played mind you but to be an expensive lamp/conversation piece.
Not all pinball machine are adopting into loving homes.
Hard for me to fathom someone owning a perfectly functioning pin and only using it as a plant stand or decoration piece. Maybe you could trade them another pin for it or an arcade game?????
Quoted from dirkdiggler:I'm a little slow today. Didn't even get the cannabis reference
Are you burning one now?
Quoted from cottonm4:60K for a grocery hauler is a bit steep for me
That's just plain out of my league period!
Quoted from dothedoo:It’s Solar Ride, just has the wrong backglass in the game.
Mayfairamusement will likely have a Solar Ride Nos BG. Contact him as his site doesn't show all he has.
Quoted from northerndude:This is probably it!! Ha.
Quoted from Colsond3:Kevin...you bastard!!
Lol Colson was broadsided.
Quoted from Silverstreak02:I picked up a project 1959 Around the World game today. It's in rough shape and will need a complete restoration.
I'm amazed at how white the post, lane dividers, and flipper bats are, hardly any yellowing, the pops even look good . great pickup!
Quoted from Jmac4506:My first post and first pinball machine ever!
Be forewarned both will increase exponentially over the upcoming months, enjoy!
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Nah, thats too many. Ill come pick up Jungle Queen this weekend
Look at that Gold Strike, the only blemishes are the shooter lane all else looks new!
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Uh oh. I haven't seen any of these movies despite owning the game.
For shame diggler sounds like you have homework. 
Quoted from djreddog:A nice Firepower came up for sale less than an hour away, this is my closest pickup ever at 55 miles away! I had my dad come along for the one, first time he has ever been with me as I needed his truck!
He's gonna want to start hauling his own pins now, you can't let people touch them look at the smile on his face he's been exposed!
Quoted from illawarra92:with photos of another woodrail picked up today.
Is that the correct apron for Hi-Dives? Caught my eye due to it being clown/circus themed while the pin/PF are diver themed

Quoted from cottonm4:How is bread employed in the arena of soldering pipe?
When you cut into existing pipes you always encounter residual water in the lines regardless which makes soldering next to impossible because it tends to dampen heat down. You can avoid this (not always a problem) by putting pushing bread into the line, no crust and just enough to block access, it will soak up and hold back any moisture long enough for you to solder. When done you can go to the nearest faucet and turn it on (be sure to remove screen if it has one before you turn water on) the bread will break up moving through the pipe and flush out the faucet.

Not a pin but I'm pumped just picked this up for $248.00 bucks at a Home Buy store my sis works at in Norwood. It was a floor model display somewhere but it is pristine, hell still had the protective blue film on the moldings. Played so many damn games of Asteroids and Centipede my rear was sore from sitting all day! lol
