Quoted from ToucanF16:Nice! Where was the drive? Solo or with a companion? I drove 1350 for a TAF two years ago; the things we do for this hobby!
From Richmond va to bristol va. 6 hours one way so 12 total. By myself. The love of this hobby is fantastic.
Quoted from pinheadpierre:Loving the massive road trips for machines! Way to be all in on the hobby
I too love seeing this.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Spidey looks lonely in that empty space. Looks like someone cleaned shop and left a pin behind
Quoted from PeterG:Or it will be the beginning of something beautiful.....
The winner is: PeterG. I'm putting pins in this brewery here in Richmond, VA.
Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:You lucky dog Skyemont! Those are the two next games I'm waiting for!!! Hurry up and post some video of DI
Quoted from Chosen_S:Your avatar pic is mostly video game, you post pics of rare games you don't have... lol you are a funny guy!
Thank you. I see you have your list of games blocked from us seeing them.
Quoted from bluespin:The value of the pins isn't important, the fact that you like them and will enjoy them is
Thanks...
Quoted from Rondogg:Believe me, I have way more respect for your collection than almost all of the cookie cutter collections (MMr, CV, TZ, DI, etc etc). Those pins all look like a blast!
These will add something different for sure. I will never buy remakes but i do own some William/Bally pins from the 90's. Oh, Negan scares me..
Quoted from dothedoo:Very nice. Now sell me that MGOW glass...
I just sold the pinball so the glass has to go with in.
Quoted from jmountjoy111:That’s awesome. I love Congo. I’m not interest in the mgow glass but if you need me to come get the b/w Congo I have a ton of boxes I can load it up in
I will keep u in mind. Thought it would be cool to have them side by side.
Quoted from Darcy:On the right side of the Playfield is that a working flipper? It looks like a ball would get stuck there if that is just a ball guide.
Went to IPDB, there at least 3 different set ups on this game. Flipper plastics used as guides. No guide in that location. 2 posts with a rubber ring. Those oblong diamond shaped posts. One could use any version of this.
No working flipper. Just needs to be tightened down. I did pic this up today.
Quoted from frankmac:Great game! Love the lighting effects on this one. Very rewarding.
Quoted from damadczar:Great game! I picked one up in similar condition back in November...
Quoted from bluespin:Assuming that the playfield is toast like most copies of this title, you can order a Hardtop playfield solution. Space Shuttle is already in stock. You can find the link to the sale site through this forum:

You can order a stencil kit here:

Quoted from frankmac:It a pin that basically everyone can enjoy.
Even Grandma!
Congrats..
That's beautiful. Wow
Quoted from Micky:Alien Poker is a good fun game. I was playing a mates just last night.
Cool. For the price of these 2, I could not resist.
Quoted from rai:It’s really neat, shows videos and instructions and the apps are really the disaster modes.
One of the best pins in years. Fun in everyway.
Quoted from ralphs007:I couldn't wait to make my first post in this forum.I brought home my first game today. I bought a Dialed In LE.
Very nice. Join the DI club.
Quoted from Soulrider911:Late model WCLE WOZ, with 24 plays
Nice. Welcome to the club

Doctor Who is correct. But i can see why you would think Attack.
Quoted from poppapin:Nice!! Are these at a brewery?
Yes. Hardywood West Creek in Richmond, VA.
Quoted from yzfguy:That's a LOT of games to bring home in one day!
3 Saturday and 4 Monday.
Quoted from Bud:No, just a collector and operator
Who did u get it from? I would like it now as well.
Quoted from homegameroom:I loved Genie and dumped a LOT of quarters in one when I was a kid! Enjoy!
I dont think i have ever played one.
Quoted from gdonovan:I have a Defender in my repair queue, maybe get to it this winter.
I have a Defender for sale.
Quoted from poppapin:I have to dump my storage unit, rent going up again!! Gotta get rid of that last pin....
I totally understand. I’m getting a large carport enclosed that will store at least 40 to 50 so that will help.
Quoted from PSchwisow:Just brought home Rocky and Bullwinkle, purchased from longwetsocks .[quoted image]
Nice. Congrats
Quoted from KickahaOta:Wow! I'd never even heard of this one until I saw your pic; that sounds like a really interesting game!
This is the big brother. ICB
AE25335C-A912-4AC4-ACD2-28E4338EF2BE (resized).jpegQuoted from Slogan1111:A huge shout out & many thanks to Skyemont. These beautiful Bally's are making another appearance on this page!
[quoted image][quoted image]
Very nice to meet you and your daughter. Glad you made it home safe. I’m sure we will meet at the Allentown show soon.
Quoted from the96stang:You seem to give colson a run for his money in number of games you pick up. I only know of one person who has bought more than you and him this year.
Quoted from Colsond3:Skyemont definitely brings home more. His posts make me feel so much better when I start thinking I have issues.
And you’re the Warden of the North Bri. I’m only in this for the fun of it...and to rule the Seven Kingdoms.
I only put about 1/4 of the effort into finding games that I used to. If you want me to go back to full steam, then...
[quoted image]
You guys are crazy. I got lucky last week. Sometimes it flows so fast and quick and other times I can’t find anything. The hunt is more fun than anything. Have a great week guys.
Quoted from gdonovan:Truer words have not been spoken.
Been dry for weeks, months and then an avalanche of pins in a few weeks.
I can not lie so please no one take this personally. COVID-19 has been good to me.
Quoted from cottonm4:As you all have been chasing pins across the country, did you get any indications that these were "distress" sales from some who may have fallen on hard times?
Great question. I can’t speak for the others but got myself, no. I did not get the impression any of my pickups were due to COVID-19, hard times, lost jobs, etc. More like they don’t play them any longer. Kids are out of the house now.
Quoted from gutz:What a shame, not a looker in the bunch
So true. A bunch of crap for sure.
Quoted from chubtoad13:Thanks! My wife rolled her eyes at me when I put them up. But I love them.
I got them from a pinsider years ago. I have no idea how he made them. They are 12” x 12” and very durable. The top feels similar to a laminate tile and the core is a rigid hard plastic.
[quoted image][quoted image]
I love them. Cool idea.
Quoted from Pinkitten:Setting up a very special pin tomorrow...just returned from 9 hour round trip to PA...sold my AIQ LE to add this gem...will post pics soon! I just noticed a little critter on the back of that car.
[quoted image]
How long did you have your AIQ?
Quoted from Bax1:you keeping that huge haul from last week?
No. Selling a few at a time. The pic I just showed are for sale.
Quoted from thirdedition:Looks to be a Capersville - https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=431
You are correct.
Quoted from SLCpunk2113:Gotta fundraise for that GnR CE
Wrong Colonel Sanders! GNR has been paid for. Selling these pins to make extra cash to get cleaning supplies and rubbers.
Quoted from Manny65:I've not played an Independence Day, are they any good?
I have not either. When I got this with a bunch of pins I never played it. Lol.
Quoted from Charlemagne1987:Gorgeous game. Congratulations!
Thank you. Very glad I pulled the trigger on this masterpiece.
Quoted from pingod:Secret Service and a wooden cross, hope you didn't pay much for the cross, lol.
I invented that. It’s my lifesaver. You put it in the back so it lifts the pinball up to take the legs off. No chair or person needed.
Quoted from jeffk:A slightly more portable version.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/show-and-tell-your-diy-homemade-tools?tu=jeffk#op
Yeah but mine is a Jesus one!
Quoted from pinmister:Skyemont you seem like you are flipping a lot of machines? May be time to invest in a pick up truck or something and quit wasting money on that Home Depot rental trailer. Just saying
Never thought of that. Good call.
Quoted from Dallas_Pin:Added AIQ to the lineup; placed the 2 games of 2020 next to each other to battle it out at the TWIPYs! AIQ completes my Elwin trifecta!
[quoted image]
That GNRCE is nice!
Quoted from Ceckitti:Damn thats a nice looking No Fear!!
Better hurry and get it home and out of the sun before it turns yellow lol
Quoted from Gorgar666:Get it out of the Sun! Fading fast. No Fear hates the Sun.
It was cloudy that day. Now she is in a dark place. All safe.
Quoted from yzfguy:Nice! Do you know if that marquee is the same size as a standard pacman marquee? I have a pacman can with a 60 in one and my marquee is scratches. That one would be cool to have.
They are not the same size.
Quoted from mollyspub:How's that No Fear coming along?
It's coming along. Just fixed the ball through issue w/ a new opto board.
Quoted from cottonm4:Be careful, or you will find yourself being called a "flipper" for turning a pin you have not at least put on some new rubbers.
It comes with new rubbers on the flipper bats and new legs.
Quoted from cottonm4:What's your play field look like?
Quoted from Green-Machine:Yeah!! Show us your playfield!
Quoted from cottonm4:Yours has the good eye on the right hand side of the coin door below the shooter lane.
[quoted image]
Most Big Games I have seen pics of, as well as my Big Game, has the messed up right eye.

Here is the Big Game thread and the Stern Electronics thread.

i will show pics this week end hopefully. My driver that is getting it has not made it back to me yet. I have never owned one of these so i don't know what the right eye is all about. I guess mine is good?
Quoted from luckycreature:Hadn't posted here in a long time till last week with my doctor who pickup. But when a $500 Taxi shows up..... Battery damage and all but can't ask for a better deal[quoted image][quoted image]
I tried to get it. Good job!
Quoted from stavio:Got a Cyclone only 15 minutes away from my place. Now I gotta find a Comet and a Hurricane
[quoted image][quoted image]
Good snag. I was second in line. Glad it went to a pinhead.
Quoted from TheBeefSupreme:Very happy to have brought this beautiful Shadow home today![quoted image]
Very nice Shadow.. Congrats!!
Quoted from pyrotech:Did you buy a house and found those in the attic?
No.. LOL..
Quoted from Garrett:Nice, very nice. An Aztec and a Caiptan too? Very nice indeed.
Thanks. The owners were super nice. Pulled up in the driveway that was 2 thousand feet long all paved on 50 acres. Nice as crap.
Quoted from Boof-Ed:After acquiring a pro about 8 weeks ago I knew when I saw this pop up that I just had to have it.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Nice grab!! One of my favorite Sterns..
Quoted from pinball2020:What did you buy from Kroger?
Apples, bread, lunch meat, sweet tea and chips.

[quoted image]
Nice unfaded colors on the Getaway
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:No, that playfield is REALLY nice! Congrats!
Chris
