Quoted from Whysnow:

congrats!
I really want to find a nice Embryon some day!

Thanks, I really lucked out with this one. Playfield was restored by a professional artist, then clearcoated.

One of the few games I regret selling. Glad she's back and even better shape.

Brought home a No Fear with very little to no cab fade. Can't wait to throw in some LEDs and 'play better!'

Drove out to LA to pick up a sweet deal. I was surprised at how much better it looked than it did in the pictures.

Traded an Oursler (BSD) and picked up two more.

That's a tough move. Can't go wrong with 2 for 1 though. Barry O is my favorite designer by far and BSD is a keeper for me.

Traded my World of Nintendo sign for a T2. It hurt a bit to do it, and T2 wasn't exactly atop my want list, but value vs value there just wasn't any way I could turn it down. I'm not looking forward to dragging this heavy B downstairs...

I understand the value of Nintendo stuff, but I think you made the right move.

One or two small wear spots all in the blue. A little bit up around the pops. Overall pretty decent.

Brought two home today.

Owned Transporter since December. It stayed at a friend's house where it was torn down, shopped, and cleaned. Operator hacks reversed. Clearcoated playfield and rebuilt everything.

This is actually my 2nd Doctor Who. Pinsound "metal" theme installed and cranked up. This is a very fast-playing machine with the clearcoated playfield as well.

Not that I ever struggled with it, but not having to leave the house these days will be much easier!

#18145 3 years ago
Quoted from Ballypin:

No, I'm not crazy enough to personally view the other 10 machines as they were in WI, NJ, OH, KY, MO, AL, GA, VA and MI. I am crazy though for being up since 11:00 pm Tuesday night for work and then leaving at 3:00 pm Wednesday to drive 5 hours to Chicago and arrive back home (after a sleep break) at 3:00 am Thursday. I logged about 900 miles between work and play in the past 27 hours.
I played EBD in HS when it came out in '81 and I bought a nice '81 version in 2000 but sold it quickly when I moved into DMD games. The itch for one came back in August and over the course of the past 2 months, I have daily (and hourly) watched the ads on Pinside, FB, Mr Pinball and CL. Every time I thought I had one lined up, the game either already sold or the owner decided not to sell or the condition was too rough.
I REALLY wanted the '81 first run cabinet design but I compromised on this '84 third release. It will cleanup very well.[quoted image]
When I met the seller to get the game, I noticed a 5' x 5' tapestry hanging on the wall featuring Bally Flip Flop, Sky Kings and Big Show (and a couple stinky Gottliebs). It appears to be an image from Japan (?) and is most likely a shower curtain based on the 12 grommets across the top. I planned to buy it from the seller but he graciously threw it in at no charge.[quoted image]

Awesome pick up Ballypin and a very nice addition! I don't think the '84 is all that bad. Unique artwork and more rare I think? Of course I still like the '81 best.

Question: What's your favorite Bally year and favorite of that year?

Quoted from jhupka:

I got myself a Bram Stoker's Dracula today. [quoted image]

Congrats! It is truly a great machine.

I've had mine for nearly 7 years now, as other machines have come and gone.

There were times where moving it crossed my mind but I never could do it. Theres just nothing like it.

Be sure to follow the owners thread. It is a good resource of info.

lesmanley isn't the only one who brought home a Rocket this week - the prettiest game of the 1940's found its way into my collection!
After getting it home, I replaced the fuse holders, cleaned the coil plungers, adjusted a couple of springs and it plays as nice as it looks! Thanks, spacetimeguy !
[quoted image]

Wow! That thing is really cool! Not very common, I bet?

Finally got this title in the collection. Now have 4 of the 5 I played as a teen down the shops.
This one needs heaps of work.
Can’t believe somebody put LEDs in but didn’t clean it. Absolutely filthy. Got straight to work.

Great! With the playfield removed, now you have a place to hide that body on the floor!

#19232 3 years ago
Quoted from Ballypin:

What is the definition of a "Grail Game" ?
A game you have been searching for your entire life ?
If so, I submit you mine: 1965 Bally Band Wagon. Released in March 1965, this was the current Bally pin available when I made my appearance in early April 1965. This example was purchased from the Replay Foundation in Pittsburgh and sports serial number BW 1601. Being # 601 out of 1840 made (33% into production) between March and May, it is quite possible that this Band Wagon and I share the same "birth" date.
When I get around to this restoration, I envision a cabinet repaint and commission a BGresto backglass.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Now that's a definition of grail game! Congrats!
