Excitement turned to tragedy later when I shattered the backglass getting it out of my car. Hopefully BGResto can save me.

It was nice enough. Total bonehead move on my part. Going to be an expensive mistake. Guess I'll have to make the rest of the game nice enough to deserve a new backglass.

You seem more like a Blues guy to me.

There was definitely a Blue Note at INDISC one year. I guess it wasn't actually owned by the museum or was sold before the auction?

I remember playing the Rock Star that year trying to figure out the scoring to take with me over to Blue Note in the tournament.

Made time during a busy weekend of prepping games for the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show to sneak up just north of the border for a pretty rare bird.

Both my first 60s game and first zipper flipper.

Cabinet is very rough but the playfield is in great shape.

Hard to tell probably but the game is a Bally Surfers

Playfield is very nice. A little bit of kickout wear near the top saucer and some wear around the pops but otherwise really nice for 56 years old. Unfortunately the backglass is toast

That will be a good birthday present!

Rare bird! 9 hours one way but I wasn't going to miss this one for a nice price.

Dark and stormy night for this rare tentacle monster.

Playfield looks to be in great shape but will need to be fully repopulated.

Last pickup of 2023 was a good one!

Little bit of work to do on it but it is playing nicely.
