Completed just under 600 miles yesterday as I made my way to the great state of Indiana. Picked up these two gems and met two great Pinsiders, Kevin (KMS Pinball) and Matt (BillySastard). Both are stand up guys and sure we could have talked pinball for an hour or two, but I had deadlines. 
Don't hesitate to deal with either of these two as they are both great sellers.
Quoted from RonB:No, actually it was a local unadvertised deal. It does have a really nice pf, just need to get it all set up.

That 2nd one is funny shit - only because I go through that montage every 3 weeks or so.
Quoted from dirtbag66:About a year and a half ago I sold three games to fund an ECLE WoZ. One of those games was Twister. I know it gets a lot of crap around these parts, but my son loves it and was devastated when I sold it without him knowing.
Flash forward to today, and I was finally able to make things right with him. Can't wait to see his face when he sees it again!

Nice pick up. Was that the one that was on the Chicago CL?
Quoted from Jayg1981:I picked myself up a nice little project today.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Congrats, but the words "project" and "STTNG" in the same sentence gives me nightmares.
Quoted from Eric_S:I just picked up a Williams Time Fantasy locally, about 8 miles from my home. A couple had it for 20+ years in their basement. It works, needs a skip job and some minor repair work.[quoted image]
Nice pick up! Quirky game, but fun.
Quoted from brenna98:Solar fire has been on my list for a very long time.
If it wasn’t for some good friends, I would have missed this one right in my backyard.
I got right to work fixing the bottom, that’s why the clamps are there.[quoted image]
Nice pick up Dave. I managed to get one not to long. It's a great game.
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Still havent seen the Shadow
Don't listen to the naysayers, it's an entertaining movie. Just don't forget it's a 90's era film based on a 30's/40's pulp hero and it pays to have some background on the character before you watch it.
The movie Darkman was supposed to be The Shadow, but the the film makers couldn't get the rights to the character. That is another entertaining 90's era film.
Quoted from evileye:Have never bought this many pins so close together and I’m sure I never will again, but man, what a rush!
September: X-Men LE Wolverine (Brooklyn, NY)
October: Jurassic Park (DE) (shipped from Michigan)
November: Tron LE (Brooklyn, NY)
All from Pinsiders
The Tron has been my grail since I entered the game. By far the nicest and most ridiculously priced game in my collection.
The JP spent only one year on location and has the scoops to prove it.
X-Men is criminally underrated. Wasn’t on my must have list, but after spending some time with it my mind was changed.
Sadly, on the same day I picked up Tron, I sold my very first pin: Back to the Future. This game was in stellar shape and fully working. I needed the space for the future (pun intended) and my friend has wanted the game for a long time. It was time to let it go. We also struck the deal at 1am and moved it out of my basement right after... this was after moving in Tron and bullshitting for a few hours. In the running for latest sale of 2020?
I hope you enjoyed my little story, as this will be my last acquisition post for a while since I blew my toy budget for a long, long time.

Love the Scott Pilgrim shirt!
Quoted from pkurfess:I just had 3 games arrive today. Shipped from ReplayFX in Pittsburgh. I got No Good Gofers, Cyclone, & Six Million Dollar Man. All work great and are fun to play.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
That's a hike. How did you have them shipped?
Quoted from lowbeau67:This might sound kind of dumb
but I think those quicksilvers and stargazers have no "Pinball Soul" that are made from the meteors and galaxies. They never were in an arcade bar or bowling alley as a quicksilver or stargazer . I love my early ss for their play and how cool to think of all the games played on it and all the places they have been.
Just my goofy way of looking
at things.
I'm currently refurbing a meteor now.
They will never play the same, as they were not factory built. It's more like a clone, copy of an original, but truly not an original. Or a Frankenstein pinball - many different parts made into one.
At the end of the day, we're all dying with very little time ahead of us on this planet, so what does it matter? I want to see someone really do something bold. Take a Dragonfist and convert it into a Meteor. That would make a great thread.
Quoted from gdonovan:After 40 or 50 years in the field the originals dont play like factory built either.
True, but they can be cleaned and brought back to a much better starting point (never as when it left the floor), but much closer than a Frankenstein machine that uses reproduction parts from top to bottom.
It's like building a "33 Hot Rod from Factor Five Racing. Is it a real 1933 Ford? No. It's a new car built to stay as traditional as possible.
Quoted from cottonm4:What do you call a Star Gazer with a repro play field and all of the original parts under the play field were transferred to the new play field? Is it a Frankenstein or a Star Gazer with a repro play field?
A repro PF isn't the same as the original pf. I took my original QS pf and had it restored and cleared. So it isn't exactly factory, but still numbers matching.
Quoted from KSUWildcatFan:I think your summarization of a restored (new playfield, etc) machine as being "Frankenstein" is kinda laughable, but whatever boats your float lol.
Frankenstein being a new pf, galaxy cab, retooled targets/mechs, plastics, new wire harness, new repo backglass, etc. A game with just a new pf I wouldn't call a Frankenstein machine.
Seriously though, if it floats your boat, rock on. We'll be dead in 30 years so it won't matter.
Quoted from LesManley:Doesn't have the original receipt, but I didn't see any shooter lane wear so I am going with undocumented HUO. Has original rubber and incandescent bulbs, I don't even think the original owner knew you could open these up. Best part is no pooling or chipping at the playfield posts!
Not even dimpling on the PF? I heard even the 90's games had horrible dimpling and unfinished code when released.
Quoted from jrpinball:Yeah. One I'll never forget. Got sick on McDonald's burgers during a substantial road trip. To this day, I won't eat pickles on my fast food burgers.
I got sick on a ranch wrap there several years ago. Will never order from them again.
Quoted from gonzo73:Well it's not home yet, but my friend and I picked it up from Banning Wendsday, at least I saved one from going overseas.
My friend is gonna shop it, and we will figure out what if any parts were gonna order and replace.
All in all decent shape, one Grail off the list.
Message from the Freeeek Kingdom.
Ps. The techs at Banning never dusted the tops!
Filthy!

Nice Job.
Still looks like a ton of games there...thought like most of them had to be picked up within 5 days.
Quoted from jrpinball:Captain's Auctions sticker on it. Did you return with all of your appendages intact?
Yeah - but I'm lighter in the wallet no doubt.
PF isn't as good as I could see in the pics, but it's ok. Might pull it and have Cpt Neo do this magic, we'll see.
It's heavy for a Gottlieb wedge head - that is for sure.
Quoted from frisbez: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.
It was sold as well. Went for higher than the Rock Star - so I had to bow out.
Quoted from cottonm4:This. New repro boards make these old pins playable for the masses.
Not always. Any many new boards have issues down the road.
If you need one you need one, but I always get the old repaired first if possible.
