Quoted from SergioJ:It’s pretty easy to make one.
Thanks - you’re right it sounds simple enough, I can make one myself. Seems so obvious now haha

Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:...something about royalty and import/export fees I sure you are following the thread on it.
I suggest reaching out to George Vandelay. He is an expert in this field.

Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:Thats a good deal on a Popeye. Wish I was in the market for one, its been through my house twice and is a family favorite. GLWS
Probably where those pesky coin mechs of unknown working condition came from...
Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:You talking about these...How dare you call them Pesky.
Lmao. Autocorrect strikes again! Clearly i meant to type “pristine” coin mechs. I mean, i wish i was closer as those would already be in the back of my truck!!
Anyway back to serious business. Going to be listing my Firepower soon. Players condition, new LED displays, LED’s throughout. corrected all issues and now plays 100%, boards serviced and inline fuses installed as part of my standard William’s bulletproofing. Small wear near the right kicker but nice candidate for a hardtop for those so inclined. Dialed in nicely and i can consistently make the left orbit shot into the top right ball lock. Will be placing ad in marketplace (once i get the pics). Asking $1500 obo.
Shepherdstown, WV

I am about to do something i may regret, but i’ll be listing games that up until recently i planned to keep / restore. I will prob keep my restore items and hunt the base games down again when i have the time to do them.
Marketplace ads will be made once i get all the pics. Or if sold to a pinsider via pm i’ll still donate as always.
Any Sys 11 (or earlier) in my collection with the exception of BK2K (pf swap in progress) and Space Station (on hold for a co-worker) are up for grabs. Funhouse is not a system 11 as some people insist (sorry @jesterfunhouse) and as such is not fs.
All my Sys 11’s are set up and playing, so even though i have a few in the restore queue they are not “projects”. All have power supplies rebuilt, nvram or remote batteries installed and will play as they should before they leave here. Some are LED’d if i bought them that way, or if i did a full shop job on them recently.

Got some ads up today. WW i have a potential buyer for already so the ad will be posted as Sale Pending.
I believe i have responded to all PM’s now. Happy 4th of July!!
Latest of my System 11 liberation in the marketplace.
Will be listing Taxi next, probably get to that tomorrow.
1 week later
After tomorrow i’ll be down to my last System 11 to sell. No turning back now lol.
I will be listing my High Speed in the Marketplace with pics later tomorrow but i do like to offer it here for the local folk first.
This high speed is a very decent player’s condition machine. Playfield is nice, has mylar and presents very well. Art is intact. It is not blown out and wanting to be sanded down and Hard-topped in my opinion. Cab and back glass also decent. I don’t rate these out of 10. Way too subjective. Pictures can do the talking. All displays work with no missing segments.
Most of the work i did on this one was electrical and mechanical. All three flippers rebuilt and slapped some Titans on them. Power supply rebuilt and nvram fitted on the MPU, and while it was out repaired the special solenoid section to bring two dead slings back to life. Corrected some wiring hacks in the cabinet and restored things back to normal. Game now plays 100%.
The big job was restoring the police beacon and associated wiring harness that were completely robbed from the game. sourced all the parts and got it lighting up again; with help from our volunteer Pinside Tech supporters who are still batting 1000 with my help threads 
Game had been recently shopped before i bought it. LEDs in the GI, but incandescents in controlled lamps. I didnt bother to LED those. I personally like them in older games.
Will be asking 1900.
Also some System 11 stuff for the restorers out there.

With all the uncertainty and speculation on the future of pin prices - anyone interested in doin a trade for something i want?
I have my TWD LE still available. Also a BSD, space station (held that for my boss for a year but now he’s moving back home across the pond) nice BK2K, maybe even consider my funhouse. Can add a bit of scratch for the right deal but prefer a multi game swap to keep values close-ish.
BK2K and FH i have new pf’s for if anyone is interested in those games. I can’t seem to find time and have a few other projects/restores in the queue first.
I’d really like a MM or SS, or EHOH as far as sterns go. Wishlist is up to date.
“But Comp - MM and SS are overrated, TWD is the superior game.” Well then you’re the one i’m looking for!
My value proposition is that i will do the drivin. I’m still stuck in a rental after my car lost a bet with a deer. But its an excellent pinhauler
Let me know if you feel like swapping something out.

Really thinking i want to bring in a grail or at least something i‘Ve wanted for a long time. For me its MM or SS (tho i’m torn as EHOH is looking really good). AMH i won’t call a grail but its the only Spooky game i’m missing (Dominoes and Jetsons need not apply).
I’d offer up some titles in a trade deal as i’d prefer not to do 100% cash. I do realize that the subset of people who have want i want AND want what i have is more limited but hey it doesn’t cost me anything to post this lol.
What i’d be willing to part with:
BSD
TWDLE
Space Station
Fun House (Currently un-shopped) is also a possibility. But then I’d have a PF and cab art to sell 
For the right deal i’d also sacrifice my Bally Hokus Pokus in mostly working condition. But your game better be mint. Lmao.
I’d be interested in working out a trade with my TWDLE for other sterns. I like it but the rest of the fam does not. SW, IMDN, MET, LOTR have been on my list.
1 week later
Decided to hunt down a grail or two. The trade posts seem to not be generating much interest so ima gonna sell some titles so i can hunt them old school with cash in hand lol.
Will be listing (as yes i always support pinside):
TWD LE - 6700
BSD - 3500
FH - 3900 (needs shopped)
BK2K - 3200
Space Station - 2100
I have available separately items to restore for some of the above:
Mirco pf set for BK2k. Picked them up for 600 a couple pinfests ago. There is a scratch in the clear on the upper part of the lower pf, which is why it was discounted. However, this I’d completely covered by the upper pf once installed so i felt it was a good deal.
FH - i have cabinet art, and an IPB pf for it. And a cool ticket topper.
Will list this weekend. Pm me for details if you like. Prefer “local” sale and prefer not to ship at this time.
Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:Careful dealing with this guy you just may make a GREAT FRIEND!!! No better guy to deal with on PINSIDE PERIOD...Even if he is from Canada...
Thanks For the kind words Steve. Too many great pinsiders here to claim that title. I definitely was born Canadian though. But i trained myself to say Prah-cess rather than the Pro-cess so i think i blend right in now lol

Space Station has been docked at a new home. Condition Green ($$). But need a lot more to fund that MM lol.
BSD - i’ve gone ahead and installed my coffin mod, and reattached the tombstone / lock lights.
Hope to have my Space Shuttle ready soon as well.
Quoted from Completist:TWD LE - 6700
BSD - 3500 [SOLD]BK2K - 3200
Space Station - 2100 [SOLD]I have available separately (or sold with the game of course):

BSD is now sold. So one step closer to that MM(r?). I decided that i can’t part with my FH so i’m moving it up in the queue to finally restore.
I still have a really nice BK2K and TWD LE on the block. Still interested in trades for MM, EHOH, Scared Stiff or an AMH. If distance is a concern, my “value proposition” is i’d be willing to deliver if its within an hour or so, or meet half way for longer distances (I dunno, maybe 4 hours to the midpoint?).
Damn this thread and its (it’s???) prohibition on posting pics. I have the absolute best Grammar Police badge to flash.
At the very least, this thread has been entertaining whilst i drink my morning coffee

Still looking looking for an Elvira Pin. List above updated with what has been sold.
Adding to this, i have a Seawitch that i finally got to which is up and running and mostly shopped. I will be creating an ad soon but not until i replace some of the drop targets with the correct style. PM me if you are interested.
Other games still available are BK2K and TWD LE. All games get listed (if not already) and pinside fees paid of course.

Just cleaning up the shop and have a couple things left i no longer have games for:
- pinball pimp stencil set for Williams Gorgar. These have been stored flat.
- playfield protector for F14. Never installed
These are the things that i would of sold at a show but then 2020 happened lol.
Have a F-14 playfield protector i never installed in my game (and no longer have it). Was going to sell it at pinfest this year but we all know what happened there...

Anyone have an AMH they are wanting to part with? It’s the only Spooky i don’t own. And yes i am aware of the existence of Dominoes and the Jetsons - i consider those contract games not Spooky releases...
I have in trade a Bally hokus pokus 2 player EM. Its the best EM i have in my collection. It is also the only EM in my collection. Actually i would just sell that to someone who wants to come get it. I figure if POTC’s are 20k, this had to be at least 1500. But i’m only looking for 600 lol.

Anyone local to me want a players condition Bally Hokus Pokus EM? It plays, needs to have some switches adjusted on the score motor switch stacks so its prob not scoring correctly. I have a flipper rebuild kit for it and a set if new rubbers i’ll throw on. Not titans. Thats just crazy talk for this game haha. Just looking to clear out some space in the shop. 550 seems fair for this since the rebuild kit is 50 bones alone lol.
PM me for deets and pics if interested.

Anyone in “close” proximity interested in trading for a ST pro with some of the more sought after (as i understand it anyway) mods for one of my wishlist games?
Really would like an IMDN pro. I’m thinking of collecting Elwin’s games next now that I completed my Spooky collection. Cash added to balance the trade obvs.
PM me if interested. I don’t mind being the chauffeur. I prefer in person deals, and especially when a trade is involved.

Changed from trade ad to for sale. Would still do a trade+ for a wishlist game.

Quoted from ricko62:Anybody have CCr or CCrse+ nearby?
Have a CCr i was gonna list soon but for a straight sale. I see you have a MMr you are looking to trade but i gots one of those.
1 year later
Anyone interested in a trade? My low play CCr SE for a system 11 or two? Looking to get a few back (i miss those little guys). Looking for nice examples of games i don't have to do cab work or pf swaps on:
- Taxi
- Diner
- Whirlwind
- Earthshaker
I don’t know why i sold mine (3 of owned twice ffs). Would do a two for one dealio also. Actually that would be ideal.
Will post a proper add with pics when i get home, i have never skirted pinside fees for those who care. Just posting in this thread as i’m not interested in long distance trades involving shipping.
