Just looking for another pinball and wanted to know what out there locally.. I've got a Funhouse for sale, but I am actually looking to trade it towards a TOM

#7 10 years ago
Quoted from huo:

Would love a Funhouse. Ive got A nice clear coated Addams Family for trade or cash.

Yeah I've got a nice FH... TAF is a great game too...

#8 10 years ago
Quoted from SJJ:

I have a White Water listed on craigslist in Toledo Ohio, although I live in Michigan just across the state line from Ohio. The following is a link to some photos. http://s804.photobucket.com/user/charliemissyou/library/

Yeah I saw that game it looks very nice.. GLWS! You interested in any trades?

#13 10 years ago
Quoted from ElectricCircuit:

Choggard you're actually in luck if you can sell the Funhouse quickly; mike at shark club has a TOM just posted for 5200. detroit.craigslist.org link

Yeah I saw that he emailed me on it.. Someone needs to make me an offer and I might let it go to get my wife her TOM.. Asking $4,500..

#15 10 years ago
Quoted from CraZ4Pin:

Mine is actually in every bit as good of shape as Mike's and I have a few more mods (already offered to Choggard at $5200)

@Tim- I am just waiting until I sell my FH, before I buy yours.. You weren't supposed to tell everyone on here..lol damn..

#28 10 years ago
Quoted from SilverBallz:

if you value your "players" Funhouse at $4500, i think i'd have to place a value of $8000 on my TOM to make a trade work out. You interested?
http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/fs-funhouse-4499-flint-michigan

I wouldn't go that far with an $8K value, but if you are seriously interested in trading for a FH. Let me know..

#29 10 years ago
Quoted from tamoore:

I have a NBA Fastbreak I'll let go for $3200....

Deal.... When can I pick it up?!!lol

#31 10 years ago
Quoted from tamoore:

Hey... How come your outrageous prices are serious, but mine are a joke?

My outrageous prices? What are you talking about?!! Every machine I've put up on here has sold. Just like you said last time we talked. We all value machines differently.. Funhouse is a great machine and I would value it up there with a TOM any day. Didn't you trade your FH for a Dark Knight or something?

#33 10 years ago

I've also got a Taxi I'll be selling soon if anyone is interested.. PM me for details

#55 10 years ago

IceCreamMan has a Diner he's looking to move, I think....

No he's not ready to move it yet, I already asked him..

#143 10 years ago
Quoted from silver_spinner:

MICHIGAN.
have a nice Shadow in my living room. within the past year= fully rebuilt flippers, upper playfield stepped up coil for kicker paddle, stronger springs on drops...really beefed up. ultimate coin takers led kit (not the bright leds that kill your eyes), coin takers color changing flipper button kit, cabinet leg protectors, shopped always. super bands clear post rubber, SB flipper rubber, all new other rubber and a host of other things. the same Shadow that won best in show at pinball at the zoo in 2013 and was at PIN Wars III. fast super sweet playing game. cabinet basically flawless. playfield had only very minor sanctum wear, decal applied over that. one insert had wear and previous owner applied overlay to that. new playfield glass and more. no credit dots, no issues with anything. i put it up against any HUO Shadow or any restored Shadow esp when it comes to playing. its tweaked to play more than tournament worthy. ive played shadows at tons of shows, many many tournaments galore and none come close as far as playing to this. $3800 is the price take it or leave it. yes we can pack and pallet if need shipped. I hate to step on peoples machines but i see so many that are restored and look nice and people drool over them, but they play clunky, flippers not aligned, kick outs weak and sloppy, switches not gapped correctly, etc. looks are one thing, its how a game actually plays is what should be priority. usually (but not always) only a professional player or team of pro players can actually have a correct playing machine. how can a non good-pro player properly even test a machine? its like having someone build a race car and not have a professional driver test it. So sell it based on looks...lol

Sounds like a nice game.. GLWS! Wish I had something to trade for it..

#149 10 years ago
Quoted from GravitaR:

Choggard picked up a nice $1250 Kiss machine today. Congrats!!

Thanks - It's very nice with a new playfield installed on it, but I didn't get it that cheap and the strange thing is it has a piece of metal covering the whole underside of cab. When looking inside the cabinet I don't see any damage or holes so I am going to remove it and see whats going on underneath it. I may have to rebuild the under side of the cabinet.

#152 10 years ago
Quoted from vid1900:

That is called a Ghetto Plate, simply keeps people from breaking through the fibercrapâ„¢ bottom panel.
Don't remove it. If there was any damage, you would have seen it under the coin collection bin.

Some of the nails are coming out on the sides. I just don't like the look of it...

#153 10 years ago
Quoted from vid1900:

Why shouldn't I remove it?

#155 10 years ago

As you can see on my KISS machine I bought, some of the plastics are broken. When I pointed that out to the owner he said that he knew that and wanted to keep everything else original on the machine. . I am thinking that I'll replace all the cracked plastics on it with new ones. Also one of the drop targets was broken on it and I just ordered a new one last week so hopefully I'll have that fixed as well.

Thinking about restoring the cabinet artwork too. Have any of you guys bought decal stencils before? I've gotta believe this KISS machine would be a good beginner machine for me.. The artwork is very simple on this machine and seems like it would be a good one for me to try it out.. Any thoughts?

#159 10 years ago

Pinsider named Electric Circuit has a nice Taxi for sale right now..

#161 10 years ago

Replacing drop targets on Kiss and they're pissing me off.. Can't get the tension just right on the springs..

#166 10 years ago
Quoted from Underspin:

It appears as if the Space Invaders I had listed here is sold. $750. That's the good news.
The bad news is an ice dam built up on my roof and water came pouring down the inside of one of my walls and destroyed it. I'm guessing $1000 in damage for a net loss of -$250
I love pinball
I hate ice dams

Mine is doing that right now, but lucky it's just going down the outside of my chimney.. Running behind the soffit down the chimney wall if that makes any sense..

#170 10 years ago
Quoted from vid1900:

Do you have the correct targets?
Just because they have a bulls-eye or kiss faces, does not mean that it's the part for your target cage.
Hold them next to each other and make EXACTLY sure.

Yes the targets look almost identical, but the old springs are too weak to pull them forward to hook on to stand up.. I bought new springs but they are too tight and the coil doesn't have enough power to reset them. When I do it by hand they hook perfectly. I am trying to stretch the springs to get just the right amount of tension on them.. Does anyone know what size spring goes on them? The new springs are 9/16" X 2"

image-310.jpgimage-310.jpg
#172 10 years ago

Drop targets seem to be fixed I went up a size on the springs and now the seem to be working fine..

#174 10 years ago
Quoted from silver_spinner:

thats always funny when someone installs a new playfield yet puts physically broken pop bumper caps, targets, plastics, tore up spinners, lane guides back on the game instead of getting new everything. now im not so mad you tricked the buyer into selling it to you instead of me..lol

I know the buyer said he didn't want anything else changed on it. I've order new caps, sling shots, drop targets and the third player display isn't working on it.. I am trying to figure out if it's gas out or just a connector issue. Got any Bally displays laying around that you want to sell me?

#175 10 years ago

Just finished putting new drop targets in..

CHOGGARD- i have tons of bally displays. "NO SOUP FOR YOU" thow...lol

Aw man I should of asked you.. I did find one online for it. Now I am just looking for a Bally speaker grill. Do you have one of those?

#201 10 years ago

Besides Silver Spinner my kids and I put about $50 into your machines the other day. I practically paid you already for that display.. lol starting to like that Metallica game of yours..

#207 10 years ago

I've got a nice Phatom of the Opera I might trade or sell to someone local..

#209 10 years ago
Quoted from CraZ4Pin:

Huh?? Did you just pick this up off of the Flint Craigslist?? Please tell me no.

No, this is a different one that I've had for awhile..

#211 10 years ago
Quoted from CraZ4Pin:

That's crazy because usually it's a game that doesn't come up very often and it is now the 3rd one right here in mid-Michigan in 1 month.
So do you have pics somewhere? I'd like to see the quality of the PF ...

PM email and I'll send you some.. Three the only one I saw for sale was Andrews recently..

Looking for a BOP, if anyone has one they are bringing to PATZ for sale. I'm interested.

Great game I'll probably never sell mine..

#226 10 years ago
Quoted from silver_spinner:

choggard- go play Metallica with the newest 1.51 code. great changes to the game, turning out to be one of sterns best. very very deep now. @ richfield bowl. BTW- mini me has a TOM now. its getting a full blown restore. its pretty clean as it is, but we are gonna take it to the limit.

He got a TOM, that's awesome good for him.. Yeah I'll have to stop in and put a few bucks into Metallica soon..

#231 10 years ago

Quoted from usandthem:

Just saw your pics in the marketplace. Seems very, very nice. I don't have much time on this one. I think I remember that The Arcade has one. I should give it a whirl. I love to "discover" "new" (to me) games.

Yeah it's in very nice shape, if you want to see it let me know.. Cabinet reds and blue are still very bright with little fade to none.. Just reduced the price on it..

I am looking for a Tron or SM right now.. I've got a few games I would trade for it if anyone is interested.. BR, BK2000, F14, and HUO Pinbot..

#276 10 years ago
Quoted from CraZ4Pin:

Sending my Johnny Mnemonic to MPE ... it will be for sale there. Playfield is in fantastic shape and everything working 100%. The cabinet has a little fade on the left side and front but really is in nice shape (no big scratches or gouges or anything.) I think I'll put a sign on it for $2500 (but I'm fine at $2200.) If it doesn't sell there no big deal, I just thought I'd free up a spot in my gameroom for something new. Super fun game though!

Just saw your game off sitting against the wall at MPE.. Is there something wrong with it or did it sell?

#277 10 years ago
Quoted from Juggernaut:

anyone selling a black hole @ PATZ?

FYI-There's one on CL right now for $1k, under northern Michigan.

#281 10 years ago

I've also got a BK2000 I am selling.. 100% LEDs Cabinet is real nice and reds are bright on it.. Cracked slingshots that I've been meaning to replace but haven't yet.. Mylar has typical bubbling going on, but the playfield is in great shape.. One wear spot by the manga save area.. Mod added is the diamond plated insides which looks pretty sweet IMO on this game.. I used Rocks idea from my T2..

Have a TX buyer committed that wants to pay for shipping, but I'd prefer local. Might be last call.

Looks like a better than average SST from the pictures. Great price! I am really surprised it hasn't sold yet..

#286 10 years ago

This is my T2 with the diamond plating which isn't for sale.. It just makes the game look better IMO.. I've already ordered a few more mods for my T2.. Love this game!

Quoted from Collin:

I can't tell you where exactly the lines are drawn, but I CAN tell you that Choggard has ripped off several people here, and that makes him despicable in my book.
I've heard from people close to that particular deal that Clay wouldn't have given Choggard the deal he did if he'd known the game was going to get flipped immediately.

Not true... Collin you've always bashed me on here for no reason. I've never even met or talked with you in person.
