The Devil your other half?.

Quoted from jewboyflowerhead:

And somebody needs to sell Tracy something, if only to ease my guilt for jokingly hijacking his wtb thread

Wisconsin guy hijacking your Cornhusker thread... Someone sell Tracy a CFTBL so I can bring my Wheel of Fortune to him in a trade

For the first time maybe ever I'm being fairly selective. Really would like to find a pin that sucks like Genesis, Class of 1812 or Wheel of Fortune.

My dad is officially offering waterworld for trade. He is open to anything, and I mean anything (he considers barb wire one of the best pins ever). Condition is not important at all. Would probably prefer a blown out system 11or something of the sort. He paid $1100 for waterworld, and that is what he will sell it for if no trade interest. He just doesnt like the game, which is strange since it is far and away the best game he has owned. Pm with any questions or offers.

My first DMD pin...remember really enjoying it

#57 10 years ago

Any one looking for a Lord of the Rings? It is back on the market and needs to go this time. Below is a photobucket page with pictures as well as a thread I previously started about it. I would sell it outright or traded for a lesser machine plus cash. Machines I am most looking for are WWRR, BSD, FT but my wishlist is quite large.

Remembered 2 other crappy games high on my list - Maverick and Monopoly. I remain determined to fill my empty slot with a game that sucks.

#59 10 years ago

Oh yeah, TF pro has officially been traded for an X-Men pro so you can all stop flooding my inbox with trade offers for it

#60 10 years ago

Just buy adam's LOTR....it falls into your crappy game requirement

I'd love to try a Jackbot too! But I won't pay a penny over $4650.

#64 10 years ago

I found a GTB harbody the other day, non working, I might buy it and re-theme it... or hook up that fat shaker thing BangerJay did at expo... that was a fun one...

#65 10 years ago

Don't retheme it! Ive always wanted wanted of those! Sell it to tracy, that way I can snag it in a couple of weeks after his wife makes him get rid of it

#66 10 years ago

If I sell Scared Stiff then she'll never go into the game room again, problem solved.

Good thinking.. although if I gave it a good late 80s theme like Alf, NKOTB, GWAR, YO! MTV Raps or Saved By The Bell, just think of the resale on it.. I may be able to get me the ACDC pro Ive been eyeing..

#69 10 years ago

Hello, Nebraska Pinballers

So you've had about 10 hours to work on it, is the GWAR pin completed yet, maggot?

Seriously.
GWAR.
do it.

Back on topic - I have a really nice IJ Williams that I would consider trading sometime in the future (family and I are still loving it right now). Not CQ, but nice unfaded cab, great playfield, and previous owner has had it in the home since '95 (supposedly).

Quoted from jitneystand1:

You should check out my Deadly Weapon some time. That game rockets past awful, straight into awesome.

Seriously.GWAR.do it.

Well to do this GWAR appropriately, I would need some foam spikes and some shoulder pads, oh, and some chicken blood or equivalent..

Im leaning towards an MC Hammer theme with a "You cant touch this" multiball....

Quoted from dantebean:

Hey! Maybe you guys remember this arcade in Omaha. Gizmos? I spent many summers in Omaha at an Uncles and that was a childhood arcade (along with the Family Fun Center)

I believe I single handedly kept Westroads GIzmos in operation! Every day I would leave early for work and stop in for just a game or two ... and was late for work every day as well. Rows and row of pins when I went there - it was glorious! When I got a real job elsewhere, Gizmos closed down. Apparently couldn't survive without their primary source of income.
OK, maybe not just me but I like to think that.

Just watched a video, it looks awful. Can't wait to play it

Whenever you are ready to move it be sure to check out my collection and let me know if anything interests you.

Welcome! I don't know if there are any on-site techs available in Lincoln but if you have an issue ask around on Pinside, I am sure there will always be someone to help get things back up and running.

#77 10 years ago

Traveling to Minneapolis tomorrow anyone need a pin going or coming back that way?

#78 10 years ago

Does anyone have a SS for sale here in Nebraska? I'm in Lincoln.
Thanks

Dan owns mobile audio 2 blocks south of 27th and cornhusker highway fixes pin at his store

#80 10 years ago

Hey guys. I'm thinking about picking up a T3 in a month or so. Anybody know of one local going up for sale?

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm currently out of the market for this machine. Thanks.

#81 10 years ago

Anything new going on the block soon? Gonna be 60 degrees the next two days, I'd like to spend one of those moving a pin in

#82 10 years ago

Some of you western Nebraska guys need to start giving up the goods. There is nothing here in Wyoming and I'm sick of driving to Colorado for pins. Might have a JP that I could let go.

#84 10 years ago

I'm interested in getting either a STLE or Williams IJ. I've got a CV, TZ and WOZLE for trade bait.

Discuss.

I do repairs in Lincoln. I work on-site so you don't have to pack up your machine. I keep a stock of most of the common electronic parts.

#89 10 years ago

Other than this post I hadn't really listed my POTC but I'm looking to change things up and putting my POTC HUO as well as my Modded TAF up for sale if anyone is interested or have any pins on my wishlist that I could trade up or down for. PM me for more pix or information.

Bump for tracy. Just a heads up, the $4500 monopoly has dropped in price to $4000

#91 10 years ago

I'm thinking of having another pinball get-together at my house some time in the next few weeks. Just checking to see if there's any interest, and what day works for most.

#96 10 years ago

That would be awesome! I only have two pins and a few arcade machines, so I'd love to see a big collection...

#97 10 years ago

I would be interested in coming over.... THX>

#98 10 years ago

I'd put up my nice Getaway for a Monopoly, World Poker Tour, Fish Tales, Dr. Who, Flintstones, WCS94, Black Rose, BSD, possibly others on my wishlist
