I purchased a Road Show for $400. This was a non-working game but complete. I traded it for a working Indiana Jones, this was by far the best trade I made. My next best trade was I traded a Whitewater for a Twilight Zone. I hope I'll hear some great trades or deals!!
Around 2000 I picked up a funhouse for $150, a couple of Theatre of Magic’s for $700 each.
I also paid $1000 each for a whitewater and a creature from the black lagoon, from someone, else.
Those were the days...
I also fixed up a couple of pins, and someone gave me a black knight.
There was this ad , of a guy selling a mame arcade cabinet for 200 euro , in a town next to my own. I drove there , payed for the cabinet , and as I was about to leave, I noticed a pinball in bad condition in a corner of the room.
When I asked him what was that “ thing “ over there he told me it was a pinball that he intended to fix. After a moment ... he offered it to me for free , sayin he did not have the time and space for it and how preoccupied he was , and how much his fiancé wanted it out of the house !!
After 4 months and a steep learning curve , in electronics , restoration and money given to Marco , I had in my house a beautiful Robo-war that I truly love and got me hooked in pinballs for good !!!
