The pin I've never played and wanted the most! Thanks to Davewtf and The Gorilla for pointing out the eBay auction to me.

B_R it's in your neck of the woods. I could maybe transport a pin for you if there's something you want for the chance to check out your awesome game room over a few beers. I'm going to get it around the 1st of August.

Wow, and for $1500, too! I am thrilled for you!

#3 12 years ago

Yeah, considering I was willing to pay up to 2k I'm pretty happy. Time to go celebrate!

You know you should have him pick it up. There is NO way he could resist fixing it up a little while it's waiting there!

Conrats on the pick up!. Fun game, great price - you'll have fun with it. A solid Nordman design.

Are you kidding? B_R would put LED's in it, sell it off for a BSD, sell that off for a POTC and probably have a totally different pin than that when GFLM got there. Just joking!

I500 for$1500?

I'd do that too, there's one on route nearby that I play. Really fun game with satisfying shots. The only problem with the route game is the tilt is way too tight. I'd like to play a well-tuned one. Enjoy

This game looks fun! Congrats on your new pin and good luck with the wait.

Sweet pickup GF, your collection is growing REAL fast!

GoneFishinLvMsg if you need to make room I'd be happy to take the Dr. Who off your hands.

Grats on getting I500. A truly underappreciated game (I should post up a review of it soon)!

#15 12 years ago

Once you get it all shopped out and looking spiffy, Zach's awesome custom cards are the perfect finishing touch ...

Not a chance! DW is still my favorite! My daughter likes it too now that she knows how to get multiball. If I had every game at home I think my game room would be full, but then there's always the dining room!

Looks like it needs a good cleaning and the B_R ramp polish treatment.

Hey I had to throw it out there I also love that pin it's so fun to play. Congrats on finally picking up a I-500.

People from all walks of life love Dr Who, gonefishinlvmsg (even if they have never seen the show). They have one yearly at the pinball shows. You will never see one without a person on it. The raising playfield and sounds instantly attract people over.
