Iron Maiden may not be quite as locked up of a deal as a I thought. Still open to all options. Thanks
Thanks Dude.
Apparently California has FIVE Kingpins.... Didn't know we hoarded all the cool stuff here 
Quoted from viperrwk:Mystery Castle - 500
This is a common misconception that started with the ipdb. There were only a little over 200 units made. They are still out there, though. Good luck, train!
Lol no, it's for another buddy on other side of the U.S. But thanks a bunch for checking into that for me Pinmister
There is a Cyclopes in Madison. Only one I have ever seen. I think it is a proto also?
Very cool game.
Quoted from fattrain:Cyclopes & Mystery Castle acquired.... Still looking for others.
Nice job! The one-eyed monster isn't easy to find and is often even harder to find someone who will let it leave!

Justin,
Congrats on the purchases! Please send me the serial number from MC so I can add it to my log book. Thanks!
Quoted from jellikit:The one-eyed monster isn't easy to find
Sounds like a personal problem to me.
Does anyone have an idea what Cyclopes usually sells for? Not that "usually" is something there may be a baseline for, since I'm guessing it doesn't come up for sale often. Great game, IMO, and I'd like to shell out the bucks for one some day, depending.

Bwhahahaha
Quoted from BoJo:Update your title
Title Updated

Me & the seller agreed to keep everything pretty private but if anyone else wants to jump in and throw out pricing from their experiences feel free.
Thanks for the all help pinside! You guys rock!

That's about the fastest turnaround I ever saw on a search for MC. Congrats, train!
Quoted from hlaj78:Sounds like a personal problem to me.
Not to hijack, but I've got a whole Mystery Castle playfield with most things on it in my warehouse.
Came out of a machine an operator dismantled years ago. Pretty good nick from memory.
Seeing this thread reminded me of it. Not a game I've ever played ...
If anyone needs one, send me a pm and I'll dig it out.
Good luck with your search FT!

Thanks bro! I did a lot of digging
It's HOME!
Also got a chance to stop by the lovely pinball ranch in California.
Over 1000 games on the property scattered around.
Not gonna lie, it was pretty awesome!
(Make sure & flick it to HD)
That one looks great! You got one of the speckled versions even. Congrats once again, and please don't forget to send me that serial number.

Awesome video FT, thanks for posting!
1000 games! Crazy!
I went to a private collectors place in Germany last year ... he had 300 machines all set up in a huge barn, all mint and 100%. That was pretty mind blowing too ... made my collection look like crap LOL

Quoted from fattrain:Adding Goin' Nuts ...
One of them is in France, one at the PHoF, one may be owned by George Riley in Ballston Spa and not sure what happened to the fourth one I found a few years back (might be one and the same with GR.)

Thanks for the heads up!
Quoted from Whysnow:Sorry, no more leads provided without finders fee negotiated up front...
lol. Find me a buyer willing to part with some of these other titles and you've got yourself a deal
p.s. You've already got some credit on the books
Yeah, that would be me. It isn't available for sale guys. My buddy M.M. bought the one from George but he isn't selling either, he also resides here in the SFBA. The one in France is owned by my System 80 collector counterpart J-R.K. Tim at the PHoF (as stated), also has one. I don't know where the other Goin' Nut's pinballs are or if they still exist. I don't know the guy that posted pics to the Pinball database or his relation to the pics he posted there.

Actually, there are 6 of the 9 extant Kingpins in California! Yeah, it's an embarrassment of riches in Cali!
I'll send you a PM regarding your search for an IM. Good luck with your search for the rest of these gems...

Wow CF, there's one I don't know about then. Cool!

Quoted from centerflank:Maybe NOW you will make out with me at Expo!
