Might be one for sale at tg's party in IA in a few weeks...haven't decided yet

It is a very under-rated pin. I love it.

I might be interested as well, depending on if in great condition wLED's? I am trying to find one locally but just might have to check it out.

There is a pretty solid chance you could find a MN pinsider that is going to this party that would be willing to haul TFTC for you if you're able to work out a deal.

The party is in Des Moines. That's quite a haul from Rochester. I think you would be better served to have someone that is going to the party to pick it up for you. Postmaster is going and may have room in his trailer. I don't want to put words into his mouth, but he might be willing to pick it up and deliver it to you for a reasonable charge.

Unfortunately, I am not able to haul anything for you because I don't have a vehicle for it. But, if someone is willing to haul a machine for you, but unable to deliver it for you, you are welcome to have them leave the machine at my place until you are able to come and get it. I would leave it sit in my garage until you can come get it. The garage stays relatively warm in the winter, cetainly above freezing.

The party in Des Moines is from the 24th to the 28th of October.

I can bring it back for you. It was my old machine, and if PB22 does his normal magic to it, it will be a very nice pin. He's a great guy, and you can buy with confidence from him. Keep me posted, if you need me to haul it back.

You might need to arm wrestle The_Gorilla or Jackontherocks for it.

Your wife and daughter like playing my TFTC that much, that you have to go buy one? It is worth owning. Let me know if I need to make room for it.

Man, what is it about TFTC that seems to attract the women? My gf just asked me to hunt one of these down too and I can't get her to play anything. Is it me or does this pin in particular seem to reel in the ladies?

Chicks dig the Cryptkeeper...

I have heard the same thing! My girlfriend did not like it much, but MANY others have told me that ladies seem to love this game ...

Hey Bill- I know you've been busy, but I want to make sure you know that I'm ready to pull the trigger on our deal when you are!

It was my ex's favorite game...She kept it in the split I got another one now

It's far and away my mom's favorite pin. It's practically the only one she ever plays and she plays the heck out of it!

ahh....the shaker.....it's all coming clear now....

I just ordered the shaker for SM. hope to get it before the Pinvatational. If you end up getting this one, I'll haul it for you to the cities for free, as in driving that way anyways.

Tony,

I'm ready also, but I'd like you to play GE before you commit. It's a players game. Like a Moped, sure is fun to ride, you just don't want your friends to see you on it.

That laugh would drive me insane over time...but that's just me...

I will not stand in anyone's way on TFTC. And FYI, when I was traveling to and fro the Mayo Clinic a few years back it was only taking me about 2 hr 40 each way. Granted, I was driving 85 but still...

Started shopping out the TFTC I will be taking to the party, plan on doing a full top side tear down with clean and polish, white rubbers, leds all throughout, new flipper bats and others stuff. Not sure on price depending on what all goes into it but it will be for sale during the party.

I hope someone makes my decision for me, J H. I am going as crazy as you!

Great pin. It is quickly climbing my ratings list.

PB22, can't wait to see it! Take pics during your shop job, and post them. Show everyone else what I already know, the quality of machine/craftsmanship they will be getting from you.

I have heard this a lot about this game as the only drawback but will not know for sure until I own one. On a side note usually most of the pins I play at establishments/bars you can't hear the volume to its max (or its set too low) and music is overpowering in the background. I imagine if I owned a game I would not always have the volume on high and have music in the background which would offset it like how I remember playing them in the past. I guess it would depend on everyone’s mood when they play any game for over a great length in time. Sometimes you want the volume and all the sounds of the game and maybe other times you want to hear other things if that makes any kind of sense.

The laugh actually issas annoying now than when I first got the game. Now i don't really notice it.

The only noise that gets old to me is the chopping sound when waiting to launch the ball. That gets old fast.

The laugh is not annoying at all, especially if you are a fan of the show. It's just ambience.

Great pin.

-___________________________- ...

The laugh can be de-activated by pulling one wire - it's not that hard to eliminate the laugh.

But I heard it deactivates some points as well? Is that True?

I picked up an excellent example at expo.
It just so happens there may be another coming up for sale locally in the metro. A friend may be contacting you

I contacted the owner about the one at the expo but I guess you bought it. I am also looking for a good condition one with LED's.

If it is, we are talking minimal points - like....1000.

I got to see/play it this weekend. The playfield looks really great. I hope you enjoy it!

You bought the one from the expo or the one from Pinballer? Everyone has a TFTC in the state of MN it appears. None on the west coast at all.

I have a very nice one, but im located in Denver. However I can ship it to you for around $200.

Work a deal guys

I got the one from expo.

Alternate translite...very nice! I keep meaning to order one of those to put up on the wall (until I get a machine that is). I keep spending the money on other stuff though...LOL!

Looks extremely in good shape form a distance. I inquired about this one. Hope to join you one day in owning one.

Nice, I guess I'll look at the other one. I know you got a good one as well. Is everyone enjoying the game who bought one?

Yes they are. Mine is in a brighter environment, so it's not as obvious, and actually helps the game stand out.

PM sent please call and see additional details. I think this looks like a great one. From the one posted picture it is only missing any kind of topper which is not a big deal and maybe the LED's installed which is the only other thing I am looking for but could add or talk about you doing them. I started to look at another one in Colorado recently which you might know about as well but seller is not on pinside. Thanks for your post and I hope this works for us.
