Personally, I usually like to know if I should even bother before getting into a car and driving up north. Nobody is going to buy a local machine sight unseen of course. Most of us will make the drive to see it and pick it up... but why waste a trip? I'm really busy all the time and don't feel...

Curly has always been pretty good, but it has been a few years since I've ordered from him. What a lot of people fail to realize is, despite having a website and the appearance of being a bona fide large scale business, most 'companies' that service this hobby are just individuals working out...

I think the seller would get a lot more interest if he had posted at least 6-8 nice photos of the machine (with a few close-ups) instead of the 3 very poor and low detail images that have been on this thread for weeks. I agree that this game should have sold... but sellers still need to try a...

Just wanted to share a small tip. If you have ever purchased certain LED replacement displays... especially the numeric ones used in a lot of Bally/Stern games from the 80's, you might have something that looks a little different from stock. Various providers such as Rottendog or any of the...

Welcome Craig. Not being too picky is always a good place to start... especially when the market for pins has jumped as high as it has. Being flexible will mean you can probably get something playable and reasonably fun... even if it's not on the proverbial 'A-list'. Buy from a reputable seller...

Is that my Spin Out? If so I would use the term "working" very loosely :D I mean, it powered up... Can't really complain though at that price.

Aren't these still readily available for sale? Or is JJP stock limited? http://www.winwithp1ag.com/product/dialed-in-premium-pinball

I bend the heck out of bulb sockets to get access to the bulbs. Don't worry... they won't break (usually :D) If the socket is screwed into the playfield you should also loosen the screw first of course. That will give you more flexibility. I know Bally was doing some weird things during this...

Looks great. Kinda wish I hadn't sold my BSD. It only took a couple of years to convince Brock to help me make this mod :D He's done an awesome job with it and I know how hard they are to make. No disrespect to dnaman, Brock or anyone else here, but it's stuff like this that prevents me from...

Yeah, I've tried this too. If you do call and get a favorable response, make sure to take down the information of the agent you spoke with and where they are stationed. You will invariably run across a different agent at the border and a lot is left up to individual discretion from what I have...

Wow! Wouldn't wanna shop that pin! o_O

I would suggest seeing if the US collector will cross the border with the game and you guys can do the trade on Canadian soil... and here's why. 1) Neither customs officials will give you a pass onthe value of your machine in the 'trade'. Your machine's perceived value will simply be treated as...

I think I paid $800 USD for my C37 but that was a few years ago. My El Dorado ran me $1300 USD also a few years back (dollar close to par and I was even waived through customs :) ) And, I have also had a Jacks Open that was in and around the $1K mark. Atlantis would be above that range too, as...

I've owned Spin Out twice. The first one set me back about $800 in really nice shopped condition and the 2nd one was under $200 but a total project. I still think most wedgeheads are $500-$800. Machines; with a few more desirable titles being the rare exception.

I once saw a 1937 Bally BOOSTER at this auction. It was a beautiful pre-flipper machine worthy of a museum. I had to have it for my office but it ran me $1K+ Certainly not the most cost effective way to buy pins.

Eight Ball all day long! The game is hard for sure, but as long as you focus on hitting the 8 ball target as early as possible, you will light the kickback ball save on the big left outlane. That alone makes the game much more manageable. If you use the kicker, you can re-light it again. The...

Thought I'd post an update and a nice little tip for polishing chrome. I've been working hard to declutter the game room and garage/workshop for some time now. I recently sold my Shadow and Stern Ali to gain space, moved some larger parts/items into storage and just did some overdue spring...

Nice deal. For what it's worth, I have a spare playfield overlay from Ed Cheung that will match this early production playfield... should the new owner want to restore it.

Woohoo! My Spiro-cab collection will soon be the envy of most any man ;) Should post a before pic. This one was especially tired. Thanks again!

Game is sold pending pick-up. Thank you to all those who PM'd about the machine
