Hey pinball people!
A few weeks ago Wong and I were chatting and he sent me a pinside thread that was discussing the really nasty sound all WPC games make from the speakers when the games are turned off. Mike said that all his WPC games do this but his Creech was particularly bad and it was...
Insert ghosting... on some WPC games the lamp matrix has trouble keeping LED's turned off as the code was written for incandescent bulbs. There is a patch you can apply to these WPC ROM's to update the lamp matrix code to eliminate this issue.

It's literally 2 mins away from me here at my work. I sent an email with my phone#, but no reply. My guess is their Inbox is flooded with offers over $500 already.

I have a documented HUO copy of this game and it's flawless, and I am contemplating letting it go. I guess this confirms my 10K+ price won't be out of line. :)

I have a handful in my parts stash, but I'll need to re-order soon. Starburst is pretty much your only local source if you don't want to order from the US unfortunately.

Get LOTS of detailed pictures. Have him crate the game really well. Make sure there is enough insurance added to the shipment to cover any damage / total loss. There was a recent incident involving a AC/DC BIBLE that was written off when the carrier transporting the game rolled the truck...
I've had the pleasure of knowing and dealing with Mike for 10 years. I'm still in shock that he's no longer with us, and my thoughts are with his family and friends. Truly one of the great people in this hobby.

It's amazing... that realtor sounds like so many pinball flippers it's uncanny! They will do / say whatever just to coax you into finishing the deal. Glad you asked all the right questions before signing on the dotted line!

As Mike said, it was a great doc and there were a LOT of local collectors / players in attendance last night which was great to see. Had a chance to chat with Robert and his Dad Maurizio and the film makers afterwards. Robert even signed a few movie posters for a few of us.
