So, you're saying this game should be worth $6,375 in today's dollars if it were still NIB? Wonder what a used one goes for then? :D

What are you hoping for in trade? Just curious... value-wise

Epoxy (the 2 part stuff). Clean/sand the edges of the insert and the hole to remove old glue and residue. Then apply the epoxy to both and press into place. Use something flat like a wood block to set it at the right height. Oh.. I guess I should mention that this advice assumes you're...

Another quick update on the Nine Ball playfield. I didn't want to get into a big project wth this game. Everything on it is really nice except for the central playfield wear. I decided to attempt a rather large spot repair; similar to what I had done recently on my Bally Frontier. This consists...

Thanks. I sold away my first Spin Out and couldn't resist this one since it was so inexpensive. I had missed the game. On the surface, it's almost too simple and wide open. In reality, it's punishing and, while collecting the numbers for a special is tempting, playing the rollovers for score is...

It's been a busy Summer so far, but still plugging away on a few projects. I currently have my Nine Ball playfield on the rotisserie getting a small touch-up and clean, but I recently finished up this nice Gottlieb SPIN OUT. I did all th playfield stuff and mechanism clean up and got it working...

Hey Guys, I need this small part (A-8831) Marcos stocks it but it's going to be over $60 by the time I have it shipped (a bit excessive for a $14 part!). I'd rather wait for my next big order. I'm just wrapping up a GTB Spin Out project and the original plate is totally rusted through. If...

I got this lower cab from an early classic Bally in a package deal and don't need it. Looks to be an early MPU AS-2518-35 game like KISS, Star Trek, Supersonic etc... Not as late as games like Centar or Fathom though... although, could be modified. It has wood slide rials instead of metal...

Summer is historically a slow time for pinball sales. I wouldn't read too much into it. As for those STTNG; maybe they just weren't priced correctly. Maybe that title isn't in particularly high demand at the moment... Who knows? Things will always fluctuate. I'm at a stage where I don't...

Cool piece of coin-op history. I'm sure you could contact Clay and he would be very interested in something this unique. The only isse is that he is not known for splashing out big $$$ on games... but you never know. If he's paying in USD then it may be more palatable for him. I'd even reach...

She's come a long way! Figuratively as well as literally. Simply a beautiful game. Good on you for saving it!

It's never bad to have back-up replacements... but usually that makes more sense when you have several games of the same system/type. I keep some Altek and Rottendog products in my stash for a rainy day as they cover a good chunk of my collection. I recently had reset issues on my Shadow and...

I would normally have suggested Bruno (mindstorm) but he seems to have taken a sabbatical from board work for a while. Bruno has been the go-to guy for remote board repair for many Canadian collectors for years. I know Sylvain is also a great tech.. but no idea if he accepts mail-in board...

Agreed! Dino had some glass custom cut for my Stern BIG GAME. it was pretty spectacular. Not sure where he's getting it, but it looked extra clear for some reason :)

If I was starting out now, a pinball machine would be a very big extravagance. On the same scale as maybe a sportscar or motorcycle. It wouldn't be something I would be buying a whole basement of. One... maybe two. I feel somewhat blessed that most modern pins being produced in the last few...

My original post was in jest of course... but there is an element of truth to it. I see a big shift in society with people wanting to simplify, purify and just generally get back to a way of life that is separate from the hi-tech disconnected world we find ourselves in today. Of course, this...

I have one word for you... HIPSTERS!!!

The LE also had shaker (either included or supported). When I did up my HUO standard LOTR I wanted to go for the full LE effect... minus 'hair-dick' of course. I even had Mike CHestnut brass plate me a set of thoe lollipop siderails. It was an interesting process to alter my boards and code to...

Beautiful!!! It looks like it's barely been played.

I'd bet that's the same for more than 90% of us here too. Different things have a way of bringing us back. Pinball, music etc... still as powerful and engaging today as they were back then. Hope you find a nice one.
