1) If you had a Pantone colour chip book you could match the colours and bring the chips to a store. I'd recommend Curry's Art supplies. JP has a very warm red. The store won't have THAT many options so you'll just ave to pick the closest one. If you're re-painting anyway, an exact match isn't...

BR is hard to price. Brock is certainly in the ballpark but I think this title can command that or even a bit more. It's also one of those titles that does extremely well in the US. They seem to go crazy for this pin south of the border. I sold a rough players example for $3700 USD and that was...

No paint? No chimes? No thanks! :p

Super nice Rob! Thanks for posting so many details. Nice option on the vellum. I'm all for an option that's easier to work with than card stock. That stuff kills my fingers. Now that I have a CPR playfield for my Joker Poker I'm thinking the cab needs the same treatment ;)

Almost makes me want XMLE back again. I still think it's such an underrated Stern. There's so much going for it and the colorDMD is gonna be a nice little extra with all the great animations on this pin.

Lots of ambulance chasers out there for sure. Sometimes just looking for a deal to flip unfortunately. Plenty of guys work from home or have flexible schedules and keep cash on hand. They'll even set up a custom script that sends them immediate notifications anytime a pinball machine pops up on...

SPEED, PRICE, CONDITION.... pick two :p Sometimes it's just better to wait. There are few titles that NEVER pop up locally. I've seen just about everything come up at one point or another. Just gotta be ready to pounce.

Ah yes. I remember now. Sorry dude, it's hard to keep track of everyone. I need to take some lessons from Wong in that department ;) I ended up finding a Meteor for sale so I bought that and then decided to put Strange Science up for cash offers too. But, funny enough, before I did, I ended up...

a BIG thanks going out to QuarterGrabber for, not only selling me a super nice Grand Lizard, but also dropping it off on his way through town this weekend. Thanks Ryan! I still haven't found time or space to set it up (probably won't until the long weekend) but super excited to get it on legs!!!

Hmmm. I posted one here for trade a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately I am working on a deal already. It's going to take a week or two to complete due to travel schedules... I doubt anything will happen, but I'll let you know if it falls through. Sorry I didn't notice this sooner.

Congrats Ryan!!! Glad you finally got it.. Of course you should've just bought mine last year and you might have made it to Valinor by now :p Thank you also for the drop-off along the way. Someone asked about the brass rail mod ;) Here's a pic on my old LOTR. It was hand made by some guy on...

This machine passed through my hands for a couple of days. It's just a gorgeous example for an all original game of this era. It's a relatively rare title but I've come across it a couple of times over the last few years and always enjoy playing it. Love how the inserts under the drop targets...

oooooh. I just happened upon this product :) http://www.flipperescue.com/volley.htm

No problem... most of the ones that Scott has owned pass through me as well. A few of us here are big fans of the game. If the game ends up staying with you long term I'm sure one of us could get you some good cab images so you could get some stencils made up. I think twisted pins offers this...

I don't think that's an option. Most Gottlieb single player EMs came in either replay or add-a-ball formats. Volley is a replay (free game). Hopefully you've got it set to 5 ball though. There's a Jones plug usually in the bottom of the cab or under the playfield. You can insert the plug to...

Well, thanks for the free bumps and laughs.... but looks like an HMM in close proximity isn't gonna happen anytime soon.

Agree with this. I've been using a USC for about 3+ years now and I think they work best with a higher percentage of water. I use the exact same degreaser and don't rely on the built-in heater (takes too long). I just fill it with the hottest water I can and maybe 1 cap full of degreaser per...

Bueller?

Even though mine isn't horrible, I've been waiting for thus run for ages!

To be accurate, the chrome finish became impossible to compete with. I mean, I could get them to the same dollar value more or less, but the shipping usually killed the deal. My bext customers were buying a lot at the same type and, because mine were much thinner and lighter, I could pack...
