Re: Gottlieb Black Hole for sale - Mississauga Weekend bump ;)

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=217&p=1674&hilit=120#p1674 What specific games? Different manufacturers require different methods. This topic comes up every time a new container is about to arrive. Is there anyway we can make the original post sticky? Maybe add in some additional info for games like...

Well, that's good news! So 6 spots left. Come on guys... I want my TOTAN! :lol:

Oh yeah, I just got my BH controlled lamps to come back on after scratching my head for about a day. Seems I need glasses because it was just a broken solder connection at the bridge rectifier. All good now ;)

Stern is great! I had a minor but troublesome issue with my large TRON insert by the left standup targets appearing to be slightly raised and the edge almosts tarting to chip. This insert shouldn't even be visible as it's blended into the art/clearcoat. They had to wait for the 2nd run of games...

I'm pretty sure the main list at the top is being constantly updated with any changes and any games being bought or spoken for being removed.

It's going to be hard to fill a container this way :( And we were just 4 spots away.

I think the best advice I've seen is to make a few friends and go out and see some private collections in your area. Starting out on your own as a noob buyer can only get you in trouble. Pinheads are notoriously hospitable (most of them anyway :) ) I'd invite you to come check out my collection...

Re: Gottlieb Black Hole for sale - Mississauga I've had a couple of people comment on the crackled appearance of the playfields. Just wanted to let everyone know that there is no planking or physical damage to the wood. What you're seeing is fine cracks that sometimes occur to the...

Bummer :( Good luck.

Welcome to PREV... and to pinball! ;) Conventional wisdom states that you should get a fully functional machine rather than a project. It's impossible to learn when your only machine won't even boot up. At your price point options get a bit thin, but they do exist. Depending what era of...

Sounds like you should call that shop in Stittsville :)

love me a nice driver :) Hmmm. tempting

I agree. It looks like a good flowing fast game without too much to slow you down.

Ahhh yes! That's the Catapult Slam! Very satisfying when you nail it in there just right. One of the toughest shots IMO.

So... how many spots left Gerry?

Re: TSPP upper flipper control (very cool mod) This is a smart mod. I often wonder why games had upper playfield flippers operating whith no ball up there. A total drain on power and more wear and tear . I think my Zaccaria Farfalla from the 80's already did this 30 years ago :lol:

What other shops have you tried? Just a quick search yielded quite a few glass shops in Ottawa. I think if you discuss a bulk buy with them (as Mike suggets), you should be able to get closer to $50 or less.

TAF has the most awesome "clunk" when you nail a direct shot into the vault after opening the bookcase. It's gold Jerry!

Re: Gottlieb Black Hole for sale - Mississauga Thanks Scott. It's a great player pin as-is, or an awesome candidate for a full restoration. I hope it goes to a good home. A couple of interested parties so far coming to look at it.
