    Spiroagnew's SPRAY & PRAY Cabinet Re-Stenciling

    Stencils are cut from a velum-like material and can be reused. Got a lot of mileage out of the Volley ones. The Melody was an exercise in masking, measuring and making extensive notes and drawings...I didn't have any stencils cut for the project save for the stars. The only difference between...

    Spiroagnew's SPRAY & PRAY Cabinet Re-Stenciling

    Drano's GTB Melody I'm particularly proud of this one. Drano lent me this game late last year to put into the long term queue for a repaint. I played the game over the winter, and it is without a doubt one of my favorite wedgeheads Gottlieb ever produced. As this summer came and went, and...

    The Church of the Silverball open house and swap meet: sept 24th

    I think "total bust" is a bit harsh. The vast majority of the pins in the silent auction were rough around the edges (complete projects, really, mostly EMs), with an empty Dr. Who cab, an empty SW:Trilogy cab and an empty Atari head (I believe those were the only empty cabs that were...

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    Asking a bunch of meaningless follow-up questions, requesting pictures, etc, is a sure way to get you lumped in with the rest of the tire kickers on Kijiji--those Kijiji Kowboys that get all hot and bothered when a machine pops up for sale, but won't put their money where their mouth is. Talk...

    Anyone ordering from Pinballlife soon?

    I'll be putting in an order in the next month or so. If you haven't found any other options by then, I'd be happy to tack your items onto my order.

    Spiroagnew's SPRAY & PRAY Cabinet Re-Stenciling

    Goomba's Gottlieb Volley When people ask if I repaint cabinets, I tell them no…I instead tell them I repaint VOLLEY cabinets, as this is the third one I have done in as many months. (For the full story of Canada’s cozy history with Volley, check out...

    Wow! has the market dried up !!!

    Doesn't seem like I was talking about people "off the street" here. I thought we were talking about people who owned games and wanted more games. I think we call them collectors? That's what we are here, no? For those "off the street", in the past two weeks on PBRev alone we've had a...

    Wow! has the market dried up !!!

    If "the market" is some middle-aged man with a pinball machine in his dusty basement he wants gone for $350, then maybe it's a little weak...but "the market" isn't just Kijiji. Too often people think that "deals" can only be had from unwitting sellers; sometimes you are better off buying...

    Wow! has the market dried up !!!

    Alright everyone. Stop buying games. This instant! This guy wants a "deal". Much of the original post rubs me the wrong way. If you are trying to build a collection on chasing ambulances on Kijiji, it's going to be a long process and a losing battle. All of my "deals", and, *gasp*, free...

    SOLD world cup thursday sept 22nd

    Do the tickets come with their original coin box? If so, that coin box better come with the original lid. And that lid better not have any scratches on it. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to knock off a few bucks... Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

    Wrong apron on that Sure Shot. Also, be prepared to spend another $100 if the game doesn't come with a lockdown bar...not sure if one is pictured.

    Mike, will you have any playfield glass available for sale at this event? Can't wait...the GTA has gone far too long without an event like this. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

    Custom Signed Apron Cards

    Not an apron card, but a pretty neat return. I bought a project Hot Doggin from Monkeybag earlier this spring. I loved the game the few times I've played it and its got one of my favorite pinball art packages of all time. I conducted an interview for Credit Dot Pinball with artist Greg Freres...
