I was considering getting the Elvis jailhouse rock mod (saw it installed at the VFW)
10 bucks was reasonable. 40 shipping was not.
If someone is doing a large order in the future keep me in mind. I wouldn't mind 2 (different colours) I just can't justify all that shipping on such a small item.
I saw a rapid fire on Detroit CL for $1000.
I remember playing it back in the day.
Itis flipperless.
But is it really a pinball?
Or just an extra large shooting/gun game?
The purist in me says NO (the flipperless era came and left)
I see an NBA for 3300 usd on Pinside. That seems to be in the range.
Elvis I think is damn mear my limit if not over.
I am certainly not in a hurry to call ToPEC or Starburst to pull one off route and pay retail.
I don't mind lurking about waiting for a good deal.
Seemed to work last summer when...
Now that Checkpoint and High Speed are gone its time to look for my next title.
I was hoping to find a Stern (easy to get parts) in the 4-5 K range.
Not a huge fan of toys or crowded pfs.
Top contenders:
NBA
Elvis
Hard to know what is in my range with prices now....
Shoot for a multiball Williams sys 11. High Speed, F14, etc.
Lots of fun and easy to move later when you may want to upgrade.
My HS was error free from day 1. Great solid game.
Didn't fit through my doorways without taking the door off.
I would think the CPR would play faster and look a bit nicer with the lack of the mylar.
Naturally there will be some time to wait to install wgile you are curing any extra layers of clearcoat.
Good pin or not after a while I just tire of them and want something fresh and different.
I myself would rather sell off my older pins to finance a newer one with more modes.
I have come a long way since starting with a free Wizard!
I still miss playing Alien Poker I just don't think I want to...
I played it in Simcoe aswell. I kinda liked the wide open feel and lack of toys.
Of course all the pins on the route that come to BP are beat to hell. Avatar was just nasty.
Have a solid HS that I originally got from ToPEC. This has seen the route at one time. Has some wear but no raised inserts.
Have added the 2 helicopters and also original topper.
The bad: tape on the display as pic. Touched up a ding to the rop right of the head front. Ramp has a crack near/exit...
Sold. For $1500 and picked up today to a Pin Rev member.
Hate to see a machine go but if it provides for a multi mode machine then its a means to an end.
I got my High Speed from ToPEC for $2500 -my trade in (Wizard!).
Game runs great and has never broke down. I swapped out the kickback plunger and added the 2 helicopters and also aquired an original toppers (I don't have headroom for). I also recently noticed a crack at/near the ramp exit amd...
I have a high speed I could part with.
Also have a new member (rockin) interested in my Checkpoint. I could do a package deal for them both if you 2 are near each other.
