Hi Dolly EM (Gottleib) *No...
I received some new springs for my High Speed from Playdium.
I love the fast UPS shipping. (especially when it's within the country and no brokerage...)
I had a spare flipper spring but had put in the the kickback mech as it was really weak. When the top right flipper spring broke on the weekend...
I had the maintenance guys at work cut me a new clear piece for my Atlantis for the drop target bank. I only had to countersink the holes due to the thickness. free is free after all.
The maintenance department calls this 'government work'....
I went to my local auction house for a sale this weekend. They had a few game room items.
Price listed is the final bid: + HST + buyers premium 10% (15% if online)
Gottlieb Surf Champ (it appeared to be working well with a few burnt out bulbs and requiring some good cleaning, nice cabinet and a...
FYI
It's been over a month and still no reply from ToPEC. (I have sent reminder e-mails)
Is it just me?
Maybe a in person visit is required?
Maybe they have to see the cash?
I was working on a machine a few weeks back and the owner had a mame/multicade with a bunch of games 4000+ (mame, atari2600, sega saturn, etc)
So I asked if he would load up robotron....
Looks as if whomever configured his mame didn't realize robotron is a 2 stick game and it didn't play at all...
I recently did some work on my High speed kickback assembly.
I figured what the heck, why not just get a rebuild kit like a flipper kit.
Seems that I can get the coil, switch and the plunger.. But the proper spring..... no dice (at least by PBR)
I swapped out the weak looking spring with a spare...
I was checking a persons EM on the weekend and he had a Allied Leisure Rock On.
Thank god it was working as I hear they are very hard to get parts for.
I have not seen too many non major label machines.
Too bad they couldn't have got better licensing as I did see a fake Jimmie Walker...
A friend of my brother-in-law has a High Hand that I took a look at on the weekend.
WOW, it sure isn't my old Bally Wizard but I figured how different can a Gottleib EM be...
Anyways, I open up the machine and right away I spot some plastic coated wire spliced in at the back on one of the...
Re: RIP AC/DC? :(
So if they don't end up getting back together does that make the value of an AC/DC machine go down?
It can't be between the Stones and Metallica anymore, just move it over there in the corner next to Elvis....
I am looking for a nice 8+ original Alien Poker. Much like the one listed in December on kijijii
I would also consider a modded multi-ball version (that may be more played because who's gonna try modding a nice PF) if someone out there has one for sale.
I am currently awaiting a quote from ToPEC...
Shackelton Auction Sat. May 3/14 9am (London, Ontario area)
Gottlieb Surf Champ 4 player EM
The posted pics don't do enough to show the condition.
It may be worth a trip for me to check it out as I am in the area.
I recently freed up some space and I am in the market for a Alien Poker. I do recall there was a really nice one on Kijijii around x-mas and I am looking for either a really nice 8+ original machine or a lesser machine with the multi-ball mod I have seen online installed.
I know that ToPEC has...
Today I got a line on my next project...
One of my brother-in-laws buddies has a problem with his EM during the start-up sequence. my first pin was a Bally wizard! one of my friends gave me. It took a ton of cleaning and adjusting but it was up and playing in no time. (I already supplied the guy...
Auction listing for Woodie Woodchucks is now available.
I see only one pinball machine: Extreme Striker
Also a star wars trilogy arcade. I wonder if it has any value as it has the Star Wars reference....
I know I saw at least 2 in storage at a local pinball seller. I would prefer a really nice one that is original. BUT if the machine is not great the multi ball mod would at least provide a machine that is at least unique until CPR (or someone like them) releases new playfields, etc. Still, the...
International Center auction this weekend has a Teminator 2 (Lot 165) and a EM Super Soccer ( Lot 166) Plus 2 driving games and a silent scope. I could swear I saw that EM at the auction (locally in Lyons with a Strange Science) a few months ago so beware the shills.
I have been in the market for an alien Poker for a while. Finally made some room and am ready to proceed.
I don't have a Mr. Pinball price guide so I was wondering what the machines book value may be.
I have seen a few recent machines on kijijii
In December there was a really nice looking one...
