Welcome Craig. Not being too picky is always a good place to start... especially when the market for pins has jumped as high as it has. Being flexible will mean you can probably get something playable and reasonably fun... even if it's not on the proverbial 'A-list'. Buy from a reputable seller...

Is that my Spin Out? If so I would use the term "working" very loosely :D I mean, it powered up... Can't really complain though at that price.

Aren't these still readily available for sale? Or is JJP stock limited? http://www.winwithp1ag.com/product/dialed-in-premium-pinball

I bend the heck out of bulb sockets to get access to the bulbs. Don't worry... they won't break (usually :D) If the socket is screwed into the playfield you should also loosen the screw first of course. That will give you more flexibility. I know Bally was doing some weird things during this...

Looks great. Kinda wish I hadn't sold my BSD. It only took a couple of years to convince Brock to help me make this mod :D He's done an awesome job with it and I know how hard they are to make. No disrespect to dnaman, Brock or anyone else here, but it's stuff like this that prevents me from...

Yeah, I've tried this too. If you do call and get a favorable response, make sure to take down the information of the agent you spoke with and where they are stationed. You will invariably run across a different agent at the border and a lot is left up to individual discretion from what I have...

Wow! Wouldn't wanna shop that pin! o_O

I would suggest seeing if the US collector will cross the border with the game and you guys can do the trade on Canadian soil... and here's why. 1) Neither customs officials will give you a pass onthe value of your machine in the 'trade'. Your machine's perceived value will simply be treated as...

I think I paid $800 USD for my C37 but that was a few years ago. My El Dorado ran me $1300 USD also a few years back (dollar close to par and I was even waived through customs :) ) And, I have also had a Jacks Open that was in and around the $1K mark. Atlantis would be above that range too, as...

I've owned Spin Out twice. The first one set me back about $800 in really nice shopped condition and the 2nd one was under $200 but a total project. I still think most wedgeheads are $500-$800. Machines; with a few more desirable titles being the rare exception.

I once saw a 1937 Bally BOOSTER at this auction. It was a beautiful pre-flipper machine worthy of a museum. I had to have it for my office but it ran me $1K+ Certainly not the most cost effective way to buy pins.

Eight Ball all day long! The game is hard for sure, but as long as you focus on hitting the 8 ball target as early as possible, you will light the kickback ball save on the big left outlane. That alone makes the game much more manageable. If you use the kicker, you can re-light it again. The...

Thought I'd post an update and a nice little tip for polishing chrome. I've been working hard to declutter the game room and garage/workshop for some time now. I recently sold my Shadow and Stern Ali to gain space, moved some larger parts/items into storage and just did some overdue spring...

Nice deal. For what it's worth, I have a spare playfield overlay from Ed Cheung that will match this early production playfield... should the new owner want to restore it.

Woohoo! My Spiro-cab collection will soon be the envy of most any man ;) Should post a before pic. This one was especially tired. Thanks again!

Game is sold pending pick-up. Thank you to all those who PM'd about the machine

Updated thread to include purchase price. I've calculated roughly $2500-$3000 in extras, upgrades and new parts on this machine not including the time and labour involved, so I'm asking $6500 or equivalent in trade. Also, I've since added a brand new sheet of glass. I noticed the original was...

So, I've had some interesting offers on the game but nothing that has really made me jump out of my seat yet. I guess the Godzilla owners out there aren't budging :D If nothing materializes by the weekend I'll probably stick a cash price on the game and see what happens. Looking around my...

Wow.. Those look great!

Finally had a chance to watch this. Great peace of coin-op history right there! Love that you ended up (by surprise) with a one of a kind showpiece. Thanks for sharing!
