Hard to gauge condition with the game lighting turned on like that, but I don't think $2700 is too far out of line when some older classic Bally are selling for over $3 to $4K. I don't know much about the game's rules and 'lastability'; have only played it a handful of times at shows... but it...

Pinball... It's a hell of a drug!

No worries. And Doug is correct. If the game has cycled back to factory settings, you may want to select the music option that plays all sounds. It's amazing that they would make these things options yet, if you get a high score and enter your initials, they don't actually get saved or...

Yes, there was some "extra" wiring under that playfield. As far as I could figure out, it looked like someone wanted to run some extra GI to a few places so that tapped in and added some bulbs. It's been a while so I don't recall what I did, but I thought I removed the extra sockets but may have...

Neat game! I used to want one of these so bad... but space is not my friend. I do know of a project machine but the seller is not motivated and I would rather buy from medvet anyway ;) Good luck! go go go! BTW. Did anyone ever repro the original prototype Balligator plastic? The upper plastic...

Thanks Guys... it all seems to happen right around the months leading up to Allentown. It's a bit scary. Just got another PM regarding a FATHOM :eek::eek::eek: Yikes!

Well, looks like I may have a deal in place for a BIG GAME in Allentown. A lot can happen between now and then but, in the last 48hrs I've also had some uncanny luck. First, I found a Stern NINE BALL, then I got offered a very nice GENESIS. With these two games crossed off the list and a very...

It's in an unmarked industrial complex and not open to the general public.... so pretty easy to miss.

The beauty of the hobby is that you don't really need to choose THAT wisely. As long as you don't buy a complete dog, there is almost always a buyer out there for every machine. So, if/when you get tired of the first game, just sell or trade it and get something else. It's one of the few (maybe...

There's new code for Frontier?? :confused:

A couple of games on my list are harder to find, but a couple are not that bad. If you find me a lead on any of these games and the seller isn't interested in a trade, then I would consider a cash sale. It's a pretty cool machine for sure and I like the theme. It feels like a Bally Eight...

I didn't miss it. I was 2nd in line behind Adam and the seller was hoping to create a bidding war. I did not participate. I already have a potential deal on a very nice Big Game if I bring it to Allentown but I'd prefer a local deal.

Hi Everyone, I got this 1980 Bally FRONTIER in a trade last year. I know people go crazy for this title... but it just isn't for me. Considering how rare and collectible these are, I am NOT looking for cash on this one. Instead, I'm hoping I can use it to shake loose something on my short...

Figured I should post a resolution to this thread. I finally solved the problem today. Unfortunately clay's guides don't offer too much info on repairing system 9 sound problems. In fact it's grouped in together with system 11 and covers just over 20 lines of text. The steps include: -testing...

Keep in mind that Nick is as close to being "retail" is it gets... without having a bricks and mortar operation. His evaluation would likley reflect retail pricing. I know squat about vids, but I do respect Steve's opinion on this topic. So the question is more whether you're looking to...

Clay's place is just that, Clay's place. It's a large building (former veteran's association building) and it's filled with tons of games... mostly in good shape and many very rare and unique. Attendance is limited so it never gets too crowded. However, it's in the middle of nowhere and there...

I'm going to approach this from the point of view of someone who has no machines (starting from scratch) because, what I would buy today with $10K is highly influenced by what I've already got. First of all, I'd spread it around and try to get some variety because it sucks playing the same type...

I recently sold mine, but I also had the pleasure of owning it for almost 8 years. It was a staple in the lineup and loved by pinheads and regular folk alike. Now, if you ask me today, I'd say put the money into 2-3 other games with some nice variety... but it's easy for me to say that since...

I wouldn't expect a huge drop in price for a 1 month old game. I'd be happy to save the tax in most cases. I think 'some' mods may add value, but not others. That's a personal thing. If someone put sliding playfield supports on a Stern pro instead of those dumb pegs, I'd be overjoyed. Same for...

Ahhh. I assumed you were referring to Drew's habit of losing interest in games after 24hrs
