    CPR Playfield Impact on Price?

    I certainly would not undertake a CPR swap with the express purpose of making money. There are many easier ways to "gussy up" a machine if flipping is your game. I would reserve this level of work/expense for something I truly loved. Personally, if I had two machines side by side and one had an...

    SOLD Hit The deck

    Very nice machine! I had the pleasure of playing the add-a-ball version (Neptune) at my home for about a week while I was holding it for a friend from out of town. Very rare bird and beautiful art. The DC coils on this game also make it a lot more snappy than a regular wedghead. I love how...

    CPR Playfield Impact on Price?

    Your current playboy is more than acceptable from what I recall. I don't see the value of the machine spiking by $750 USD by adding a CPR. Adam is bang on. A worn playfield will devalue your game so there is a much larger value gap to bridge with a new repro. I would much rather buy a machine...

    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    Well, this is what happens when you commit to the same game from two different sellers. Quicksilver doesn't exactly grow on trees so I just went ahead and bought both :D Submitted for your approval... QS #2

    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    What he said ^^^ :) I used to avoid classic Stern pins and, after grabbing my first Meteor last year I have gained a newfound respect for most of these pins. They have simple and fun objectives and, while there is usually one scoring strategy that is most lucrative, the scoring opportunities...

    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    Well done Adam! As soon as I saw the ad I knew there would be a million guys trying to lowball this seller to see if he didn't know what he had on his hands. I don't think this guy was running an "auction". If that were the case the machine would probably still be in his hands as he took more...

    The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread

    I sold my Medusa not too long ago. Neat game for sure. Here's another new addition. Just got it on legs and just taking a look at the playfield while I also dealing with some board and transformer issues. Needs a good top-shop but playfield and parts all look pretty tight. It should clean up...

    Recommended Warm LED's for EM?

    I would probably go 47s. They don't burn nearly as hot as the original 44s and, unless you are planning to put the machine on location and leave it on for days on end, I don't see how you would damage the glass in any way. In fact, on most EMs I would only go with an LED in a particular insert...

    Great Games that you sell - Just because it is time

    I fear this discussion more than most :( I've allowed my tastes to expand and, with them, my collection. I must be well over 35 machines by now. My fogginess due to the fact that several of them are projects that are tucked away. I can't lie... Lately I've been asking myself "what would it be...
