    SOLD 1933 Mills Extraordinary 5c Antique Slot Machine (Working).

    Although I'm primarily looking for some cash to pay for my first NIB pin, I will always consider a trade for a pinball machine. Also I am preparing a collection of a Jennings Chief, another antique Mills, an antique Pace (the Mills and Pace are currently jammed, but I intended to have a look at...

    SOLD 1933 Mills Extraordinary 5c Antique Slot Machine (Working).

    SOLD Pending Pickup, thank you for looking! (I have a couple more that I am working on and will be putting up for sale soon, these will be slightly newer models but still mechanical antiques from the 40's I think.) I am divesting my antique slot machine collection and this is the first one...

    FS New P-Roc Rev 1 with WPC and WPC-95 Mounting Boards

    Sorry, there was a typo, it is Brand New UNUSED (not used), in antistatic bag, and includes 2 mounting plates and USB programming cable. If you can find out the price of the System-11 interface (is it a display driver board), PM me, I can be negotiable to help you recover some of its cost if...

    Black Rose Davey Jones Ramp not seating on playfield

    We're not that far apart. I peaked about 10 years ago at 16 pins when I could buy pins like this for around $1000 (when I started I think TAF was $3k ish and that was too much! but more power to the guys that got them). Unfortunately I've sold off some of the ones I really loved at the time...

    Black Rose Davey Jones Ramp not seating on playfield

    Sorry I should have filled in the conclusion. I got some hints from Pinside and after trying a couple things figured it out. Essentially it's a much used feature and everything eventually gets bashed out of place in micro increments. I ended up bending the pivot pin that holds the ramp at...

    Black Rose Davey Jones Ramp not seating on playfield

    Quick question for other Black Rose owner/fixers. I'm paying some long overdue attention to my Black Rose and noticed that when I set it up again, everything was fine. But after a dozen plays, the Davey Jones Locker pop-up ramp suddenly will no longer come cleanly down to meet the playfield (it...

    Which is easier? Trade desired titles, or sell then buy?

    There's also always the risk that an uneven temporary trade may be misunderstood by parties and you are never able to trade back. That's happened to me with a friend years ago and I am still "stuck" on what happened. (No one at PBRev, BTW)

    Which is easier? Trade desired titles, or sell then buy?

    About 10 years ago, collectors used to trade more regularly as they got bored with titles. Some, like myself sold a number of titles with the thought "I can always buy another close to the same price in the future." Well, along came a wave of younger generation getting cheap mortgages and a...

    Be careful, Mark Uttley / Stephen Anderson still in full swing in Hamilton

    In my case I believe things were stolen from me while Uttley and his posse attempted to distract me. He does the same long distance scam with high end HiFi equipment. So really I just want new collectors and out of province members to be aware of the risk.

    No ghosting!? Isn't that a detriment in this pin? :happy: GLWS (and sending greetings as we have family in Maple Ridge).

    SOLD Huo star trek next generation $6300

    STTNG is a great game, very deep. I have one (my second) and took the approach that I will only learn the rules by playing the game. I have always said that I would be buried with mine. Once it's dialed in you have relatively few issues with it. The ball trough is usually a problem with the...

    SOLD WPC Power fix: Daughterboard PRO

    This is cool, I hadn't seen that fix before. Don't want to change your sale post into a discussion (but maybe it will help the sale!) Part of me wonders though, whether it will mask the underlying issues that cause the resets in the first place (like dirty pins causing added resistance that...

    The Canadian Arcade - Stern STAR WARS Pinball - Pickup & Unboxing

    Where my pinballs live the walls are drywalled but not painted. But at least your pinballs are set up, all but one of mine remains on end or on loan. I have a driving simulator too, three screen wrap around, however it also is currently boxed up from prior to our reno. ;-)

    The Canadian Arcade - Stern STAR WARS Pinball - Pickup & Unboxing

    Is EVERY pinball collector's basement (except SpiroAgnew) unfinished? It's like pink insulation is the "thing." lol Also, is it me, or does this game NEED a co-pilot? Unbelievably complex. Thanks for the vids!

    FS restored woodrails

    Most of the wood rails have burn marks from people leaving their burning fags hanging over the edge of the pinball while they played a ball. Oddly enough the Hi-Diver is considered "rare" and desired woodrail south of the border, in part because of the backglass animation and dual flippers...

    So this happened last night (sheared screw)

    The images don't expand. Owning some tools (or a nearby friend who does) is pretty much a "requirement" of pinball upkeep repair. A cordless drill in particular. But an extractor screw set is an inexpensive purchase at Canadian Tire. If there is even a tiny bit of protruding shaft then...
