People forget that Pinball and Amusements Distribution doesn't have it's roots in "respectable" business practice (I should know, my uncle was a distributor on the West Coast in the 70's and 80's). It was all about selling gambling devices and cigarette machines and skirting the location laws...

Hey Dave! Can you explain to me a bit more about what has been done (and by whom) for LED patches? I have a few WPC games in that era, one being STTNG which I am "going" to convert to LED soon enough. Also, would the new STTNG CPU ROM support the special sound / speech roms? Thanks, Wayne

And thanks everyone for answering my question!

Interesting thread that I am watching, thank you. Oddly enough my current STTNG is the ONE machine of mine in active use that has been the most stable (apart from the ball launch optos which are a pain now and again). One has to love machines that died early in their operating life, some...

I've had my run of both "honest" sellers and a few that were going to pull the deal because of higher offers but then came through after some honest discussion (people forget that money doesn't have to change hands for a contract to exist). But I suppose my good luck and days of pay it forward...

I'm on my second STTNG and it's likely going to be the cabinet I'm buried in (mostly because I've never seen the poker game yet). But I have to laugh when I see the current asking price and the rating it's now getting on the Top 100's. When I bought my first one most collectors gave it the...

It is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission I always say. :rolleyes:

I can never quite tease out of their site the difference between LCD and LED in this purpose . (And why you would choose one over the other.) Maybe I'm missing something in their FAQ. Can someone with experience explain it for us "inquiring minds." :-)

The Kijiji web site says that the Poster usually responds "within 2 hours" as far as they can track. I never received a reply, but my offer was honest and close to asking price.

Also, isn't that sacrilegious to say here? Who doesn't need another pin if they had the space / money? lol

Yeah, a lot of us have already responded and made offers. I haven't had any word, but my cell phone is getting more phishing spam. Not sure if it is coincidental or not. P.S. Warning: Cell text Phishing Spam is now all the rage. You get a text (with bad english) from what looks like a...

I made a sincere offer reasonably above the asking price to include delivery. It's a machine I'd want to fix and keep for my own collection. So all I can hope is that the seller recognizes the sincerity in my "sight unseen" offer (or is a collector who knows me by some miracle) and would have...

Offer made. (lol)

For a while there was a ton of them , but non of the collectors wanted it. 5500 produced, so not so rare. ;-)

Spoken for.

You're young. I thought of this when you brought up towels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(TV_series) lol

Doug, That's not exactly true. Slots in Canada are to be returned to the US where they are then re-sold. Ownership of any sort of slot machine is still, unfortunately, a federal crime in Canada although they turn a complete blind eye to it unless they are cracking down on a basement gambling...

I put my votes in once for Nick in the final and I am out as well. Worst run contest ever. It all comes down which pinball fanatic can/will cheat the system best. To be honest, since you can no longer see how many votes, they may as well have drawn from a hat.

Still voting daily because, who knows, they may toss out some of the votes and honesty may make all the difference.
