Just make sure you scrub a little depending on the severity of the rust during the process, and dry the pieces quickly WITHOUT rinsing off the Evaporust, otherwise you risk battling flash rusting.

LMAO! Every game is deep and fun if you only play once before up-ending them into storage. ;-)

So tempted, but with 90 views already I'm betting it will be a bloodfest.

I think I shared this sometime back, the landscaping's still not done (coffers need filling, but we're getting there). This is the short version that highlights the new garage majhal (not much has changed there either except a couple pin repairs, but I actually need to do a lot of work to...

Thank you I really appreciate it. It's been at least 2 years and one house renovation later.... I've been a good boy. ;-)

A bit like starting in the shallow end with water wings, but hey, the Fall Fever's got me.

It's been quite a while since I've been able to afford a new pinball acquisition so I am putting out some feelers for the "enablers" as I'm not as much "into" the hunt as I used to be (ah the good ol' days!). Way back I helped another collector buy and fixed a Shaq Attaq, and I really enjoyed...

True enough, I am a long time addict after all. Rehab hasn't helped. ;-) The one grail game I have wanted to get (and should have bought new when I had a chance) is TRON. Any condition.

I was going to say the same thing. Are people tired of shill bidding and stopped using the auctions, or is the market starting to self-correct? I see a lot of over-priced EMs for sale all over the place these days. Perhaps the last wave of basement rec room buyers (from the 70's - although...

It shows my age (or perhaps my poor taste in 90's television) that I got the joke....

I have a p-roc that is just sitting here collecting dust because I could never find the time....

Best of luck. I'm about 2 years out of it now, and I still get yearning pains when I see postings. It's a terrible addiction. I just keep telling myself "You want it, but you don't need it. And maybe upright those 6 that have been on their backs in storage for the past 4 years...." ;-)

Also, Coinmaster Manufacturing Limited (and thereafter Coinmaster Gaming Products Limited) was a UK developer /manufacturer of early 80's electronics gaming devices like quiz machines and slot / fruit machines and I think manufactured gaming devices at least up to the early 2000's. It's...

They are indeed UK style fruit machine slots ala Quebec. Amusements Wiltron Inc. was the likely distributor, I would imagine they were imported from elsewhere (there were a few countries producing and shipping these style to the UK and Commonwealth countries including the Caribbean). I remember...

I'm in the "you make a deal, stick with it" or if you need to renege for personal reasons, get on your knees and beg for forgiveness and/or pay for your mistake. I think that accepting a deal and then reneging if you get a better offer is simply greed, greed, greed - they probably voted for Rob...

Actually this happens with most titles, their popularity ebbs and flows, sometimes arbitrarily, sometimes due to availability, sometimes due to a theme's appeal to a certain generation, and most often because someone posted a want ad, or someone just bought one and someone else wants one too.

A friend of mine talked me into selling mine (to Spiroagnew - which was one of his firsts pins). I immediately missed it, and now I pine for it again - but alas I probably wouldn't see one in that price range again. The one thing about the game is that it is a TERRIFIC Two Player game (mostly...

Funny I never came across this thread in my time here before. I've been an independent Internet Manager, Web Developer and Coder for about the last 18 years... during that time I started doing pinball and antique slot machine restorations, sold pinball glass and pinball parts - but lately have...

So that's what a $9600 pinball looks like, eh? I think I'd rather eat dick. LOL! (P.S. I am pulling your leg, of course. ) But I too am curious why you don't like it after 10 plays. There are definitely some dogs that I've tried to like and couldn't (Rescue 911 - and I am a big Gottlieb...

Good price and it's an ideal strap tightening system, way better than the ratchet type straps which eventually wear out. All of these except the most very high end do tend to require some adjustment and even replacement of the stair-climber belts in order to a) actually work the way they are...
