I'ts been up for sale for a while and the firm price, not so firm. It was a custom re-theme for a promotional prize giveaway (so perhaps the seller got it for free): http://forums.redflagdeals.com/2012-09- ... y-1230225/

Re: Re: +1 here, I'm a Gottlieb fan, have owned one and regret selling it. I agree that it would be a good value at $1200 in working condition WITH a glass though. It's a fun title with an unusual ski lift and slalom skill upper play field. I am assuming that spiroagnew has actually...

Call me first. The Pashislos that show up in these venues (winners, As Seen On TV) are NOT even close to being very good ones, and NOT slot machines (they are an equally different collectable beast - I have weaned myself down to two). If it's a Pashislo you want (as opposed to a real Slot...

SMDs are only as good as the soldering quality control of the board manufacture, and one can imagine that there hasn't been enough time to put these boards through stress tests like an Ikea style cushion compression test. 25 years from now when some of these semiconductors fail, it might not be...

Not sure if they've changed, but every time I've shipped (or received) a pinball by Maritime Ontario, they let you bring it in wrapped, but not on a pallet and then will proceed to pallet it and put it up on their wrapper for you (no extra charge). They would wrap it horizontal for safety. I had...

Re: FS: STTNG with colour DMD $4800 OBO I bought my first one (which was in better condition than my current one) for around US$1700..... No one wanted anything to do with "Next Generation" back then. :roll:

Thank you, thank you, thank you! [One day I'll get an SST. It's just not my year for it. :cry: ]

I was on (#249), but then cancelled out. It's looking better and better, but in the end the theme just wasn't my cup of tea.

Re: FS: STTNG with colour DMD $4800 OBO I learned a while ago, particularly in a small collection, that "tough" games last longest. And like most tough games you have to give them an extended play period to "learn" how to avoid their pitfalls to get longer ball times. Same thing with STTNG...

I'm impressed too. I'm following this thread because vicariously it's what I'd really like to be doing during my spare time...if I had a proper workshop. (sigh)

Congratulations!

Possibly useful for those that DO keep their keys in the machine (used to be common practice in home machines with EMs that didn't have FREE PLAY setting...): It took a while having doors open on me to learn that if you just pull the key out one notch, rather than have it all the way in, the...

Re: Article:... most essential skills to become a pinball wi If someone banged one of my machines that way, I'd be bouncing them right out of my house, :x :lol:

Ah when cars sound like cars and drove like tanks! (I learned to drive in a manual 76 or 77 Chevy Concours (4th gen Nova) which was the replacement my Dad bought for our '64 Chevy Nova - I had pleaded and BEGGED him to keep the '64 for me, but someone offered him too much cash for it). I...

Since both are good games it probably depends on how many games in your collection and which theme you enjoy better. Neither would be a bad investment if you tired of it and wanted to trade or sell up in the future.

I don't know about these specific screws but I give high marks to Lowes for having the most diverse selection of American style hardware when I've needed one or five odd balls.

Fish Tales was / is a long time "B" rated game that has climbed to the top of the "B" chain. In part it, was because of the annoying country theme music, the fishing theme wasn't as exciting as some of the other pins available or coming off route at the time, and because it has a brutal short...

I would suggest that there is room for nicely planned and discrete audio calls that help cue users to make a specific timed "money" shot now and again. I can't think off the top of my head other than Rollergames "Don't Flip! Flip!" but I am SURE I've had that "deaf, dumb and blind kid"...

I think things have been changing in the past few years at the border, especially with the emphasis on it being a sales tax making prospect for the feds. And now with the Internet, the guards can do some easy research to try to determine an arbitrary value, despite what you say, or what it says...

The board exists now to purchase but it also requires a Raspberry Pi as the brains ( and an LED monitor) which brings the price up closer to replacement DMD, and likely more trouble than a video camera and monitor for projecting a score for a tournament. So I can see the move towards promoting...
