The OFFICIAL "Hey, I got a new machine" thread
- Thread starter Seven
- Start date
Don't know....told the guy right after he posted it I would give him what he asked as I was very interested.
Next thing its sold. Tells me two people are fighting in his den over it. I said thanks and left it at that.
If I was him though, I would have started the bidding there while the action was fresh
Congrats Adam.....glad to see it ends up in the KW area anyhow, just sadly not in my room LOL

You heard wrong then or this is a different machine. I was the only one there looking at it and paid him at that time. Not sure how that story came about but it's definitely not correct. Super nice seller.
This wasn't the one listed in Mississauga just a few nights ago for $ 6,800 then?
Could be a different ad perhaps, maybe I missed the ad that lead to your purchase.
In any event, no matter. Congrats on the purchase. I hope to find one of my own one day
but I am more doubtful than ever that it will come by way of Kijiji.

I've only ever seen BW100 once in my travels and I thought it was so off the wall that it was a blast to play. (once you figured out how to play it!)
Nice additions.

Blackwater is a weird machine that's for sure. The one I found was kind of a mess. Really dirty with stuff not working and hacked together. I pulled it all apart, gave it a cleaning, fixed everything up, added extra lighting, and now it looks almost new. It's a cool machine. I love how each turn starts with a chaotic 3 ball multi-ball.

Haven't gotten a new machine in a while... Sold a few though.
This little beauty found it's way to me a couple of days ago. Never played one before but the price was right and I'm a sucker for card games. The 60s vintage of this machine was also pretty appealing.
I learned that this was Gottlieb's last machine with a gobble hole. Collecting each of the 3 rows of cards on the backglass lights the gobble hole. One special for each set completed.
If you get all three, not only do you get 3 specials at the hole but every rollover will make a special too (up to a max of 15 I think). This is on top of specials earned for score.
Apparently this title was a huge earner on route back in the day and seems to be pretty collectible. Who knew?
It should clean up pretty nice. Cabinet is rough but playfield, plastics and bg are great. Coincidentally, this example comes with the Plexiglas "export" backglass.

Figured since this machine was already on this thread once...
Got this one from Adam 2 weeks ago and it is now set up and playing nightly!

Shit, what did I just do?
Kind of an impulse buy, but I wanted a new game, none of the other TOPL hosts have a Ghostb
usters, and I wanted to get more time on it. The theme is awesome, the gameplay is good, and my wife likes it too, so she was the one who finally said we should just get it. Sticker shock be damned!

Hah, it's an addiction. If she's worried now, she has no idea what she's in for.

This is my Metallica as of today waiting on transport. I hope to see it this week. You guys in Ontario have it made when you can just go pick up a pin and play. The wait is killing me.
Edit She finally arrived in A1 condition. Very pleased.
