Show off your best 2017 Pinball scores


Personally, i'm done collecting untill I sell off some of my arcades and make a partialswitch to pins.

15 arcades and 3 pins in 2017. 2018 will be repairs and cosmetics.

Finished repairing the driver board, coin door lights, ball launch, flashers circuit, and GI lights for the backbox, and upper playfield. Indiana Jones just needs a rubber kit, flipper spring, and new flipper spacers and a couple coil sleeves, and 2 new mechs. Lower lights upgraded to comet pins natural white leds... Makes that playfield pop.

Fishtales, I repaired the topper lights, and will install a rubber kit and clean and wax the playfield. Topper dome removed (cleaning it and polish).

Cleopatra needs a power supply rebuild, and work on the backglass.

Pins and Vids complement each other.
The "best" arcade would have some of each.
The "best personal" arcade would have games which mean something, based on nostalgia or whatever. That would imply pins, vids or both, I would assume.

Just having a collection of "random" vids and/or pins is meaningless.
Just collecting one OR the other doesn't make too much sense to me either. YMMV

:2in1:

Stfu you high roller sob

both you and vector got a hoard of cabs and parts

It is simply too difficult to continue with arcades when the prices are as high as getting dmd era pins.

I refuse to pay high prices for arcades.

If I had not gotten a loan from my brother, I would not even have gotten indy jones... But the price.... Could not pass it up. And its damned near a huo quality playfield.

Minty.

LOL, I started collecting ~30 years ago.
Wish I had more $$ back then and was able to buy most of my collection, more pins, and more. But as it turns out, yes, I've been lucky to find what I have, but it did not come easy (or free). :cool:

As with many things in life, it's all about timing.

lol yer awesome. i'm just jelly. never in 10-100 years will i ever be able to enjoy nice
pinball machines. my small ghetto shack doesnt have room to even fit 1 pinball. so i live
a poor somber life of 30 refrigerator-sized arcade games. oh well. everyone has their luck
on what type of house they live in, what job they do, how they spend their disposable
income, and so on... and like vector says, it's all about timing and location and your connections! :)

happy new years 2018! may you find 20 NOS donkey kongs! :)
 
Easy. you got a $6,000+ pinball game for $100 cash. So lucky!

I wish 100 then no loan would be needed.

Happy new years buddy.

I just want to focus on getting joust, gaplus, galaga up and running and sell my dupe 2 mspacs and pac, to start.
 
I got a Williams joust head to head pinball for free. That's a deal of a lifetime.

Only 402 were made! And less then 50-100 probably exist or survived today. That damn
game is worth $7.5k ~ 10k EASY! Do you still have it? Do you have photographic proof that
you got it for free? Where is it? Where the photos at? Anyone on the internet can claim to
be a god, but to prove you're a god, that's another story. need proof sir. PROOF! SHOW US!

I can look in my past ebay sales maybe as that's where I sold it.
 
Tried to make 1 years ago and it locked on me after I put everything in and gave up. I sold it because it just didn't intrest me. I've had a few rare games and I've kept them for a lil bit and moved them on.
 
No new pins for me this year, though I came close on a couple. I'm pretty full up, so new pin usually means selling one I have, and I don't want to sell any I have. Got myself a real nice Medieval Madness last year, though. Home use since 2002,
 
I sold a EM pin, delivered it, and set it up. It did not like the trip. I spent 2 hours getting it to work at his place. I made two more trips fixing it and then it breaking again. I do not know if he was doing something to it or I did not get if fixed right. I finally gave him his money back and now it is in my basement working again.
