Anyone Looking for a Bally Lost World?

Let's not get carried away

Well, I guess maybe bullet resistant is a better term. Anything can happen, but let me tell you, when I first got this machine, it would fire up 1 out of 10 times with no issues. Sometimes you'd get lucky and it would fire up 2 time in a row, but not very often. The other nine times, the solenoid board would be dead or half the lights wouldn't come on, sounds were whacky etc. This was the norm for 2 years. I installed the new power supply 4-5 years ago and it has fired up every time, all the time since then. If I do the math correctly, it went from 10% reliable to 100% reliable between those 2 time periods. I just go with what I know.

Great deal, glad to see you've sold it. If it were near me, I would have bought it sight unseen. I don't think you can have too many pins, right?

You can. But it's a LOT.

Hard to argue with results.

No, you can't argue with numbers. Speaking of numbers, my daughter ate the last Aero bar you sent me this past Monday night. Thanks again, that was a gift that kept on giving.

haha! Nice. I'm sure you were sick of them months ago. Mission accomplished.

I had them in the freezer. They woulda lasted us another 6 months, but she had been sneaking them for the past 5, essentially devouring about 15 of them in that time all by herself. Ahahahahahaha, what a little sneak.

Is an Aero Bar another "Canada only" thing?

A buddy of mine sent me a bunch of Coffee Crisps around Halloween, they were pretty darn good, and not available in the states...too bad, I'd buy more if they were here!

I think so...I have relatives from Utah that always ask for coffee crisps...LOL

This machine has been sold and picked up already. Wow, it sits un-played for 2 months and NOW the kids start asking (and crying) for it. *sigh*

 

[Burt6666]

hahahaha...figures,eh?

Sadly, the foreign foods I like most? Marmite, and Grapefruit mentos. One is massively popular and available in many places. The other was only available imported from an Israeli grocery store near me, and was discontinued.

They will forget all about it when you bring home a better pin.
