Found this on ebay and called the guy real quick. Picked it up tonight for $1000. Game seems to work fine, but I havent tested everything yet. The playfield needs a real good cleaning (I hope thats all it needs by looking at it). Looks like it has alot of grime on it. I was able to wipe a little bit away with my hand.

Wasn't a game I was specifically looking for, but seeing how much people like these, figured I couldnt lose on the price

Barring serious issues with the game, I'd say you did extremely well there. Awesome deal. What was the guy's story who had it?
The guy is remodeling his house and wants to clear out a bunch of stuff. He also had a Judge Dredd. I didnt get that since I just picked up a starship troopers over the weekend. This guy had the biggest house I have ever been in. He threw a bunch of his stuff on ebay yesterday and he listed a phone number so I called and offered to pick it up today since he was in a hurry. About a 2 to 2 1/2 hour drive 1 way. I think he paid 3000 the way he was talking, about 5 to 6 years ago. I dont think he ever did anything to it since getting it. Thats probably why it is so dirty on the playfield.

The game seems to be working pretty good. Everything I am shooting seems to register. I only got multiball once so far. Seems like an interesting pin. I like the voice and sounds of the machine.

$1000 is a steal, man! Well done! That cab looks like it has very little fade, which is pretty rare with TZ machines.
 
Nice pickup!

It looks like it's really dirty, but those diamond plate playfields clean up real nice. My Jackbot looked dirtier than that and in the end it looked brand new when I was done with it. I see you have a Bride of Pinbot, those two games compliment each other PERFECTLY.

Great score, man.
 
Damn, man. I really need to revisit your place when I get back to VA.

Your welcome to stop by if your in the area again. Since you were here, I sold my police force and elvira and picked up a starship troopers and this twilight zone. I liked playing elvira, but the artwork was messed up big time. Might try to find one again later.

Thanks. I like bride of pinbot. I plan on keeping that for a bit. I may sell Pinbot since I dont play it as much. But havent decided yet. Gonna get rid of the Time Warp first since no one plays that anymore.

TZ is #1 on my 'must have' list. Starship Troopers is on my 'I like the theme but haven't played the machine so I don't know if I really want it or not' list. The opportunity to play a Starship Troopers is more than enough encouragement stop by...
 
Wow, nice score !! you stole that thing...one question I had after looking at the photos how in the hell do you use your Washing Machine, looks like a tight fit. ?
 
I'm actually really happy for the guy :)

I would love to find a TZ and I love fixer-uppers. For me this would be the ideal situation.


I know you are Lindsey :) :) Trust me when I first saw how cheap he got that I was jealous and happy for him at the same time!

LOL. Its not bad. The dryer is on the left, washer on the right. It actually fits fine. I could move it some if I got a longer drain tube, but my wife wanted it this way.
