I have 3 vids I want to trade for a pin - Red Tent, Mario Bros widebody, Dig Dug - WI

I know I'm going to get yelled at by a few on here but I can't help myself. I've been kinda obsessed with pins recently and want to add another to my gameroom. The vids just don't get played by myself, my kids, or friends because of the one pin (Pinbot) in the gameroom which consumes all interest. So... I want a new pin. Let me know what you've got from the 80's and after.

-Nintendo Vs. Red Tent
Cabinet is solid, controls and monitors work well. The cabinet could use a re-paint which I was planning on doing this spring. Comes with three Vs. pcbs... Vs. Balloon Fight (plays on both sides of cabinet), Vs. Ice Climber/Vs. Dr. Mario, & Vs. Excitebike/Vs. Pinball. Also comes with a spare Vs. Hogan's Alley chipset, a couple extra control panels, a few joysticks, some buttons, etc. Keys for all locks are included.

-Mario Bros (widebody cabinet)
Cabinet is in good condition... not perfect but good. Has the freeplay / high score save kit installed (from mikesarcade.com) as well as new t-moulding also from mikesarcade.com. Bezel has a few scratches but not horrible. Monitor looks great although from time to time it does get bright for a few seconds then return to normal. I was told this would need a cap kit and new flyback installed. I have the new flyback but haven't had the time to install it but I will include it with the game. The manual and keys for the locks are also included.

-Dig Dug
Cabinet is in good condition and game plays very well. Monitor looks great although the right side is just beginning to curl up. Nothing a cap kit won't fix. Some scratches from being moved but nothing serious. Control Panel looks pretty good... it could stand to be replaced but honestly I wouldn't be if I were keeping the game. Coin doors need to be repainted and it needs locks for the coin doors. The game manual is also included.


Don't really want to sell anything individually yet... just kinda seeing if there's any interest in a trade.

So you're asking for one pinball in exchange for three of your machines?

Sure... what have you got? I'm torn on it because the RT and MB are great games... so is Dig Dug but it's not as close to my heart as the other two. But if I could add a good pin to the line-up... ... hmm
 
And so the New Year begins............


It's a good offer, B. I hope it works out for you. I just hope you're not selling the Dig Dug, because of your near death experience with it!
 
I know I know I know...

I'm 100% torn on going through with a trade though. Mario Bros is one of my favorite arcades. The Red Tent is great and I was planning on doing a full paint restoration on it this spring. And I finally just got Vs. Dr. Mario again in a killer trade deal last week and would hate to lose it... again. And Dig Dug is less than a month old in my gameroom. But I've become completely obsessed with pins. If for no other reason than because they don't have monitors that are going to give me a hard time. I dunno... maybe I would regret letting these games go right now. Maybe I just need to wait for awhile until letting go of these games wouldn't be so tough. Maybe I just need unlimited funds and space in the gameroom and I wouldn't have to deal with this. I'm not sold on trading these games yet... but the temptation is pretty intense. :)
 
It seems as if the Red Tent Fellowship is slowly falling apart. :(

In all seriousness, do what makes you feel good. If it's pins you want to play, then play pins. Good luck with the trade!!
