Take a look at the latest addition to the Asshat Arcade...

Keep in mind it's dirty...and the glass was dirty when I took the photos... (note - top photo was from the seller...my batteries died after only two shots)

awesome Frizzz i love that pin. two of the local NE guys have them and its a great game..that fan really puts out some wind
 
heh ... sorry had to do it...


Dude... sweet effing pin!!! i missed one off these pins awhile back and im not too happy about it.. . great pin and should be a nice addition to your cade!
 
Wish i could score something as sweet as that. Ever since i got hooked on the williams hall of fame for xbox 360 ive been looking for each of those pins hoping to score one.

Nice job and it looks great.
 
Excellent pin frizz. Did any machines leave those hallowed halls to make room?

Also, diamond plate or mylar? It appears to be diamond plate in the pics - that or a really shiny mylar!

It's mylar (unfortunately), but it's in great condition overall aside from the fact it's a bit dirty. They used black rubbers too...I hate that.

No cabs had to be sacrificed to make room just yet. 1000 Mile Rally is likely on the road to the chopping block though.
 
Nice, I really like the look/play of that game. I want to add a sys11 to my collection bad and whirlwind is very high on the list of must haves
 
Nice score. Whirlwind is one of my personal favorites. I've had MANY pinball machines pass thru my hands, and Whirlwind is one of the ones I miss the most. The upper left flipper to ramp shot is killer!! One of the best Williams System 11 machines.

I am guessing you mean upper RIGHT flipper? I don't think there is an upper left.

I am very stoked. I am going to pick it up in about 5 minutes. I didn't want to move it in the rain last night. Without even messing with it, I'll say that I am very happy with the purchase... and lets just say I didn't think it warranted haggling on the price (even though I am confident I could have gotten it for a hundred bucks less or so I am that good... :D )
 
Sweeeet!

I'm pretty sure there are repro decals for the spinners. Be glad it's mylared. I've seen non diamond plate playfields with no mylar that have no art left on the inserts. Yours looks pretty damn nice.

Yeah thats what I meant....good luck with picking it up!!
 
Alright... she's home... a could things I notice.

(A) There are a couple diagonals missing from the scoring segments. Is there a rebuild kit for this? $199.00 for a pinscore set is sort of steep.

(B) The three discs spin erratically... they'll spin a 1/2 spin, then stop for a half second then spin another 1/2 spin then stop for a quarter second, etc... as if it was getting bound up (I still have yet to pop the playfield, so maybe that IS what's happening). From playing the game on the Wi, I am guessing they (the discs) should spin constantly when there is a storm coming, right? Does that sound like a motor issue? Suggestions?

Finally... since I got it home and I know it's mine for sure... I picked this up for $700.00 out the door.

Congrats on the game. The game is a lot of fun. I don't think there is anything you can do to rebuild the old display. I know it's alot but the Pinscore from Marco is the way to go. I got one for BoP. Excellent reviews and support. Plus, it's the only LED replacement display that you can adjust the brightness :)

You got a really good game for a great price. I know if I wind up getting this DP WW, it's not going to be so affordable......... :-/
