I recently picked up my second pin the other day and I'm really excited about adding another to the collection. It a William's F-14 Tomcat. This thing is freaking insane! Fast gameplay that leads to quick ball drains. Multiball is a seizer waiting to happen. I could not have asked for a better pin to add.

After I picked up my first pin I knew that if I could just have one more to the collection that I would be satisfied. Well now that I have two it seems to me that a third would really be more appropriate. I could sell off my remaining vids to make room and…What's wrong with me!!
 
Nothing - completely normal; anybody I've ever sold a first pin to has been told that one won't be enough... ;)

I never get tired of multiball on my F14 - the lightshow and claxon going off at high volume - EVERYBODY knows when you get multiball on an F14!
 
Heh, welcome to the disease!

I too had 1 pin once......once (anyone get the reference?). It was sad and lonely. Then I got another and they were like rbbits. They multiply. Quickly.

Congrats on the pickup! It's a fast game for sure! One of the best light shows in pinball in my opinion.

Was that the one on CL yesterday for 700$ that disappeared before I could get a response from the guy?

If so, I'm *pissed*. CPR needs to hurry the hell up with this Space Shuttle repro playfield so they're not tying up my money waiting on it any longer. I can't tell you how many posts I've seen on CL for people looking for one of these in D/FW the last few months. One came up that needed some repairs but was like double the price, passed on that one, but did foward it to someone who had one of the ISO posts...

Was on the fence about trying to get this one, because I AM waiting on this SS playfield and I can't just pull 600$ back out of thin air like some people, and every change I make to the inside of our tiny condo is a monumental task in and of itself. Man, I could totally just punch a hole in a wall right now...

Great pickup if that's the one...
 
Nice looking F14. I had one for a while, sold it to get some extra cash for the down payment on our house a couple years back. I would like to get it back someday.
 
A buddy of mine has a nice F-14. That pin is Crazy-Loud and the lightshow will burn out your eyes.

When those lights on the top of the cab go off, it is freaking blinding.

In a dark bar or arcade, it must have been outrageous.

It is also hard as hell to play. What a drain monster.

Congrats! I'd love to pick up an f14.

Its a natural progression it seems. Once you get a pin, you get another and start looking at making room to get more. All those dusty vids.. They just seem to be in the way. ;)
 
Congrats,I too sold my f-14 in December,guy i sold it to called me in may,and told me he was selling it due to divorce,I went and bought it back,IMO its one of the better williams system 11 games.

That's the one. Besides some exterior cosmetics the machine is in great shape. I emailed him within 10 mins of the post going up. If it's any help I'm off the market for a new pin now as I need to sell my Atari Star Wars before I can have room for another. Know anyone that wants a Star Wars vector?
