So, after skipping a few Super Auctions I decided to go to yesterday's in Colton, CA. Figured if I'm gonna make the trip, might as well come home w/ something. So - I came home w/ Airborne! First time I played it was yesterday and it seems really cool....and I've never had a Capcom pin. Any of you guys have this one? Let me know what you think!

I think this is one of the cleanest auction games I've ever seen. Looks like it was shopped out to some extent. Still gotta fix some stuff: One of the slings is dangling inside the PF Some of the GI in the backbox is out. A plastic protector next to the left ramp was replaced w/ some random piece of metal. For some reason there's a cork wedged between the control tower plastics. Trough is kicking out 2 balls instead of 1. Hopefully I'll get it all figured out! Other than that it seems to play pretty nicely and FAST. Seems like a fun game!

That baby was first in the pin row, and looked REALLY cool. There's just something about the way all that wireform sparkles. :D Congrats! Post a vid!

Yeah, the 2 youtube vids I found were really chunky. Might be a while though...the game needs some work to get dialed in, and I'm new to Capcoms!

He hasn't even posted a vid of his Elvis, yet. First things first. :)
 
Pretty fun pin. I played around 10 games on it as they were prep'ing it for PPE. We were "this" close to using it in the tournament but it had a couple issues and a weak DMD we couldn't quite sort out.

Still dialing it in! It's all clean and whatnot - but when I posted those pics, it still wasn't "done" ...last week I rebuilt the flippers, adjusted the bumpers so they're super sensitive, and put on new drop targets....I used the special LOTR coils, which are great on the lower two flippers, but on the upper right (inner loop) flipper, it's way too strong and sometimes the ball goes so fast the magnet can't catch it. Also - the ball gate behind the hotel is often stuck in the up position, so the ball is looping rather than going into the pops like it should....gotta take a bunch of stuff apart again to get to that gate. Pain in the ass. ;)

We'll let you slide, in that case. ;)
