Left for Omaha at 7:00 this morning. Loaded up Iron Man. Drove back and unloaded Iron Man. Brought POTC up from the basement. Brought IM down to the basement and set it up. Dumped Stargate over in the yard after getting it down the hill. Got Stargate inside and set up. No damage done but balls can get in funny places when you put a pin on its side. :D

I know, pics or it didn't happen, but you're going to have to give me some time to recover. ;)
 
you need to find some friends to help...

Then I could have blamed it on them when it dumped over. ;)

The new lineup:

You rolled your stargate? Ouch. Hope it turns out ok.

Nice gameroom. *jealous face*

I am going to look at an IJ tomorrow. Wish me luck.

More like gracefully dumped on its side. It didn't roll, and it is no worse for the wear. Gottlieb System 3s are built like a tank but they are heavy!

I found out later that my daughter was upstairs looking out the window and saw it tip over.

Good luck with the IJ!
 
Your pin lineup is amazing! Some day mine will be just as amazing :p

And I won't get rid of a bad ass star wars pin when I get one ;)
 
nice lineup!

Which Ironman version is that? I can't keep track with them maling like 3 versions of each game :(

Glad your Stargate is okay. I once rolled my Black Knight 2000 off the tailgate of a pickup. Turned out to be okay, but I was worried, as was the person helping me (he slipped and instead of the game landing on him, I shoved it to the side). Everyone came out okay.

That is an impressiove lineup of games youhave there. Enjoy!

I need to add on to the house so I don't have to pull such stunts. :D

Seriously though, I can fit at least two more pins in my basement and I've mentioned it. Once the kids get a little older and I can get rid of a few toys that are in the way, I think pins will take their place.

It is the Pro, or regular model. I'm pretty sure that the only other version is the "Classic" model which is the home version with the cheap cabinet and no magnets. They didn't make an LE for IM.

Wait...according to all the grief I'm getting, things like this will never happen if you have someone helping you. :D Glad the BK came out okay.

Thanks for the compliments, guys!
 
Went to Omaha? Curious where did you find an IM, new or used? I did not realize we had a place stocking Sterns up this way. Thanks man
 
I never took a picture of it before, but Stargate looks pretty awesome in that picture with the LED's in the backglass. Good to see some of my 'old friends' again. :)
 
Yes, Stargate does look really good with LEDs in the backbox. They are Superbrights from Cointaker, right?
 
That was one of the first things I noticed as well. The backbox on Stargate looks great. Also that your AFM looks sad.

Was Stargate on your dolly when it fell over?

BTW - You need to sell me your IM. Taylor34 won't sell me his.
 
@Greg, it was used, not new.

Was Stargate on your dolly when it fell over?

Yes, strapped to the dolly. I already had it down the hill and was taking it towards my patio and the door. It is on a slight tilted incline. I've moved at least 7 machines down by myself and never had a problem so I was probably a little complacent. System 3s are heavy, I need to pay a little more attention with them. I probably also should have added a little more air to the dolly's tires.

Just got done with about a half hour session of IM kicking my butt.
