Just going to sum up a trade that will be happening this morning.
The Deal -
Trade my Ms Pacman and Qbert for a Demolition Man pinball.
Long story on the trade itself, I was going to restore his 2 games, Ms Pac and Qbert, all complete, just not working. I diagnosed them about 3 months ago and told him what it would take to fix them. He showed interest and offered a Demolition Pinball (would be considered my first pin) for the services.
Life got in the way for both of us, and the deal never went through. In the meantime, I was collecting the parts to do what he wanted. Easy enough, right?
Well, been holding off on all my projects to get refreshed again and decided to take a 2 month break. Wanted to play the games I built, not just make the museum pieces...
We talked on the phone a few days ago and struck another deal. Since his wife wanted the games fixed and working, I don't have the immediate time, we struck a deal to trade out the Ms Pac and Qbert in my collection for his 2 non working games plus the Demo Man. I think it is a good trade for both of us. He gets 2 restored games (with some mods that he wanted) and the wife is happy! I get the pinball and the 2 non working, and now, I'm happy.
You have to love it when things work out!
Pics of the games he's getting -
A while back, I had this Ms Pac as a multi 60-n-1. Still have the CP that I will put back. Pic shows what it will look like when he picks it up. I ran a new power block in there for Jamma last nite, rewired and connected the 60-n-1 pcb. Left the original wiring in there just in case...he gets a multi that is to his liking...all is good!
The Qbert was redone. Only thing that he does not get is the swearing marquee. His is in great shape and we'll swap them out. Done deal.
I will get the 2 nonworking and get to start over! Actually, for those who have been over here, know that's why I'm in the hobby...to rebuild.
And to top it off, I get my first shopped pinball! I'm excited!
More pics to follow when the trade is complete today...to be continued.
