Today I traded a game I never thought I'd let go, and got a game I never thought I'd own in a 4-game switcheroo with Krajkerjac. It's a crazy universe, man.

He got my Creature from the Black Lagoon pin and my Asteroids machine.

Here's what I got...

and...

Here's Discs Of Tron, about to make its way into the arcade:

And here's a side view of Crossbow:

Discs of Tron has the speech hack and LED's installed on the top of the machine that produce a blue glow on the wall. Very cool.

Crossbow has the 440 multi-Exidy kit. I think Chiller is going to be a hit in my game room.

A few more pics to come in my next post...
 
After moving some games around, here's Discs of Tron in its new home:

And here's Crossbow (man, this cabinet is tall!)

Enjoy Creature, Joe. Be good to her :)

I know I'll enjoy these two!
 
oh, man, that's a tough trade. DOT is a great game and the Exidy 440 is one of the coolest things ever (i should install mine!) but CFtBL is one of my top five favorite pinballs of all time and i think i'd have a really hard time giving it up. i suppose Creature and Asteroids are both a bit more common than the two you received so maybe you can replace them at some point if you really want to.

either way, those are some nice looking cabs in a great looking game room!
 
Nice scores man! Tough trades but I bet both parties will be happy. I love the 440 kit, and yes those Exidy shooters are bigger than you would think!

Looks like you have an EDOT CPO on that DOT (it's purple). ThisOldGame just got done with the UDOT cpos and they look awesome! you may want to pick one up.
 
Nice trade! I'm more of a video guy so I'd say you did great. Can't go wrong with a DOT and multi-Exidy, especially in such good shapes!
 
I would steal from my mama to get a Crossbow that nice! Great games!
 
Thanks, guys. Creature was my very first pin (I've had it since '03), and it's one of my all-time favorite games. Letting it go wasn't an easy decision, but I've been itching for a shakeup in the arcade, and to get a game like DOT, one of my big ticket games had to go.

As for the CPO, yep, it's the environmental version. It's in great shape though, so I may just leave it as-is.
 
EDOT cpo is only one player. That extra 2-player button was added.

My advice: send me that EDOT panel unpopulated, and I'll send you an unpopulated TRON panel so you can get the UDOT cpo from TOG and be done with it.

Enjoy! They went to a good home!

Remember, I still have a couple of the UDOT overlays if you decide to change it out.

Regarding an above post, that is the correct CP on there, just not the correct CPO.

Now to get back to Creature... :D
 
Too cool, Dave! I was asleep early last night when you texted me. (I am sick as a dog at the moment... :( ) I like Crossbow and DOT, but like others have said, wow... Giving up a choice pin like that took some balls, my man. ;)

I was so hoping you had gotten rid of those dumb holograph games! :rolleyes: Ah, well. To each their own.

I think you both made out good. Kraj, you have any interest whatsoever in XXIXX (or whatever) / Brian's old Space Invaders? It's going to be the one to exit my gameroom in a week, when I pick up my Space Wars...

Or anyone in AZ, for that matter. It's up for sale or trade, now. I'll create a thread at some point about it. PM me if interested, I don't want to steal any of Dave's glory in this thread.

Yeah, it was a very tough decision, but I think I'm going to be happy about it in the long run.

Hey, hey, hey... no bashing Time Traveler. You can bag on Holosseum all you want, but leave Time Traveler out of it. That game is cool. :)

Now I need to find someone to swap me a Warlords cocktail for my Bram Stoker's Dracula pin...

Wow. Cool to see someone coming back from the dark side of pinball games! :D
