So as the year draws to a close, what was your greatest deal or best find this year?

I cant decide which one was better. Either scoring a HUO Burgertime for $100 or finding my grail, a Super Mario Bros. Pinball, for sale right down the street from me.
 
Hands down my best find and best deal of 2009 was a Bally Fireball Classic Pinball. It was 2 miles from my house and I got it for $100. Spent another $50 putting new rubber on it, new balls and replacing a blown cap on the sound PCB and install new fuses on the power supply. Works great and my kids love it!
 
I picked up a lot of games and a lot of vectors at that, in fact, mostly vectors. Space Duel, Asteroids Deluxe, Battlezone, Star Castle, but my best find is probably the Vectorbeam Warrior even though it's trashed.
 
Hmmmm...

My DL 2 project cab that is almost finished...pretty happy with what I got for the price I got it for..

And a "shout-out" to ACEJEDI for letting me borrow a 1450 laser player to get everything up and running..finally picked up my own 1450 so I can give his back to him now :)

Merry Christmas, Everyone!! Be Safe and God Bless!

My best deal of the year was a couple days ago. Picked up a 9 ft Proline slate pool table for $200. Time I replace the felt and cushions, Ill have under $500 invested in a table that retails for 5K
 
Finally tracking down a 2P Rampart board (my only addition in '09).

The best thing though was getting my multiJAMMA set up finally running.
 
Super Pac 100% working- $50
Berzerk w berzerk/Frenzy boa rds needs work- Free
Sega Missile Command prototype machine 100% working - $100
DK jr working - $100
Cyclone Pinball very nice and working - $600
Hypersports non working - $75
T2 pinball working - $500
 
Im gonna hafta say my greatest find this year is Game Galaxy in Nashville. Cool dudes, classic games, and Jason pays me in cabs for helping 'em out with stuff :D
 
i think my favorite was my black (non wood grain) dedicated Time Pilot i bought last spring for $200. maybe not the best score, but the one i play the most.
 
Time Pilot with original kickplate and sideart for $125. Just a bad switcher and it was up and running.

Solomon's Key pcb for $50. :D
 
3 Zeke's Peaks, 2 blue Duramolds, and a 2 player Joust Pinball (in the tune of 12 days of Xmas...hehe)
 
A jammatized Stargate cab with a TMNT PCB in it, painted black for $32.00 on ebay. I put in a switcher and a GO7 chassis and it worked. Sold the TMNT PCB here. It is now a JRock Multi-Williams/Smash TV cab... :D
 
I got a hypersports, working for 100

I guess my tron from ctozzi for $450. Not the "greatest" price, certainly a fair one.
But I had the game for like 3 days my first 3 scores were
500,000
700,000
1,000,000 and I quit with 2 lives because I was pissed it rolled back to zero.
