Here's a list of pinball games I would purchase in awesome condition if
I won a lottery ($10k-$15) within a month:
Attack From Mars
Dirty Harry
Creature From the Black Lagoon
Indiana Jones (Stern, I already have a WMS) Twilight Zone

That would keep me busy for a while as that's probably all of the machines
I would want to complete my game room..

Mine would be timberframe house over looking Lake superior. Firm couch, two
pillows. DVD player, wall mounted tv, new squeakerball. Me and Auggie would
be out of pinball. LTG :)

I would want that Krull that HEP is restoring.

I think he said that his lottery was between $10k and $15k...so you
guys can't buy a house with that! (Or...that HEP Krull, in all
likelyhood).

I'm surprised that Dirty Harry is on the list...

If I had $15k to blow, it'd go to:
Twilight Zone
Indiana Jones (Stern)
Pirates of the Carribean
Batman: TDK
Safecracker

I can. I deleted what he won and just went with the subject line. My lotto
win will be much bigger. LTG :)

My lotto win will be a lot bigger than $10k-15k also. At one time or
another I've already owned or played ad nausea all of the pins that I
have desired. When I win lotto; pins will be way down on my list of
things to buy. Eventually I'd get around to pins, but it would be
long after items like ATVs, snowmobiles, jet skis, plane tickets,
cars, paying off friend's debts, huge TVs, cabin in Alaska, etc, etc.

I would definitely get a TZ off the bat.

There are three Creatures in the Bay Area so I have no additional
desire for that at the moment.

I would probably also get a Dracula. I love/hate the difficulty in
that game.

Ditto. Fact is, I can certainly afford a pin or two right now, but I
like my apartment life and pins just make too much noise not to upset
the neighbors.

List a pin on Mr. Pinball and you will win a bunch of lotteries, I won
3 today.

Only a $15k lotto win? Think BIG! Millions man. BIG house to fit the
ultimate gameroom. Then I'd personally fund the Kingpin project and
sell them off at cost. I'd also get a Wizard Blocks. then I'd keep
Chris Hutchins busy for the next 2 years restoring all my favorite
pins. Yeah, now that sounds like a lottery win!

I almost forgot the obvious! Hire all of the pinball game programmers
to go FULL-TIME to finish the games as far as they could go so ALL OF US
could benefit:
Batman The Dark Knight
Spider-Man (Stern)
Wheel of Fortune (Stern)

Any other ones come to mind?

Pinball themes that need to be developed and made:

Transformers (newest movies) would get the younger audience to play pins
right away! James Bond (Casino Royale & Quantum of Solace) C'mon, you know
they would sell!! Star Wars Revenge of the Sith - it has to beat Episode
I's machine Star Trek (current movie) Star Trek Pins sell! Black Hole (Disney
1970's Sci-Fi film) - old but I'd buy one immediately!

Good choice there.

I'd have to go with the following games if I came into a large sum of
money (my Super 8 + 1):

Jackbot -> I want this game sooooooo bad
CFTBL -> another game I really want
WH2O -> who doesn't want this in their collection
GnR -> sneak a DE in the mix
Spiderman -> next Stern on my list
Tommy -> will go well with GnR
WCS94 -> fun game
Funhouse -> I miss having one, but the one I sold was wrecked
TAF -> miss that as well, but it was not in great shape

Chris (in NH)

still FS/FT: SST $1000

If I won the lottery
I would buy a island and make myself king and then threaten the US
with war and have them pay me off with the president's apology.
Then I would buy Bally and make great Pinballs again and keep them all
for myself.
If you dream you dream big.

I've always wanted a CV or a MM. If I won big $$$ I'd have to get
every stern machine (DMD) produced.

About the most effective/cheapest damping material you could use I think is
spending about 100 bucks and getting 4-5 summer cotton sleeping bags (try
Walmart or something discount).
You can spread them all of the pin room floors and walls and it will suck
most of the noise up.

not to buy an Audi R8.. wonder if they make it in canary yellow..

If I won a Mega lottery ($millions$)
I would buy a building and donate it to the
Pacific Pinball Museum,
so they could properly house their PPM collection
along with my collection, for when I can no longer tend to it.

Every machine made since 1962, except Roy Clark.

Seriously, and in this order:

TAF
LOTR
AFM
TOM
Pinball Magic
Fireball
Monster Bash
Bally Ster Trek
STTNG
Any Wedgehead

Tom,

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I have purchased a Lotto ticket in your
honor....

Can't wait for you to see the new space!

Best,

Mike
