Here's an update to today's post (with items that are already sold), I
had quite a few people come out and made some good progress. I haven't
gotten back to you it was probably because the game already sold.

We just cleaned out a warehouse of stuff, pinballs are generally not
what we do nowadays so here they are for sale. Please, please read
this first before you e-mail or call us. These pinballs are
untested,
they have been sitting in an operator's warehouse for 15+ years. We
plugged a few of the newer ones and they fired up, but expect some
issues and assume they don't work. They are being sold as-is, cash
and carry and are located in Schwenksville/Limerick, PA.

I do not have pictures at this time, please don't ask for them right
now, if I get some stuff cleared out I may post pictures later, but
right now I can't easily get to each one to take pictures.


In general, these games are in pretty good shape, most are dirty from
sitting, but the playfields have minimal wear for the most part and
the back glasses are good. I've noted anything I remember when moving
them, but again most of these machines have good cosmetics and are
ideal for restoration as they are not beat up.


I'm looking for people who want to come by take a look and haul the
stuff away. If we pull something out and it is not as nice as I
thought then I can be more flexible on price, but most of it is pretty
decent. Preference is going to be given first come, first serve, at
this point I don't want to hold machines, I just want some room back.


I've done my best on pricing these, but it has a been a while since
I've sold pins, if the stuff doesn't sell, then we'll reconsider some
of the pricing. Here goes the list of stuff:


Big Chief (Bally, 1940), $900
Black Hole, $650
Black Knight, $900 (nice backglass)

swelling)

Fashion Show, $400

Ah, one of the most elusive "I gotta get one" games there is.

And I STILL can't imagine for the life
of me, why.

Poor earner down here, and most,(all?) were junked
by the operators.

At least the boards were saved...

Probably a poor earner everywhere - it's neat and I had it on my want
list for a while, but it's too easy - cool bass sounds though.

It went for a lot I heard and was a little rough.

Hoping you guys who are experts can help me fill out the identities in
the photos, or let me know if something is incorrect of course;)
