Curious who is planning on bringing pinballs to sell at MGC and what
models are being offered.

Didn't bring cash or a truck last year and regretted it.
Thank you and look forward to seeing everyone at the Milwaukee show in
late March!
cheers.

I have the following for sale about 40 minutes west of the show. I'll
probably bring 2 of them to the show.

Heavy Metal Meltdown:
Average condition. Cabinet fade, overall playfield wear, Works and
plays as it should. It will need a shop job and new rubbers. $650.00

Slugfest:
Overall decent condition. Cabinet fade. Has some repainting done
that can be seen in photos. Cabinet is overall ok. Machine could
use new flap. Ramp works correctly. Bleachers have been taped up
because it was cracked in half. There are a couple of scratches on
the playfield. The control panel could use a replacing but it doesn’t
effect play. DMD works with credit dots. Has card dispenser that
works. $1000.00

Rock Encore:
Average condition. Cabinet dings and such overall like much of the
Premier cabinets, Mylar is pulling up on some of the inserts.
Displays and sound is strong. Game works as it should. $650.00

http://www.flickr.com/photos/56732973@N04/sets/72157627867097342/



NBA Fastbreak:
Overall this is a nice machine. There is cabinet fade and wear around
the flipper buttons. There are some gauges on the side of the head.
Drill holes for lockdown bar on front of cab. The playfield is
actually in nice condition and there are just a few spots where it’s
not perfect. The basketball bucket has a piece broken off but it
doesn’t effect play. It can be seen in the photos. Game works as it
should and has no credit dots. The machine plays fast and is a lot of
fun. $1500.00

http://www.flickr.com/photos/56732973@N04/sets/72157627742693287/

Mousin Around:

Overall this is a nice machine. There is cabinet fade and some touch
up that has been done. You can see it in the pictures. The
playfield is actually in nice condition. The pictures show the wear
spots I could find. The main portion of the playfield looks good and
has some nice looking color. All mechanics work as they should.
Mouse Traps work, ramps work. $1400.00

I plan on bringing Phantom of the Opera for free play & sale. (Not sure
on price yet... I haven't tallied up all I put into it yet.)

If anyone coming to MGC has a NOS POTO playfield... maybe work together
for package deal to someone.

Also gonna try and bring Stargate for free play too, but NOT for sale.

Looking to maybe use POTO as trade-bait for something else. (Dr. Who,
Firepower)

I could bring either F-14 or Johnny Mnemonic if I have a solid
commitment from a buyer, but I doubt I'll be bringing games to set up.
Anyone who went to MGC last year probably saw my JM on free play.

I'll probably have my sweet looking and hissing Game Plan Lizard pin
for play/sale and my Gamatron there for play. If the Lizard sells and
someone wants to remove it early, I'll haul over my Andromeda for play
to fill the spot.

Me, too!

I will be at the 2012 MGC and in the market for a new game.

I'm primarily interested in '60s and '70s single-player games from Gottlieb and Williams, especially AABs. Looking for good cosmetics, but needn't be shopped. No hopeless project machines. I already have my hands full!

Here're some titles I've been wanting:

GTB Centigrade 37
GTB Dimension
GTB Big Hit
GTB Volley
GTB Pop-A-Card
GTB Quick Draw
GTB Close Encounters of the Third Kind (EM)
GTB Pro Pool
GTB Diamond Jack
GTB Pin-Up
GTB Free Fall

WMS Spanish Eyes
WMS Palooka
WMS Teacher's Pet
WMS Blue Chip

Your GTB Close Encounters EM was just one Indianapolis CL a few weeks
ago. It was listed at $750, which I thought was pretty fair for this era
GTB in EM form.

I'll give you $300 for that Heavy Metal Meltdown, Chris. I sold a FULLY
shopped out (and when I say "shopped out", i mean shopped out as if I
were going to keep it myself. 100% painstaking love) for $600 before I
left LA. I sort of liked it actually, the ramp is such a POS that I sold
it in fear that I'd break the replacement I put in.

I'm planning on bringing a Gottlieb Volley for the freeplay area.
Also been considering selling my Black Hole. Works fine except for
the sound that went out a while back and I'm out of ideas to get it
running. Would come with lots of spare parts as well, and would only
bring it along if it were presold.

Reminder everyone -- if you're bringing stuff and haven't contacted
me, please do so ASAP. It looks like an amazing year of machines --
NOT including Tom's :) When you include his tour on Friday, you're
looking at over 400 machines ready to go :)

I don't think that I'm bringing anything for sale, and I don't think
that I'm bringing anything new home with me (except I'm hoping to get
a new monitor for my Carnevil). I *really* want to buy something, and
Christopher if you want to really taunt me bring that Mousin' Around
(It's on the 'short list' ;) ), but I'm *really* trying to be frugal
for a bit. Still too many projects that I haven't played at all to
really justify getting too much more. Heh, and I'm filling up my
buddys basement too, so it's time to stop until we get a different
house...

Although I'm going to look at one of those tomorrow... Hmmm....

Oh, and not for sale just for play I plan on bringing...

NBA Fastbreak
Batman Forever
Orbitor 1
Judge Dredd
Mr & Ms Pac-Man

All but Batman Forever will be used in a tournament for at least one
day, I think. I'm also hoping to figure out my Fleet Jr. issue (1934
Bally) but the ONE switch and ONE coil in it is apparently able to
defeat my tech skills. Oddly enough, no one that I know has been able
to help either :(

Tim -- No problem keep me updated. And, thank you for not offering
your Iron Man for sale, at least not now.

My pocketbook *shouldn't* be able to handle that, but I'd probably
force it too... :)

I'm not planning on bringing any pins to sell, but I will have a
un-routed (I'm the 2nd owner) Golden Tee 2005 for sale.

As for pins, I'll have my RFM and another on free-play but not for sale.
The other will probably be Class of 1812 as that gets alot of love and
not one you see all that often.

Maybe I'll switch it up and bring the Mousin Around. I'm honestly
trying to clean out the garage. Since a NBAFB is already making an
appearance I will probably leave that one at home. I'm taking the
Rock Encore to Pinball Circus the weekend before and I really hope I'm
leaving that one there....... :)

IM isn't going anywhere, I love the game... so simple in appearance,
yet so difficult to master (You are more than welcome to come over and
let it kick your butt, LOL).

Do you have a gamelist you can send me or posted somewhere? If I am
able to swing a few games out there I want to bring some different
stuff and not run the risk of duplicates.

If (and big if at that) I am able to bring games, I could bring a
couple from the following- Champion Pub, DE Simpsons, Iron Man, 1812,
Mario Andretti, Gladiators, or Guns & Roses.

For those worried about bringing duplicates. I am bring but not
selling, at least I don't think so, Space Station and either RBION or
STTNG. Probably leaning towards STTNG since I brought RBION last year.

Oh your right the week after is Pinball Circus. My Bad. Tim when did
you pick up the IM? I really like playing that machine. Sounds like
I need to make the trip north to come visit.

I picked it up about 6 weeks ago... I love it... you should definitely
swing by when you are back from the road... If you are pulling the
trigger on AC/DC, you may want to leave me your garage code, I can let
myself in... :)

Nope, I brought my JM for free play last year and took it back home.
$1,100 is a steal for JM in my opinion, but then, I like the game a lot
more than most people. It's just time to trim/rotate the collection.

Mine is $1,300 picked up in the NW Chicago 'burbs, or $1,350 delivered
to MGC. Assuming the guy who messaged me today doesn't buy it, that is.
