As a teenager I recall how much fun it was to find a newish machine on location where the extra ball or free game thresholds were still set fairly low. It certainly is an element of pinball and would take away from the experience.

Awesome game, which I'd kept it over Black Hole....

Paypal really doesn't offer any protection. The one time I had to claim something back, they supported the seller despite a fully documented claim with photos. I refuse to support paypal anymore.

One of the hack's I really hate is replacing chips that someone previously worked on without socketing. The people who do repairs at this quality level usually damage the traces too.

That would make sense. Everyone putting their hands in the cookie jar.

Last time I ordered from Marco was 2016. I paid $49.99 for overnight shipping which includes brokerage. That was a few days before a league night when Dr Who spit out its gearbox. Mind you - I called and had them process the order because I didn't like the online options.

How's your Force II backglass? I need one to get scanned.

It is a rare variant of the Dodge Caravan where the rear windows do not go down

Do the rear doors only open from the outside too?

With the prices of pins lately, you're probably not far off the mark!

Like everyone else already said - it's pretty straight forward. I always print the original ad in case the seller takes it down. I had not thought of having them sign it instead of writing up a receipt. I like that idea!

I'll make ya a deal, you can buy mine for $3500.

I really enjoyed Fire Escape for the short time I hosted one here. I was kind of jealous I didn't find it first!

Great looking project! I wish I never sold mine. I had done the CPR PF. If you're up for some seriously challenging play, give it a good coat of wax! The plunger got more action than the flippers the first night I used it for league.

Oh boy, I have some series time invested in this series on the C64. I called it the joystick killer! World Games was my favourite.

Moved Stargate home day. I had loaned it to my daughter for a few weeks at her office. Man I forgot how heavy that pig is. By far the heaviest one I own.

Cheers,

That is the 1 machine that will never leave. It actually belongs to my wife.

I think I'm putting this hobby on "pause" for awhile. I haven't done any league nights for well over a year now! Will probably even downsize the collection shortly....

Where I live, there is so much iron & sulfur in the water I had to manually flush the softener resin tank every few weeks. It eventually stopped working and I gave up on it. I have 3 filters on the drinking water line to get rid of the crap. The first one is a large sediment filter I change ever...

I remember walking up to the mall after school to play this one. We nick named it the `Cow game` :) Also went from C64, C128, Amiga, sadly to PC when there was no much life left in Commodore. We also had a Colecovision Adam before the C64, so now I have dated myself! Anyone else remember typing in t...

Buy the pinball, hide it at a friends place for a few weeks until you get the balls the drag it home. Don't ask questions, just ask for forgiveness later

Fun game! Kind of regret selling mine. I bet I had 80-100 hours into it with the new PF.

It's even more rare than my Star Race. Which would be a better game if they had finished the sounds! Just doesn't seem finished in programming there.

I collect system80's if anyone wants to part with one

I love system 80s. Can't wait to play it one day!

This thread has me causally searching for a Amiga 2000 now.... Wish I never sold mine back in the day.
