What Pinballs do you own.
« on: May 31, 2015, 06:31:07 PM »
Hi everyone.  I worked for my father in his small game room back in the early 80's and have always loved Arcade games.  After 17 1/2 in the Army, I went into business with my father in law repairing and restoring all types of coin op amusement devices in 03 up in Maine until I had to quit due to med reasons.  Broke my heart.  I bought my 1st pinball at a Military Welfare and Recreation Auction for $200.  It was a Williams Police Force that had a shipping crate dropped on it.  I was able to repair it and had it in my barracks room.  Once I was out I bought out an arcade distributor who was going out of business and got a Bally Medusa, Williams Pheonix, Gottlieb Monte Carlo, Bally BMX, and a Data East Robocop.  Unfortunately the Medusa, Pheonix, and Monte CARLO were severely damaged from a storm and were not salvageable.  The BMX I sold to a friend, so all I have now is the Police Force and Robocop.

I have an original Williams Black Night, one of the first pins to have speech in the 1980s era.
Works pretty well, I have replaced the MPU/Driver board with an aftermarket from Rottendog.
Great game

Busy summer, built a pole barn and in the process of building a 20x40 game room/bar  :yes: I picked up a Williams Rollergames the other day for $200 delivered dead. This is my first encounter with a pinball so it tool me longer to open it up than to find and replace the fuse that was blown. :24:

Works pretty good other than a few lights that are out. I ordered LED's for it so that should take care of most of it but I plan on giving it the once over. My grand kids are playing/beating the heck out of it and I'm having a ball. I can see this thing multiplying like the slot machines!!!  :drool04:
In the end the one with the most toys wins!

That is a good buy. Slot machines are a lot cheaper to buy than pins. My old KOS is giving me some grief though. The solenoid board is not working so I'll need to get working on that. Love those Pinballs!

I just sold my Star Wars Episode 1 (gets picked up today). Cool machine, but the video/pinball mix just doesn't do it for me. I upgraded it to the LED monitor, LED bulbs, blue neon light saber etc.., smooth pin!

I have owned Judge Dredd, Tales Form The Crypt, Last Action Hero, Baywatch and Lethal Weapon 3. Last Action Hero and Baywatch are very fun machines, bang for buck! If you have one, SELL IT TO ME!!
