You might want to consider buying new balls for ALL of your machines. Worn silver balls can lead to pitting and excess wear in the playfields. I don't think that they are that expensive, and the lives of your pins will be extended. APf |

I would definately keep the rare roy clark pinball. And maybe one of those skill tops too, just because they look kewl. hehe. Some of the other stuff, i would get rid of though. Maybe even some of the crappy pinball machines. That T2 pinball and kiss pinball would be my CENTER PIECES!!!! heeheh. I really did like the "antique" look and feel of that roy clark piece. Man, i need to start collecting stuff like that. I've never really seriously looked into buying arcade machines, but i think i may start hehe. It would just look kewl having old vintage stuff around the house for conversation pieces. :) Good score man! Seems like alot of money at first , but when all is said and done, it will work out ok in the end. Just play your cards right and you will probably be ahead. groovY~ |

Groovy, I agree that there's nothing neater than a vintage pinball machine. My dad has a really cool old Gottlieb Big Hit Baseball pin. (like this one: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=253 ) I think it's way more fun to play than any newer multi-level pin. -S |

I am also keeping 4 differnt Pachislo's and maybe 1 more for spare parts which leaves about 10 others to sell. :) I just found out how easy it is to modify them to accept quarters, and they make auto stop chips so it'll run like a genuine slot machine. They also make "bandit arms" for these, who would have thougght? :) |
