But I forgot that I bought the back glass for $50, but still $200 isn't too bad. The BG is kinda sad. Someone spray painted the backside black. I am in no position to pay $300 for a good BG. --- End quote --- I'm in the same spot. Mine looks okay if you're not paying attention... but if you really look you notice that some ---smurfing--- idiot previous owner secured flaking paint with duct tape. It's like the worst case solution. I need a new bg badly too but won't drop the cash on it. Mine is definitely a player, I'm waiting to see if Halifax repros BK playfields. If they do, I go whole hog on reproing my pin... if not, it stays a beaten up but really well working example in my basement. |

Revenge from Mars (pin w/3D holographic reactive display) runners up: This really crazy air hockey table Percussion Master Trog 4-player dedicated used to be my only white whale but now I am sure I can do better that the dedicated. I plan on someday (room permitting) to build a sit down 4-player "Trogs cave" with fake rock styled cabinet and colored egg stools - sort of an environmental piece - with my kit. |

The biggest thing working against me is lack of space. So right now I'm trying to keep my list attainable. Currently on my short list: Williams cab to convert to Shinobi - Just like I used to play. Neo-Geo 4-slot or 6-slot. Great games, only one cab. I'd love to get a pin someday, but the amount of work and money that I see going into these scares me. --- Quote from: am_monkee on March 26, 2007, 05:54:43 pm --- --- Quote from: markt on March 26, 2007, 05:44:56 pm --- --- Quote from: btp2k2 on March 25, 2007, 06:00:06 pm ---I would love to find a Time Soldiers....I loved that game as a kid. --- End quote --- Here you go...http://cgi.ebay.com/WORKING-VINTAGE-1980S-TIME-SOLDIERS-VIDEO-ARCADE-GAME_W0QQitemZ170093448450QQcategoryZ13716QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Only 5 hrs left... --- End quote --- That is quite a story that goes along with that sale. Truth or evil genius plan to illicit sympathy? Hmmm.... --- End quote --- I wonder how you identify an African Green Parrot as the one that was stolen. Maybe by it's vocabulary?Does it say "F*** the Nazis"? --- Quote from: Crax on March 26, 2007, 04:19:32 pm ---An arcade back in the day had a rotating afterburner cockpit game where it moved as you flew. Seemed really awesome when I was young, so would love to try it again. --- End quote --- The deluxe Afterburner was almost as cool as the deluxe OutRun. Then again, maybe you're thinking of R360. You can buy one here for $18,500: http://mysite.verizon.net/res8aiig/R360/R360.htm If I had enough room for that, I'd probably convert my garage to Ridge Racer Full-Scale. |

Are you that confident your parrot would show up in a random location? |
