Ms Pacman and pinball picked up!!

[Lutus]

Went through my usual routine of looking on the nearby cities craigslist for arcades and pinballs and saw a guy selling a Big Top pinball machine (working, except the score doesn't count) and a non-working Ms Pacman in decent shape.

For both he wanted $150.  Seriously.

Emailed him with my cell number, he called me and all is well within about 10 minutes.

Will pick the machines up on Saturday the 12th.

It is my first pinball by the way!  pretty excited.

Cool.  Don't count it as yours, though, until they are in your truck. 

[Lutus]

Ha, true that.  But I payed a minimal amount for downpayment through paypal and he removed the listing from Craigslist.

But I do know what you mean.

What was his number again? 

[ediblegod]

Cool!
Yeah I LOVE craigs list.
I just picked up a non working SFII cabinet for free last week I found on there.
Took it home and one of the wires where in the wrong spot. Needless to I have a working Street Fighter I got for FREE!!!

I don't think the drive from New Jersey would make it worth your while!

I went and picked up the machines today.  Both were in pretty darn good shape.

I will probably make the restorations into project announcement threads but just wanted to share that I did pick up the cab and the pinball machine and will update soon.

I already have the pac-man up and running again (just need to get a new flyback, HOT, and cap kit for the G07).

The pinball is fully functional, needs rubbers, fixed 2 solenoids already, and I am working on fixing the scoreboard (solid state).

There you go, long story long.
