Level42:


Not working. And picking it up will be a 15 hour round-trip.  :scared :scared       I didn't expect to win it really.......
I think if I would sell the cone buttons only I would get about the money that I paid for the machine :D

But I LOVE MC. I played a very cabaret like that when I picked up my Meteor. It's a very nice little machine :D

Q*Bert_OP:
You don't need rehab...yet. Not until you've spent $30,000 US Dollars on pinball machines, including $4000 to fix up a machine you spent $2500 on. (That would be my Twilight Zone pin, new cabinet art, new ramp, NOS playfield, NOS plastics, a ton of other parts and pinball rebuilding supplies, etc.)

Rehab is meant for people who _could_ get back to being normal. You my friend, are a lost case  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

JeepMonkey:
15 hours away  :dizzy:.  You must really like that game.

How much will this cost you in gas?  How many countries to you travel through?

shardian:
Damn dude, you do need help. I wouldn't drive an hour for that if it was free!
