I'm baaaaack
Spent a week @ the Venetian, got married, drank until I forgot, ate until I was sick, shot machine guns, drove a dune buggy, saw lake meade/grandcanyon/mojave from a helicopter, rode in 3 limo's that I can recall, blacked out on the rooftop 52 stories high outside, played a $750,000.00 pinball machine & ate @ Hash house a go go (from the show "Man Vs Food") & to top it off I will be @ CP's with some Blue Moon this Saturday night.
But I missed a TZ for $800?

Damn, all I do is drink and gamble in Vegas. We're planning on going next spring for the 10 year anniversary. We got married at the Flamingo, but it wasn't as eventful as yours.
PW79, why don't you go scout that Fish Tales for me in Lake St Louis, you're a lot closer than I am. Dude is not real forthcoming with details and photos. I don't know why you bother listing on Ebay & CL with a description this vague and 1 photo taken from across the room:
Williams Fish Tales Pinball machine for auction. Private seller so no fancy listing--just a reasonable price. Check out all the fancy listings out there, I have the same game. Recently serviced by professional technician. All modes, targets, gates and progressions work properly. Big fish works, ramps work, ball locks work, multiball and video modes all work. Very pure playing machine. One light bulb is out on the stretch the truth meter and the 3 inch cosmetic piece on casters club has been removed. Free play but can be converted. I have keys.

Got the Jeep out of hock. Could've bought a crappy pinball (or a significant upgrade) for what it cost me. New ball joints, u joints, caster adjustment and replaced brake lines. The good news is the mechanic said I did pretty well on it. The lift was solid and correct and the offroad add ons were pretty costly. But most importantly, it doesn't scare the sh*t out of me at 45 mph anymore.
JeepMonkey:
Nice score! :cheers:
One thing I really like about the CJs over the TJs is the lack of plastic panels. I wish I had the metal dash.
