Title: Hokus Pokus Glass - free to anyone who will take it
Post by: sstralkowski on September 21, 2010, 08:04:52 am
I was cleaning out my dad's house to get it ready for sale and found this Hokus Pokus Glass.  I don't know much  about pinball machines, but I figured you guys could help me give this a godo home.  It's free to anyone willing to come and get it.  There is some cracking/chipped paint, but the glass itself seems to be in good shape.  If it doesn't get taken, it's going into a land fill somewhere so someone help me preserve the hobby.  Sorry for the poor cell phone pic.

Ok this sucks, but the corner got a piece cracked off of it in transportation.  Is this thing worthless now?  It's about a 1x2" piece.  I guess what I'm asking is if I should just toss it now.

Build a frame, put a light behind it, and toss it up on the wall.

+1. Even if you don't care for it, I'd bet you could get a pretty penny for a framed, lit version on ebay.

Meh, that requires more effort than I'm willing to put into it.  I just figured I'd hook someone up with it in order to save someone else money and preserve the hobby rather than reduce the number of these in existence by another one.  The guy who initially wanted it, won't respond now so I guess it's getting put out for the trashman.  Mayeb I'll craigslist it first.  Who knows.

Not likely.  I tossed it on craigslist for free and got a few hits.  We'll see how they pan out.

I have no idea how I'd properly package this thing.  I'd rather someone just pick it up and be done with it.  I have someone coming to pick it up likely tomorrow or something and if not, then our fellow BYOAC'er gets a second shot at it.  After that, I'm trashing it.  Not trying to come across as a jerk, but I've got a ton of stuff going on in RL right now and I just don't have the time to invest into something I thought would be an easy pay it forward type deal.
