List the games you currently have in your collection and your favorite title.

pinballwizard79 · « **Reply #1 on:** April 09, 2009, 11:12:56 pm »

I currently own just 4 (for now)

1993 Jurassic Park, DE
1993 Tales From The Crypt, DE
1994 WWF Royal Rumble, DE
1987 Time Fantasy, WMS

Favorite...............impossible since each one plays so differently.

I dont really have a "favorite" or "top 10" list because I am so unbelievably & ridiculously spoiled for having access to 50 machines which include all the collector titles, NIB Sterns & everything in between with rotating inventory. I almost feel like Ive played every DMD ever made (of course I haven't but it feels like it).

Jurassic Park - The Lost World

That is all I have right now, but I am looking to add to it when I get back home.

HaRuMaN · « **Reply #3 on:** April 10, 2009, 10:21:34 am »

1971 Spanish Eyes

ChadTower · « **Reply #4 on:** April 10, 2009, 10:47:31 am »

Right now:

Fathom
Black Knight
Revenge From Mars
The Shadow
Laser Cue
Rack 'Em Up
Dragonfist
Sinbad

My preference really rotates among them and half of them are stored while I "make progress" on the basement anyway. Lately we've been playing mostly RFM in my house with some Shadow thrown in. RFM is the newest game, though, so that's pretty much why.

1979 Bally Space Invader.

Only pin right now but looking to add another when I get this one fully fixed.

Cyberflexx · « **Reply #6 on:** April 10, 2009, 03:52:50 pm »

1979 Gottlieb Buck Rogers - work in progress
1985 Sorcerer
1977 Gottlieb Vulcan EM - almost finished!

I would say right now my favorite is the Vulcan although I havent played it yet. I am about 95% done with it.

Flake · « **Reply #7 on:** April 10, 2009, 04:27:47 pm »

Demolition Man, non-working claw and all.

The pin rocks though, I love it. Looking to add the swear roms soon.

Zero_Hour · « **Reply #8 on:** April 12, 2009, 12:04:24 am »

That Seawitch looks awesome.

I've got a collection of one - Attack From Mars. Wife says I can look for another once I get our 53 Seeburg Juke restored. I'm a sucker for DMDs, and hope to find a Tales of the Arabian NIghts when it comes time. That should really get me working on the Juke, but I've got a bathroom remodel currently holding that project up for now

jscott3093 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 15, 2009, 02:43:48 pm »

My current collection includes

Pins:
1.Terminator 2

I would buy more but I am running out of room.

koz319 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 17, 2009, 03:44:29 pm »

The Addams Family
Creature from the Black Lagoon

Next pin will be either Twilight Zone or Cirqus Voltaire, I'm just waiting for the right deal on either one that's somewhat local.

(Unless of course a deal pops up on something else that catches my fancy first

)

Cakemeister · « **Reply #20 on:** April 17, 2009, 11:30:26 pm »

Cakemeister · « **Reply #21 on:** April 18, 2009, 06:16:15 pm »

No, I bought mine from a guy in Dallas.

Charles4400 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 19, 2009, 04:20:40 pm »

-Star Trek Next Generation
-Addams Family

Put alot of work into the Addams Family so right now that has all my attention!

Next pin I think would Be Terminator 2 or Judge Dread...can't afford the big name titles right now.

LLUncoolJ · « **Reply #23 on:** April 20, 2009, 03:50:30 pm »

Just picked up my first, an Earthshaker. Love it so far...once I got my 'ajstment failure' issue worked out. I'm already looking for my next target. I would consider anything 1986 or newer for the right price. My wishlist includes Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park.

I'm jealous!

I own:

Sinbad

I would like to get more SS machines but I have no clue on where to start for general repairs. Anyone out there recommend a good Pin restore resource for beginners?

This is a great site for repair tips: http://www.marvin3m.com/fix.htm ...and especially here (within site listed above) if your thinking of 1990's Williams/Bally Games : http://www.pinrepair.com/wpc/index.htm

I bought this book before getting my first pin, I now know its kinda outdated but gives a reference for parts and how they generally work: http://www.aboutpinball.com/pinball-machines-repair.htm

These videos ae pretty good and cheap , $8 shipped! I have top#3 & #4. A great reference and shows you how to by demonstration on multiple machines. Great value imo: http://www.marvin3m.com/top/

& Of course the forums!

The most useful tools I've found to repair are soldering iron, desoldering iron, 60/40 rosin core solder, 1/4,5/16, & 3/8 nut drivers get thin walled hollow ones).

I learned pretty much everthing I know about repairs while fixing up a TAF I got in. It's not too bad to do and the sense of accomplishment is great after getting something fixed!

Anyway getting off topic....back to what pins you own!

grbgemen · « **Reply #26 on:** April 21, 2009, 03:58:34 pm »

Only one right now.

Genesis

Gonna look at a Funhouse here in about a week.

Dazz · « **Reply #27 on:** May 25, 2009, 11:46:58 pm »

1969 - Road Race (EM) - D. Gottlieb & Company

Jeff AMN · « **Reply #28 on:** May 28, 2009, 05:09:47 pm »

The Simpsons - Data East
Jurassic Park - Data East
Twilight Zone - Bally
Jackbot - Williams

My favorite pin is a tie between TZ and The Addams Family. I'll be hoping to add TAF soon, but I need to rearrange the game room first and free up a little bit of cash.

JonProphet · « **Reply #29 on:** June 09, 2009, 12:08:04 pm »

Jurassic Park - DE
The Machine: Bride of Pinbot

Currently looking for my third while completing a quick and dirty refresh on my mylar removed BoP. New decals and new mylar along with some new posts and what not. I also am getting a new pachinko playfield that I've made. If anyone needs one let me know, I have decals and the playfield.

Q*Bert_24/7 want to stop hogging the good ones and sell some.

Dr. Who
Star Trek 25th Anniversary
Sinbad - should be delivered next week

Dr. Who is my favorite, I've had the game for over 10 years. Star Trek was my wife's idea, as she's a big fan of the original shows. After going to this years pinball show I wanted an older pin, hence the Sinbad. It needs some work, but there's plenty of info out there so I think it should be pretty easy.

I'm actually thinking of selling a couple vids to get more pins, but my showcase is the only thing big enough to make room for more. I'd have a hard time selling it since I made it myself. I might just make the spot that Sinbad will be in the 'rotating pin' space, and swap machines out until I find another 'keeper'.

ChadTower · « **Reply #32 on:** June 28, 2009, 09:55:19 am »

So that's three guys now with a Sinbad?

driph · « **Reply #33 on:** June 30, 2009, 07:31:56 pm »

1979 Gottlieb Count-Down, restoration in progress.

macrho · « **Reply #34 on:** July 05, 2009, 04:21:25 pm »

Only one so far: Judge Dredd

Paul Olson · « **Reply #35 on:** July 05, 2009, 04:25:58 pm »

My first pin was a Space Invaders, but I sold it to buy a High Speed. I also have 2 Allied Liesure cocktail pins.

High Speed is one of my all time favorites. I hope to add STTNG and Pinbot in a couple of years. My budget is not very pin friendly at the moment.

Visitor Q · « **Reply #36 on:** July 06, 2009, 08:45:04 am »

Current Collection is now officially:

Safe Cracker
Monster Bash

Flake · « **Reply #38 on:** July 13, 2009, 04:01:34 pm »

Just bought a Cyclone I'll be picking up in 2-3 weeks.

1. Demolition Man w/swear roms
2. Cyclone

Jeff AMN - thats a pretty sweet collection you have going there BTW.
