Someone should at least give this a look if they are out that way, it has a video monitor/game built into it and it looks pretty bizarre!

[DDT]

No Karl. We are going to have an intervention on you soon.

INTERVENTION??? What the hell! That thing looks sweet! At least on oddity factor for sure it would be worth a look! That's the type of thing I would throw in my arcade for sure!!! I'd put it up in the kids party room & probably leave it on free play, just to get kids hooked on pinball. I'm the neighborhood pusher!

Joey, you haven't seen my living room while DDT has. I keep expecting the next Craigslist pinball find I go to check out to really be a reality show set up where Dateline's Chris Harding walks out from around the back of the machine with a camera crew. The first step is admitting you have a problem. I still remember that one morning I woke up with City Slicker in my living room and I had no idea how it had gotten there...

Just don't ever post a machine on craigslist, get drunk, and respond to your own ad with an offer. That's when you know you have a problem.

@NHM You've obviously read at least a few PKD books, my life story at this point is pretty much "A Pinball Darkly"

[Joey9Fingers]

you guys are killing me! Yeah, I guess if you don't have a 5000sqft space to fill "the hobby" can take up A LOT of space!

[inthecan]

Yeah, and the space I miss the most is my mind

[Joey9Fingers]

Yeah I hear you on that one! I swear I hear the sounds of this arcade even in my sleep! I feel like a sell out, we got a Dance Dance Revolution in a few weeks ago & The music from it drives me NUTS! But I was complaing to a friend about it, feeling like a sell out, & he reminded me "Joey Harper CAN'T be a sell-out, He goes where the money is!" Hard to complain when the f$$$ing thing makes $100 a week! Makes me sick that I have to have a pos game like that, but if it pays the power....then how to I complain!

[inthecan]

Looking forward to checking out your arcade sometime soon, you thinking of holding any pinball tournaments?

[Joey9Fingers]

Honestly I would LOVE to build up to that! Problem is, my knowledge is limited & my repair skills are basic! We have about half of our line up down & there is NO tech in our area who has any time for me. The guy who is able to come occasionally is good , but a bit slow & he charges $35 an hour, which I understand is CHEAP...but when you need alot of things fixed it adds up quick. Plus the guy doesnt have any parts, just the knowledge to fix thibgs, so he comes & then I know what I need but money is spent & it still isnt fixed. I'm about ready to just start advertising that I'll give a pin away to anyone who can come & fix the other ones I need fixed! But who wants one of my projects????
