the Bride is repainted and fully functional. I replaced a ball wire gate that reduces ball drains.
This was a lot of work repainting the playfield but it looks great and was very affordable.

BOP

The bottom display was out when I bought it. I bought a direct replacement from Marco Specialties. Sweet replacement part. direct bolt in, no modification needed. Uses less power, runs cooler and dimmable. It is cool to be able to get replacement parts for a toy made in 1991. The dirt is ground into...

Nice buy Jeff! Wedge heads are very collectible. My recent purchase is: The Machine, Bride of Pinbot, it had a display out and it has dirt ground in all the way to the wood. I installed a Pinscore LED display from Marco. Really easy and looks great, the pinscore has the added feature of a built in d...

The Machine, Bride of Pin-Bot

I picked up a 1990 WMS BOP today. I called responding to a local Craig's list ad. I drove out to look at the machine expecting the worse, the price was pretty low on this machine. It actually played OK, the lower LED display is out and it was filthy with a few bulbs out, but the rotating "head&...

That is a real nice machine, a keeper in my opinion. ANd 100 is a steal of a price. I would get this if I didn't own a very nice KC right now. I paid more for mine and still think I got a good deal. This is a very good deal.

So now that you have moved the machines, Hows the back? lol Always a struggle keeping my back healthy. I moved both of these by myself, with the help of a hydraulic cart http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/photos/41100-41199/41145.gif and an appliance dolly http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/photos/3810...

moved pins out of the garage

I finally moved the two pins I had in the garage inside. Twilight Zone and Big guns. The heat and humidity were too much, the BG started to develop a sticky lower right flipper. I moved my trusty old Calcomp plotter out , either to the garage or storage. I re-arranged my home office and now have two...

The coin op laundromats also might have a pinball machine, I have played a few different titles by stopping into laundromats, funny thing to stop in a laundromat while out...

All they have is a Jurassic Park, in the arcade. A park pass is needed to play in the arcade, it is in the middle of the park.

This is the first $.75 machine I found. The rest only take 2 tokens. The odds are good a brand new machine will play fine few people really play pinball anymore. I have played or tried to play a WCS (world cup soccer) in Grandville cinema but a ball was stuck in a bumper and the upkicker was so weak...

Nightmare on Elm street, Freddy

We stopped at a pizza place with an arcade room in Mackinaw City Mama Mia's Pizza. The had a Freddy pinball machine, it was so dusty, I wiped off the glass and I put in buck for a 2 player game. I lost to my wife but hit a match end of the first game, so we played another, and I earned a free game. ...

It is a brand new Stern title placed in a movie theater arcade. Celebration cinema North. Grand Rapids MI. The Mrs and I spent a rainy afternoon at the movies and stopped in the arcade expecting to play a somewhat broken Pirates Of the Carribean but a new SHRECK was in there instead. New game played...

A re-import, well at least the German market keeps the pins in good shape. I bought a Finnish re-import and it was in great condition.
New games are always a blast, even better when they work right away. I had to fix my first few to play them, also a fun and rewarding experience.
