2 days, One 6'x12' U-Haul trailer, 15 hours of driving (1400 km), $250 in gas, 1 cheap motel = 7 games brought back from a retiring op in 'The Soo' (Sault Ste. Marie). It was all a blur.

I've got some work ahead of me ... but looking forward to it!

Congrats buddy, glad it all worked out at the end of the day.  

If you to have a little investment come back... I'm looking for a Catacomb...

Let me know

Now you can turn off your RSS feed for a few weeks and let us other guys snatch some deals up right?

Nice haul man, very impressed you pulled this off.

What Pins did you get? Are you looking to resell?

Glad to see the hitch paid for itself!    Congrats

I wish I had that much free space in my garage.

Wow, that's pretty exciting.  Let us know what you're keeping and selling, I'd be interested in the Catacomb.

Was this a kijiji find?

Police Force Dibbs! Called it

Ok Kevin it has been officially confirmed you have the bug.

Exciting find!

Very nice find, congrat........keep the pictures coming!

I can't keep everything; that was the agreement I made with my wife when we talked about this road trip of mine. However, I do have to clean them up, fix what needs to be fixed and play them first. Then I'll decide what stays or goes in my current collection. That said, I'm really looking forward to getting Catacomb and TX going first. Then Cyclone, Police Force, and Road Kings.

This wasn't a Kijiji find.

Last November I posted a WTB: Upper Deck backglass on either Mr. Pinball or RGP and this fellow said he had one ... still in it's crate from 1974! We traded emails and he happened to mention he was a retiring op looking to unload his inventory of a tonne of pool tables, jukes, scabby vids and sell the building. He only has two pins left (Black Pyramid, Heavy Metal Meltdown). I was really tempted by the HMM but the playfield is really worn to wood all over. It still had that goofy topper too! I *might* go back; there was a sweet MK2 cab and a couple other oddities.

Ya, I think so. 25 pinball machines and 8 vids in just over a year.  

We'll just wait for you to burn yourself out and "clean house" and help you get rid of those excess machines  

Let me know if you want to get rid of that cyclone!!!!!!!!

We'll just wait for you to burn yourself out and "clean house" and help you get rid of those excess machines  

That happens towards the end of year 2, then it all starts again.

Wanted: TX-Sector in "project" condition... hello!?  

GREAT haul!

Holy smokes Ottogd!

Nice score and I hope to see your TX when ready. If I had that many pins, I would need to use the neighbors garage.

You forgot to mention how many "power drinks" it required....  ....great find, by the way!

Hope you can get it, i already have a pick on a Catacomb, i will get it only in few months

Ya, right, but this trip was a the big reason for getting the hitch in the first place. Just awesome.

Here's a pic of my packing job. The 6'x12' was perfect. I put the Catacomb in the back of my Tucson so there are 4 pins and 2 vids. I guess I could have rented the open trailer but it was supposed to rain on Tuesday and I didn't want to bother with tarps. It would have cost me $75 before taxes for the two days but I had a $20 coupon. There's still room for two more pins if I stacked the vids. I would be a little worried about the weight though; the Tucson is only has a 2.7L V6 and chugged up the hills as is.

ah, that pic is a thing of beauty!

Nice!  So are you gonna tell us where you had to drive to at least?  

I guess the Soo airport is empty now eh?  

I am guessing the chances of two sets of PF and a Catacomb in the Soo is pretty slim. Wasn't there a Roller Disco there too?

Ha! You're right, he did have a Roller Disco that he was parting out; I saw the playfield. He also had a Countdown head with a flaky backglass along with the stripped playfield.

I'll have to post a pic of the coin box he 'modded' for Centipede so it would accept more quarters. Really neat.

i'll take that ms pacman
