does anyone know whats in the book for a price for road show??

"only the shadows know"

1825 ...  ( my book is dated 2002 )   /cue in necro

I don't have a book but my guess would be about 2500$Cdn for a nice unfaded one.

Mike

$2050 USD in 2007 Guide

Deduct a $1000 for country music. Oh wait you're out west, add a grand.

Sheesh, I bet he can't tell that it sounds like mess.

thanks,i was wondering on the price because one hit the paper at $3600.so i called and asked him if there was a mistake on the price.so i told him i would trade my congo.

Hmmm. It dropped a hun over a year. Maybe this is why?

"Hey look Ted, Pole eese."

the land of black gold and little taxes. oh yea we owe nothing.maybe canada should take a close look at alberta they might learn something.well off to go put some of that black gold in a barrel.so don't be jealous.you pay pst and we just buy pins,hmmm..sounds like a good country song.so don't cry because you too can move to alberta.another good country song.

Ontario is almost finished perfecting the fusion reactor. It will back to hillbilly land for you folks.

that fancy machine you talk about,it will still need oil.

Nah, just sub atomic particles, and they come real cheap. We will get the hydro to boot it up from our friends in Quebec.

yea pump that into your cars.good idea.just don't run out of hydro because we know thats a fool poof system.when there is a black out ,we will share (our oil) at a price.damm...another good country song

Three words:

Don't make us do it again.

NEP!! Ouch, NEP would cause Western Separatism!  People here really got hurt last time, It would not go over well...

Hey Glen, do you ever play pinball or do you just sit around and b i t c h about it  

Personally I like Roadshow, sure the sound isn't great but it’s a fun game, lots of fun modes, shaker motor, some very unique features between Red and Ted.  Over all not a bad game, but I don't sit there and listen to the music, I actually PLAY pinball instead of over analyzing every little nuance and problem on a machine  

roadshow is one of my least favourite WPC games. however i put a lot of weight on the theme/art/sound package. on those terms roadshow is a real stinker ... keep congo.

Nah, just TAF, Dr. Who, LOTR and whatever else you have there.

Earlier I mentioned about atmosphere of a machine. Well tip toeing through the cow patties is not my idea of a good atmosphere.

The sight of the american flag hurts my eyes. Can you change your signature image to something a little less over-exposed, Glen? Like maybe a Stern or Data East logo?

, actualy Dr. Who is gone, current lineup is:

LOTR - Keepr, never leaving, really a great game
Wh20 - Another keeper
ST:TNG - Another Keeper
RFM - Something about P2K I like, just can't part with it
TAF - Playfield is still out at PFR, i'm sure I'll get it back one day *fingers crossed*
NBAFB - Yea I know, not a great game, but got it cheap, fixing it up and will sell it

And......

Wait for it....

Dr. Who has been replaced with.....

A Gotlieb!!

Haunted House will be the 7th pin at my place, hope to be picking it up this weekend.


So any takers on what smart a** comment Glen will come up with for replacing a Williams with a Gotlieb?  Any takers?  

Good to see you  rounding out your lineup with one of the best GTB titles Adam!  And don't worry about the comments, I've got your back!

Doug

(BTW: the HH you speak of, wouldn't happen to be the one you fixed would it?)

hahaha ivan? How many bottles of wine did he try to offer you to fix his game?

Lol!  He only offered me 1 bottle but that was after I took the cash

No it's not Ivan's, it's Kevin, the guy from Georgetown who has been selling a bunch of his machines.

I owned a RS for awhile.

It was OK, but since the modes were linear (ie. crossing the US from East to West ),
you'd always get the same challenges.

[ Unlike, say, TZ, where any modes is available at any time ]

Only when you got a good game on RS would you get to see the West Coast.
That was the biggest turn-off for me.

The game itself wasn't  bad  (...the dual-plunger lane-diverter was kinda cool ),
and it was always a favorite at parties.

For what it's worth, mine was in very good shape (no wear at all, not even near the scoop)
and I bought and sold it for $2500.

Cheers,
Steph

And we complain when American sellers do not want to deal with Canadians.

You got to work harder than that to get me really fired up. Talk to Phil, he's a pro at it.

see ? I don't even have to say a thing now and it goes *by itself!*

Quoted from newf112

Oh, c'mon! They started it.  

They also built most of your beloved machines.

Canadian pinball would be..... well it would probably look more like Super Chexx.

So what would be wrong with that?

Adam I thought you were a dot matrix pin guy, Didn't you say at one point if it's not dot matrix it's crap
Paul

actually, our friend "pinballwizard" happens to have a "made in montreal" 1949 woodrail   

it's THIS MACHINE


Perfect for your collection Necro!

Well your partly correct. It was built from a previous pin, and where would you think that one came from.

Here is an interesting statement.

"Impetus for the game was a ban on import of foreign pins between 1947 and 1951."

They must be related to cooke.

I could see myself saying that, but its a cool pin what can I say.  

Personally I thought Roadshow was a great game..  even if linear..  

I HATE C&W music but in the context of the game it was perfect.  One needs to have an open mind to get past the type of music though - not everyone has that level of maturity I guess  



I just thought the game was somewhat too easy (as the guys that went to Jim's last MAACA meeting found out).  I kicked a** on it at the tournament - even though I hadn't played for a year.  It's a bit like an old video game - once you know the game you can beat it most of the time..
