I am looking for project pins in order to completely restore. I don't care on the shape of it. Worn playfields, rotted cabs... they don't scare me. I do prefer classic Stern machines as it is my firm intention to restore 2-3 classic Sterns to bring to Allentown so Cooke and I can play what REAL pinball machines should be. This being said, a Bally can do as well. I admit having played a few classic Ballys in A-Town and enjoyed them. Even cheezy ones like Future Spa.
And when I mean project, I prefer non-working and rough... the type of pin that most would part out. I cannot afford much (Gory's F2K looks awesome, but I can't afford it) but what I have are skills and time. The Dolly Parton I picked up in Allentown is a good example. No boards, no displays, dirty as hell and faded for 80$. If I can rconvert a Profesionnal back to an EK, nothing scares me anymore.
Let me know what you have... I can pick them up.
I am heading for Toronto on May 23rd... if anyone in TO has such a project, let me know.
5 Pins - High Speed(under repair), Diamond Lady,PinBot, STARGATE and ??????(to be announced) 1 Slot - 3 Reel 5 Vids - Golden Tee 2005, Rush the Rock x 2 linked, Area 51-Site 4, Mame(under repair), Megatouch XL 0 Time to enjoy
I would take it and restore it to perfection in a heartbeat... problem is I don't have the money you want for it... yet, anyways. But yes... many know I have had my eye on your ad for a while now. Even you know that. But I don't like to waste people's time when I know I can't afford it yet.

One thing you have to learn... your chances of getting something off of Lespac and/or Craigslist are slim to none. Keep in mind that 70% of people in this group are IT guys. They are on those sites most of the day. I have been actively collecting for years and I just landed my first Craigslist deal 3 weeks ago, because a buddy called me about it. All my other deals are through acquaintances... a guy that knows a guy that knows another that has a pin...

Thats total Bull Crap!!! this morning ,while waiting for my clear to flash I saw a new add on "lespac" well, well something new!! Stern Trident and Bally Atlantis both for 800 bucks! Called up the guy who was 5 min. from work and told him I had my pick-up and cash was no problem. I WAS THE FIRST ONE THERE!!! The trident was real nice,could of bought it alone for cheap but not on my list,the Atlantis was rough with insert wear.... still a good deal but not for me! like I said, The early bird gets the morning worm,.....you snooze you loose!
14 pins Ahhhhh!,2 jukes,mame,table arcade,vendo39,gun game and ROBOTRON ---NO VACANCY!!!--- the Inn is full!
Tell you what Mark... If I end up with 750$ cash with jobs to do on May 23rd, I will commit to buy your Nine Ball.
Hey, all you Toronto members... help Mark sell his Nine Ball, and contribute to the ''Save Allentown from being Stern-less'' foundation.
Well then.... finish my Galaxy PF and you'd have some more $$ in hand for that Nine Ball... (just kidding, I remember the "Don't ask me when it's done" disclaimer very clearly)

You guys are sneaky, making me post...
Actually, it will be done shortly. I took a close look at a nice Galaxy at Allentown to get the inserts right. I got brand new rollover inserts for it. I just need to install them and start touching up. After the TO delivery, I hit the playfields hard. I should be done with all of them before Canada day.
