(put on my car-salesman sports jacket, sunglasses and toothpick in mouth) Well Jim, if it isn't a question of money, and you are willing to finance at 10% interest over a year (try to get THAT these days...), TZ, TOTAN or No Fear are interesting for me...       (remove car salesman outfit)

BTW... what other titles fall in the "etc..." category? I am currently pinless and hurting...

  yep.  i bet jim has a couple pm's like this.  i know i sent him one earlier today.  

Cooke is BANG ON....honestly though I would keep them all if space allowed...and if the wife liked to play! I have thought about just keeping a storage unit and rotating them in and out of the house, but I think its a damn shame for machines to sit and not be played, so I can't do it..and Mike...you probably haven't seen the last of my FINAL messages...recently though I've been spending alot of time with my stores and family, so the Pin inventory has crept up again as I've done some buying ( which is EASY) and haven't put any effort into selling, except for a couple of EBAY sales. Financing???  SURE!!!  I have a couple of old baseball bats I could dust off just in case...seriously I wouldn't mind although I'd rather $$ up front.

Some are listed on my price list in machines for sale...BSD $1900..RS..$2500....HR Casino..$2500..etc..............

Damn it... my pride got the best of me... I just can't get myself to take now and pay later. My thermometer top was either TZ or RBION... damn it, I guess it wasn't meant to be.  

Sparky, I know the feeling, I finally broke down and bought BK2K on a "plan" (though I don't take delivery until it's all paid for). I'm spending more and more time and money on Williams machines... sigh, I used to be such a Gottlieb fan ....

Good move.  Didn't want to say anything earlier but going on a plan is  a BAD idea...  Been there, done that, learned my lesson.  Usually the novelty wears off WAYYY before the machine is paid off...  Then what..  You can't really sell it since you don't really own it yet..  Also, in order to keep your friends, you usually keep money OUT of the equation..
