Hi guys,
Currently in desparate need of a project pin for myself. Preferably something with a pf in generally good shape, but I don't mind a bit of work on everything else. Would prefer something late 80's onwards. I have around $1400 max to spend on this one, but will consider trading my LAH to help along the way.

You can have my 3 spare Gottlieb cabinet/backboxes for a LAH !*!

:tumble:
I've been waiting to use that one!
Hmm, no the LAH would be to put towards a higher end project...I think a bare cab+backbox is a bit more of a project than I was looking for!

Marty - any titles in mind ?

I'm keeping an open mind. I think I wore a hole in Mark's concrete today walking around looking and thinking...
I'm looking for a player's machine....My Police Force was bought unplayed and wow did that pay off. I really really enjoy playing it. So anything similar (by Mr RITCHIE and Mr OURSLER) would be a big bonus. Don't mind if its a Sys11 or WPC, Gottlieb, Bally.

Getaway and WCS94. Both fast and furious. Getaway is a Ritchie pin, WCS94 is a Popadiuk pin.
Most people bag it but I love Demolition Man - my first ever pin. DCS sound and awesome ramp shots. This machine can be had fairly cheaply now I would think. Don't know if you can find these with your $1400 budget though.
What about a Comet, F14, Diner or Taxi? All very good and cheaper titles.

Funhouse or Flintstones.. Check out Wotto's lineup pictures !

Getaway was high on my want list. Cab decals available, plastics available...I pumped serious dollars into it at the Ringwood Bowls when I was a young chap..Mark has a couple, but not sure about $$. They do still fetch a high price..
WCS94...I never really thought about it. I guess I had it confused with Striker Extreme soccer as well and put it in the same bucket...BUT I will definately try to get a play.
I looked at a Demo Man (right before the LAH). I played it for a bit, super clean nice machine (at Marks again) but it didn't grab me.
F14 - Yes.
Diner - I've only seen these with big prices. Have not played one as yet...Waiting for one to pop up at Marks to play. The last one I saw was at BCW well over $3,000...but that was a few years ago now..
Taxi...Yes. Quite similar to Police Force too.
The biggest problem is I've got a bit of the 'I want it now' syndrome....
You're quite right...$1400 wont stretch to 90% of the above titles.....

Yeah, I'd be surprised if you could pick up either a Getaway or WCS94 for under $2k even as a project. Ditto for Funhouse or Flintstones, Diner too I would guess.
Someone might have something suitable they are looking to get rid of.

I suspect the same. Thats why I thought about trading in the LAH..Or I may just have to wait... !*!

Decision has been made. Getaway:High Speed 2 will be my next machine.!

Good Choice - one of my favorite post SS Williams machines !
-
Yep I'm looking forward to finding another 'keeper'.....
Hopefully the LAH will sell quickly (ebayed at moment) which will help towards purchase.
-
Good luck with sourcing a Getaway. This one is on my long-term wishlist. Hope you can find one reasonably priced.

Great choice Marty, great music 'La Grange', the best toy ever put on a pinball machine (other than FG mini pin) love loading the supercharger with all three balls.

I have a project for you...
Have a spare flipper to suit a Getaway only $1400, you just need the rest of the machine :lol
Will keep you going for some time
-

Great offer!, but fortunately I sold my LAH, giving me a few extra dollars which helped towards my new project from Marks again. This will be a long term one, but exactly what I wanted. The biggest problem is now, they're all keepers - T2, Police Force & Getaway. I still want a Hyperball and Flintstones, but a lot more saving before that will happen!
-
I replaced my flippers with cheap ones !*!

I think the LAH you got today needs a few more hours ( weeks ) spent it before you can even call it a project && &&
