Hi there

[Jimmie Dimmick]

Hi my name is James & im from Melbourne

Thanks!

  &  Jimmie

There is a for sale section but need to make 20 posts to see it, so post away....

What sort of artwork are you after?

[Jimmie Dimmick]

My uncle has a couple pinnies and thats whats inspired me into looking at them

He has a Fish Tales which i really enjoy.

also a Fathom, Playboy, 8 ball deluxe and a couple others.

I would like a Fish Tales but with someone in the family having one already it seems a bit redundant,

White Water looks like a keeper and seems like a very popular machine.

I like the look of Twilight Zone and used to play T2, Dredd and Jurassic Park as a kid

the new Tron Legacy pinball looks good

has anyone played on one?

wouldn't mind one of those!

yes played one and they look incredible though game play wise not alot of difference between the le and pro apart from some lighting effects, the moving space craft over the disk and 1 or 2 software differences - daft punk mode etc. You can buy a lighting mod for the ramps but not the same as the le but the pro is great value

did you play it locally?

[swinks]

yes but that was a bit over a year ago now and it has been sold off into someones collection now

In regards to "Mods" at what point is a mod detracting from the original machine.... like LED light kits seem like a beneficial mod...
but after market models and toys on the playfield would they increase any potential value etc?

that is a tough one and in the end to some (purist) it de-values a pin and for others adds value to a guy that likes a tricked out pin

in my opinion a good mod is one that is tasteful to the pin theme and can be removed without damage to allow the pin to be returned to the original condition and just don't clutter the playfield as some people go over the top in filling the area with cheap nasty figurines - but in the end it is personal to the owner. Just be careful if you intend to sell the pin later on as it may reduce your buyer numbers as not everyone will go for a none original pin.

Check out the modded section and people's comments and a good mod is the one that people say that it should be there from the beginning.
