« on: July 24, 2013, 03:35:39 PM »
was speaking to one of the guys at Highway Entertainment in Newcastle today and was telling me that in earlier September is there next shipment of pins.

in the past these pins tend to come from Japan but not sure on these as didn't ask

what is coming is
- Elvis
- Elvis Gold
- Lord of the Rings
and about 13 x 90's Bally / Williams pins.

contact them if interested.

Strange that they don't have any pinballs for sale listed on their website, they don't even appear to have a section for it?

I'm guessing they haven't really focused on pins in the past maybe until now?

They tend to get them now and then, rather than import jobs they are usually units that have been removed from site and traded in by ops for something more lucrative (redemption machines).

Nothing for quite a few months though (a Tron Pro just removed from site was the last I remember).

correct, they tend to be the broker for on selling Gold Coast Timezone machines I think and deal more with arcade machines and pins is the side liner every no and then

just another place to check every now and then but they sometimes take names for machines but a first in best dressed when they land and normally known for decent machines.

Thanks for the list Rotty.

With the combined efforts of other sellers, this would bring the quarterly pinball importation number to 200+ pinballs!

Yeah nice.
Was that comment really necessary?


Not all those games appeal to everyone but more pins the better. :)
