Mike, How is the playfield? Does the machine work? Missing boards? I have an idea you may like. I want to take pictures of what I did with a machine with no backglass and bad cabinet and see what you think. Jeff It is an Em and I think it is all there, no actual circuit boards. There is no sounds o...

I wish it was this nice the backglass is shattered. I pulled these images off IPDB.org I figured the for sale posted ones could be pulled and the links would end up broken.

Jeff That is a generous and tempting offer! The Mrs. know I have an itch for a new pin. She even mentioned I had a 'hole' to fill. She quickly tried to retract the statement but too late. I just think the timing thing was a kick in the shins, when I had no room and not much$$ I had a few leads, the ...

Timing is very key to any transaction I...

Thats the sticky point, winning a 'free game' is not free it costs something to play and you never get that back. = NOT gambling. IMHO but some pin headed lawmakers or gaming commissioner dreamed up that loop hole so they could smash and burn a few games. now if you actually won THE game that would ...

I was told that the free game was considered gambling by some(illegal) so the manufactures start making different version of the same games where the bonus was not a free game but would add a ball. So to collectors the same machine was collectible with the free game and the "add a ball" fe...

Jeff, that would be a very smart move, check the law before you move!
We have some strange laws that vary from state to state, heck the liquor laws vary from township to township here in Michigan, regarding Sunday sales anyway.

I am interested in getting one to either get working again or experiment on. I like any pinball machine that is...

A few other good sites are Clays's repair guide http://www.pinrepair.com/em/
and mr pinball classifieds. Note: most people use inflated prices on MR PB. free ads no pressure to sell because re-listing a cheaper price is free.

I took the easy route an...
