looking to buy a POTC in the next couple of weeks but I have to sell my Nascar first, I have a sale pending with another member of the board, so as soon as he picks it up I will be ready to buy I have cash in hand now and I'm adding AF to the list of wanted
-
Yea i have had this game 2x and i am still wanting it a third time
-
nobody has POTC they wat to sell?
-
you could always call glazier amusements in clearwater, and ask if they want to sell the POTC out of the varsity club on us19/sunset.
last time i played the pin it was actually in fairly good condition.

I'm kind of hoping to find one that was never out on route

I would wait.....There is a rumor that Stern is thinking about releasing a POTC LE with a mechanical Kracken attacking ship(Not the plastic pos)
Suppose to be in time for POTC 4....

Ah crap. And I was saving up for the possible TRON. Grrrr.... Well, since it is the summer that I can buy my annual pin I get to wait and see what happens....

if i had to choose a weak point for any pinball, i'd take stickers (that are available) first and foremost :)
***if this deal happens, i would naturally expect an 8% buyers and sellers premium, as that's how i roll. hey, it's cheaper than SA, and i won't report you to the tax authority. j/k.
-
I would agree. If the games you look at have good plastics, dmd, electronics/boards, etc and the decals are available, that is way better than a nice cabinet and a chewed up playfield, gassing display and a bunch of board hacks.

i don't disagree with what you are saying, but installing new decals is alot of labor...many hours sanding/scraping off the old silkscreen image, filling all digs, scratches, etc, sanding /primering it - after all that then you get to actually install the new decal.

i would do all that with an arcade control panel overlay, but (since i don't know), are the pinball decals that thick where you cannot lay them on the old decal without it being obvious? seems like it would be as simple as tinting a flat piece of glass, but as i've not done it, i could be way off.
i'd still take cabinet fade over playfield wear anyday :)

lol you guys are funny. this is all true but in this case bob wants a nice machine that doesn't need anything :)
-

another board member is on his way for T2 I could actually get something NIB if I wanted to, what a decision to make two used pins one new pin
-
NIB! you have to do it once in your life :)
-
and if I don't like it?
-
and if I don't like it?
then you'll need this to soothe the pain:

i'm playing stern's TRON before i buy it ;)
-
;D
-
T2 has left the building
-
and if I don't like it?
Regardless, if at all possible, play before you pay. If you know a title you might like (NIB, old, whatever)-ask around. There are several people that will let you try out the games so you can get a feel for the title.

That car look like it came from up north with all salt, snow, and dirt. Thats a dirty car for down south :)
-
Great pics ! Looks like a really nice guy who bought your T2... Congrats !
-
another member of the board got it, Taygeta and he is a nice guy
-
Yes Taygeta "is" a nice guy.... I'm a friend of his. I'm currently refurbishing a BoP for him.
Looking forward to playing his T2 !

If I keep this up I am going to earn myself a title as the wildest person for moving a pin. Not a ding or scratch, I am ridiculously lucky so far. I top the T2 pin move the very next day. 3 hour roundtrip to Clermont (what a bizarre area........HILLS IN FLORIDA!?!?!!?) with this setup.

Either one pin at a time or a U-Haul, no question next time. I can't be this lucky a 3rd time.
-
looks normal to me..

Bob told me about that car, I couldn't believe it. 300lbs pressing down on such a compact car at that angle must make for some bizarre handling compared to normal. I'd love to see you moving a pin in that, just to see it done.
I am looking at trading my VW bug in soon, anyone have suggestions for an ideal small/slim vehicle for moving a single pin? Was hoping to avoid a truck as I don't haul anything else and wouldn't warrent the poor MPG, even in a diesel around town. Van I don't have enough people coming and going from my house to use day-to-day. Jetta sportswagen would have been perfect, if there'd been just a handful of inches to spare off the bottom. Looking for something similar to it, I think I remember reading about a guy talking about a Honda of some sort for pins, but can't find it on google again.

the crx has really toned my craving down. i had a ford F150, a jeep cherokee, and a dodge ram in the last 2 years...all failed (all high mileage with poor previous ownership), so decided to stick with a cheap car.
this little car kicks butt, it handles as well empty as it does with a pinball and 75 pounds of parts. wind resistance killed me on this pickup, though, but only 20 miles:

this trip was 200 miles. the classic bally/stern pinballs fit quite well in the crx:

YOU CAN DO IT! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hjqrxfvJ0A#)
honda element, plymouth cruiser, honda accord wagon, toyota cressida or corolla wagon, volvo wagon have all been confirmed as good pin haulers by board members.

Either I don't put enough faith in those standard straps or you guys are fearless.
Is there a certain amount of feet an object can stick out of a car before a cop can ticket you for it? I was worried when passing a few sheriffs on the way home with T2. When I see people throwing things together on standard trucks, rarely is there anything as heavy as a pin sticking way out the back, much less out a car.

my second pin move, i actually left the front legs on, hanging off the back of the truck. seemed to be easier for me, plus a short distance. after that one, though, i took the legs off every time, and pushed heavy parts towards the cab.
i hate to say it, but i enjoy the repair, the refurb, the chase and the negotiation more than owning the game. i do like this form of art, as it's not some lame picture hanging on the wall, but actual enjoyable art.
i've picked up heavier loads for closed business recycling, and i'd estimate @600 pounds worth of old IT equipment has been in the crx. i used to move plotters in the f150, 2 at a time. those are tricky loads, as they are top heavy and can't be laid down.
i don't think you would get ticketed by someone with more than 6 months on traffic patrol, but some cops are weenies, so it's possible. if you want to be legal, throw a red towel/flag on the end of it. sooner or later i'll buy 2 classic pins, so that pic will be nice (1 inside, 1 on roof). almost happened on a kissimee trip recently, but a farfalla seller flaked out.
pinfever and i hauled a huge and heavy midway loaded cabinet from orlando to boynton beach, 1/2 in a truck with topper, 1/2 sticking out over pavement. 1 strap to speak of. no tailgate. several board members saw it, bets were being placed on when and where it would fall off on i95. that wasn't my worse load, though. my worst mistake was a centipede and a tron standing up in a ford ranger. every overpass, i would get wind gusts that pushed my truck a lane over no matter what i did to prevent it. ;D i will never move a heavy ass atari arcade game standing up in a small truck again.
and as long as you take the head off, or lay it down, pins are pretty easy to move.
the right straps are priceless. mick can chime in, he's moved mountains of games as well in the bed of his truck. my f150 top load was a pacman, a classic pinball, a candy cabinet, and a taito cabinet. i love the challenge of the crx the most, though.
we've got nothing on the people who load up a 100 tires on p/u trucks down here in south florida. they're nuts.

I've hauled cars on trailers when all I had were the standard straps just kept making sure they were'nt stretching once in awhile
