This Comes Home Sunday

The only machine that I have sold that I wish that I had not was the Alvin G Mystery Castle.

One showed up on CL and it was local. I went and took a look and the playfield was very very dirty but the cabinet was awesome. I said sold and that was that. I was lucky as there were like 6 other people that wanted to take a look, I was first!

Once shopped this one will be better than the one that I sold. I can not wait to have her back in the collection.

Sorry here is the direct link.

Internet Pinball Machine Database: Alvin G 'Mystery Castle'

There were only 500 made an now I will have had 2 of them.

I think this may be the spookiest machine made, has pipe organs for some of the music.

Only 498 to go.

Congratulations on rediscovering an old friend.

Only 500 made...now that is a limited run. I would say you really lucked out on finding one for sale close to you. Congrats!

[MrGneiss]

I've never heard of that one before, it looks really cool!!

[digital1]

Could that have been your old one again???

Talk about spookey!

It wanted you back!!!

[hanabi]

Obviously you were destined to own one again...

Congrats!!

No I don't think it is the same machine as the other one went to Connecticut and this one has a much better cabinet. In fact this cabinet almost looks new, I could not believe it when I saw it.

One sort of cool feature is during parts of the game the playfield lighting goes out and comes back on red.

This game is a bit underrated because there were so few made an not many people have played it.

I will gets some pics up as soon as I get it home and start the shopping out process.

Well she is home and is very very dirty.

The playfield looks like it was never cleaned since the last owner got her.

Here is the first few pics. I just was working on the middle of the playfield and below the black crud is something very good.

I wanted to see what was the hope for this baby and it is looking good so far.

I currently own 10 pinball machines at this point. I have room for a total of 11 in the basement around the outer wall.

Because of how Theatre of Magic looks am half tempted to move it upstairs to an put it in the corner of the dining room. I really never use my dining table and it takes up ton of space with the leafs open.

I will get some videos up as soon as I am done shopping the machine and doing some flipper rebuilds.

[MrGneiss]

So how many can you fit in the dining room if you take everything else out??

that does look like an interesting pin.i have never seen one before,but you are very lucky to get another of the same machine you wished you hadn't sold,and to get a better one the second time around.especially with a machine that rare.don't sell this one!
