RE: Quick Pinball Buying Question

[santeh]

Hello all,

I have a quick question regarding buying pinball machines. I am currently looking for a Twilight Zone and was wondering. Besides operators, eBay, and Craigslist is there any other place to look for one being sold?

Thanks!

TZ pins can be very hard and/or expensive to find, but they are great machines and have a few very cool mods that can be done to them to enhance the user experience. The sources you list are the big key resources, however the usenet group rec.games.pinball is flourishing with people selling all sorts of pinball units of all ages and systems (even electromechanical units).

I'd check there. You usually get to hear me moan around there when I blow something up (heck, even here sometimes)

I would also check the Mr Pinball Classifieds.

Thanks!!! I have been a pinball guy for the last 10 years and am just now exploring the world of Pachinko and Pachislo (I like anything with flashing lights and mechanical stuff). Oh, and santeh, if you find a Twilight Zone and need any help with anything, I have had one for a couple of years and know a good bit about it.

Mr pinball has a couple listed. http://www.xmission.com/~daina/classified/search_for_sale.cgi
The Steve guy in Grand rapids has been flakey, up and down and back up on his price and the machine is not that nice from what I have heard.
Most games can be fixed up like new if the playfield is good. almost everything else is replacable. You probably can get a new playfield and I know a guy in Battle creek who restores playfields and has rave reviews.
I bought my Tz from him $2400 I think.
