My three newest finds

[alphaminor]

There was a lack of good machines popping up on the local CL when suddenly an ad with this picture popped up!


After a bit of hyperventilating a bit, I composed myself and contacted the sellers and found out that the "Julie Darling" ,as they called it, had already been claimed by another person but the Super Stadium and pink panther were still for sale
Well I've always been after a stadium machine and took a trip down to Cleburne
After arriving and showing the seller quite a bit about the machines ( and getting to toss a few balls through the Julie ( that had a pre-sold sign attached )

Needless to say when I was given an offer to take the two remaining machine for $200 for both it was a bittersweet victory indeed
So I packed them up and headed home
Then about two days later
An ad pops up with the Julie for sale for quite a bit more that it was originally listed $ 650 to be exact ( or make an offer)
I immediately knew they had been lurking on the site and saw The last Julie that sold through this forum was listed at that price
Well fortunately I had just gotten paid from a job I did last year and had actually forgotten about ( so it was kismet ) after several days of negotiating ( me begging pretty much )
I was finally able to get it to a more reasonable price ( but it won't go down as my best "bargain" that's for sure)
And now after a three and half year hunt I am finally the proud owner of a Julie pinball

Forgive the grammatical errors I made on my thread ( I noticed my story dropped off there in the middle)

Congrats Alpha! Glad you finally got your Julie. Sometimes we have to pay a little more for that one thing we want most. Its fate testing the strength of our desire.

And what gives with the super stadium? Is the spinner stuck and that's what caused all the balls to "clog" up?

How funny! I forgot I took that pic because of the jam,
it was the result of nails being bent too close to each other and cleared right up, with a quick tweak!
all the machines are in Excellent shape and work great

Just hit my first fever on the Julie,
Wow! It gave me the chance to control the flippers while it sent 5 or 6 balls onto the table all at once
Very fun and exciting, though I failed to achieve the goal within the time given ( I assume the center will pop up allowing the balls to go inside)
Can't wait to try again

What a great machine , it lives up to the hype

Good luck with it! I, as well as many here, will never forget that feeling of getting what you hunted for!!!

It was Cutie Honey for me!

I have always wanted to know if "Julie was all she was hyped to be".
