[QUOTE="dtown8532, post: 147754, member: 320"] Well. Didn't come home with any pins. :(. Got some new glass for the Firepower though. Twenty five bucks for a sheet was fantastic. My dad did pick up two stripped playfieds for wall art. A Buck Rogers and Xenon for ten buck a piece. The BR actually isn't too bad. The Xenon is decent but has seen a lot of love over the years. I just spent the last two hours removing the staples and GI wiring off the backs and then cleaning and applying a coat of wax. They look pretty good. My dad's gonna keep the BR but I took the Xenon off his hands. Not many deals in the fix er up area. And we arrived there at 12. $2,700 for a Shadow that needed shopped, $1,200 for a Xenon with a worn playfied, $1,100 for an Eight Ball Deluxe with a WHOOPED playfield, $2,200 for Fish Tales with a super faded cabinet, and two hundred for a stripped Centaur playfield that was fairly worn and the guy wouldn't budge on the price. I offered a hundred since Centaur's my favorite pin but no go. At least I talked my dad out of getting some real clunkers. He looked a Time Warp in the flea market for three hundred. I asked the guy if all the boards were there. He told me they were. I told him to open the back box and...low and behold it was missing the MPU and driver boards. Not to mention that most of the coils were frozen up due to rusted plungers. The best deals I saw were a ready to go LED'd No Fear for $1,800 obo and a very nice Johnny Mnemonic for $1,900.
