Played some awesome pins today

[Kevlar]

Today I drove 100ish miles to a collectors house to view a pin which I am now purchasing from him, and here it is;

Its in pretty good condition and plays great. The cabinet has a few marks and there's the usual wear to the Sanctum entrance.

However, this was the worse condition pin out of all that he had there, all the others looked like they had just come out of the box. He spends thousands restoring them. I got to play them all so I've had a great day.

Very nice Kev. Glad your drive was worth the trip. Now go find that alternate backglass.

That's one helluva collection he has! Glad you had fun playing them and that you bought a great machine.

Cirqus Voltaire;

Hurricane;

Creature with custom playfield artwork

He also had a Party Zone which was in pieces, and a Pinball 2000 Star Wars which was surrounded by boxes so I couldn't play either of those.

The Cirqus Voltaire wasn't very realistic, high wire multiball worked fine and I could look at the back glass during the cannonball game, could look at the plunger when plunging and the balls stayed on the table at all times.

How could you even play it? Did you point this out to the owner?

Congrats Kevlar! What a score!! The Shadow has recently gained a rep as a real player's pinball, and if it was mine I would be DELIGHTED to have Alec Baldwin on the backglass (although it might be more fun to have the older, chubby Alec Baldwin in a "30 Rock" Pin. The tux would still work, but he would have to make room for Tina Fey.)

Thanks for the great report and good luck with The Shadow!

I actually don't mind the backglass at all.

Nice! What you think of The Championship Pub? My new favorite. Whats up with that CREECH!? Who has naked women and kids that close?

Except in the dark it looks like a shrine to him

Not sure about the naked chick but he said the kids and the dog are his kids and dog.

The champion pub was great and as I said earlier it was in absolutely brand new condition, as were all his pins except the shadow.

Congrats on The Shadow purchase. A great table from a guy, Brian Eddy, who designed only three. The other two being insanely valuable now. Nice custom art. We need more naked ladies on pinball machines.

Wish I could play Cirqus Voltaire one day
