A jurassic park lost world pin
CathalDub spotted this in a gokart place and i rang them and he sold it too me:D
Went to England for 1000e :rolleyes:
A star track next gen pin
The lad I bought road show off called me out of the blue one day and said his friend shipped this from america years ago and never set it up.
He had plugged it into 220 and it went pop.
Drove down to him the next saturday and took it home!
Belongs to keithgeo now:D
A creature from the black lagoon pin.
A space station pin,
Called a guy about something else and just happend to ask if he had any pinballs.
He said this was holding open a door in the warehouse .
Got up there and he had this and another Star Track nexy gen so I came home with both :eek:
I sold space station before I moved house then bought it back a year or two later.
Kept it for a year and sold it again !
Last one I sold was this sega naomi 18 wheeler.
I've missed at least one sega naomi.Cant remember if I had 2 or 3 of them over the years.
All good arcade memories.0 -

It's quite amazing that you've gone through so many pins, must have some great contacts in the pin collecting scene! I'll have to get in touch with you in the future when I actually have space for one :pac:
Here's the three I've sold.
Started with a Leisure 2000 too, fairly sure this is now in The Thomas House on Francis Street.
Literally knew nothing about arcade machines when I bought that. Decided to flick a switch on the PSU (!) without actually looking up what it was for - of course it changed the input from 220v to 110v and instantly blew - fecking eejit
Mitch gave me a proper switching PSU and I installed it and got it going again.
Had a lovely picture but when it first turned on, the image would pincushion and collapse a few times until it warmed up, definitely needed a cap kit.
Then had this fat bastard of a yolk, which unfortunately never worked due to a broken chassis.
Again, if I'd known now what I knew then I'd have just whipped out the chassis and send it off to Grantspain, hadn't a notion though, probably talking about 15 years ago now!
I think this is now in Ciderman's house, the broken chassis story really lines up with how he got his one.
Would be interesting to see if any of the scuffs on the side line up with his one
Finally, the one I miss the most (and only had for about 4 months), the fattest, heaviest bastard of them all:
Some random lad bought it from me on adverts who I'd never met and have not heard a word from ever again, so feck knows where it is now!
Picture was absolutely gorgeous on this one, but it weighed 110kg and I was moving to an apartment so it had to go.
Was some dream lineup there for a while, always regret not having a beers!

here is a few i sold off. first one is the one i built myself, not too much to look at but a lot of time was spent on it and learned a lot. i ended up giving it to a friend and he sold it on.
This cab i did up last year, it belongs to a friend of mine now.
This Tekken cab i got off Inviere and now its Jack Burtons, it was sitting in my shed taking up space, think i got a bag of meat for it!
A Tetris cab i made out of an electrocoin, I sold this one to Token years back.
The next two i really regert them having to go, BUTi had to sell them to buy the Star Trek The Next Gen pinball. So while i regret i dont own them anymore, i dont for one second regret selling them as im a huge Trek fan.
Original MK2 which went to Token along with the Tetris cab
and my Time Crisis I bought off Mitch, bought a new gun and PCB for it as it didnt come with them and fixed it up. It was perfect, I dont think i actually have seen a better condition Time Crisis than this one. Sold it on adverts... cant remember if it was to a regular, the guy at the time was buying up a good few cabs. If i had the space and money i never would have sold any of these.
There was a few more over the years, a moonbase cocktail I sold to someone on here i think, a couple of Xenons too. and about 10 cabs i got from barn in cork at one stage.
Oh i had a bad cats pinball machine too that i got from a guy up north for dirt cheap. didnt work. i sold that to Mitch. Completely forgot about that one.0 -

I actually haven't sold that much, but I've more than made up for that by making a complete balls of things several times
I did have a few arcade cabinets waaay back but no pictures anymore. These pictures are more recent. Me and man-with-a-van picked up turtles and Simpsons for 50 quid a piece, realised when we loaded them into van they were LADEN down with money, subsequently forgot that fact, couldn't get them up the stairs due to weight, and ended up giving them back. With the full money drawers...
The dude helping to move them wasn't enthusiastic and clearly didn't want to be there at all, and then made a balls up by waiting somewhere else mistakenly for an hour, all adding to the slight panic of being stuck with these machines out on the footpath. More to it, but what a joke, just incompetence!
Also could have had the outrun deluxe for 50 quid, but I more regret owning turtles and simpsons for like an hour before "selling". "D'oh"
Sold a couple of those red intervideo cabinets after being disgusted with it all, just wanted rid. All else went to arcade club in the end.

That AWSD came to Kerbdog as a busted thing, I am not sure what he had to do to get it working again.
It's very underused in my house though, I am thinking of moving it on to someone more deserving... since I got it I finally added a 2 player CP, but it has languished for some time, with little more than a RPi giving it life from time to time.
Get rid of the Pi & put a MISter into it, the cab deserves no less You might be far more inclined to use it then!
(I wince a little bit seeing people using Pi's for emulation, let alone in a cab like this one

Out of sheer curiosity, would any of the regulars here have lived in clontarf-ish area and bought a 2 player, 6 button silverline cabinet back in the day?
With street fighter 2 and a blue X-Men children of the atom? Amongst other games?
Rotating screen, looked a lot like this one here but with silver line marquee and more buttons.
Just to add, I'd be very interested in getting it back!0 -

I'm tempted to buy it off you and stick it back in my parents kitchen for the craic some day while they're out 0 -

I don’t like to sell anything either
I’ll add photos tomorrow
Generic woodie,
Bought as a complete non working project and had great plans for a SF2ce cab, it broke my heart getting a working crt/chassis combo(I’ve still at least 2 tubes and 3 chassis in my house), but got there eventually and sold before I ever finished the project when an Atomiswave came up for sale in December.
Pinball - Cyclone
Bought this again as a full project, someone had stripped it, clear coated it with dirt still on the playfield, every board on this needed a lot of work, finally got it working, hated the game but the fun was in getting it working again, the theme music is embedded in my brain forever. Sold it to someone in Ireland so I’m sure it’ll pop up again. I think at least 4 of these came up for sale in Ireland in the time I owned it.
Pinball - LW3
Bought this again as a project, in fact I bought 2 of them and made one good one, kept it a little while, another one with lots of board issues, broke my heart, every time I turned it on there was another issue to fix, that was kinda fun I guess. Shipped to the UK in November, my wife was delighted to see the back of that one, I parted out the second one and the cab was getting used as a visual pinball.
*I just realised all these machines came from the same person on here, along with 1 more which I’m hanging onto for now
I made a decision a while ago not to buy any more huge projects as my shedcade was basically a workshop for 2 years, I’ll hopefully pickup another pinball this year, probably The Simpson’s Pinball Party or Ghostbusters, unless a Metallica comes up at a decent price, if anyone reading this has any of those 3 or a lead on getting them, PM me, cash waiting. 0 -
I've bought the following cabs and what I did with'em
- 1x BAS UK cab - need a slight cleaning and had the chassis overhauled, that was moved on to CiDeRmAn who I think sold it?
- 2x Sega Naomi cabs - actually bought via Sega UK who put in contact with a customer of theirs. Combined to make 1 good cab which I kept and modded to a sit-down unit - parts left over and not worth keeping got recycled
- 1x Kit Bartop cab - 2P6B CP, wired for JAMMA except for VGA monitor - prob doesn't count, but now sitting in an attic gathering dust
- 1x Atomiswave SD - this is in my workplace getting unloved, had an OK 2P6B CP installed. I think it has a SF2 board in it now - might sell it post-pox
- 2x Sega Dinosaur King mini cabs - re-wired to JAMMA, one now a 2P4B CP and the other 1P6B. I have a 2P6B panel, its just a little tight both kept for now
- 1x Arcade1Up 'Rampage' cab - I didn't intend on getting this, I blame CiDeRmAn. I did add an external USB socket for a keyboard to enter the stock MAME menu on the units and also a brightness pot. Prob should sell
The second Naomi unit wasn't worth saving when I combined to make one good cab.

Does Fibber's still have a Metallica. Last time I saw it it could do with a tidy. Probably not for sale though.0 -
They do, but it’s not actually theirs, it’s an operators and I know him, I message him every month, some day he’ll cave, I’m 1st on the listDoes Fibber's still have a Metallica. Last time I saw it it could do with a tidy. Probably not for sale though.
Last time I was in there the sling shot rubbers had snapped and it was basically unplayable0 -
