Title: Electro-magnetic Pinball Post by: Jacko1070 on August 06, 2011, 08:49:50 am Hello all:
Still working on the mancave. Was wondering if anyone else from the Northeast US may have a recommendation for where to find a functioning vintage electro-magnetic pinball machine at a reasonable price. Don't mind going to a dealer as long as they know what they're doing and I won't get screwed price wise. Unfortunately I see plenty on e-bay but not too much around here, and condition concerns me as I wouldn't have the foggiest idea where to begin trying to repair one. Massachusetts is preferred, but Northeast is fine Jack Title: Re: Electro-magnetic Pinball Post by: Kilroy on August 06, 2011, 09:06:52 am Lloyd @CoinopWarehouse he;s in Maryland.
http://www.coinopwarehouse.com/ If you have a Facebook account, search for Coinopwarehouse. He's a straight shooter to deal with, but if you want a machine you see, bid fast, he has a turnaround. He doesn't repair them, or restore them, but for the pinballs that matter, he's the go to guy. You got me thinking it's time to pull my Bally 1976 Captain Fantastic pin and make it the man cave centerpiece Title: Re: Electro-magnetic Pinball Post by: Jim on August 06, 2011, 09:12:03 am Quote You got me thinking it's time to pull my Bally 1976 Captain Fantastic pin Oh, I wish I didn't sell mine some time ago... :oops: Title: Re: Electro-magnetic Pinball Post by: Jacko1070 on August 06, 2011, 09:12:43 am captain fantastic.........That's a great machine!!!

If there is a particular model you are looking for, let me know, i have friends who buy trade and repair, so I can put out the word. Shipping form Detroit to MA prolly about 300-400, a class pinball machine is priceless :) Title: Re: Electro-magnetic Pinball Post by: bremett on August 18, 2011, 12:56:03 am Mr Pinball classifieds is always a good place to try http://www.xmission.com/~daina/classified/search_for_sale.html . There are quite a few pins in Mass on there.
Title: Re: Electro-magnetic Pinball Post by: flippa on August 21, 2011, 08:34:17 pm Try Pinball Wharehouse in Wakefield, MA.
It has been a while since I have been in there, but they had a ton of machines. Title: Re: Electro-magnetic Pinball Post by: Jacko1070 on August 23, 2011, 09:25:52 am Thanks all, I'll do some shopping around and keep you posted..............
Title: Re: Electro-magnetic Pinball Post by: rayg on August 27, 2011, 03:59:21 pm If your going get any pinball is a good thing to see if it comes with the manual and most important a schematic, especially for the EM machines. You can't bet the sound of the score reels racking up your points. 8)
