Don't ask, don't tell.

Let's just say somewhere in the southeastern part of the U.S. mid July of last year. Just before the prices skyrocketed. Supposedly the last set he had.

Sheez it's 3:45 am. I gotta go to work tomorrow after the painters get here. Nighty night!

Hey I got the same pinball machine when I saw the first side picture, I knew what it was. Also got one other one, and a slot.

Silverball is the best. I think I blew all my spending money in Summer camp after 5th grade on a machine up in North Carolina.

This Silverball machine was never in an arcade. It was sold new to an individual so the playfield is scweet. No wear at all. Some scratches on the side paint, but otherwise fully functional with the manual and spares. I bought it last year for $750.

A slot machine would be fun. But then again, it's new fun winning your own money!

Regards,

Karl

That's great on the playfield. You invite your freind over to play the slot and take their monies.

BTDT...

Now all I can say is thank god for a "proper" garage! The third bay is currently part filled up with my parts and junk (p-car magazines etc). Zero parts in the house, unless they've just showed up at the front door from UPS.

Only problem is, now the wife wants to clear it out so she can park her "play car" in there. Not a bad idea, if we can rearrange the shelves and cabinets so everything fits.

I'm building a new house at the moment. Two garages. She has her extra wide and deep two car garage for the suburban.

I have my two car garage with a third bay workshop. My total garage space is (including the shop is 875 sq feet). Lots of 220 v, the new BFC will go there. Checkerboard flooring.

You can see some .pdfs of the new house on the my site...

Unfortunately, we just started and we have a year to go.

Right now my garage is so dusty with stripping apart the car that I don't want to keep my new parts in it (even if they are boxed).

I used to have a bunch of car parts in my room too. Moved them all into new shelve in the garage. I usually kept the dirty stuff out of the room. damn, I had a pic of a guy who put his 360 in his living room. hmm, wonder where that pic went.
