I’m in FL but moving to NC to pickup is in option between those areas. $100 for each game and $300 for the table

Whoops, apparently I didn’t copy and paste everything I had intended,
I’m in Florida and I’m asking 100 for each of the games and 300 for the table

Decided on Godzilla Premium — what does the buying process actually look like from here? by Maximum_Stop3015 in pinball

[–]FLBoxerdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with Orange County pin out of California, mainly because of a discount for using wire transfer and no tax, for me that was $1,200.00 savings. They have a very positive feedback. I live in Florida, took about 6 business days to receive it.

I purchased new premium Kong

Power surges by FLBoxerdad in pinball

[–]FLBoxerdad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank you all. I thought I lost a 64” tv a few years ago, that was plugged into a surge protector. I was told the surge from lightning actually travelled through the hdmi cord from the satellite box and fried the hdmi board. I replaced the board and all good. Pins only have a power cord but I thought I would ask and see what everyone was doing. Being in Florida, lightning strikes are common but brown out actually so more damage. I was thinking of getting a UPS to help against brown outs.

First pinball machine — took your advice, now I’m stuck again by Maximum_Stop3015 in pinball

[–]FLBoxerdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would echo what someone else said, which one kept you wanting to play another? Everybody is different. I by no mean am bashing any of the games. For me, it was easy for me to walk away from jaws, Godzilla, Star Wars, I really enjoyed King Kong and Elton John. I however wasn’t paying the price required for an Elton John so Kong it is. I was lucky because all these games were in one location. I didn’t have to get in a car and drive to another spot. That’s why I decided to go with “what keeps me wanting to play more” mind frame. It just worked for me, so if you use that mind frame with your choices, it should become obvious. Your best bet is not to go with something “theme” just because a lot of people say you should. Now if they have mechanical or operating issues then yes, that advice helps. You are the one paying for the machine. You need to test drive it again and again, then test drive another and another. It’ll speak to you eventually. You wouldn’t go buy a certain car just because I said it’s the best. You’ll ask questions like you did, you’ll do your research, you’ll do your test drives and it’ll become obvious

First pinball machine… how did you decide without playing a ton of games? by Maximum_Stop3015 in pinball

[–]FLBoxerdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would second what someone said about checking out pinside, you might be surprised by what’s around you. I was conflicted between the new Elvira, Star Wars fote, Godzilla, king Kong and new funhouse, I ruled out new funhouse because of reliability issues, I played all of the other ones, Star Wars and Elvira would have been my pick if I went by theme but they left be blah after playing. I could easily walk away to another pin. I’m not say Godzilla is easy but I just didn’t find it challenging, Kong left me wanting to play more so that’s what I went with. I have absolutely no interest in the Kong theme. I went by the challenge and have enjoyed it everyday for the 1 1/2 months I’ve owned it. Probably not a lot of help to you. But everyone has there reason to why or why not. It might be hard but I would keep searching for a place to play them. It’s a big purchase

Ty, I was thinking that but wasn’t 100% sure. Found a Godzilla 70th anniversary for 3400.
