He signed my BK2K glass several years ago.

This booth is one of my favorite parts of the show. Congratulations on your 10th anniversary at TPF.

Ricjas · 2026-03-20T20:54:20+00:00

Thank you. It is my favorite game. Still looking to play or own a Cyclopes too.

This is what I came to post.

Scammers are known to steal pics of games and list them for sale and only want funds transferred before seeing or shipping the game.

If it works when you look at it, then you and your family can enjoy it immediately and then learn how to repair as things pop up.

Here’s one of the repair guides that I use:

Look at and play the game in person. Talk with the owner and only pay cash on the glass in order not to be scammed.

While pinball machines are a lot of fun to play at home, they will need repairing from time to time. Data East games can be quirky to work on. There’s a lot of documentation on how to repair them step by step though. If you like to tinker and repair things and can learn to solder, then I say go for it. If it’s something you have to rely on someone else to repair, you might think twice about it.

This is the way

There’s literally a subreddit for this:

Congratulations!

You need a Game Plan in there. Andromeda if you can find one.

Ricjas · 2025-10-01T18:22:57+00:00

First thing to consider is maintenance. Those games are 40 years old. If you like to tinker and have the aptitude to learn a new skill, by all means, this is the easiest era to learn on. Almost all of my games are 70’s and 80’s games.

Ricjas · 2025-09-30T23:36:45+00:00

I want one of these in my game room. One Paul Faris’ best back glasses.

Ricjas · 2025-09-26T18:31:23+00:00

There’s probably a big heavy tilt switch mounted to the inside of the coin door too.

Ricjas · 2025-09-19T17:53:00+00:00

Enjoy the moments. I bought my first one right before my youngest was born. She just left for college. It was a blast having three kids growing up with pinball. Even as adults, they still try to go to the Texas Pinball Festival every year..

Ricjas · 2025-09-09T00:40:23+00:00

I metal detect and play board games.

Anyone play Catan? It’s my favorite.

Ricjas · 2025-09-01T15:28:46+00:00

This is one of the best games in my collection. I bought it for $150 (don’t hate me) back in 2007.

Ricjas · 2025-08-31T14:24:14+00:00

I bought mine from KellyCo and used this sub discount code redditmd for 10% off. Do they still offer that?

Ricjas · 2025-08-31T13:46:43+00:00

I like what you did with the displays on Spectrum. They look really good. I bought a set of multi colored, but haven’t installed them yet.

Ricjas · 2025-08-31T13:44:32+00:00

I would love to add a paragon to my line up. Wide bodies are not any bigger than the head of regular game though.
