Phantom of the Opera

Again, a very cool theme.  I don't come across these very often but have played it and enjoy the gameplay.  I like the Data East games - similar to the Playboy I have and the Secret Service I had.

I found one just outside of Edmonton so bought it an brought it home. 

I think I overpaid by a couple of hundred as it needs work.  And the backglass is OK but not 100%.

Still we will fix it up and play it.  No worries.  The backglass is super cool because it lights up and you can see the Phantom's grisly face underneath the mask.  Plus the music is very heavy and gothic.

Stargate

Stargate was a cool movie from 1994 I believe...

I found a pinball machine on that theme and played it a bit.  It was pretty cool. 

I vowed if I ever found one for cheaper I would buy it.

And today I found one and added it to the collection.  It's made by Gottlieb in 1994.  There are a few issues - the DMD has 2 dead lines right in the middle and the spaceship doesn't come out of the pyramid.  I haven't played it very much.  It's in the garage warming up.

But I think I can fix it and get it back to 100%..... Stay tuned!  Lol.

Happy Halloween

So I picked up a new pin in Vancouver - The fact that it came up for sale on October 31 seemed kind of perfect.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Superman flies away

I sold my Superman.  It was never going to get all of the work done to it while it was here.

Bummer.  But the garage is a bit less full.

I can't wait for the mods for Creature to get here - I will clean it at the same time I install the LCD in place of the 3D creature.  Should be cool.

More info to follow.

Cleaning

Today I cleaned and waxed Monster Bash.  I removed the ramps to do it.  It probably took me 3 hours.

It plays excellent now - very fast and fun.

I also bought the Creature mod from PinballMikeD.  It uses an LCD screen in place of the hologram.  I have the tv - just waiting for the mod to come in the mail.  I will update when I get it installed.  I will probably clean the machine at the same time as it is grimy.

Monster Bash

I found a monster bash in the USA.  I got it for a good price.  I really liked playing the game at the Northwest arcade and pinball show - never thought I would own one.

It is in pretty good shape.  Just needs some love and a good cleaning.  No keys so I have to replace the locks...

Bye Bye

Sold my T2 Pinball.  Wasn't getting played all that much - kind of a repetitive game.

So BuhBye
