    Not working (yet), but a steal for only $50. I replaced a bulb in it, and it shows signs of life, just need to do a little research. Here's what it looks like when you power it up...



    The background's in great shape, the light really makes a difference. The discolored rectangle over the monitor is the color overlay, it's not centered (or even right side up, for that matter), but until I get more than just 'garbage' on the screen, it's not that much of a concern...

    So lomo, what's your gig? You have a good connection somewhere in the cabinet industry or just find 'em yourself?

    I've been looking around for a Next Generation pinball machine, but can't find one for under $1300 or so..

    Damnit. Too many geeks out there I guess.

    If that's all the motivation I had to get it working, Schmed, I think I'd just leave the damn thing the way it is...

    zeek: I just find the them... or they find me. I've been collecting them for almost five years now (started out with one, had it for a year or so, it broke, fixed it, then started collecting more and more of 'em).

    They've really started to come out of the woodwork here lately, I just talked to this chick who has a Centipede with a broken trackball - I'm trying to talk her out of it...

    If you're looking for pins, good luck... They're expensive as hell to buy, and a pain in the ass to work on (lots of moving parts, wear and tear, have to keep the playfield waxed, etc...) If you've got the cash and can find a TNG pin already shopped for $1300, I'd offer a grand and work with the seller from there...

    Check out what this guy wants for his TNG...

    Always. Especially if it means you get a new toy.

    Schmed - bring the shirt, zeek - bring the transfer and a plain white tee... between the two of y'all, I should make at least $20 and a couple shirts...

    Someone bring some beer and various narcotic stimulants, and we're in business...

    NOW we're talking!

    Allright. So where exactly am I going to drive this booze and these drugs?

    Wait. Better do some real quick before I leave.

    Cool, I'm shivering with anticipation to hear about your progress at the next Procrastinator's Meeting. Oh, and do bring your tornado pics this time. I'm dying to see them.
