Found it! LotR/ST:TNG

[VeeMonroe]

Looking to potentially get a second pin - either LotR or ST:TNG.

Not imminently, as I need to sell some stuff to fund the purchase, but - if you’re thinking of selling in the next few months- let me know.

We’re also interested in Medieval Madness (original for ease of fixability), but not for a long while as we don’t have the space and they cost a fortune.

Pin needs to be in playable condition, but not collector’s condition. I can repair (or learn to repair) minor faults if you’re someone who isn’t interested in that side of the hobby - but, please, be upfront about them as I know ST:TNG, in particular, is a repair beast.

Let me know how much you potentially want for the pin by PM or on the thread.

I chuckle when I hear such tosh! - there is nothing hard about fixing anything on MMR - the hard thing is finding something that needs fixing! MMR is one the machines I've had the longest and in terms of needing fixes I think I had one issue with a screw coming loose on a switch.

Read this thread here:

Three years and a handful of mechanical fixes (pretty much all of which would apply to an original MM)

Sold for $6200. Total earnings over $17k. Total plays 26,219.

What a great run. So after 3 years the game profited about $6700 - probably had $500 in parts. Quite a few hours in labor.

$6700 ÷ 36 months comes out to about $172 a month. Our business has 2 owners at 50/50 split so it looks like we made about $86 a month each on average

Super happy with everything. Game was a tank and heald up great. Playfield still looks like newish!

I will have a STTNG available at PinFest

And here I was… thinking you’d posted to offer me a machine

I put my name down with Pinball Heaven for the next factory run of the remake in a couple of years. Then, I discovered the insert lighting for MMR looks to be on a single big board. I know LEDS *should* last 10-12 years, but I’m not sure I want to stake £100+ on that - given I can swap out the Comets on my FT for ~£1 each.

Coming into this, I figured it was a hobby made up mainly of people who liked tinkering with old kit. Turns out that isn’t necessarily the case…

That’s not to say the remakes are poor quality. They’re evidently not.

I will have a STTNG available at PinFest

Timing not great, unfortunately

I won’t have my auction done for a month (at least), and that’s the ‘toy budget’…

If it’s still there after Pinfest, I might be interested (obviously).
