Wooww... What a shame... I forgot to post this roadtrip...done few months ago :P
I really like pinballs, but I'm not a 'die hard fan' of them... I just love to play them... and until now, I always focus on arcade games first. But my 'must have list' is almost complete so it's time to get some pinballs ;) In addition, a game room without at least one pinball is not a game room ;)
OK, back in august 07...
I've founded a nice Bally's Judge Dreed pinball for a very nice price. The seller is ok to bring it to me for a very low price : Bingo :D So we agree on a date... but... guess what ? ... I've founded another pinball... a Sega's Star Wars Trilogy... and I've to pick it up the same day :shock:
So, I'm waiting the first seller for the Judge Dredd, and after that, I'll have to do a roadtrip to pick up the Star Wars... What a day 8)
OK, here's the first seller...

A Bally's Judge Dredd... I never played it before, but according a lot of Judge Dredd owners, it's a really good pinball to start with :-*

Of course, no more free space in the Nuno's Lair... so this first pinball will go directly in the living room :arrow:

Let's try it... ok, everything looks fine...

I hope it will be possible to put it between the Guitar Freaks & the After Burner ??? ::) :arrow:

Yeah, it's fine 8) The deal is done ;D

Of course, the seller recognize the biggest piece of the Arcade history... the Computer Space :D He knows the game. It's the first time he can see it for real... He asks me if he can try it.... of course my friend :) :arrow:

Well, the story is not over... As I said, I've a Sega's Star Wars Trilogy *special edition* to bring back... a 350 km roadtrip to do ... :lol:
I use to start each roadtrip very early, but this time... it will be late... 18h08 :arrow:

Ok, on location... the pinball is there :arrow:

Very clean but it needs some minor repairs to do and few adjustments ...

Of course, the price will go down :P Negotiation time :arrow:

Ok, the deal is done... for the first time, I'll load a pinball in my car :P :arrow:

No problem at all on the Judge Dredd :) Maybe few bulbs too replace, but it works fine :-*
For the Star Wars Trilogy, I had to fix the XWing Gun, few switches, the Gun ramp deviation, bulbs, Han Solo led lights, put a new rubber ring kit, cleaning... it works great now ;D :-* :-* :-*
Here's few pictures... 'on location' :

I can't wait to see them inside the Nuno's Lair v2 :roll: :wink: :P
