Anyone interested in a Xevious?
by Sean McLachlan 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

I have an *extremely* nice Xevious if anyone is interested. Cosmetically it is in amazing shape. It really is a beautiful cab. Side art and CPO are in great shape, no significant damage, . Right now I am doing a cap kit on the G07 that is in it. The only drawback is the monitor has the Xevious name burned in it, but it does work. Serial number is 00095, which is kinda cool. There is no water damage. The worst part is the marquee. Someone sprayed it with clear coat, and it's in bad shape. The art was silk-screened on the top of the glass, so removing the clear coat removes the art. Repros are available, however, so it's not a permanent blemish. Trades preferred. Pics available if it looks like we can put together a deal. Sean McLachlan MIS Manager LithoFlexo grafics inc. 801.484.8503

Lunch and Defender Bezel
by Sean McLachlan 19 May '04

19 May '04

Alright, Pete's back in. So mark your calendars for Friday the 16th, 11:30 am at the Atlantic Cafe Market. 325 South Main. Pete, Bret, Jeff and myself (Sean) are in, and I am hoping to see Bert Ankrom, Chris Strong and Kurt Mahan there too, cause I know them and they are cool guys. Not that the unmentioned guys are anything less than incredibly hoopy froods who always know where their towel is. Come one, come all, I say. And if anyone has a nice (doesn't have to be perfect, but nice) Defender Bezel, I'd like to trade/buy it from you. We could swap parts/lucre at the lunch.

Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown.
by Chris Hardy 19 Apr '04

19 Apr '04

Well, I thought some of you might be interested in some photo's from the pinball showdown in Denver. Most games were on freeplay, and there were even some vintage vid cabs there. You can even see Ray from Action Pinball (from SLC) down here. If a vid or pin showdown was held in Utah, I'd go as well >:) Check it out http://house.hardys.org/gallery/showdown -- "You are more than you think you are." "Then what am I?"

Game museum
by Pete Ashdown 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

Thanks to a case of the shingles, I'm in town. So if you're still planning on lunch Thursday I'll be there. A friend has been talking about trying to organize a game museum/library for a while now. This idea appeals to me because I'm just about to reach the breaking point here. I'd like to either donate my games to an organization that would have the time to care and feed them, or send the herd to ebay. If any of you are interested in coming to a preliminary organizing meeting, he's having one on the 18th. Drop a note to me and I'll pass your email on to him.

Re: [UtVgG] Getting a game to your doorstep (But it's a Pin ;) )

On a slight tangent -- make sure the seller properly preps the game for shipping. Including pulling ALL the balls out so they don't get to bounce around breaking things (including the glass), cleans out the coffin of things that might also like to be free, looks in the head to see if all the boards have screws attaching them, etc..

Getting a game to your doorstep (But it's a Pin ;) )
by chris＠hardys.org 08 Apr '04

Disclaimer: I'm asking about pins ;) But I figure that shipping ought to be the same. I've been waiting, and waiting for a pin. I now have a seller, and a by all accounts, this looks to be a good deal. But all shipping is left up to me, and the pin is sitting in Rhode Island. Has anyone else had to ship a pin to their locale? And if so, how did you do it? Thanks, from the resident Collecting newbie ;) Chris

Lunch + G08 parts request
by Sean McLachlan 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

Anyone have the boards for a G08? HV, deflection and neckboard. Non-working or untested is fine. Question the second: I think it would be fun to meet for lunch downtown sometime. I'll just throw out a time and date: 11:30am Friday, April 23. The weather is getting nice, maybe someone could suggest a place with a nice patio?
