Pinball Authority scores...Elvis Gold!!!

Managed to get an Elvis Gold (limited edition, 1 of 500)  pin yesterday at auction in Milwaukee for just over $4,000 (with tax and auction commission figured into that fee).  Thought it was a reasonably good deal.  Needs to be shopped, and a new lockbar and some odds and ends, but I think it will be fine.  More to come...
What to you think of that price?  Was it a good deal?

New High Score on TWZ

Got 664,000,000 on TWZ earlier today, a new high for me.  Came close to being "Lost in the Zone" (aren't I already though?).  Very satisfying game.  Indeed, earns its reputation for being a top-rated pin.

What I've been up to ....

Ate too much over Thanksgiving but now that it's over, back to normal.  Plenty of time to work on my pins.  Replaced a few rubbers on Getaway, put in new locks on my Cyclone, and for the first time ever, replaced a few beer seals!  Those things can degrade and get yucky; but look a lot nicer and seems to seal better with the new seals on.  Didn't realize that there are two seals per lockdown bar; one horizontal and one vertical.  Next project:  install some of my new LED's that I just ordered.
