Another rare Mr. Do! Bezel instance found

Found something interesting tonight, found another collector who has this same bezel on some sort of Mr. Do conversion machine (maybe for all I know) from the rare white Mr. Do machine from Gleeb. His name is Daniel Tofalo, and I shot him a personal message through the KLOV group. I hope he has time to get back with me on what he knows about the machine he has and it’s history. It may give me some insight into my next lead.

Where I got the Frenzy

I came across this cabinet for sale at a local auction house here in Indianapolis, much to my surprise. I got to the event late that morning, and it was one of the first things to be auctioned. Being a little flustered, I wasn’t as patient as I should have been, but I still knew my upper price limit. I ended up bidding $20 to buy the machine. I probably could have waited, there might have been one other interested guy,

Happs and Wolverine Electronics – Limited Selection

On Friday I finally made it over to Happs and Wolverine Electronics. Neither of them had my 9 pin female molex connector that I need. Happs couldn’t even order it they said. On Thursday I stopped by and got a bag of free molex connectors, I mean a ton of them. But, not the style of one I needed. So, I guess that means I am going to have to try King’s, Meunier’s, or even Fry’s (*gasp*). I have to get the diode for the …

Second instance of Mr. Do! doesn’t exist

I called Joe back today. Bad news. He said he didn’t have a dedicated Mr. Do in the warehouse anymore. He said business for the dedicated games has dropped with the newer games today, and they just don’t have any dedicated Do’s anymore, let alone the one I was looking for. I asked if he could find out who he sold it to, and he didn’t think he could. So, that lead is dead. And with it, for now, my project. I may …

June 9, 2007

Today was an exciting day for Nokes, the important thing to note was, towards the middle of the day he was asleep. Yeah! for us.

Sarah had taken the great initiative to check on the two doggie training schools we had referrals to. In the end, Saturday morning we decided that we would just take him to the Beech Grove training and call it good. It lasts for 6 weeks, and is once a week on the weekends. I wasn’t able to go the first session, I already had plans during …

Summer Indianapolis Super Auction

I was very suprised to see this listed on the Super Auctions auction page back in April. I had considered going over to Dayton
to check out that auction they were putting on in May, and they had another one the same day as the Pinball at the Zoo in Kalamazoo, MI. It seemed like this summer they are really making a push to get out there and make more auctions.

I very much think this will be a one time deal, and could prove very interesting.

Rob Carroll’s Mr. Do! going on ebay

Earlier in the week Rob Carroll put his Mr. Do up for sale on ebay. He was so nice to offer it to me first. He had put a new monitor and power supply in the machine, so it had some nice additions, and he wanted a fair price for it. But with shipping it was just going to be too expensive, so I had to let it pass. So he listed it.

This got me motivated, now that I didn’t know if I would know anyone …
