No worries mate - Daniel has first option on Grand Trak 10, so you have first option on Sprint 1. Both are having their boards repaired and checked.

Your own container - sweet! I've often dreamed of my own container while helping unload one for someone else :)

I think my wife would probably leave me or kill me if I brought in my own container of pins!

If there's no love for the Night Driver let me know Nino.  I'd hate to see him left on his own in a big old room full of pins!  Is the conversion beyond reversion?

Sorry Craig - All the Galaga machines went years ago. I do have upright "generic" cabinets suitable for Galaga etc.

Yep - Went through that discussion with my wife. She was supportive, and knows that my vices are all Pinball related. I've always wanted a "steady" flow of restorations and I was lucky in that I have a building to store them in. I can literally just go for a drive and load up an EM and bring it home. But I'll recondition most of the DMDs first before enjoying the EMs and SS. Rather that read about other people doing it - I simply just had to "have a go" !

No worries Marty. I do have some older Atari Tubes in boxes - might even have the original. The board might be a problem, but I do recall seeing the steering assembly around. The "Turbo" conversion is a great playing game - but it would be a challenge to revise !

Don't suppose any of the cabs are the original Galaga Shape......

I was wondering where the sudden influx of machines had come from and now I know!

Well, congratulations - now, do you reckon I could get a financial advisor to agree that pinball machines are a good investment? Could buy some out of the retirement fund....

He's being trying to sell those for a while now.

I think last time they failed to reach any bids starting at about USD$200.

I would love one for my Viking but after freifgt costs its probably gunna be AUD$400 each.

Sure, provided you can demonstrate it meets your funds investment strategy and you lock it away unplayed! Soon as you play a game you've breached the rules and suddenly your fund is no longer getting all those tax breaks if someone was to discover your transgression.
