At $1000 I would grab it.  Don't like the headbox, but hey, it still plays the same ^^^  Centaur is one cool machine when going properly.

cheers

Might be able to fix the BG with the glad wrap/triple thick technique.

Have seen a few NOS backglasses for this game sell pretty cheaply in the US over the past few years - maybe something to keep an eye out for?

Great pick up Paul . That empty spot left by PZ would still be warm and you've found another great priced pin to fill it up ...  %.%

Congrats.

Well done Paul, great pick up and this is a pretty good title, one I don't mind at all.
