If I lived in Sydney I'd think about offering them some cash to take it away. You just never know () . On the same note I was at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast the other day an noticed they have an ACDC in there games room which looked to be in new condition except for the giant ticket machine bolted to the side.

I tried to explain to him if he cleans and maintains them you will get a lot more plays and interest from people as they were in very poor condition. He said he will take that on board but time is short but thanks anyway.
