Orbitor 1 is missing a disc motor and board for one of the spinning bumpers and Space Invaders needs boards apparently.
There is a beautiful Stargate on gumtree (retail pricing again) but it's in bumfuk WA. I'd love to have it, but i couldn't justifty the price as it sits with whatever shipping would be.
There's another nice Stargate in Humpty Do or some where in NT advertised too.

Unbelievable story, the guys had his money for a month while we wait for Bill to get up to Rockhampton or wherever he is up there and the night before pick up Bill texts him he's coming next day, guy says he's decided not to sell. Rings me and i say we have a contract mate, deliver the machine, your a man and have given your written word, not a 10 year old girl swapping barbie dolls.
Nope.
So if anyone knows of a really nice Stargate anywhere with a reputable guy or girl behind it i'd love to know.

But that raises concerns for me why wouldnt the dealer shell out $500ish and finish the game????

Bill's picking the Orbitor up next run and dropping it at Kens on the Central Coast. He's going to have a look at it and tell me just what i need to do, what he can do to help and what i need to keep in touch with the stateside guy to get.
It's in really nice condition.

The bare one should look like the first pic, last pic is the board. Guy on pinside may hopefully reproduce them.

Was the same guy who hand the Orbitor, told me spacies sold. He wanted 5k for it incomplete, it was a pretty rough cab, i wouldn't have paid it anyway as it wasn't really the condition i like.

$5K for a project Spacies ? That's nuts... NICE Orbitor. Rare find and interesting game. Well done !

How did you go with the Orbitor 1 stuff?
Thinking i need to get a cab restore job done if i find a good Space invaders. They all seem to have bad wear round the flippers etc, but the stencils are available.
If anyone has one tucked away or knows where one is in nice condition (great playfield) and restores pinball machines we could definitely talk. I'd really like a niiiice one and it's the one i've got my sights set on, Stargate will pop up by itself there's plenty round.

What about an Atari Middle Earth widebody? Anyone have a nice one of those tucked away? Anyone spotted one in someones collection somewhere?
I think @ddstoys (http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?action=profile;u=104) had one at one stage ?

Now is a very good time to sell, prices are up. :D :D
Also if one of you restorers is looking for a project and spots a Space Invaders they'd like to restore then i'm your bunny.
