My new Star Wars Episode One
« on: December 17, 2008, 09:25:42 PM »
Too excited just looking at my new machine to get out a camera, but will this weekend and will post them if that's ok.

The pinball is in A1 condition with no playfield wear, plastics in mint condition, translite perfect, all toys present and mint, cabinet near perfect and its had only one owner (until now) purchased from Leisure and Allied Melb.

The nice surprise I got once getting it home was to find that the manuals were if super condition still in the brown envelope, the bag of promo key ring plastics, allen keys, clips etc were there, and the locking bar as well. It was like buying the machine from new (an experience I don't think I'll ever experience, but this was close).

And to complete the fairy tale ride, I paid more than $1K less than I was prepared to go. Xmas has come early for me and am extremely pleased.

Congrats, sounds like a really lucky pick up, well done.  #*#

Nice pick up Rob!

It's not often you get to see all the stuff a pinball comes with when brand new, and very rarely is it there by the time the next owner gets the machine.

Sounds like you've got yourself a great deal... maybe I should come over and have a look?

By all means mate, BTW will probably be taking a visit to Mark's on Saturday to play some games etc. Might see you if you're there.

Probably not this weekend... I have heaps of work to do before Christmas... But let me know anyway, if I'm in the area, I'll pop in.
