Fire Pinball - plays beautifully but missing a flipper
« on: April 11, 2014, 10:20:00 PM »
unless you could visit and check it out you would have to be nervous about a machine that plays beautifully, but has a flipper missing and sitting on what looks like a covered verandah which might be contributing to the de-lamination…….

What a classic piece of eBay BS-how on earth can it be said to play beautifully.  Lots more than 2 or 3 in Australia.

one of my friends who knows a bit about pinballs contacted him because he was looking at it after i sent him the link I saw here on this post.

he said the guy is an idiot.
even with a courier to come pick up the machine at a time that suited him he wouldnt go to the effort of wrapping or even taking the legs off, he said the courier would have to do it for him because he isnt interested in laying a finger on it.

you cant be like that when selling something like this

Nug has one - it's actually pretty good to play. No pop bumpers, the pop up ramps are fun though. Missing bell is a big downer.
