Yes it was well worth the wait i had turned down a few before which all had shit backglasses or playfields but this one is more than good enough to be a keeper for me and will get the full NINO treatment

It's always nice to have a good playfield to start with - I am prepared to pay a bit more for that. Having a decent backglass helps too.

It must be a nice feeling to be in possession of that pinball machine!

You should have seen the smile on Daniel's face when he was telling me about it today.   :D

Even the Evil Black Hole teaching him a pinball lesson couldn't wipe it off!

Big congrats buddy.   ^^^

As you have not been married for too long, the rules are still flexible, mate.

A pinball in the lounge room sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Nice Score Dan,
Another one of those 'better than i expected' scores....

Is your BGlass the one we looked at in the box? or is it another?

Awesome BG, Something about looong legs and long red hair is always a winner with me hehehehe.
I'm yet to find a decent S&S BG to hang on the wall, one of the few that i actually would hang up hehehehe.

It never fails to impress me when a grown man can get THIS excited over a Pinball - Congrats Daniel - You have been a credit to this site and the Hobby since you have been here and you deserve everything you get in my book.

I will dig out my Strikes and Spares restore from the archives  #@# and post it here soon. My machine came up really well and I think you will be very pleased with your machine as it looks to be in excellent condition !!

WELL DONE !

You mean the MEDUSA mate ! Hang on - both made me weak at the knees - and both machines arrived within a month of each other !

I still remember the day you laughed at me unpacking the Medusa. Never forget it.

My collection has quite a few "A list" titles from your containers. You guys have helped a few collectors along the way  ^^^
