I as Dave also had the privilege of viewing and helping with these machines.

Oscar is a great guy and a good friend who is as honest as the days end.

From what i have gathered from the quality of the machines from which the ones i have seen are in good to great condition. If the cabinets are anything to go by with the ones in storage well they all seem to be in decent condition. 

All cabinets have colour and seem to be in good condition.

A HUGE  ^^^ to Oscar for taking the risk and making it pay off.

Like all have mentioned Oscar, I too am there to help when ever it its needed...

I for one can give Oscar 10 out of 10 as Dave said he's one of the most honest blokes you will ever meet-those machines are in great condition and with a bit of elbow grease they will come up a treat. I bought my FT off Oscar and I'm wrapped with price and condition/thanks again mate for letting me pick her up late at night when you where busy getting your kids ready for bed. Mate if you need any help give me a call and I'll give you a hand as theres nothing better than opening another pinball and going WOW.

That's the reward - opening each machine and looking through each of them. I have a speadsheet of each of my games and I order parts now that the $ is good and parts are readily available. My container was a little different as I targeted collector EMs and SS titles (with a few DMDs). Most EMs were FAR better than I initially thought. The idea is to ENJOY yourself - and I often drive down to my storage building and simply look at all the machines. I lose hours down there just LOOKING and examining each machine. Soon I will have some resto threads on some of the rarer EMs, and some of them look like they have never been played. I "tip my hat off" to anyone that brings in containers - It is risky and hard work. But as you have found out, there are MANY good people out there to help out. If you ever need a hand - just ask !

Has been a pin I've quietly been looking at for a long time.  Best Diner I've ever seen and will clean up like new.
Congrats to the new owner.  I am glad its going to a great home and will be restored and played.  Should like very much the part in their gamesroom!

I'll have to try and snap up another one of Oscars pins before they all go and I'm left sweeping out the empty container..   :tumble:

check out the partyzone pinball.  first one i have seen with colour on the cabinet.  ^^^

I hope the playfields are cleaner than Peters fishtales was, or i would kill the seller in europe.

My bugs bunny x 2 pinballs were like that, i could see past the dirtyness, and all ended up well.

The question is, what meatheads in europe would allow machines to get in that state to start with ?
