Without wanting this thread to denigrate into a sh*tfight (or sh*tstorm if your name is Kevin) I have NEVER seen a machine offered by The Pinball Shed where it was "claimed" the machine had been fully shopped and was perfect.
In fact - the conversations I have overheard made it clear that the machines being looked at were "overhauled - but, please remember, it IS 15 years old"
This all needs to be kept in context and with relation to the simple FACT that these machines ARE OLD!!!!!.
