PEOPLE ALWAYS CHOOSE TO PICK OUT THE NEGATIVE RATHER THAN THE POSITIVE when i believe it should be the other way around regardless of prior dealings or thoughts of the guy or company selling the particular product.

This is true - But I think the original poster has seen the game as well (or someone saw it on his behalf) - So really it is just a difference of opinion.

I don't mind the look of the machine, but if the seller is willing to claim the machine is -

"It is 100% Genuine & is like brand new."

Then they must be willing to accept that perfectionists, purists and experienced EM pinheads will be looking for aspects of the machine that contradict the claims on the Auction.

I have only even seen a handful of machines that can ever be claimed to be "100% Genuine & is like brand new". Within a second of looking at the machine, the claim is inaccurate. For the same cost and a little more effort, original Acorn Post caps could have been installed - not Bally SS post caps. They are non genuine.

From the pictures - "This machine is very neat & tidy" is 100% accurate, but the assertion that the machine is "100% Genuine & is like brand new" is simply not true.

With some extra work (see above) - this machine would be a great game to have in the collection at that price.
