Thanks guys, it was Shangri La that I really wanted but I got distracted by the bloody origin game and badly timed my sniper bid :( This was my second choice, I know it's a bit of a snoozer game but we'll see.
Anyhow, from the photos the guy sent me yesterday the BG seems to be the worst part of the machine, without even seeing the back of it I can only imagine how badly it must flaking. The PF actually looks to be in quite good nick but I'll start a resto thread with pics next week when the machine arrives.
All up including door to door shipping it's costing me $851 and I have to say even after we're all bagging the prices on fleaBay, for the Sydney market eBay prices aren't too bad. I've been speaking with Sydney pinball dealers over the last couple of weeks and I stand by buying on eBay because these guys were quoting me $800 for totally trashed basket cases or at least $1,000 for machines with badly worn PFs.
Pinnie prices are definitely cheaper interstate.
