I just came across this thread and I'm so glad I did...what a laugh.
A good mate and I have been following this guys ebay sales for a while and we really bag the crap out of him and although it gives us a great laugh as it does everyone on this thread he really does annoy the sh#t out of me.
Many times i have been tempted to have a go at him or question his de******ion on ebay but being a pinball amateur I'm probably just gonna make an arse of myself but now armed with all this new factual info I think I'll put something together and have a crack when he lists his next greatest Kiss ever.
He did have a nice looking "best ever" Elton John" themed (i forget the name) electro mechanical machine listed a while back and I think it's the same one bumper action now have.
Yep - We have all had a good laugh - quite entertaining at times. I guess the bottom line is always that a fully restored pinball (properly restored) does not need waffle to sell it - just let the pictures do the talking !
