Surf Champ conversion

Just noticed this on eBay. Converted to a Hod rod themed pin and only two player not four like Surf Champ.

If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.

I have to agree, wouldn't do it myself but it does look to be nicely done.

None of it matters... machine will be sold as a Surf Champ at the end of the day if on Ebay and at $5500 its one hell of an expensive project!

However, the shop I sold the rebadged Gulf Stream to sold it for $6500 as a rebadged pin... someone walked in and laid the cash down on the counter.

It does happen!
