LOL

I can't believe that a business would sell a machine like that.

That one will have come from overseas, most likely Asia/Japan etc.  You can see where the isolation transformer was mounted in the base of the cabinet.  I bought one from Zax's many years ago and it came with all that crap inside, I stripped it out and returned it to a stock machine.

Pity about the large chips above the "Free Ride" insert

You mean it's not worth more with all that extra gear in the cab??  %$%

I'm sure someone would like you to think it was worth more  &^&  with all the extra bits installed.   All it really did was add a lot of weight to the cabinet and mask issues the game had.

I got the joke....just added the extra info, as I'm sure a seller might try and convince the unsuspecting/newbie otherwise.

Ahhhh I get it. Bit sad there are sellers like that isn't it. Anyone interested in starting a pinball collection - best advice is to join AP - read a lot, play a lot, & ask qns - then look to buy a pin, taking yr time & asking even more qns.  *%*
