Wish someone could save her

This ol' girl might be passed it, don't know if it even has boards, but that's a pretty cool playfield including colours, cab nice colours too. I hate seeing a cool retro pin like this parted out

It is an EM - No boards.

No headbox and no pictures of the baseboard. Would be great to know if the chimes, score motor and other parts are in the game or if they have been removed already. Instead of cleaning the playfield, why not prop the playfield so we can see what's inside ?

Must be one of those "from a private collection in Germany"

Charming salesmanship.

A bit expensive for a part machine, also the bottom has dropped out of the EM market and its a Williams EM, so not gonna get much love I would think

Bike City will take a reasonable offer once no-one bids. Finding the head is the tricky bit. Grand Prix is an ok player and all the bits look to be there under the p/f.

I hope whoever took the head for a decoration drops it on their foot.

Out of principle alone I wouldn't go anywhere near that seller no matter what the machine was and at what price.

Same here.

I see the seller isn't too popular with some members  . Sad though to see this happen to a pin - to me this is a timeless theme, cool (simple) art & colours, one piece of pin history. I'd love just one EM in my small collection, it doesn't need to win any prizes for best EM game or condition. Sounds like this one's way way beyond help though - how does a pin lose it's head & legs anyway?

"Container Filler".

More than likely, this game was throw in for (as it is - missing parts) free to fill the container. Common from the supplier in Germany (well it was common years ago). Basically, the game was a freebie.

Mexican drug cartel or pinball mafia.

Lol - that's pretty funny 

So assume dealer has one container brought in from Germany (why Germany?), there's some spare space/ weight available, so the German connection throws in some odd freebies like this one & the Oz dealer makes a few hundred on each (if they sell). Well I hope someone has indeed put the rest of it to good use in another machine - & if used as art I echo sentiments that I hope it's caused an injury. I read this was last/ near last of William's EMs & quite difficult to repair (but you can't believe everything you read I guess).

Head is probably somewhere in the shed.. seller has a habit of not knowing what goes with what.
Also any seller that states " looks complete" is using this as a cop out.. means it isn't but they aren't going to say. Another favourite is " haven't plugged it in to see if it works or not".. biggest lie in the industry.
$550 for a cabinet?.. so the market is someone with a head sitting around looking for the missing cab?

Don't like the odds of that one..
