bigger fish to fry, but it would be a great "starter" project for someone.

Just across the road, this one. But not at this time.

Someone took it for $680 BIN. Hard to tell from the eBay photos, but it looked like the top of the backglass was flaking, playfield looked reasonable, and the cabinet definitely needed repainting (someone had done a custom paint job that was just two colours joined at a diagonal). On top of that it is not working.

I don't know, but it sounds like a lot for a project machine?

That is a real good price IMO but as you said Andrew the backglass had seen better days, was tough to tell from the photos he had listed.

If that was in Sydney wouldn't of blinked at that price and bought it straight away

Ditto Tony, at that price I would have jumped at it, but add another $260 for shipping to Sydney and it quickly looses it's appeal :(

From what I'm seeing on fleaBay over the last 30 days, it seems all good deals seem to be in VIC & ADL (except for that rip-off Pro Football from Bendigo which I'll never forget.)

You guys love hard work when it comes to pinball restoration, though. I think I am lazier and would need more of a financial incentive before I took something like that on.
