Hmm with what it will cost to import it maybe a risk. Hard machine to find here, and definately an investment title pin.

i'd jump on it if it were shopped... just seems too much of a project for the price of importing it  !@#

I'm thinking it might be about 2.5k by the time it gets here and I'd like to restore one, but would be hoping all parts where included in it.

Here is a centaur available right now in Australia for 2.5k, and it looks pretty good from the pics.

if there are any issues, it would be an absolute nightmare to try and resolve

distance and disputes just don't mix

The cost if getting it here would be my main concern. Also the wear near the shooter lane is a worry looks pretty deep if its been played that much whats the rest of the PF like up close?

I would go for the local one - far less chance of things going wrong and looks in a bit better condition.

The local one still needs some touch-up near the outhole and the bang-back posts have been moved inland to make saves easier %.%

Centaur is a great game and well worth owning - I won't be selling mine.

cheers
Ian
