Yeah. The reds in that glass should be really vivid. Shame.

I swore NO MORE FLAKY ELECTRONICS to myself, but i must admit... im REALLY tempted with the BIN button on this.

I cant do it.. have just forked out over $3K cash to bloody move house.. but i keep looking at it.. reds are faded, but so are the blues and the yellows.... my guess is that its just the picture.
 No cabinet shots..

Bloody hell... its a gamble

What's with the surge of (0)feedback sellers appearing on ebay selling pinnies in the past few weeks?? ?? ??

I think that cheapy camera would have a lot to do with filtering the red out.
Anyone local to him should consider asking about the red quality or inspecting in person.

I'm guessing that the Sydney Expo has got them motivated to sell the old machines they've had sitting unused in their games rooms, garages & sheds :)

The BG on this Fireball is definitely faded; I analysed the photo and colour corrected it and the reds are definitely worn, this machine has spent a lot of time sitting opposite a window - the reds are the first to fade.  Yellows are the best at resisting UV fade ;) See my corrected version of the eBay photo below.

It's ridiculous for people to expect bids when they offer very scant descriptions & one shitty photo.  You can really tell how much they value the machine, I'm guessing these guys will be open to offers ;)
