Bally Viking
« on: May 13, 2011, 08:17:53 AM »
Damn, wish it wasn't so far away from Sydney .... Bally Viking on Gumtree (in Perth).  The price seems like a good starting point.  And "no", not the only one in the country (as the ad says), but maybe not far from it?

Great starting price for an awesome pinball. Tonyt and myself own one - and I will never sell mine.

I hope someone here snaps it up !

Someone (not me) just scored a bargain at $1,000 for a working Viking. Just spoke to the guy, nice guy, had the game for 10 years, paid $2,000 for it, moving house just wants it gone. Backglass is flaking, some wear on the playfield but this was a steal!

I saw it on Gumtree about 3 hours after it was posted, spoke to the guy ( Wednesday ) and he said he had a call 30 minutes after he placed the ad, so bad luck me I just missed out.

He did say if the deal doesn't go thru he will give me first option, but I think its gunna be gone gone gone sh*it sh*t sh*it.

Machine works but needs the usual handful of things done and backglass paint is coming away from the glass. but otherwise ok.
