Don't sweat it, another will come up. Not a bad game, very pretty, but not really great. Good if you can grab it at a good price.

YES, it went to a collector. My good mate Martyn was the seller. Just got off the phone about the TOTAN 5 mins ago.

It went to a local buyer and pinny collector. There are a few others getting around. I will ask someone else I know who may have one coming up, but its not a project.  ^^^

i was interested because it was a project.
a done up machine will cost much more.
i was really hoping no one was watching, and i got it cheap.
i have much to do still on my present project, prolly for the best!!

you guys rock!!!

I saw that machine up close and personal and was thinking about buying it myself until I saw it in the flesh..... it sure did need a lot of work and it turned me off pretty quickly at the price.
A project in every sense of the word...... ::)
Old mate was asking 3k for it.....What did it go for on fleabay?

Sounds like the seller did you a favour - $3K for a very project Tales would have been exy IMO.

Wow more than 3k.
Buyer sounds stoked so that's good and I reckon the seller is doing cartwheels as well.
Good result all round.

Only in scmiko condition do they fetch good $$$$.
There is a shitload of work to be done on that pin to bring it anywhere near top $$ value.
Best of luck to the restorer...new repo playfields conming out for these. I would put a new pf in it right away.
