Hmmm, "great" is a bit overstated, but ->

Ha Ha. Yes buyer beware and going from the in-depth description there shouldn't be to much to worry about.  #@#

Run away from this one fast and hard.

Parts only.

I did a service call on this, took me about 2 seconds to say no way.  

Backbox parts rusted up badly and covered in dirt been exposed to the elements for years, wires cut everywhere (where do you start), backglass bad, playfield ordinary, broken plastics etc etc.

Machine was bought from a not so honest seller, the poor guy is nice enough but he got ripped.

If only it looked like the picture in your ebay link
Why do people sell machines with photos from ipdb or the flyer instead of the actual machine and for that matter why do people buy them?

"A pinball whizz had a look and fixed it in 10 secs and everything worked fine but didn't offer me the right amount what I thought it was worth and took his secret with him."  Well I've never heard that one before. Did you take your secret with you Humpalot?  %.%

It's no secrete I told him it was a POS and was parts only, most of the assemblies in the backbox are seized.  I don't know about the bullshit line that the original seller was spinning  !!@
