Well, was sent home immediately as have lost my job, and now need to sell off somethings to cover bills and will hopefully only temporarily leave pinball for a small period until I get back on my feet.
Today's item is the Earthshaker Earthquake Sinking and Raising Institute kit.
Nino did bring a shipment of pins recently to Aus and one was a Earthshaker which looks like a cool pin and only a handful estimated to be in Aus. I did reserve this pin and then purchased this mod but due to unexpected job loss I have un-reserved the pin with Nino so it is available for someone else.
Only the first 200 Earthshakers made out of the 5265 units in the beginning had the sinking institute feature in it before it was costed out.
I bought the mod from the creator Mark Davidson that has been making these in batches on demand for the last 10 years, and this was his last one from the Rev 3 design and he won't be making any more for at least 2 years and only if the demand is there. I saw it on ebay a few weeks ago and he offered it slightly cheaper if I committed promptly outside of ebay, which I did, costing me $275 plus $45 for insurance and freight and after exchange rates was $345 Aus. On ebay it was $300US plus $50US postage so about $375 Aus at a guess.
I need the money and willing to take a small loss for a total of $300 + postage. It only arrived yesterday so still nicely packaged ready to be sent on (though I did unpack to inspect that everything was there and repacked).
check out the link - Rev 3, all about the kit and fitting - with no playfield mods required - plug and play to look like the original.
