  radders and  to Aussie Pinball !

I have a Bally Ro Go in my collection and I really like the game due to the artwork. Bally EM parts can be found, but you most likely will have trouble locating machine specific parts such as plastics. It is a VERY rare machine. If it is the WA based eBay pin - I think it is a project pinball more than a working game, so you will need to roll up your sleeves ! Will most likely be missing chimes.

Best of luck with the purchase.

Haven't played one personally.  But from videos and other peoples opinions, i'd be looking for something else.

Be aware that the backglass on the eBay game is pretty hammered on the right hand side.  I think $1000 is WAY over the odds for this in it's current state.

yes thanks rod thats the feeling im getting doesn't want offers was thinking about contacting to go look but might just keep looking as i have been for a while no use jumping in and regreting it later

It is not a great playing machine - wide open spaces, no drop targets and an annoying little feature on the right hand side that returns the ball to the plunger.

I'd be taking a good look at the game and check for corrosion - at least check under the playfield.

A rare machine does not necessarily imply it is a "Great player". More of a "collectors" machine than a "players" machine.
