eBay Playboy
« on: March 04, 2011, 12:10:34 PM »

Maybe I'm becoming an over critical old bastard, but I just cannot understand why eBay descriptions are so blatantly misleading ;

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Bally-Playboy-Pinball-Machine-1978-TOP-CONDITION-/200581087613?pt=AU_ArcadeMachines&hash=item2eb390817d

"Original cabinet paint is really BRIGHT! No camera tricks here and not replacement stenciled (and what a pain that is…), this Bally Playboy has original artwork."

It has clearly been repainted - you can see the spray marks on the side and the door frame (or lack of)..

The bunny ears on the backbox are supposed to extend into the black line aswell

the collar/neck should be black, not white
