First up, huge thanks to Blair (Pintoxicated) for taking the time to do the 4hr round trip from Albury to Mansfield with me yesterday afternoon to pick this machine up. I can also highly recommend the pots and Parmy’s from the Mansfield Hotel if you’re ever in the area.
It’s a bit of a long story so I won’t bore you with all the details but a couple of months ago I was driving with a mate of mine when he took a call from his wife who was away on a girls weekend on a property just out of Mansfield, anyway she mentioned that there was a pinball machine sitting out under the back veranda. From there questions were asked and it turns out that the only reason it wasn’t at the tip already was because it was too heavy to lift. Apparently they’d owned it for 20 years or so and it hadn’t worked for much of that time. Anyway my mate didn’t want it so they gave it to me. It took a bit to organize a suitable pick up time when no one was using the house but they were very happy to see it gone and I was very happy to have a free pin saved from the tip and its in much better condition that I thought it would be so it shouldn’t cost to much to get it going again either.
Picked it up last night, here’s some pictures.
Apart from some ware between the flippers and around the kick out hole the rest of the playfield is very good.
