Fair bit of wear on the playfield - not as bad as some, though.

Sides of the head painted plain red as well.

The price is decent enough that it would be worth buying for restoration if you were after one.

Spoken to a few guys now, and seems this machine is not good buying at that price. Still it looks better than some stuff I have seen sell for more.

If it is "hand painted", surely it is not worth half the price. Hard to tell from the pictures.

As Marco pointed out - The legs are shocking, and missing leg levellers. It looks to be repainted, but the head has not been finished. Playfield is not too bad, hard to tell exactly - but there seems to be mylar on the bottom section ?

FG has a unique "Strobe unit" which sits in the headbox. It is a very bright flasher which is almost always missing, and very hard to find.

With a bit more work - it could be a really nice game. The playfields are being reproduced.
