Looks to be covered with some sort of yellow contact ?

Maybe it is a simple fix - just a coil ?

First bid is just way too high for a project game.

That looks like one of those games that was on location for 10 years, never cleaned and once it developed a problem (such as the ball not kicking out) was 'fixed' so it would just keep going.

Cool pin but as Nino said an opening bid of $1000 is alot in that condition.

Sold for AU $961.32 .
Was thinking of going to look at it this arvo but decided to pass .
Glad I did . I know its a pretty popular title but I think thats a crazy price for a non working game with bad PF touchups and who knows what else wrong with it
I need more room ! and more $$$

Good on you mate and good luck with it .. Yeah the BG looked to be in very good shape . Sorry I didn't go and see it in person now so I could have given you some 'eyeball feedback' so to speak . It was only about 10 mins away from me.

Looking forward to a resto thread

Cheers

Yep . There are 4 located in Riverstone (where I live) but I've never used any of them so can't say what they are like .

Roadmaster (02) 9852 6666
Wrapt Fragile Freight 1800884554
Aushaul (02)96276006
GSS Transport Services 0412967099

Also, put the feelers out here on the forum , someone might be able to get you a better deal than those I've mentioned.

Cheers

I have used Aladdin's a few times to move machines. Two men pickup and blanket wrapped the game.
