Hi Freddo

Welcome to the forum

It is always hard to say what a game is worth without seeing it.

That said, if you have the time and inclantion, this a great place to find out ways in which tyou would be able to fix the game to iron those issues.

All the best

Sorry Freddo that was meant to be a joke but after a re read it does sound rude. I promise it wasnt meant to sound the way it did.    If you can post a few pics to give us an idea of its condition and give you a rough Value or even let us know what the intermitant problems are and we will be able to help you fix em

  Sorry again

[freddo]

here are some pics let me know if you need anymore cheers adam

ps. pinball does not want to reset it just goes round and round

[freddo]

no worries ddstoys, i'm not real smart when it comes to this stuff,not very bright but can lift heavy fings,

[ddstoys]

Do the score reels all go back to zero?    

If they do its most likely a stepper unit not resetting properly?  If you want to try fix this check out this thread http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=1707.0    this wont be exactly like yours but work on the same principals

[freddo]

thanx i'll check it out and get back to you. like i said though not real clued up with electrics its like making a butcher fix a car. lol

[ddstoys]

That Ok Adam we have lots of patience helping people get EMS going just ask Ford Fairlane or check out his marathon Pro football thread (dont worry rob we will get it going soon enough )

[Ford Fairlane]

  Daniel im learning that patience is required and im slowly learning that 

another tip that i learned from the guys is to have your score reel switches match. for example, compare your 100's reel with thousands and they should match up as you go through the numbers. Also check out my newbie never ending thread.. My Pro football is going through similar issues ...

Adam, might be worth mentioning where you are located. People interested in your game will be more so if you are local to them.

Yeah , I'd check the switches on the score reels, (I had a Bally EM do that & it was a score reel switch )
Grand Prix is supposed to be a great game, I read or heard Steve Kordek say in an interview , that Grand Prix was one of his favorite games. It must be a great game cause he designed plenty.
Anyway welcome to the forum as well  
Steve.
