BIN price of $1200 is not bad when you think most auctions add 12 to 17% buyers premium on top. If you need to pay $250 to freight it, consider iyou saved much of that by not paying the premium.
I'd seriously think about selling my Pioneer and using the cash to buy Drop A Card .... mmmm

It has all the hallmarks of a classic GTB wedge and on top of that it's a card theme, you can't go wrong! I would have loved to buy it but I've made an agreement with the wife that the pinball hobby can only be funded from stuff that I sell on fleaBay.  Sadly my Mediterranean Mandolin didn't sell last week - looking forward to the next council clean-up scavenge hunt ;)

Someone here should be able to score that DaC for less than 1200. Its a screamer of a table (well mine is), and they are not easy to find (like any decent EM I guess).

hahahahha, no-one seemed to show any interest on ebay, so i grabbed it myself to keep it safe.
I decided it would be an interesting EM project, as i don't have any EM's at all.

At worst case, should i get rtid of it, it will be offered to AP first, and obviously will be cleaned up & working condish.
I'll post pix of a restore thread as i get onto it.

I love it when a good deal just gets better!

Snooping inside the cabinet i found a small paper envelope with a postage label on the front from "Amusement Machine Distributers (NSW) to "A & A Amusements", Lygon St, Brunswick (Vic).

Inside the envelope is the Installation/game instruction guide, schematic sheet plus coin/ball insert cards, all in fairly pristine condish...

Just made things a lot easier  #@#

I'll start snapping some pics soon, detailing the condish and 'dog damage' on the cabinet sides, which is pretty hilarious.
Luckily i have replacment gottlieb cabinets to migrate into and repaint.
