Bit low for a project pinball. Good luck to the buyer - A good starting point is a pinball at a bargain price.

good score ^^^

I paid $100 for mine but that was about 15-20 years ago (when no one wanted pinnies).

looks like some of the plastics are missing?.. i can provide scans of the missing plastics from my own machine so you can make your own if you like!!

PM me if you want/need them

Cheers...Mitch

Well that is excellent news somebody that has bought it to restore - have to say it was the pinball eBay bargain of the past 5 years....

How about an introduction in: http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?board=2.0

Hi Tony,  Your Klondike that I purchased from you a few years ago, is currently sitting in my showroom in a very nice restored condition, I will never sell that one.  The one that just sold on ebay, was a different one. I'm currently selling off a lot of my older projects as I need the space with over 120 pinballs arriving here at the Pinball Shed in the next month.  I'm still waiting for you to visit and inspect your old Klondike, you will be very impressed.

Hey Tony,

Good news that you did restore the Klondike...was supposed to be up your way for Stu's meet but my Son is 18 that weekend..

Still no news on you getting in some 1960s pins?

Have seen you got in some really really really cool late 1970s EMs!

picked up and delivered
first impression.... like the eBay description said " needs time "
once unloaded checked a few things out backglass a little sad, cabinet very rough, playfield will tell you after a good clean.
a bit rough in places but should keep my retired brother busy for a few months.
needs so many parts, full playfield plastic hi res scans would be a nice place to start if anyone can help ??? please please ! !
next the complete set of score reel coils are burnt and in need of new parts coils and sleeves
front door....better just replace the whole thing.
eject hole kicker plastics,many more parts are needed just waiting for a list from him at a later stage
well before anything happens he needs a copy of the schematic and user manual if anyone has one or if anyone knows where a new one can be bought.

all up yes best and cheapest eBay buy of the year...
thank you Pinball Shed and Tony
