Centaur II Maybe I should hold onto it

[Strangeways]

Fantastic effort Shane - Well done 

[shansta]

No worries - gotta get there yet!!!

Toni got me a "Chase HQ" cab for father's day...

Kinda stuffed my idea of getting Paul's machine on Sunday...

This week or this weekend Paul - I promise!


I am actually waiting for him to get sick of waiting and sell the machine to me instead.... $1000 for that! Tin arsed barstard.....

Yeah, Rollerball is a bargain attractant, that's for sure.

Still, we have to help him out, his meets are legendary.

[shansta]

<sigh> Yeah I know - bloody new south welshman.......

[ROLLERBALL]

Just got this message from Shane....



Okay - it's sitting on the trailer inside my garage.   

My plan is to run it up to MarkC tomorrow or Monday.

Plugged her in - no worries, slingshots are stuffed and it's filthy! Will look at taking upper headbox off it tonight - I was not happy with the stress it puts on the cab leaving it on... (Main reason why I stopped here - it's 70k's to your mates place)

Machine was serviced 1 year ago by a local company (240 amusements) who I will not be recommending to anybody in a hurry!

Talk soon dude.

Shane.


YIPPEEEEE
Thanks again Shane for making my life easy...great work mate...Happy to do the same for you in Sydney if you ever need a help with pickup ect..

slingshots are stuffed

????? as in plastics are broken????
????? coils not firing  ???

Any ideas what STUFFED means in this case

[ROLLERBALL]

Well look at the pics on page 2...I would say coils ect stuffed...looks like the one on the right is stuck out.....thats not a big deal Im guessing..

[shansta]

Sorry Wotto...

The right hand slingshot does not go all the way home as per the photo - it does sometimes... This is because the whole thing is loose under the playfield!

Both are piss weak and need help/coils!

The plastics are complete - except missing small rectangle plastic/lane guide that sits at the back of the RH flipper.

The LH slingshot plastic has had an extra hole drilled in it and is not mounted correctly.

The RH slingshot plastic is warped from being incorrectly fitted.

The white plastic lane guides are both different...

Target faces worn out - 2 targets have been changed with thinner non-original ones.

Surface has a few minor wear spots under the mylar. Bigger wear spot at the bottom of the outlane.

Backglass has a leopard-skin effect because it was in a room with a clothes dryer. Bit of flake RHS halfway up.

Can't look at the boards as the backbox key is not the right one...

Took some quick and dirty phone pictures.

The RH slingshot plastic is warped from being incorrectly fitted.-  again - no biggie

Target faces worn out - 2 targets have been changed with thinner non-original ones.- easy fix

Surface has a few minor wear spots under the mylar. Bigger wear spot at the bottom of the outlane.

Backglass has a leopard-skin effect because it was in a room with a clothes dryer. Bit of flake RHS halfway up- YEWOUCH !!- Leopard pattern is BAD news

Can't look at the boards as the backbox key is not the right one... break it open -   

Took some quick and dirty phone pictures.

[shansta]

more

I can't break the thing open wotto - it's not mine! 

[shansta]

and again...

[ROLLERBALL]

Thanks for the Pics Shane...

This machine should clean up not too bad at all im thinking...and good for the price as well...

[shansta]

And thats it....

Tried a side-on shot of the glass to show the delamination a bit better...

[shansta]

If you look at the girl between the flippers - there is a wear spot on her right bum cheek, there is another wear spot to the left of the girl (below the left flipper). That's the only "bad" spots.

Rip the mylar and give him a polish - will look a million bucks with a good clean.

Cab and head are really good - small marks and scratches is all.

Black legs with new levelers in the coin box.

Better buy a few boxes of new pinballs - there is quite a few in this baby!

No worries for the price my man - you have done well.
