Does this mean Zivko is back - or is David helping out?

That playfield is in a bad way! Can you find a playfield for these machines?

Hard to believe that the playfield could look that worn - when the rest of the game looks to be in GREAT condition. An interesting title.

My thoughts exactly. Although it is local - it would need a replacement playfield. Even the playfield guys on here would not be able to save the current playfield.

This is one of 2 pins that I coinvinced him to bring in as a project.........it was destined to be parted out. A title that rarely appears for sale in Australia. Shame to see this much playfield wear...........bigger shame to see it stripped in bits.

Dave, have you had a chance to look at this one yet Dave or do you know what it would take to get it up and running?

MarkC HAD a playfield - and a good one at that ! Hopefully the person who bought the playfield is aware the rest of the game is on eBay. If I had the playfield and this machine came up - I would not hesitate.

Yeah Nino I was thinking the same thing, about the playfield Mark had, rest of this machine looks to be in fair nick.  I was first bidder, but might let it go...too much other stuff unfinished  !!!
