I live nearby and can go and have a look at the machine for you. I have purchased alot of machines and know what to look for, plus I will take my pinball tech with me since Andy works with me now fulltime in my security business anyway.
IF U ARE 100% serious about buying the machine if it is good, i will be happy to make the effort for you.
I recently picked up and palleted n packed 2 x machines for HOMEPIN , another forum member who lives in North QLD 25 hrs away and all went well there, so i will do it for u as well.
Note- u just have to pay the shipping costs which i can scource for you as well, i will only charge u $25 petrol and i can this time borrow a trailer from V8racefan-Leon.* Note, it will cost about $40 extra for me to purchase all the packing supplies to wrap the machine properly for you.
Just PM me with the sellers ph number and address and i will go on the treasure hunt for you if u would like.
regards, Brett
