check out the partyzone pinball.  first one i have seen with colour on the cabinet.  ^^^

I hope the playfields are cleaner than Peters fishtales was, or i would kill the seller in europe.

My bugs bunny x 2 pinballs were like that, i could see past the dirtyness, and all ended up well.

The question is, what meatheads in europe would allow machines to get in that state to start with ?
Partyzone is by far the best cab I have seen with colour on both sides.  Dirt is fine mate, its whats underneath that counts.

As someone said recently, there seems to be no fine line between collectors and site operators when it comes to looking after machines with a lousy bit of maintainence.

If only we had a time machine to go back 5 or ten years, and had a plane ticket to europe. Could you imagine how many cactus canyons, medi-evil madness's and high end pins like twilight, totans and attack from mars etc etc and all the other nice titles you could have picked up for a song and jammed into a container.

It looks like Oscar has done well. More photos please. More photos please. More photos please.

Good onya for giving it a go with your hard earnt $.   ^^^ ^^^ ^^^

What about going back 40 years and buy all the GTHO's, Monaro's and Chargers.....

Brand new phase three's were under $5K, now they start at $300K......

Wish I has a flux capacitor about now..

Cheers Angelo

Looks great Oscar, will have to pop in for a look soon. I love the machines that are covered in muck as most if not all have minty playfield preserved underneath.

I went and had a look at Oscars container thinking I might buy 1 game.  I ended up with three.  They are great value for money and he is a straight up bloke to deal with.  I recommend anyone looking for a pin on his list give him a call

+1 for Oscar, great bloke to deal with, checked out a couple of his pins, all the pins that I looked at were in good condition.
Picked up a WCS with no playfield wear except the usual little around the kickouts, for a reasonable price.
Very happy
Thanks mate   ^^^

Nice one, Oscar!
Great looking games.  You've done what most of us want to do, but never get around to.  Would have been hard to sleep when they first arrived.

It was a long process and there was a few sleepless nights. Now that the pinballs are here, I can only push forward as there is still a lot of work to be done.
