Paragon Body
« on: June 24, 2011, 01:59:27 PM »
For all you Paragon lovers ..... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Paragon-Body-only-/200620848709?pt=AU_CoinOp&hash=item2eb5ef3645.

As the date stamp on the image indicates, this has been around quite a few years.  Ends tonight.

I'm only 10km away so if any member wants to buy it, I can assist with a pickup and short period (1 month) storage but can't help with shipping.

Let me know.

Thats a AMAZING repaint - I really like the overspray.

The backglass will be remade by CPR and the playfield should be in their plans as well. I really hope someone here wins this cabinet  ^^^

I ended up getting it for $183 odd dollars, stash it for a rainy day. Or if anyone is every interested let me know I might still have it stashed, just couldn't let go by at that price.

Good score, looks pretty good to me  ^^^
So this was in Wallsend? I think this may have been the same guy who sold me my Stern Dracula  !@#
If it was him he had a double garage full of pins, and i spent the best part of an hour there just looking around and talking pinball, that was a couple of years ago now.

I picked it up today, very good job and the little bits of overspray blends in with the era as I know my surf champ has similar. Overall very nice especially for the price.

I have parked it in the shed next to the Skateball and Surf Champ, must say I bought this without ever seeing a wide body pinball before and wanting a project though might have to have a think as not sure if the wide body is my thing - one of those love it or pass it. If I pass it, I will pass on here to an enthusiast who wants it for a bargain.

Good on ya Jady, and I do hope you build this one up and keep it.  ^^^

I've never played (let alone laid eyes on) a Paragon.  But from the review it gets here on the forum, I'd say you would be hard pressed to let it go.  Starting with what looks like a great cab, and as Nino has chimed in with what should be coming with the BG and PF, sounds promising!

I was very tempted on having a bid but I really doupt I could convince the wife another road trip was a must.   But if I can work out a way to get it here I might have to work out a deal?
