Post pix Stu - I have not seen a Golden Arrow for a long time. 180 sqm of shed "left"  ^%^. I have a two car garage and I'm looking for a BIG shoehorn.

here we go, besides crushing my bloody finger i've been happy on the capture, it hasn't had a hard life:















playfield has no visisble wear, the lines you see are mylar creases and tears, inserts are very slightly sunken but not too bad. the aprons around the pop pumpers cover wear to the wood (i might sneakily sticker these but no doubt this will result is cries of outrage from someone i know (that has too much else to do  #@#:lol

the good thing about the cabinet being sanded back is there is no debate/doubt about respraying it. backglass is perfect.

was hoping to find a burnt out fuse but no suck luck, all fuses intact. i'll do some research before i power it up. this is exciting, plunging into the world of EM's! although i have since found out this machine only slightly pre-dated SS machines.

For the price you paid - That's a steal  @@*

Best thing about this game is that you are forced into respray. Looking at the playfield and backglass - the respray will compliment the rest of the game. RTBB holds a crapload of GTB parts, so you might only need a small order from PBR for Game Specific parts. Plastics are not available, but you can ask PBR if they are considering making them. I can't see the chime box.

Congrats - I would be very pleased if I scored this game..

How "game" are you to fire it up ? What problems did the seller describe to you ?

Definitely a great buy - hopefully nothing much wrong with it electrically.
