Nug has a Fire! it's a really entertaining game. The fire effects are awesome, and I love the bell on top.

I always had a fascination for "Fire" - I first saw it in "Flashbacks" - how ironic !

Nive game.

I will post some pics of the fire soon.
and the SOF before and after the insert decals go on.

Hey Strangeways.
FIRE! was in flashback when I worked there by the way, so I may have given you some change when you played it all those years ago.

The FIRE! is in a cosmeticly sad condition but it plays well.

How cool is that !

The last time I went there was when there was an arcade game setup called "P-47" - There were a few of them onsite.

Do you recall the Spirit and Haunted House next to each other on the "step" ?

They were NEVER working (together at the same time) - and this very fact inspired me to buy them later on. I used to leave in disgust...

"don't it always seem to go, you don't know what you have got till its gone"

Markc has informed me it's on its way $#$.
I wil post some before, during and after pics when I pull the playfield down,replace the decals and remove any bubbles and repair any ware and re wax it.
The short piece of metal at the bottom of the Lion Man ramp looks a bit rusty from the photos so I will repaint that also.

well that must mean business is good then if you had so many pins to drop off.
I'ts a pity I don't live in Victoria any more as I would ask you for a part time job, I'm not to bad with pin repairs including the electronics in the driver section of the pcbs.I even have my own soldering and desoldering station. I would even donate some time to prove I can do the job, but I don't live down there any more so it's just a pipe dream. One of my previous jobs was designing and assembling circuit boards for a led manufacture.
It must make you sad to see the run down state of some of the pins from the 70's and 80's? It does make me sad because I remember how beautiful they looked when they where new. !!!
Anyway i'm just happy to here it's on the way. If i'm lucky it will be here Tuesday.
