Yes Mark,
The Blue Chip in Mike's second book was originally mine....check out the centre plastic which gives it away.
I traded the game with Michael, who then traded it to Scott Grey, who sold it to the person you bought it off!
Ouch, I have since replaced the centre plastic.
I love this history... Do pinballs have unique serials that can be tracked?
Gday Mark .. I'm the guy who sold you your Blue Chip via Ebay a couple of years ago.
Just wanted to clarify that the Blue Chip you have has the playfield, plastic set and back glass that was from the game Tony owned some years ago but the cabinet is from a different machine.
I have the cabinet that was originally Tony's machine, (with the PF, plastics set and backglass from the 2nd machine ).
About 6 months after I bought the game Tony used to own, I bought a second Blue Chip from Ebay which had a better PF, backglass and plastics set.
I would be very interested to hear how you've gone with your resto on your Blue Chip so far and do you have any progress pics?
Rgds
Dave
