hi folks first post here and my collection started 7yrs ago with one pin Terminator 2......And still is haha. I was pondering on getting a pin for ages but like most peeps didn't know enough about prices and parts. I took a gamble on ebay (never should really but what the heck) on a T2 that was in Germany (i'm UK). All in it was £825, it was £100 crated so good value. It turned up 5 days later at my door, not bad condition for its age, bulbs out, bits of plastic trim missing here there, but I wanted it badly so overlooked the problems. What I never counted on was the constant work and replacing parts that this machine had lol. After 4yrs of owner ship I sold it to my m8 for £400. His missus used it as a laundry horse for her DAMP washing grrrrrr. Anyway 2 months ago he announced his missus was expecting and needed shut of it and gave me first refusal....Naturally the temptation was there and so rightly handed over the princely sum of....£160. Ok so I have now replaced all bulbs with LEDS (ghosting problem prevalent but not too bad), needs the gun stripping and cleaning cause its slow, DMD occassionaly flickers but works 99% of the time, replaced only 3 switches and just sorted the kickback cause it was crap lol. Rebuilt both flippers and cleaned the playfield with novus. All in all it isnt collectors quality by any means but it has sentimental value to me and so will be keeping it :) Just need to find a MM or HS2 for under £2000 and i'm set for life haha
edit...heres a link of it now with the other half playing it. As you can see the gun is very slow so a strip down is needed me thinks
