Re: Project Pinballs - A Warning !

Should start a poll on guessing what country this game came from. Here's a clue - The power supply was jumpered as exactly stated on the coin entrance plates.

The customer was told TWICE - "This machine was DEFINITELY imported from a Private Collection in Europe (exact country left out)". The unsuspecting customer bought his EURO adapter and plugged in the game. There was a loud bang, sparks and smoke.

Wonder why ?



Is there a possibility that the game did in fact come from a private collection in Europe, and the importer of the game just forgot to mention (or didn't know enough to realise) that despite having come from this European collection most recently, the game was previously imported to Europe from the US and had been run off a step down transformer in Europe?

Either way quite negligent if the seller was a "professional", but possibly just ignorance if it was a private "backyarder" importer.
