Well it didn't go according to script but I did get a Gottlieb Sure Shot. Got it off Ebay (seems like everyone in Australia had a look at it) and it is a little sad but with a lot of TLC should come up OK.
Talking of scripts it was pure Ebay.....worked great until...... / a mate said he could fix it no trouble but he hasn't got time....I've had lots of offers but it is still here etc. etc. Why don't they just tell truth....after the smoke cleared and the firemen left it didn't work.
He somehow even managed to lose some of the the number inserts out of the every colourful playfield...how???
Has the typical reset problem and it appears there is a blade broken of in one of the score reels which also look like a couple have been put in the wrong way...expert mate no doubt.
Anyway have given the playfield a bit of a clean and replaced the globes, rubbers and some posts that have disintegrated over time.
Now off to the local EM mechanic for a bit of a tune up before tackling cabinet and legs and on and on.
All in all pretty happy with it.
