Pete, I have purchased 5 different project games from Mark C and all were in excellent condition. All projects straight from the container. All purchased at different times.
I only had to clean, rerubber, reglobe all of them. I had only 1 x I.C on one board to fix on Jurrasic Park. Very minor. Apart from that, all machines were very tidy indeed.
I didnt even really need to even do flipper kits on any of them. Mark tends to be very picky as to what he takes and doesnt take in the containers he purchases.
I have never met the man personally, but he has always looked after me. It doesnt get better than that.
If he has something that is very rough, he will tell you straight up and adjust the price accordingly.It doesnt matter what seller you approach, always ask for photos.
I live in QLD so i can only decide after seeing photos. The good thing with Mark, is u can ask him to get you a certain title in if he doesnt have it in stock.
5 machines so far have all been winners at good prices.
Ddstoys(Daniel) is always a good judge of any machine floating around Melbourne. He has a good relationship with Mark and can always offer a independant and fair opinion.
