Looks awesome Nino well done I've never played this title or even seen one gee they must be rare in Australia?

Peter

Yes Peter, they are rare. Took me years to find one, and then I sourced another two in a container I brought in. There would not be many in Australia, but I do know there are a couple hidden in private collections. They NEVER change hands. I should know, I contacted nearly all the registered owners in Australia. Not one of them would let one go. A dealer bought in a couple a few years back, and sold them for a very high price. I did see photos of one of them, and it was in good condition.

Had the pleasure of seeing this game in the flesh on Saturday.  Everything looks fantastic, from the posts, nuts, assemblies to the brilliant playfield.  Will be a highly sought after machine when completed.

Already sold this Fathom. An astute collector has already paid for the machine and has commissioned a few more games from the same era. So there will be some more games documented and restored. Should be ready for a test drive this weekend, Marty - if you are in the area  %$%
