How much? From say Brisbane to Sydney?

U will have to ask Wally directly, but I paid apx $250 to $300 last few times, but I paid cash, picked up n met him at a large BP gas station at Upper Coomera so he didn't have to drive into the suburb n waste his time getting thru small streets by going to my front door, that saved me $$, and I always paid cash n no receipts etc, and most of the items I had him drop off, he was paid by Rob at BikeCity to drop to me. The trucking component was incl in my purchase prices. Otherwise for years, I have been using TNT without hassle.

Wally has a White truck with a large trailer he tows behind his truck (trailer as big as the truck.lol  So he can take on massive dbl loads or smaller loads.

Wally was a really nice guy and he said that he told a few Melbourne Pinball guys that he was retiring but something must of changed as he is still in the game specialising in the stuff no one else wants to move (delicate stuff). Yeah and nice truck, crazy hours but so glad that I used him, no concerns of forklifts and jam packed truck as my pin was the only thing on the truck.

At work now and itching to have a game, this arvo can't come fast enough.

Jady, I DARE YOU not to play a game tonight, just turn it on and watch the excellent dot matrix annimations in attract mode for ten minutes, then u aren't allowed to play a game til tomorrow morning.lol 

Can u hold out that long......    

You will love Congo. Crank the volume Jady and enjoy collecting diamonds all over the African continent.

Also, a trick of the trade, when u are hitting the ball when the Grey Gorilla is alive in the bottom playfield, the trick is to not rush hitting the flipper buttons. Press then wait, press then wait a half a second, that gets the timing down perfect to hit the ball left, then right, then left n so on.

Enjoy ! Congo is a great game. Also, set up Midnight madness if its not set already....

it was $300 cash from Gold Coast to Newcastle but he lives in Brisbane and was heading to Sydney anyway so reckon it would be close to the same amount - I was stoked, 2 guys to carried the pinball and all I had to do was open the garage door. Highly recommend.

too late Cavey I failed, as soon as I got home I checked plugs then powered up and played about 10 games - love it and sure there is heaps to learn and master.

I love the artwork on this pinball title. Playfield artwork is excellent. I took off the glass n studied It. Excellent colours n some smart ideas from the designers.

Love the Gorilla graphic on the dot-matrix during attract mode. Really well done. Love the audio and dot matrix again during gameplay. Audio cranked is sooo jungle lke.
When u see the movie Jady, uwill see how great n close the pin is to the movie.
Now, collect all those diamonds n don't forget to go for the satellite n volcano shots.

U will have lots of fun with this one.

No worries Dave, though I think it will be staying in the family for a while, fun game….

[Sgtmax]

Iv got one coming up from Melbourne soon as well

[Hashman]

Gosh. Seems I am destined to not have a Congo in the shed. I'm in Melbourne and can't find one or just missing out. Oh well. Lemme know if you guys get sick of it. Wonder why the run on Congos lately.

[swinks]

sorry, not my intention to tease you

hope you find one soon, it is a cool game, fun player, will keep my eyes open for you and have a few small mods in mind as well

[Hashman]

Don't be silly swinks. Didn't take it like that at all! I just keep missing them through my own fault.

I used to play it a lot on my virtual pin and even though the theme is not popular I really enjoyed the game. Think it will sit nicely next to my no fear.

What mods you looking at? Is your ape window clear or cloudy?

[swinks]

I think it is a good pin and the alternate translate removes some of the cheesie look as some people think

Window is clear - John put a CFTBL window which looks pretty good.

As for the mods I will release once designed and installed.

I have been talking up Congo for apx 9 months since I bought abeauty.

Then a good mate saw it and wanted it, then another friend heard it was good n wanted one, and then Ihave had half a dozen people ask to buy one if I knew where one was.

Given theres probably only less than 10 in the country, its a hidden gem (no pun intended re collecting diamonds which is what Congo is about and fighting the Grey Gorilla).

Its just a late model WCS that has midnight madness and its just a really really cool game. The audio is great, the DMD is great, standby mode on the dmd is excellent with the dot work they did with the gorilla face etc).

People are starting to finally wake up that a lot of models that are under-rated, are just as good, if not better players than the over-rated n over-priced Ballys. I could list a whack of machines that I think are sub 3K or sub 3500 beauties.

Might start another thread.lol

Congo isn't good, its GREAT. As soon as u turn the machine on, crank up the volume, people just smile. Its the JUNGLE I tell ya ! Its the JUNGLE ! lol
