new here and looking for machines

[nath2099]

eBay isn't always terrible. Definitely go look at it though, the owners always seem to think they're worth premier collector $$$ for nowhere near premium collector machines. I actually picked up a Dr Who off eBay that I was more than happy with.

cool i have been looking there if u don't mind me asking how much did u get it for?

3.5K. It had a few issues that I knew would be easy fixes. A dodgy flipper and a cpl dicky switches, and a whole bunch of lamps out. A good clean, a new coil, and an IR led and it's great!

3.5k for a troublesome DR. Who?

and  to Aussie Pinball !

Please do not fall for the "impulse buy" - as are doing here - ask PLENTY of questions. Advise is free !

I think Oscar from Pinball Memories has a Stargate. I have several ST TNG machines arriving next week. The sole Dr Who is already reserved. Obviously we are both based in Melbourne. Don't restrict yourself to JUST QLD based sellers. Avoid eBay - It is simply a shopping window for newbies

ok thanks for that so what sort of price will you have on tng and what sort of cost involved in delivery to my work 4170 thanks

Check out my restorations in the "restorations" section. I have two ST TNGs that I restored and sold for around $4400 - $4600. Not shopped - but restored. I am doing a NIB (Nearly In Box) ST TNG - New decals, cleared playfield (currently at Platinum Pinball), PinballInc Ramps, new plastics set, colorDMD, Pinball Pro subwoofer. A serious collector's quality game. Probably not for a pinballer that wants to "just play" and the machine. Starting base for a game that I would restore would be $4400 - $4600.

hmm some of the prices are really all over the place so it looks to depend a lot on whats been done to them ect

It's only troublesome if you don't know how to fix it. A few hours for too catch up on years of lack of maintenance, and it looks practically new. One owner, bought new for in home use... I'm happy with that price.

It was a much better buy than the GnR I paid a hell of a lot more for through a supplier in Melbourne that had a piece of wire for a washer... end result, the "washer" failed and I ended up with a screw protruding through the playfield.

Off topic, but speaking of Dr Who... whoever owns the one at the Family In in Rydalmere NSW, it needs fixing!
