Thanks Guys very happy just set it up played a couple of games and it plays very nice, multiball second game.
No decals Gav all original cabinet in pretty good nic with good color. The whole game is original with the usual bumps and bruises for a 35 year old game but as long as they play nice and are reliable that's the way I like em a bit of wear and tear adds to the charter in my opinion.
As well as a pretty decent cabinet the backglass presents well compared to a lot I have seen as does the playfield. Both have a couple of touch ups/wear spots but no big deal.New driver board as well.
I saw this machine for sale at the start of this year but at the time I was looking at another one closer to home which fell through and by the time I got back to this one it had sold. I looked back through the old add and noticed the buyer made a comment that it was his second FP so I took a punt and contacted him and asked him if he was interested in selling and lucky for me he was and the rest is history.
He was a great guy to deal with very honest explaining all the machines pros and cons in great detail and providing heaps of pics..even thought I hadn't viewed the machine I felt very comfortable dealing with him. In chatting about different things it turns out he knows Nino and said to say giday to you Nino his name is Jeff and he is from Gosford and is into a lot of the same machines as you..said you would know him.
One question I did notice that one of the LED's under the playfield remained slightly illuminated after I turned the machine off and even remained on when I unplugged it from the wall....any ideas??
Here are a few more pics will do a game play video when I get used to it.
Cheers...Tim

Probably has a cap tied to it somehow... LED will gradually dim as cap discharges

I know Jeff - he is a great guy to deal with. Straight up and honest. you have a VERY well looked after game - so I'm pleased you now own his former machine.

LEDs behave differently than incandescent. Different quality in LEDs and the way new technology works on old hardware.

The game is currently set at a medium mode via dip switch settings i.e you have to hit all 6 standups in one ball to light up one of the three randomly selected ball save/locks. If you don't hit all 6 centre targets in that ball its not saved so start again - gives you a bit a target to aim for.
Well done on getting multiball 2nd game in. Its a frustrating game at times as you work hard at building multiball and its so easily lost.
Tip is getting the spinner lit + excellent points right there
