Yep I am after a BAYWATCH
« on: April 19, 2016, 12:11:30 PM »
For some reason I would like to own a BAYWATCH, still don't know why?
Is there any out there, preferably in WA? Seen a couple on the usual public selling sites, but I know a pinhead somewhere can't wait for it to leave their line up.
Cheers Andy

Good luck with the search, I've always enjoyed playing it when I've come across it. There use to be one in Batemans Bay I'd play a bit but its no longer there unfortunately.

it is a fun game with lots to do, enjoyed it why I had one - forced sale

I added mirror blades and a shark on the left side and really finished it off nice.

here is a video I took with the goal to show the 3 different skill shots (1 one on each ball launch)

Thanks all, there is a Dude called Oscar that is selling one in Vic, one on eBay and one on gumtree different prices  !@#
I am not aware of him and this is the reason I would like one in WA as I can see for myself.
Oscar's one seems quite nice with a colour DMD? Is he a bloke who is a member here?

Oscar is "Pinmem" and he does have a section in the members 'sales and services'.
Haven't seen much activity from him for a while, he's a bit more active on AA.

I have bought a machine from him in the past and was reasonable happy with the way it turned out. Though a friend of mine bought a machine from him with 'minimal wear' and thought he had been given photos that covered all the wear spots, not the case. Game was a wreck. This was a few years back now.

I've found he's a bit hit and miss with level of details in his listings so tread carefully. Could see if one of the locals could check the game out for you.
Fairly sure Nino knows him and has occasional dealings with him. Maybe fling him a PM.

If others have more current dealings that were positive, I'm happy for my opinions to be considered outdated and be wrong.
Cheers

Thanks Dude  ^^^ This is why I would prefer WA based so I can see for myself, especially on a 20 year old machine.
I might send them a message and see pricing but don't want to waste their time. Surprised no pinheads want to move this along for GB  !@#
