hey mark I have some questions re: the test car that pops up from the playfield on this pin?? !@#

can you or one of your techs help

thanks in advance

Your GP has cleaned up well, the artwork on the playfield is magic, best of luck with the sale mate, pins in this condition don't last long

cheers

How have you found your GP, reliability wise, V8racefan ?

Has it been ok in general apart from the current problem ?

very very reliable, the new sterns are very well built. This is the 1st and only stern pinball I've owned, and I must say I'm very pleased with both the quality, artwork and reliability.

The minor maintenance issue i have at the moment is with a micro switch, which do wear out from time to time, easy fix.

I just can't say anything bad about this pin, it ticks all the boxes for this pinhead. Hope this helps.

Just put the question to you because a local tech i had out to repair my Shadow a few weeks ago
said in his opinion i'd be better to avoid the late model pins and stick to the 90's Williams/Bally.

Everyone has their own opinion.

Personally i liked the GP i played a few weeks ago up here, but not worth $5500.

Decision time for me. I have the GP photos from Mark today.

It's always difficult to buy sight unseen, but it does look like it's come
up nice judging by the photos.

That's a great idea.

So who would be willing to do me a favour and take a look at the GP before i commit ? Anyone ?

Or does this come across as though i don't trust Marks description/photos ?  !@)

I will say that i bought a pinball from Mark 3 months ago and was happy enough.

I think that's a reasonable request for your own peace of mind.  I'm sure someone located close to Mark will put their hand up  ^^^
