Hey from WA
« on: September 26, 2010, 09:46:30 PM »
Kwik G'day.
Recently purchased my 1st pin, a beautiful condition 'Demo Man' (one of my Grails) here in Perth ... Thx to Chillie, Gibo, Joe & Dizamo  ^^^ .. and as Gib has so eloquently said .. "I have caught the disease!"  ()

Have held off joining this forum until I had my 1st pin ... so here I am.  Been everything Arcade for me for years (regularly frequent AA).. until this pin ... and I can see tides a-changin' in the future #@#
Better start some trolling me thinks.

Cheers all.

Yes .. a very lucky man with the Demo purchase.  Amazed at this 16 year old pin.  Probably three marks on the entire cab/headbox.  No fading.  No playfield wear.  Looks like hasn't been shopped in a while .. but still gr8.  Very very clean inside and plays gnarly  () Manuals including operators manual... and after speaking with Chillie (previous owner) and Joe about its known history .. this baby appears to have been HUO.  Even the mechs don't appear to have been installed with the mech frames like brand new and the harnesses cable tied neatly from factory.  Would absolutely explain its condition.

Howdy Spriggy, glad to see you on AP and great meeting you at Joe's.
No doubt you will catch the Pinbug now that you have put your toe in the water.
Congrats too on a very nice first machine - always the best start in this hobby IMHO.
