WELL guys, today i left home a 6.30AM to drive down to Port Macquarie, Ian (howzat on here) came along for the drive, then on to Laurieton to pick up my KISS pin that i scored last week
We got there about 11.30AM, and when we tried to power it up and start a game.. well wouldnt you know it... it decided not to work properly, the owner said it worked sometimes after switching it on and off a few times
anyway i wasnt put off by that at all, especially after i got into the back box and wiggled a few connectors and things started to work. So at that point i switched it off and started to take it apart to load it into the car. so that buggered up Howzats plans of having a game before i packed it up!! oh well he'll just have to come out to Armidale and play it when its done
ended up paying $3000 to get it.. a bit pricey?? well maybe considering the backglass issues (more on that later) but i look at it this way... if its a pin you've been looking for for a LONG time, get it while the getting's good, and KISS is just that.. one i have always said that if one came my way for the right price i'd grab it
Any pin is only worth, imo, what someone is willing to pay for it, and although this one is a pretty tired example of a KISS now.. it'll look good when im done with it.. (I HOPE)
AND i sold two fender guitars to raise the rest of the money to buy it, something i swore id never do.. but they were guitars i didnt use that much anyway, so they were sold in a good cause!!
Anyway time for a few pics... the cab paint is pretty faded, definitely getting a respray!! and NO hack repairs under the pf, which was a nice change to see. Only one broken drop target. Indeed being my holy grail title it will get the full treatment, to the best of my abilities.
