I have looked at the gameowrx site and the pinball shed site, both look very good. Are there any others?
Otherwise there might be something pop up on ebay.

Ken owner of (The Pinball warehouse) only sells shopped out games, worth a visit to the warehouse as he always has 5 - 6 games on freeplay at the front of the warehouse for customers to play.

Cheers guys, got lukcy with this. I was talking to my brother on the Sunny coast just about random stuff and the subject of pins came up, he said he knew of a guy that had one for sale so he organised a viewing. We rocked over and had a few games( hadn't seen one before let alone played one and was really impressed, I think steve ritchie has done a cool job on this) and made him an offer pretty much straight away.
Luckily for me he accepted, so waiting for a time for my brother to bring it down in his ute. Game On!! *%*

Random talk can get you into all sorts of trouble.
A random chat in the pub 25 years ago gave me my first pinball... for FREE!.. all i had to do was fix it. Was a stunning example of a Segasa Travel Time.
Guy rang me a year or so back... can i fix some machines for him.
A random chat led him to pick up Addams family and Jurassic Park... all for $2000.
I approached him for the TAF, but several days later he had randomly found that he wanted to sell it for $6K!!!

Wow, i like the free pinball for a fix deal. I wonder how many pins are sitting in garages, storage etc, haven't been played or loved in ages and the owners just want to offload them?
2k for addams and jp, how good would that be!!!!! Sell em both and buy a CV or a TOM I would. %$%
6k for an addams ::),I guess somebody would pay that much for one but it sure as hell wouldn't be me.
