New Pin
« on: March 18, 2011, 12:06:18 AM »
Picked up my new Firepower today,  $#$

Purchased from marcowolf on AA, its in nice original condition. Marc did a great job in wrapping it up on a pallet and sent it up to me via e-go. I stripped it down to get it of my ute, will probably paint cabinet on this one, has plenty of scratches up one side and the back piece of chipboard is ordinary. Backglass looks great and would be a 10 if not for scratches, still plenty of colour and no lifting. Playfield is in great condition with a couple of small chips. The back box is really nice, would be the cleanest in original condition out of my williams pins.
Under playfield also tidy. Heres some pics.

Wow, that is nice! You don't play the cabinet so I wouldn't worry about the scratches. Playfield looks really nice. That's gotta be the nicest FP backglass I've seen in years, well done.

BG and PF look to be in great condition Dave  .. congrats on scoring yourself a Firepower  ^^^.
Unfortunately most of the arrow inserts have lifted on mine (yours look Ok ?) but I don't want to remove the factory mylar so will have to live with it for now

BG pic flattered it a bit, did not really show up scratches, here is a higher res of back/front.
Dave, about half the arrow inserts have lifted slightly.

Yes really looking forward to a game on FP, I'll
Take note of your score Dave, see how we go.
Having another look at cabinet, it's only one side that's
Really bad and most scratches and marks are in the black.
I might have a go at masking up the art and spraying the black.

Cheers
Dave

Looks like a great example, has been a run of these on ebay lately. 3 or 4 in the last month or so.

Dave that is one nice Firepower,

wish my backglass was half as good as that one!

Solar Its typical after I had gone to great lengths to buy Mine it seemed Ebay was flooded with them ......

nothing better than the first couple of games Enjoy Dave !
