For Sale - Restored Gottlieb Pro football
« on: July 31, 2012, 12:31:48 AM »
Fully Restored Pro Football is FOR SALE. Asking price is $2500

Restoration thread can be found here - http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=98.0

A brief rundown

The aim was to bring this game "back from the dead" and really push my restoration skills. Time or expense didn't matter.
Any reproduction part I could buy was bought - Coin Door and hardware included
Every single part was cleaned, polished, repaired or replaced
All mechanisms were rebuilt
Cabinet was replaced and repainted using the highest quality paints and stencils from Gavin (Retropin)
Playfield was touched up and only the touched up areas were clearcoated.
Legs are original and in excellent condition
Game works on 20 cent coins, or I can set to Free Play

I've probably missed some points that are detailed in the Restoration thread. This game is easily the best I've done in years, and I'd say I've spent 150+ hours on this machine. I am VERY fussy with my restorations, and this game works absolutely perfectly. Members who are interested are welcome to play it. I can deliver and setup in Melbourne metro for free. I can mummify and organize interstate transport. I'd rather offer it here than eBay. I respectfully think it is worth more than what I'm asking, but I think it is a great opportunity for someone to own a game in this condition.

The restoration of this Machine is stunning Nino. I'm sure it won't stay on the market for long.

Time to test the EM market. Throw the cat amongst the pigeons, let the bull loose in the china shop and throw the baby out with the bathwater  @.@
