Another operator find. Yes that's correct. Stored for many years in dry storage. Picked up last week. Setup and sorted a few faults out with it. Non booting etc but now all sorted. Here's my quick summary on it now i've set it up and been through everything.

Gonna make and absolutely lovely game once workshopped. Lovely playfield. Needs a rerubber and clean obviously but in great shape overall. Needs a new slot machine scoop as welds have bust. Also need a magna flip sign and for some reason the rocket metal guide is missing. Clock works amazingly. Gumball works. Power playfield works. Dmd perfect, dmd panel nice. Translite ok, needs a clean. Cabinet faded, but solid. Back nice and straight. Coin door could do with some work. Power ball present. Usual trigger happy power ball detection on trough eject.

Early game serial number. Has extra post holes near pops. Not green lock but early main version.

Fixed various faults on it inc shooter rod, diagnostic buttons, non booting board set, weird dmd/fliptronic corruption fault, lamp column lamp fault, various playfield lamps and switches, new flipper rubbers and balls for testing. Latest L9.4H game rom installed.

Would like to keep myself probably, but the thought of moving it downstairs and the fact i'm mostly fixing or making new electronics 24/7 and not playing much pinball other than testing repairs is making me list is here first. Plus the pinball mojo is low right now. May be listing ghostbusters to soon.

£3250. Cash on collection or use specialist courier. Open to offers and trades (other williams titles mainly or an r-type dedicated arcade cabinet) but would prefer straight sale.

Pics below. Red legs are just my setup set. Std chrome included.

Oh dear. Ok then, a few things.

Yes i run a full time business that makes new hardware for pinball and arcade games, repairs old pinballs, restores old pinballs, rewrites software for old pinballs, makes new mods for pinballs
Yes i buy and sell the occasional pinball game which are broken and then sell them when working. Sometimes i restore them, sometimes not.
Yes i want to make money, as this allows me to live in my house and develop new products

If you have a problem with something, then please say it straight to my face in person or with your real user account. Don't hide behind a fake account....

Now back to making new products.
 
As I understand it, the definition of 'flipping' goes something like "selling on quickly, for a mark-up, without doing much significant work"

Whereas myPinballs clearly stated the following;

Fixed various faults on it inc shooter rod, diagnostic buttons, non booting board set, weird dmd/fliptronic corruption fault, lamp column lamp fault, various playfield lamps and switches, new flipper rubbers and balls for testing. Latest L9.4H game rom installed.

Judged against that, what would count as significant work?
