Just for fun 🤩

Your worst pinball machine extraction?

Mine was a loft conversion flat in a Kensington four storey building on a Friday evening

Mousin’ Around for £250 but the guy never mentioned the building the lack of parking the traffic wardens nor the ****ty neighbour who wouldn’t let me park near the property as it was resident permit only and the fact he inherited it as part of the flat purchase and had no idea how it got up the twisty Victorian stairs to start with

He then refused to help because “he didn’t do manual labour”

I was unaccompanied

That was fun

My 2nd CFTBL
Upper floor in a house, the stairs were weird plastic moulded ones that weren’t straight but raised left to right..
had never seen them before and was really awkward coming down them
 
STTNG, at the top of a 4 storey house in a gated security entrance/community in Weybridge.
Marble stairs and expensive wallpaper, had a cheap sack truck that was flexing.
My mate met me there and damaged his shoulder taking the wait as the marble stairs had an overhang and didn’t want to crack or snap them🫣
Also the tyres were very soft and needed more air.
He moaned for a while about that😂

Good price though after negotiating with their agent!
 
Also a STTNG.

Top of a spiral staircase in a mansion (big spiral staircase to be fair). The backbox had to come off and it was still ridiculous.
 
Not me personally but my STTNG, my drive is wonky which I didn't realise @BigIan was delivering and it tipped off the the trolly god knows how he caught most of it, I think he nearly broke his arm. It was my first machine so didn't know if I should help or guide, my first thought was damn that machine now f***CK* (well not really it was is biglan ok) and damn is it now f.....

To top it off my ally at the back is shorter at one end than the other and it's 30 inches, which means about 2mil clearance on STTNG at first I didn't think it would even get in and I'd have to take the fence down 🤣🤣🤔
 
5 pins out of a cellar with a hatch an inch bigger than a backbox on its end. Games were free but 4 strong lads on the payroll and we still took a day.

All pins from trust Leisure had to come down by block and tackle 2 floors but at least they got them down

One load was 8 x sttng 2 x black rose and the infamous £10 rocky n bull****
