Thinking about trading my Black Rose.

Only got it a couple of months ago, primarily as a project for me and my mate to get stuck into. That's half the fun for me.

It was pretty sorry cosmetically when we got it but we've rescued her.



Before and after pics can be found in user albums.



We fully stripped it and cleaned each individual part, polished all the visible screw heads and bolts and gave the pf the treasure cove treatment. We cleaned all the ball troughs, vuk cups and subways.



New balls, full black rubber kit and left flipper coil, fixed the sub which had 2 large capacitors on it stopping it from working, fixed a few switches and generally got her back to full health.



The cabinet is nice and unfaded both sides, the right side has very slight fading. There are a few scuffs which is to be expected.

The front of the cab has obviously at some stage been forced, presumably to break off a security bar as the inside is splintered and the front has been filled and painted black. This is now fading and cracking and covers some of the art work and will need to be refilled and painted if it bothers you. I can send pics of this on request.



The black legs are in excellent condition with no chips or marks.



There is one error on start up which is switch 16, right trough. This is a brand new switch and just requires some adjustment. It matters not to the game so ive left it.



There is insert wear to sink ship letters and a few others, and the front of the cannon where the housing meets the pf, see pics for details. A couple of plastics with corners snapped but the slingshots are fine and now have bullet washers to protect them, some of the plastics have discoloured slightly yellow but im being picky.



It's a great pick up and play pin, not deep but still challenging.



I'm looking to trade if possible but would sell if you wanted.



Looking for the following in particular

BoP

Taxi

Whirlwind

Bttf

Not fussed about cab or a bit of insert wear on the pf, as long as it doesn't look like a bare sheet of ply!!



But try me if you have anything else.



Not interested in the following due to previous ownership



Hurricane

Fishtales

Dr Who

Rfm

JP

A13



I'm located in Ipswich.



If you require any further pics I'll do my best to oblige



Please contact off list to discuss. Gazshiells@yahoo.com



If I think of anything else I'll let you know.



Regards

Gaz
 
I think the clue is in the 'Owned' bit of his signature...

Yes mate sorry I need to up date the tab. Sold it to a splendid chap in London off the group as his first pin.
 
He also inherited the Adams broadside mod!! Did you see that Darren? I put a pic up for ya
 
Oh no, you're in for a treat. Type black rose mod into the search bar it should come up. It was about a month or so ago.
 
Found it, but for some strange reason its not letting me see the pictures ?

Will try again tomorrow.
 
Linky? Can't see it myself...



Glad you found a buyer for it Gaz. I'll have a Rosie one day !
 
Thanks Gaz! It's me that's the proud owner. She's been getting plenty of broadsides in the last month or so!

Still haven't beaten Simon's highscore though! (am at 71 mil)

Been enjoying getting inside and replacing the odd lamp and keeping her ship shape. Beginning of a dangerously costly hobby I'm sure.

Cheers again.
 
Haha, indeed! Am North-East - up in Manor House. Are you around here too?
