Sold Bundle, three machines and host of spares £5k

[BobWood]

I have decided to sell my pinball machines and associated bits and pieces. The machines are, Sega Space Jam, Bally Black Rose and Bally Lost World.

Sega Space Jam
The good, everything works, playfield in reasonable condition (more on this later, LEDs throughout (including the LED OCD board, colour DMD (original included - see spares list). New set of Rottendog boards (originals included - see spares list)
The bad, cabinet is faded and has a few scuffs. The jump ball cover (the big orange baseball) is damaged. Wabbit hole has a lot of wear (fitted a cliffy protector but it didn't last long so made my own from 2mm stainless, works a treat but not the tidiest of installations.
Other information. I did some work on tidying the wiring a few years back, as a result of that I have a spreadsheet with all of the details on (board/connector/pin, wire guage, colours, destination, designation, etc.) comes in handy for troubleshooting. there is a small collection of figures that go with the theme, fit the inside or out as you wish. all locks are now keyless (2 on back board and one on coin door).
Overall, easy to play fan layout many different jackpot/multiball modes (5 ball multiball is a bit frantic). Good machine for starter, has selection of switches, VUK, captive ball, magnets multi levels, ramps, etc. ideal for a beginner to learn about pinball.

Bally Black Rose
The good, everything works, playfield in very good condition, colour DMD (original included - see spares list), LED throughout, new cannon assembly fitted. alternate translight fitted (original included - see spares list).
The bad - cabinet faded and has some scuffs, etc.
Overall, easy to play, both lock are keyless, has coin tray.

Bally Lost World
The Good, everything works, LEDs throughout, LED score counters (originals included - see spares list). Playfield in playable condition.
the bad, cabinet is in need of a repaint/re-decal/re-stancil . playfield showing signs of wear, would benefit from new overlay (I was going to have a go but I'm just a bit long in the tooth for big projects these days). some of the lamps are intermittent (annoying one, this, put new holders in and still goes off, open the playfield, turn the holder a bit and it comes back on (there was a shop log a while back where someone did a refurb on a Lost World and used a flat LED over the bonus counter holes, sounds like the cure). the backglass has started to flake, a failed attempt to fix it has left it looking somewhat strange with white patches. Still, it plays well and is a firm favourite with guests because of the simple play.

Spares
There are a few boards, some new and unused, some used but working and a couple used and in need of a fix (there are only two boards that fit in the last category one old one from Lost world and a CPU board from Space Jam (there is a working CPU board from Space Jam included in the spares)
Original DMDs from Space Jam and Black Rose
Original score counters from Lost World.
There is a new, unused Altek CPU board for Black Rose (well, good for a range of machines but has Black Rose chips installed.
other spares include a host of 'bits and pieces' that come in handy. a range of screws, bolts, nuts, washers, etc. Selection of coils, sleeves and bushes, switches and other hardware. A selcetion of LED and incandescent lamps and fuses. various connectord c/w crimp pins (various sizes including the larger Molex power one. selection of transistors, chips (including a couple of PIAs), some chip holder, chip pullers, etc.
There are several other electronic bits that I can trow in as well if required.

Just ran to the 50 files only limitation so will reply to this thread with more pics

Hello Bob....

Now you might tell me to get lost - but if I was you I would put the original DMDs back in these games and sell the colour DMDs on here as separate listings. Sell the altek on its own. Then list the machines as 3 listings.

You already have the photos, so you have done the hard work.

The only people that usually buy 3 machines like this kind of deal would be a dealer and they would not give you what you want.

Good luck with the sale but I think splitting them will get them sold quicker.

Phil.

Hope you are keeping well Bob, if you need a hand with anything let me know.

Not sure if Hadfields come down your road, cant remember if you said they did. If not your are welcome to have Hadfields collect from my garage, I will come up in my van and pick them up and put them in the garage if it helps.

Good luck, splitting would be better like has been said but not sure you would want all the hassle or up for it.

Anyway, let me know if you need a hand mate especially if you have a keg on the go

Anyone interest Bob is a really nice bloke.

Yes, thanks for that, it had crossed my mind to do something like that but, in all honesty, I don't like the idea of 'dowgrading' a machine to sell it. I'm sure I could probably make a bit more if I split it up and sold things separately but, it is the hassle of doing that. If there is someone with a bit of spare cash and a bit of space, they could do that and probably move the machines on and make a little proffit.
I really think it would suit someone getting into the hobby, instead of buying one £5k machine, they get tgree and enough bits to get them well on the way.
We'll see how we go for now, there are other bits that may be thrown in such as, pump up jack table to move machines around, solder station, desolder station, usb microscope, board holder, etc., etc. just a bit of a faff bunbling into small bite sized lots, rather make it someone else's job

Wow what a bargain for someone

Yeah - but I think this probably would of sold already in separate lots.
I do get you on removing the Colordmds.
Perhaps someone may PM you with an offer for individual pins. Perhaps you should consider putting a 'will split' on the listing.
I think someone new to the hobby would be terrified taking on three. Most newbies seem to buy a single machine and then they multiply.
There is logic to both our thinkings I think bud.
Hope it works out.

Had a great time playing these today, beer was pretty good too

Buyer will be very happy!

Cheers Bob, my round next

I understand your viewpoint but, for me, it is really about logistics. If I split them then there is a likelyhood of three separate pickups. This way there is only one ten hour drive for pickup (living out here in the wild west has its advantages but there are some, very few, disadvantages)

Was good to see you both
