I left at 5pm. Arrived at 10pm. Home at 4am. 688 miles, £300 + £100 for diesel. It cleaned up nicely but the flippers need attention. The guy told me the phone had rung non-stop since he listed it.

Well played Sir. Supreme effort! Sounds like it was worth it. Enjoy your bargain!
Had similar Gumtree couple years back with a 400 Demo Man. Basically dropped everything and went, only about 100 miles though, by time I got there the guy had had soooo many messages and calls, he was asking me he had maybe underpriced it

Was still over priced for a DM according to you though eh GrizZ?
Oh yeah, I phoned him up 2 days later and demanded a refund on the basis that it is absolutely zero fun to play. He refused, and was actually quite rude to me ;-)
@rowansalger1973 regarding your flipper issues, I wouldn't mind betting if it's the right flipper in particular, you'll need a new opto board. £30 from pinballmania I think. I fixed one the other week which had a really weak right flipper. Good as gold since fitting that board.
sounds like a bit of a leap there Gazza
ha ha. I do hope you eat those words! . Keep us posted @rowansalger1973

i reckon they will just need new end stops, new sleeves, maybe new springs, maybe a quick file of the plunger to get the chuff off.
goodness how exciting wondering what it might turn out to be!!
here are some gifs of a Komodo eating a pig, a man riding a pig, and a pelican eating a pig-eon while we wait for news.

Not sure I'll sleep until I know
Bought a theatre out of local bargain pages for £150 in 2009. Guy 3 miles away and we went immediately. Was in a car garage. Phone ringing constanly whilst we were there.

Just spent a few hours playing with my new toy. It's the bottom left and upper left flippers that are the main problem. Won't hold in the up position. All of the flippers are a little suspect. Test program shows several flipper end of switch faults. I think all four flippers need an overhaul.
Good catch. Saw the ad and figured it would be too stressful dealing with a machine at the other end of the country. Can you imagine getting there and finding someone local had gazumped you
Glad it's gone to a good home

Hi, rowan,
That suggests the secondary 'hold' windings on those two units aren't working; do the flipper paddles move (even a twitch) when pulsing the secondary circuits in 'Flipper Test'? Or can the pulses be felt while holding the paddle raised?. With the 'parallel-wound' coils, the flippers would also be down on power if the secondaries aren't working.
The End-of-Stroke switches aren't critical to flipper operation with the Fliptronic/Fliptronic II systems. In fact, some gonk may have deliberately sabotaged them to prevent the flippers from 'chattering' when they fail to hold.
There is a fun house on ebay, no pictures, no reserve but looking for offers based in Manchester, sounds genuine....
Cant begin to imagine how many messages/offers he has had already. Good luck with that feed frenzy [emoji2]
****ing typical. I raid the new car fund to buy my FH, which monumentally ****ed off the missus. I justify it somehow by saying how rarely they come up and now this the 3rd one in as many weeks. You couldn't write it.
In other news, anyone for a Riverboat "Bambler" classic

What sort of a savage posts links through the .com site, so the prices appear in dollars
Not sure I follow.
US site not UK
Anybody get the non working spares or repair Last Action Hero off ebay that had bids cancelled and no longer for sale? or shall we wait to see if it is 'flipped' 
I'm still lost! Are you referring to the link? Because when I click it, it goes to a Riverboat Gambler on eBay UK displayed in pounds! Or am I missing something else here.
was showing in $ but now £'s, strange?
Wouldn't the location be the place to look.
70+ watchers is normal, most are just tracking the market and have no intention to bid or buy, tips wise, lie through yer teeth, works like a charm for some people
When my JD had a weak right flipper it was because I couldn't be ****d to press it, or the left one either, only messing, jealous I didn't bag a £300 DreddSpecially for @cooldan :
When my JD had a weak right flipper it was the transistor on the fliptronic PCB...
