whirlwind has no fan and no mention of the fact. lost in space is rare for a reason lol
Yep the old shady listing technique..... ' I wont mention the missing major part , hopefully a noob will buy it and be none the wiser, and I can always cover myself by saying I showed everything in the pictures '

Shame backglass has been painted over in the middle.

never seen one in the UK. I'm not going to get into the Tobin debate but bringing in odd ball games is all good in my book

Strange how it goes. £1895
about a grand more than I would go for. Only ever played a few games on one. Not a great machine by any standard but I've played worse. I'd have one for 6 months or so for the novelty.
Sega's are definitely the underdog of the pin world. I've had a Godzilla (it's OK), SST (I like it), BF (OK) and ID4 (I liked it). For me they feel less clunky than DE machines but they picked some real dogs of films for themes. Twister, LIS, BF, Godzilla, SST all presumably thought to be real blockbusters

Whirlwind, without the wind.. would love a whirlwind though, but not that one.
Fan, motor etc are available from suppliers..... Marco in US has them, and pretty sure the topper and decals also. Obviously gonna cost a bit :-/

You may recall this High Speed was on at £1k last November and didn't get a bid. I went and looked at the Barracora you can see next to it. Despite some comments on the forum at the time I bought it for half the asking price and have been very pleased with it. I found the seller very helpful and genuine. I only had a quick look at the HS and to be honest I'm such a novice my opinion isn't worth much but externally it looked pretty clean and complete. He inherited these two machines and is honest in saying he doesn't know much about them. He told me his father in law bought them new and kept them at his factory. I believe this to be true based on condition and paperwork he had.

It looks a pretty sad high speed to me. Which is a shame as this was a great game when it came out.

Nasty looking error message
Playfield worn to the wood in several places
Battery corrosion damage
Looks like one to merge with another game to create a cracker

like funhouse and space shuttle they tend to be worn out as they were played to death.
ive got a spare playfield somewhere but its probably no better
a waiting game one thinks. see if it gets no bids then offer £££

It's been shilled, either someone left an automatic maximum on or it's another identity for the seller.

Well, actually it is a fun game to play........
But guessing bidders have not realized it has been re-painted below drops and is not correct artwork.
had one in 1988. came from Llanfairfechan pier along with spannish eyes and doozie. all 3 were on a shelf so no legs. and 5p a go. very hard to complete the drop bank. not bad game for £33.33
What do you guys make of this?:

Listed many times.Games will be very tired examples at best. Don't even think about it.

They've been trying to sell that lot for years 
Unless you can go to Italy and pick out the specific games you want then I'd steer well clear of it

What they said /\/\/\ unfortunately
Don't be put off, but make sure you've examined pictures very closely. Then examine them again.
If you're not prepared/competent to do your own work on them, you probably shouldn't buy, but if you're happy to get your hands dirty and have 10,000 Eur that you're not too bothered about wiring across before seeing them in person, go for it
There are some diamonds in the rough but tread with caution.

If that's the same lot as sends out monthly email with hundreds of pics then don't write them off too soon - I've bought from them and so has @JCRox and we've both had good experiences
I'm a gambling man and took the risk, over paid on a couple and under on others, but as mentioned earlier inspection of the pictures is all you have to go by and you have to be willing to accept there will be issues to discover and fix. Also I had a punt when the euro was weak making prices acceptable.
