Yeah it would but they went to the extend of doing backglass art and plastics..., I am wondering how much of the original machine is under it all

Yeah but Tony, if there's nothing in the backbox then it's just a huge paperweight or carpet keeper
Or is it a one off? Some people strive to be different?
I do understand what you are saying thou, if it's one thing then people will want spares or parts even if it's rubbish. But if it's something else then who knows? I think you've played a blinder doing a deal dependant on boards.
It could go the other way and with some research and back story? Someone might want to pay handsomely for it?
You must have some stacks of paper?

Stacks of paper?
I'm not surprised. It looks more like a re-themed Gottlieb playfield than Bally.
I would suggest it was most certainly playable (pretty pointless otherwise) and that battery acid damage may be the reason why it's a none worker and being sold as is. It'll be interesting to see what scoring (if any) it has.
Williams 4 Roses £450 anyone?

Not here Courtney. The original idea of this post was to stop forum members accidentally bidding against each other, and in 5 years on here I've never heard of that happening.
OK, I have done a deal on it. £200 delivered to Birmingham, here goes ..... I've either got a bargain or a box of junk but worth the gamble I think.
He'd mentioned to me that he was getting one in
Nice one. You'd have been great on bullseye with your gambling skills. Hell, there might even be a speedboat in there
I guess you're all laughing at me now for taking such a risk...
Nonsense. I reckon you probably did ok there and look forward to reading all about your adventures in restoring it
All the best Courtney - i got a EWF courtesy from @steve brum that iv'e yet to do really anything with - M/Fcave done but left for a few hours with the heating on and spot what arrived without me knowing - not happy

Ooohhhh I have always wanted to try Apollo 13
You want to try the clothes horse aswell? my 13 N° balls were already rusty - these are new ones - damn SWMBO

If it wasn't being sold by a complete bell-end, I'd have done a deal on that by now
I wouldn't bother. It was my first machine and couldn't wait to swap it. 13 ball multi ball is a waste of about 10 balls!
Will all depend on when you open it up
Can't see any displays or score reels, who knows re: boards and whether there's anything under the pf. I'd try and get into it as best you can when you go and collect cause if it's just the cab with a load of fairy lights wired in then you want to walk away, no matter how much it ****es them off 
Puddlewick, when did you take those.
I took the photos on the 16th of December. I saw the machine on the drum farm antiques web site for sale for £250, happened to be in edinburgh & went in past to have a look ! It wasn't there & I assumed sold ! I went to some other antique warehouses & came across it at shapes antique market & auction house where the photos were taken. (Believe that drum farm sell goods at the market). Hope that helps ?

Slight??!!!!
Courtney, the work that goes into these re-themed machines is interesting. What do you intend to do with it should you get it?

Thing is i've never seen a bad zac playfield up until that Robot.
@astyy I intend to make it run as it is. The photo's provided by @puddlewick suggest this game was redesigned to actually run, so curious how far the transformation went, how the back glass was done, how the top light was programmed etc? The art may not be the best but it does look like it was converted semi-professionally. If it does play and is is restorable as it is then it's most certainly unique...
Gotcha, you're a mad person
I guess if it was a popular re-brand theme such as the Sailor Jerry Rum EM it would reflect in price ie £900+ for the last one of those on eBay.On the subject of Sailor Jerry they have a blog post on their website of

Cool, the only other option is to re-theme it... Really depends what's in the backbox. Whether it's EM or SS etc...
Hi guys gals having a bid on the judge dread on ebay atm anyone care to chip in some advice for a rookie ? pictures are crap but it looks in fair nic though the blur lol ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bally-Jud...eaa63c888:g:Lu4AAOSw-zxWoaWu&autorefresh=true
Hello Justin welcome, I'd be asking him about when he last changed the battery's on the CPU board, he says he's not used it for 5 years? These can leak and damage the board. If it has leaked when he turns it on it won't "Remember" the last high scores today's date, it's on FREEPLAY etc... If he has to go into the buttons each time the machine switched off this could be an issue? Or it could just need the battery's replacing? I once asked a chap this and his response was, it plugs into the mains!!!!!!
