Never thought I would sell this as I still think its the best looking machine, love the playfield and love the game, but need to make some room and would like somebody else to enjoy this.

I am going to ask £3200 for it, I will never get my money back on this one as I spent loads on it, I will try and list everything I did, no part ex or offers please, I need to free up a bit of space for my CNC machine as want to get BB8 finished.
Rebult the main flippers including coils and cabinet switches.
The elvis figure had a chipped finger, so I got a new arm, but then the rest looked dull, so I then order a complete Elvis figure
Replaced the Hound Dog
Replaced the upper playfield, I ordered 2, so you will also get a spare new one
Full set of ROMs as was not in English when I got it.
New right Ramp from Phil, wanted to do the left, but could not find one.
Premium LED's from pinball LED including the pop bumper ring LED's
White rubber kit was installed after full strip down of top playfield
New flipper bats and super bands
Cabinet is nice and has working coin mech, located in Shrewsbury, Martin is also due anytime to collect Avatar if you want to use him.

Many Thanks

Awwww man. I played one of these in the local arcade and even though it was in dreadful condition it was still a blast to play.

I really wish I had the cash. Good luck with the sale.
 
As it was your favourite, you'll only miss it and want another..... there's always room somewhere. ;)
 
It was this or BTDK, but only had it a few weeks and have ordered a load of bits from Phil including full plastic kit which is due next week, so Batman will also be very nice when I let that go, but once again I will ask £3200 for that which is what I paid and so far have ordered £500 worth of stuff for it, but I know you cant just add on what you spend, so I am losing money on each pin, but I enjoy doing them up a bit and like turning them around.
If I had the room I really would keep every pin and just build a monster collection..........
 
Looks like a non skill post version. I'm sure an elvis fan would cherish this machine
 
Yes no skill posts, I had a T3 with skill posts and for some reason I just didn't like it and have avoided any machines that have them now.
 
You might get more interest on ebay from Elvis fans who otherwise would never own a pinball machine. Put it on ebay, drop a few links on some Elvis fan pages on Facebook etc...

Thanks, but I thought I would see if anybody else wants to enjoy it on here, if no interest I am happy to keep it, so I wont be listing this one on ebay, its nice to keep them in the group and see them go to different members and who knows might do a full circle and end back up with me............
 
although an ELVIS superfan is ideal customer , Robert is right that they would take it out of circulation as they are buying it because its ELVIS and not pinball. I see this happen with Star Wars machines (pins videos and fruits) , the buyers are often not die hard gamers just SW nuts
 
mine I had for 6 month came from a pub gone bust , went to Keith Kettering and a few other pinheads after him! Maybe he can advise where it is now.

Of course. Was just offering a suggestion if Robert needed to sell it to make space quickly. Obviously we all want to see pinballs kept in circulation for us all to enjoy.

Wow! that was a few years ago now Steve. ;) Just checked and it was back in the Summer of 2011 when I traded Elvis for a Monopoly and a bit of cash. No idea where that one went to after it's next owner.
 
If is does not go in 2 weeks I will let BTDK go, only reason I didnt list that as just waiting on a full plastic kit from Phil as it has one broken plastic.
 
I thought I packed it up well and covered the whole thing :)
Im missing it already, but I can now bring the POTC in which has been in my van for a while
 
Elvis all the way, its a great fun pin, it looked so nice with all the red and purple LEDs, was great to play and the music was great, only thing I wish they did was put more Elvis tracks on there.
Only had POTC set up a day, seems OK but does not stand out like the Elvis or my BTDK, I expect it will be the next one to go when I find a Scared Stiff.
