For Sale Fish Tales - £2750 OBO

[VeeMonroe]

Here selling my player's condition (with some jazzy bits) Fish Tales to open up a 'rotator' slot.

We've had it for about five years' now and it's had a lot of 'tweaking' done, but without any of the major work you'd need for a restoration (e.g. rechroming and decalling).

It comes with:

• Limited edition Brian Allen translite (no, I don't have the original FT translite - I sold it)
• Pin2DMD HD XL colour screen with lighted speaker panels
• Invisiglass
• Limited edition Monster Fish toy (apparently, this toy is somewhat collectible among true FT aficionados)
• Full LED lighting and Perfect Play silicone rubbers
• A roll of side art blades that I never stuck on because the cab needed doing
• Reproduction manual
• Apron cards and Col plastic protectors (in green)
• Lighted casting button
• Lightning flippers (it had normal flippers when I bought it) for that extra challenge

Somewhat controversially, it was sold to me without a topper, so I made my own from spare Williams parts - some, like the rubber fish, quite expensive/hard to obtain - using instructions from Pinside. The topper works perfectly, is fully LED'd and, unlike the original topper, has a proper fishing lure included, rather than just a picture of one. If you are a collector, all this will absolutely horrify you, but everyone else will enjoy having a new topper with EPIC FLAPPING FISH ACTION.

It's been shopped a few times, etc. as it was really disgusting and filthy when I first got it. It's less filthy now, but it's one of the first pins I ever worked on so it's not a perfect job.

It has been in a couple of SE & London league competitions, so there are people who've seen the machine in action, and - since Josh nearly kicked it out a conservatory window in frustration - I have made the tilt bob more forgiving.

On the downside, it is kinda grubby under the playfield. Also, about half the boards are Rottendog. I've had no problems with these boards, but they seem to have a bad rep in the community compared to Alltek - so, make of that what you will [shrug].

Anyway, there we are - Gone Fishing, leave a message... beep.

Absolutely loved my FT, my first ever pin back in 2012! GLWS

Would have been perfect for me as the better half has said (whilst at pinfest) that she would like a FT, and this fits the bill perfectly - however as i'm currently full steam ahead building the pinshed/Gin bar probably not the best time.
If whoever buys this wants to sell to me in 6-12 months then i'd be up for that

I’d be up for this in 6 months time as well

Good price! (as long as jazzy isn't a typo).
