Hi guys

Stupidly maxed out as always so need to thin the herd :(...first up ...Fish Tales

All working, no errors, plays lovely - fast and smooth. Was at the Slam in April - played faultlessly all weekend. Solid players example with a tatty backbox.

Has cool Monster Fish mod/figure + lighting added :cool:

Playfield - pretty clean and not too bad overall. The 'Fish' and 'Tale Told' decals are not too bad on this one - these are the ones that usually show wear. See pics. Had a new 'Boat Ramp' decal fitted a while ago. New 'Reel' belt fitted not long before Slam. The 'Boat' mini playfield showing some planking and insert wear. Original 'Lightning' flippers with Superbands fitted.

Plastics/ramps - chipped inlane plastic, damage to boat ramp mounting but no biggie.

DMD - perfect. No missing lines/dots.

Cab - faded at front, bit of damage at bottom, sides show some fading but still got colour. Bit dusty inside.

Backbox - worst bit - looks fine from front but sides tatty. Rear panel has at some point in its life got water damaged so is swollen/tatty. HOWEVER ...I do have another better Fish Tales backbox which you can have. So if you want ,you can swap over all the boards/hardware. Nice little Saturday afternoon job :D I intended to do this at some point but just never got round to it.

Topper - looks fine from front, some usual damage/cracks to mounting points on 'dome'

Legs - do the job

I need this gone asap so priced to move , weekend special ! :D - £925 firm.

Located just outside Brighton. Am around all day tomorrow ...come and get it :D - or other times by arrangement this week. PM me.

Nice price ! Would like it but need to move on another machine first :(
 
Looks like my old 60 in 1 cab in the background, didn't know it had moved further along the south coast :)
 
Bargain indeed. FishTales is stone cold fun. Love it. Which is why I've got another one on the way :D
 
Fish Tales was my first game back in the summer of 2009. It is a great "starter table" AND a brilliant game to have in a larger collection.

If I didn't have another one coming my way in a few weeks time, I would have been after this well priced machine myself. :)

God I hate the term 'starter table'. Fish tales is great fun and would be great in any collection, even if that collection was one table!

I hate the term 'table'. They are pinball machines, not tables. :p
 
Hi Grizz, I am of the 'if you don't ask you don't get' school of thought, with that in mind I would like to offer £850 paid by BACS today for this, thanks

Andy
 
No worries Grizz, give me a shout if the sale doesn't happen please, Thanks

FT has left the building Andy. Thanks @abaxas for your concern over my selling technique but both I and buyer were very happy, no need to waste time and energy playing the 'negotiating' game , price was right for us both. Price em right and its more time for beer and playing pinball :clap: If you need any tips when *you* are selling games, let me know yeah ;)
 
The forum delivers again. And I really don't know why you'd haggle over such a low price to begin with. BARGAIN
