After picking up GB and having an RFM on the way the misses isnt too happy and I can't keep them all so its time to get rid of a couple of pins to make space.

Fish tales in great condition. Dirty Harry next after I've fixed the 5v issue :/

I picked this up with a few niggles and in need of TLC.

I've tried to describe this best I can. Hopefully got everything in. Any questions just ask

The good
New rubbers
New comets throughout
New apron instructions
New cols plastic protectors in yellow
New cols coin door plaque
Playfield in good condition with minor wear over inserts
Playfield decals in good condition
Cab has been redecalled but has a few scuffs and wrinkles in places
All plastics in great condition only the back panel cracked at the top right I can see
Coin door is really nice condition
No credit dot or known faults, switch tests fine etc
Any burnt connectors have been replaced along with the headers.

The bad
The cpu was acid damaged but I've cleaned it up and replaced all affected parts inc fitting sockets for the chips. Also fitted a remote battery pack. My soldering isn't amazing but also isn't the worse.
The dmd has a few lines missing on instant start up but completely fine after that. Not sure if it's a ROM issue or DMD.
Legs in fair condition with a few marks. No twist or major damage
Fish topper has small crack rear left and around the base where it screws but can see any of it from the front
No tilt bob, mech is there
No playfield power switch inside the coin door
There used to be a sticker over the fish on the apron and whoever pulled it off pulled part of the fish off with it.
The theme tune sucks

I've ordered a flipper rebuild kit as one flipper keeps slipping and the clamps have cracks in.
A few leds on the fish inserts are white so Ive ordered the correct colour for them. (Not sure why the kit didn't come to colour match)
I've also got a couple tricky rubbers left to replace.
I'll have these bits done next week.

I've cleaned as I've gone round changing lamps and rubbers. It would benefit from a full strip and wax. I just don't have the time.

Martin is due here in the next couple of weeks.

£3,500 ono

Misleading advert!

The theme tune is ace! That should be in the good, not the bad!

HS/GC tune is even better though.
