I’ve updated the description as I’ve added a few new bits, up for sale is my FT, it’s playing beautifully, no faults, it wouldn’t take much at all to completely shop this game, I’m open to swaps obviously WITH CASH your way for TSPP, GB pro or Metallica.

Can strap on pallet and send to the UK, estimated cost: £100

The good bits:
Everything working
Original cabinet artwork (best I’ve seen)
Original topper (new decal)
Original plastics, except boat ramp top(not sure if original, imported from USA)
Original ramp, no cracks.
Original lightning flipper bats in perfect condition.
Playfield in very good condition except some very light chips in the usual spot around the treasure chest insert
Shooter lane very clean, some clear coat and it would look like new
Pin2dmd colour display only a few months old
Warm white LEDs in the GI and backbox
Pop bumpers rebuilt with new metal rings
New spring in drop target for casters club
All star posts replaced
All metalwork polished
Playfield cleaned and polished
All rubber replaced
Cliffy post sleeves
New boat ramp decal
New plastic trim where playfield glass meets backbox
New coin door carriage bolts
New reel rubber
New balls
New leg levellers


Bad bits:
Boat has some very mild planking, and there is 2 insert decals missing, again this in not on the main playfield and is barely visible, see pics, it’s just on the boat itself, the insert decals are available and the boat is otherwise in very good condition, a lot better than most I’ve seen and it’s not an area you’d notice anyway.
There is some chips to the bottom of the front artwork as can be seen in photos.
The caster is resprayed as the original coating wasn’t recoverable
Rails have slight dent where backbox was stored too tight against body
There is a 1” mark on the backglass where the glass broke, it’s currently replaced with Perspex which if I’m honest looks much better than it did when glass.
Legs need a sand and polish
Head brackets need a sand and paint
Ramp metal flap is wearing very thin but still functions normally.

I’ve done a few bits to this over Christmas
Fitted a new reel pulley and rubber as it was occasionally was acting up.
I also recapped the sound board
I’m really interested, is this still available please?

I think so too, but last time I spoke to him, shipping from Ireland was now an issue.

Bought my LW3 from him, so buy with confidence!
 
Yes, I still have it, I was having trouble getting a quote even to ship it to the UK from Ireland, transland wouldn’t even quote me last time I checked, so I thought I’d hang onto it a while until things settled down.
If you’re interested I can give you my postcode and you can see if you can arrange anything.
