Yes, you did read that correctly.

I've been offered this machine for free. As I only work on EMs, it has little interest so I thought I'd offer it here, to help the owner dispose of it.
View attachment 247810He has supplied a couple of images as shown. I noticed that it has no flippers on it so it might be more a parts machine?

It's in Nottingham. If anyone is interested, please get in touch and I'll put you in touch with the owner.

And, if somebody here does end up with it, if they might want to give a donation to an animal sanctuary that I like to support, better still but it's not mandatory.

Thanks, Doug.

Thanks, Andy.

Another chap contacted me seconds after posting the ad so he will have first dibs. I've asked that he posts here as to if he's having it or not. But if he falls through, I'll let you know as you are second.

Best, Doug.

I've just been messaged by the vendor to say that a site member has been in touch and has arranged to pick it up tomorrow morning. If it falls through, I'll contact the other folk who expressed an interest.
Thanks for looking everyone👍

Doug.
 
Almost made a wanted post last night for a cheap Gottlieb of any description to add to the collection but I didn't 🤦‍♂️ praying this doesn't get parted out. I also have tonnes of Gottlieb mechs if the new owner needs anything
 
I have asked that the chap who is collecting it tomorrow, assuming he does go through with it, does post on here that he now is the new owner so everyone who was interested knows the score. 👍
 
It is doubtful 'next dibs' will happen. Who is going to travel to a free pinball and not take it? Looking at it - should be broken for spares.

I gave someone else on here a pinball that was beyond economical repair a couple of weeks ago. I can not see that getting repaired but I can see it help get other tables going - and maybe help other members on here long term.
 
Thank Crikey that some can see the sense in parting out dead machines

I don’t like it either, but if a dead machine can infuse life into say eight others it’s only the sensible of options

Ok back in my box 🔐

I think you're stuck in the past, a time where spares were hard to get hold of. Now you can get nearly everything you need to bring a game back to life. If anyone was parting out games now i'd be surprised. You can save everything now, if you want to!
 
When I was a lad we got up half hour before we went to bed and had coal for breakfast before doing 25 hrs down pit

You know your right 👍

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.
