Sold Gottlieb Aquarius £150

[Paul_S]

Hi All,

My wife enforces a one out / one in policy on my games room so ahead of the Daventry meet (Buying opportunity) this summer I am looking to sell a machine.

I am asking £150 for my Gottlieb Aquarius EM from 1970. I bought it last year for £360, which was obviously too much but it was only a mile away so free to collect! One in better condition just sold on Ebay for £255 ( Link )

Mine is one for those who fancy a challenge as it has problems...

• No chime box
• Playfield lights don't work
• Major wear to the playfield
• 44 years old and cabinet looks it
• Left flipper drops and needs resetting regularly

On the plus side it is playable and decent fun. I have a schematic to include also.

Few pics below, ask any Q's or pic requests and I will respond asap. (Wife and other games pictured are not included!)

Mate,
Consider it sold. I will PM you with my tel. no to arrange collection, Nick.

Mate,
If you aren't too far from me, consider it sold. I'm in the Birmingham area, where are you?

Hiya, about an hour from you. I'm in Northampton near junction 15 of the M1.

 

[nick-the-greek]

OK mate. I've started a conversation as I couldn't see any way to PM you.

 

[Paul_S]

All yours!

Thanks now I've got age of Aquarius stuck in my head

As you mentioned hair, and just for you. Not the Fifth Dimension, unfortunately.

It's pretty cool. But my collection is officially full 10 machines ago!

I hope this isn't a quick flip...

Glad to say it isn't!

If anything mine was in better condition than that one, also mine was in a different cabinet (Not that I knew this until the buyer pointed it out).

Can't believe anyone would list one for £800

Looks a lot different to the one sold but could have had a coat of white paint and a wipe with an oily rag!

Some people have dollar signs for eyeballs

I will reserve the right to reply on this one.

 

[nick-the-greek]

I don't do oily rag clean ups, and if I do paint a game, it's to factory original.

That looks 10 times better than the one on ebay at the moment
