Sold Jackbot & Others

[myPinballs]

So just when you think there are no more mid 90s williams operator finds, you stumble across some. Picked up yesterday. Ex operator game. Stored for years in the dry. Board set was perfect when i checked it out yesterday. Here's my description based on a setup and quick look over today

Nice playfield, looks like it had a very easy life, no wear or damage to the surface that i can see. Some broken plastics. Good dmd. Cabinet faded but solid. Needs a rerubber and clean. Under playfield side and inside of cab very clean. Visor works but could do with some adjustment. Boards set like new. A real nice cheap dmd project for someone perhaps.

Going to give it the once over and play a few games on it next. All faults and issues will be sorted before sale.

£1400 cash on collection, or use martin delivery services

Coming up shortly for sale are my restored fish tales playfield and either my doctor who or another operator find. And more parts clear outs. More details to follow later

Quick update on a few niggles solved. The game is being sold as is not restored, but i will be solving all mechanical and technical issues with it before the sale. That will just leave you with some simple shopping to do as and when.

- There was an issue with the ramp lifter. A bad operator repair with a 'school ruler' on one of the broken plastics was the cause interfering with the lift arm along with a perished rubber. Plastic was repaired as best as possible and cleaned minus the ruler! Would benefit from a new plastics here. New rubber fitted. ramp is now working.
- Pair of black flipper rubbers added

If the "another operator find" is a TAF can I have first dibs?

I reckon so. I wish I'd seen that add! Flog the pb and keep me a tz would have been sweet!!! Ah well

 

[David King]

No not on eBay. From this post. Bought this off Jim. It needed some TLC. Playfield is in great condition. Just gave the whole thing a strip down and clean then added new star posts, reds and blues, and new rubbers and post sleeves and then led's.
Not bad for the price I paid. No faults. All working as it should do.

No I meant where it was bought from before that

Fading on the TZ cab looks spot on to me. I wish I'd seen this, even so if it was these, work was done to get them working again but still, wish I'd seen it first !

Yeah I see now. Yeah 2K for both. That is the Jack bot. I am happy with what I paid. But would have been a better bargain with TZ. I didn't see that add on eBay. Clearly it didn't last long before it was bought.

Cheers.

Whats odd is the same listing was relisted for £5k, seller must have realised his snafu.

Looks like original listing of £2k was cancelled by seller and then re-listed later that day by same seller for £5k so think I agree with @Arv that seller realised his mistake or got inundated with offers so probably not as great a bargain as people are saying

 

[Arv]

No it was sold for £2k i had messaged the seller on the day.

 

[David King]

That looks really nice David.

Thanks.

Coming up nice. I hope you are enjoying it. Mega visor and casino run are 2 great modes

I imagine reposted at 5k to stop people hitting buy now so as to sell off eBay and save fees.
