Traded Pirates of the Caribbean

[andy]

Well I've enjoyed playing my POTC but I've decided it isn't a keeper, so I'm putting it up for trade.

It's pretty nice, everything works (including all the dots on the DMD) and although it would benefit from a full strip down clean its not at all bad as I hope the pics show - more are available if required.

I'd prefer to trade against something on my signature wanted list (especially a TAF.... ) but I'd consider anything really so please PM me with what you've got!

Cheers,
Andy

List of titles you fancy would be good

 

[JLT]

I'm betting "Most Wanted - Addams, Atlantis, BMX, Eight Ball Deluxe, Embryon, Fireball 2, Jurassic Park, The Getaway, any early '80's Williams"

Yep.....and anything else considered too!

Even dr who?

Gilligan's Island? may be tempted to part with it

Even dr who?

I had a Dr Who years ago, I'd be interested in one if it was in decent condition.

Gilligan's Island? may be tempted to part with it

I used to have a Gilligans too, not sure why it's so disliked as a game...though I have to say I don't really want another one!

Let me take some pictures and I'll give you a description.

Oh well that was an interesting exercise. I have listed all the problems with my Dr who and i think it is fair to say that it isn't in a 'decent' condition.

Anyway i said i was going to give you a description so here it is:
- seriously faded cabinet (all sides)
- broken slingshots (both sides)
- playfield in general ok but some wear at time expander (see photos)
- had battery leakage and hence battery holder replaced with loose one (see photo)
- 1 fault on start up associated with one of the targets on the time expander
- DMD ok
- flippers strong
- could do with some serious cleaning
- no topper (never fitted with one i think)
So not quite pristine condition to say the least. It is funny how you get used to things after a while. I have owned it for the past 10 years and i have never really looked at the cabinet closely but it is more yellow than the original orange. It is the first pinball machine i ever bought (i have only bought 4 in total so i am no expert). It came from eBay.
I think it was used commercially at some point. It still had the coin mechanism fitted.
So there we go.
Don't worry. I won't be upset if you politely decline. But at least it forced me to face reality.

No deal done with the Dr Who, so the POTC is still available!
