Hi all,

Some of you know I am new to this forum, and I only have the one machine. As I don't have the space or cash to have two pinball's I need to sell this PSTE in order to buy another (from this forum most likely!). PRICE: £1600

My machine is very reliable, I've owned it for 3 years and it has been serviced by an engineer each year, which I have invoiced and a list of work done (nothing major, a few bits changed here and there). The cab is in decent condition with little fade, but is far from perfect. All the lights, bumpers, opto's etc. work fine, and the back box and translight are in good condition.

You will notice there is rubber blocking off the right hand lane, which is there purely to make it easier for my kids, it can obviously be removed!

There is damage to the front, I assume from a padlock across the coin mech, and also there is a large scrape on the right hand side inner where the play field has rubbed when being lifted. Doesn't affect play, but worth pointing out (and you can see it in the pictures).

I am Surrey based, so you are more than welcome to come and play first, it's only ever been set to free play so no idea if the coin mechanism works or not. Bear in mind this is a "widebody" machine, so make sure you have the space!

I've seen one go on eBay recently for £1600 which looked in fairly similar condition to mine, although he had LED's which I am not a fan of for this game, I think the softer light of real bulbs is better, but that's personal taste! So seems right to try and sell mine for the same price....I am also very happy, and in a way would even prefer, to do a swap plus cash for something a bit more modern in the £2 - £2.2k mark.

ALL PICTURES HERE I am happy to take some more if you need me too, for example close up's of the playfield without the glass etc.

Might be worth posting a few pictures in the advert (I know there’s a link) also might be worth stating the price again, I had to look twice and at one point thought you were looking for above £2k? Where I think your looking for £1600?
Just my 2p worth?
Good luck with the sale

Thanks for the tip, I'll edit and add pics!
 
DONE! Good spot, Sir!
Cool, you have until Monday to post on ebay for that offer, in the meantime might sell to the community on here or facebook, that would be my preference (not that I've ever sold a pinball machine:tut:)

Yup, that's why I posted here and Facebook first, but with that offer it was worth sticking on eBay too, which it now is.
