Picked up in px. In the back of my van currently. Travelling to Bristol and then back to Preston on Sunday so could drop off along m5/m6 etc

Sold as is. Working but needs a service. Was sold and refurbished 20 years ago by me!

Phil, my shadow is another that you refurbished 20 years ago and it never misses a beat. I bought it in 2009 from somebody else and nothing has ever gone wrong with it. I have only replaced a few broken rubbers and plastics. It shows the quality job you do on refurbs, even back then. And it's in lovely cosmetic conditon too. It looks like the buyer of this one is getting something similar.
 
Yes, I know Phil refurbished loads of these and always promoted them as one of the best value machines for those that couldn't afford Addams/Twilight etc. Its a fabulous game.
 
I have another Shadow that was refurbed by PH back around 06, likewise its been solid and reliable for me, even came with a free nut wrench, maybe it got left in there by Phil? 😁
 
For a film that tanked at the box office there seem to be a lot of the pins in circulation.
 
I bought a shadow from a bloke that lived about a mile from my house. Couldn't believe my luck! I did a deal with him to restore my WMS IJ if I did him a good deal on my WH2O too. Those were the days!

I think the story behind it was they designed the game before seeing the film, when they got to see they tried to pull out but it was too late

The machine recently made me watch the film again, god the film is even worse than I remember. Interesting though when you see the film how integrated the them actually was.

One of the games where theme didn't mean anything as it was still great

Might have helped the film totally flopped so I doubt many people actually saw it

It was a big budget . Plenty of options for toys. Even the invisible man would have been perfect for a magnet shot

It was too late, Williams had gone bust by the time it came out in 2003. Also that film had so many well known production problems even the stars and makers knew it was a 💩 . Put it this way so bad and the director was so incompetent that Sean Connery retired permanently
 
I bought my shadow from some young guy living in a tenement flat in Glasgow. He wasnt the original purchaser from pinball heaven so i was at least the 3rd after Phil refurbished it. It was on the second floor and there was no lift. Fortunately he had 2 flatmates and the stairwell was reasonably wide so the 4 of us just carried it down the 2 floors. Scary the stuff you did that you wouldn't do now.

It looks like we trashed Phil's sale thread but it's now pending so I suppose that doesn't matter and plenty of bumps if not :)

So I was just out in my local shop and found a bottle of Kingpin wine marked up with a "local price".

Coincidentally I live in a village about 10 miles away from Alston, the town on which Royston Vasey was loosely based.

Should I be worried?
