Possibly looking for a couple of reliable but inexpensive machines for show use, namely for NERG, and Daventry, not shy of a little bit of work to get them running 100%.
Cheers.

...and every time they get moved they end up getting a little scuff or mark on them. Which I can totally understand machines are a lot of money these days and most people don't want the hassle of moving there pride and joy with the chance of anything happening to it.
Added to which it's shows that get people into it, which can result in higher sale prices for existing owners etc.Nice to see people are still wanting to support the shows by taking along machines.
Without people like Carl we would not have shows for the pinball community to enjoy.
There is less and less support with people bringing machines to shows these days which means no support = no shows. I can understand that machines are hard to come by these days and are a lot more expensive than what they used to be, most people have there pride and joys in there collection and don't want to take them to show for other people to play because they don't want sticky fingers on there machines and every time they get moved they end up getting a little scuff or mark on them. Which I can totally understand machines are a lot of money these days and most people don't want the hassle of moving there pride and joy with the chance of anything happening to it.
But don't forget without people bringing there machines to shows for people to play we will soon have no shows for people to attend. Big thanks to those who do bring there games to the shows and great to see that like in this post there are still people wanting to carry on supporting the shows of the future.

Looking forward to supporting the Scottish show again this year and as always the warm hospitality we always receive from the Scottish Pinball guys and girls.Looking forward to seeing you and the other guys (NLP and Carl) on Friday Daz.
Your help is greatly appreciated and still needed, both your technical support and pin donations.
I've been asked for pictures of the manual, and had people asking for money off the whole machine because one of the pages had a crease in it, WTF! Why do you need a photograph of the back of the back box when buying a machine?
As you say, there will inevitably be the odd little scratch or scrape.
