Looks like it works, that's a startIt’s all arranged, too rough today with flu (had a test). About time after all the years of trying on eBay to get a bargain.
Who knows what it’s like underneath though

Oh dear, I've only been into it since April this year - looks like I'm in for a long wait!!
Think it was on about a minute or two, total luck that I looked. Hopefully it won’t be too bad but I will find out in the morning.
Congrats, great to see one of the Pinball Info family picking up a bargain.

Result ! Just once in a while the pinball stars align
reminded me of my infamous £200 eBay Whitewater - I couldn’t hit the keys fast enough
Listed as dead. Quick tweak of a connector fixed it ! This was back in 2010 though when a wh20 could be had for £650 .....so you possibly have even better a deal with a sttng in today’s mad mad pinball market. Not come close to an eBay BIN like that again. Did score a cheap Demo man from gumtree for 400 which involved going to get it immediately as the seller batted away other interested parties !
Thanks guys, just got back from Uckfield 270 miles away
Was in a shop and was left there, we realised why Someone had built a wall and doorway that enclosed the machine in a cubby type storage area and the doorway wasn’t wide enough We took the wall down and moved the door frame over and the machine came out then I left them to put it all back
Still in the van, all boards are there. It powers up and puts a ball in the shooter lane then ’resets’ he said, I never plugged it in.
Cab and playfield looks ok, some corrosion on playfield metalwork. Hopefully not really bad under the playfield, not looked yet as I need to drill the lock out of the weirdly adapted coin door. So far it’s all there.
The shop was a Star Wars and other Collectables type shop and just left there.
I was given what I thought was the weird house name ‘soleman’

They said they wanted to change it there anyway thank god. Really nice son and father, father had a shop opposite who sold me the machine and they knew what they could go for and he was very happy with the price even though he had higher offers after it sold.
I did ask him if he could send me the names
So back in reality what I often see a Star Trek The Next Generation Advertised for...
