2nd one up for sale. This is really reluctant and to be honest it’s probably going to to be a very very limited window of opportunity before I change my mind and decide to keep it. It took me 4 years to find a nice one and the only reason I’m even considering selling is that we’re looking to move house and I’d rather not have to cart half a tonne of pinball machines along with all the other mountains of crap we’ve accumulated. Martin is due here Friday morning. If you can BACS it by then it will be on the van. He is also due here either next week or the week after, but it’s highly likely it won’t be for sale by then.
Condition: really great. Original and incredibly well preserved. Believed to be original screen printed cabinet decals. I’m guessing this was imported from a Germany due to the triple coin slots. Brand new unmarked glass.

LED’d. Mirror polished lock bar and side rails. You would really struggle to find a better example. £5800. Small crack just appeared on the trunk so £5750.

Forgot to mention it’s also been converted to NVRAM. Remote battery box is still connected if for some mad reason you want to revert to batteries. Mirror blades fitted too. Some very minor scuffs on those.
 
Odd theme, cheesy artwork and call-outs . . . however there aren't many better games than TOM.

Loads of shots, great toy, levitation ball save and lots of ramps. It's a miracle they managed to fit it all into a standard size cab.

A great game. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
 
For me it’s probably THE most accessible and interesting pinball machine ever made. If it hasn’t gone within the week I’ll most likely keep it. This is exactly the sort of game that makes Xmas parties fun.
 
And I 41 would gladly look after if you need. You can inspect where she will be kept untill a better time than if not sold at your price. I love Tom like totan. All the best mate

Great example. If you do keep it - stick in a pin2dmd with the colourisation files. It is brilliant.....

ToM was my number one pinball for a long long time, think i have had about 10 of them over the years. Used to fit a vero board in them with a tiger saw mod.....

Good luck with the sale.
 
I swear every other for sales thread has 'don't really want to sell this and if it hasn't sold in 6 minutes I'll keep it'!

Ideally I’d like to get down to two machines max before we move house. I still have TSPP on the way. So TOM could stay. BSD is currently the only one I really really don’t want to sell...but those are easier to reaquire.

Call it peer pressure, being married, or one of those sensible talks the Mrs has had with you over a few drinks. She convinces you to sell the pins prior to house move - “you can always build your collection back up again”
You wake up in the morning and think - holy sh*t what did I sign up to?
Ergo - the advert 😂

To be fair my AFM and STTNG were unofficially for sale and I agreed a trade with someone which fell through for the most practical of reasons. If I'd have listed AFM I may have written something similar because it's not a game to move on lightly.

I spent hours on it yesterday and had a great time . . . in short I'm now thinking it's a keeper 😂

That's the trouble with these damn addictive machines, they are bloody good fun and even if you are selling one it's likely to be regrettable particularly if it's being done for space saving reasons.

I'm down to one out, one in . . . I'm quite sure that Rob is the most reluctant of sellers given his line-up.
 
Sako-TRG is bang on the money there! My TWD has been up for sale 3 or 4 times over the years before I’ve changed my mind again. No changing my mind on that one now. But it certainly happens.
