Why? Because they go into lower basements and backrooms of old pubs and restaurants, they find things that others will never see....

My mate put me onto this after finding it in a pub in Edinburgh....

After a month of tracking down the owner, he agreed to sell it to us

Was going well until I put my foot in a pot of paint...

Carried it down 3 flights with a plastic bag over my paint covered boot

24 hrs later...

Moral of the story, if you bump into a refrigeration engineer buy him a pint ;-)

CP one of the few games on my want to own lone day list

How is the backglass?
 
Brilliant.

Always comes with a good story your pinball finding.

Have you got rid of the paint from your foot yet ?

Yep, worth sacrificing a pair of boots for... Backglass is bubbled but not cracked.

Had a transistor fault on the right flipper and a few niggly switches, lots of dirt.

I will get it as good looking as the safecracker I found back in 2008 :)

Good find and great work photographing it coming out to daylight.

That poor safecracker, who would do that to a pinball machine. :mad:
 
Great find and that Safecracker was an incredible score. I know some people don't like SC, but really want to have a go on one, seems pretty interesting

Not a good thing sending pins overseas.:mad: Less for us to enjoy.

You probally did get a good price but I am sure you would have got a like wise price selling to someone in the U.K.

Doubt it. It was listed on ebay.co.uk & didn't sell.



Tried & tested.

I loved it. Great features & when you put the coin in.. WOW.. It transformed the table!



..God it weighed a ton.

That looks like it just went over the top in the great war and lost.
