screwloose Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I got home with this about hour and a half ago. The guy purchased it about 16 years ago from a skate centre. 10 years ago a kicker stopped working and his wife made him put it out in the shed to make room for the new baby. There it sat unplayed, covered in dust til I came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwloose Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Playfield is very nice. I had to clean the dust off to see it. In fact the whole machine looks great under the dirt. Cant get the glass off the playfield just yet so these photos are with the glass on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwloose Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 I want it! Checked the batteries yet? any acid damage? that was one of the 1st things I checked. These boards dont have batteries on them or a place for them. I will check them out a bit more soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmworking247 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Nice score, that looks like a real diamond in the rough. PS: A skate centre? Whats that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcadus Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 PS: A skate centre? Whats that? That is, young whippersnapper, a place very similar to an ice skating rink but with roller skates (strap on "shoes" with four wheels"), died out around the late sixties. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwloose Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) That's gonna be so much fun to clean up. Nice pick up. yeh cant wait to "Attack the Shark" very soon I will put my "grey nurses" uniform on, take a "hammerhead" out of the toolbox, grab a "white pointer" screwdriver and I will "mako" a nice machine out of it! lol Seriously though it will probably put on the backburner for a few months. I came up to Brisbane yesterday & decided to call into Pinball Warehouse. Big mistake! I shouldn't go to places that have machines that I might want to buy because I ended up doing a deal on 1 with Ken (more about it later). It will be top of my priority list when I get it home.
