LOTR4U Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Generally, No matter who you deal with, make sure you... 1. Ask many questions re condition/faults 2. If you can't inspect in person then request many hi res pics of playfield and cabinet decals. 3. No offence to anyone intended but rule of thumb --> Trust no one in the arcade/coin-op industry unless you know them personally. 4. Check pricing with many unbias others and see if you getting a good deal etc. 5. Check sellers reputation with different people. If you go by my above little rules you will have far less chance of being ripped of by anyone and could save you $$$ in costly repairs. Good luck with your search for a pinball.

Strangeways Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 where is the best pinball shop in victoria is seems that child amusements sound very professional thanks The "proof of the pudding" is the end product and importantly the after sales service. That strikes at least one off the list... Who has the "runs on the board", and has a good reputation ? There goes a few "fly by nighters"... Call into each of the shops, examine the games closely. See if they all work - ask to look under the playfield, look for items such as properly gapped EOS, flipper rebuild kits... small things such as all the globes and rubbers replaced... It's that extra 1% that can make the difference. I think you are off to a good start :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
