Sammo248 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hi guys I had Rod from Pinball People fix my machine today. I cannot give him enough praise. He fixed my problem and was happy to share his knowledge with me. I would highly recommended him if you have any pinball issues. He told me before he came to my house the issues that it may be with my machine with prices of parts, labour etc. I have had guys on the past say "it is impossible to know possible issues over the phone" which is very annoying. Feels good to know that if i have any further issues i can call Pinball People. Very happy customer.

Railways Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Good work sammo. You can't go wrong with Rod. He's a nice bloke to deal with and quite often goes above and beyond whats expected of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocyen Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 At last. The saga ends. So, was it the transformer after all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammo248 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 At last. The saga ends. So, was it the transformer after all? There was a problem with the connection between the power supply and the main board. It was going on and off very quickly but there was still voltage. Hope this makes sense :) Sent from my X9009 using Aussie Arcade mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo248 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 I will not be selling this machine but what is it worth? Sent from my X9009 using Aussie Arcade mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotty Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 $4500, is it for sale now? On a more serious note maybe upto $1500 pending on condition some may say that's too low, Gottliebs generally require additional money spent on them to make them more reliable eg Pascal CPU and then the price can fetch more.The fact that there's less repair resources for these games make them less desirable so until you decide to sell only then will you get an idea of it's real worth.

Sammo248 Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Stupid question i myself think that replacing game boards and power supplys with the new technology ones brings the price down. Is this true. I feel that more original the better Sent from my X9009 using Aussie Arcade mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
