Giving me ideas now. Where could I put one.............

Had a slot machine many moons ago, took 2ps. The idea was it would make a good savole as well, but it didn't work out that way. Just kept taking the money out and putting it back in.  :)

;D ;D good move - may i recommend star trek, the  next generation original by williams i think about 1992 - an absolute classic, great to play.. i don't blame you for avoiding ebay, for this kind of thing it's an absolute no-no.

Any old machine will do.. looking for cheap and nasty... have a wide hallway.. currently has (small kids) bar football table in it and was gonna buy a kids electronic pinball machine ...but thought hey!  what about the real thing :)

[smiley=clown.gif] [smiley=clown.gif]Hi, one place you could start looking is a company called pinball heaven, they have been in business for a number of years & have always been reliable.  They sell second hand machines both to the trade & also to the public. All the machines I have seen from them were rebuilt to a very high standard but this is reflected in the cost (£1k+). If however you were to buy a machine that needed refurbishing they do have a spares department & you can buy almost anything for almost any type of pintable!
you can find them on www.pinballheaven.co.uk they also have links to other associated topics.
    Let me know how you get on & if I can help any further then I will. [smiley=clown.gif] [smiley=clown.gif]
