Aye I remember those days lad. I used to gerrup before I went to bed and then sweep t’ road
So how old is that catalogue? Seems to be about the prices on eBay about 15 years ago. Junkyard seems disproportionately expensive.
.. time machine needed
Yeah, you would need to take the head off, shark fin them, to get them through the door before bringing them back.
Hitch a time travelling trailer....
My First IJ was £1300.. and my DH was £500
Popeye - Due to customer reports this will not be sold
one word.......

There will be many a pin head sobbing himself to sleep tonight
And now the people who brought at those prices moan about the prices and also call others out for how much their selling their machines for 
1998 I think
It does say No Good Gofers is the current machine, that was made in 97.
I remember buying a DR Who in ‘99 for £500 amongst others and thought that was expensive!

Was this leaflet meant for the home market or trade prices for operators? Just wondered if the prices included VAT? (17.5% at the time).
My Dad was an operator I've got his order book now, he bought an STTNG from Phil in 2000 for £850 plus vat, I remember it seemed expensive at the time for a used pin, but he was very pleased as it was like new!

I miss the days of phoing an op and getting a Fish Tales for £150 from a storage garage.
Bought my TZ from pinball Heaven for 650.
Anyone remember the Powerball ad.. "sit down, it's not cheap"
Good times!
Good times!
If anybody still has their original £895 Adams Family knocking around please let me know, I'm dying to have one again and cant afford these LuDiCrOuS prices anymore 
To be fair though.
This was back in the days when you'd get your weekly wage in a brown envelope and a payslip. It was £6.48. Once you've paid the local gaffer rent and board, you'd blow the money taking the tram to the local picture house to meet that gal you were sweet on. Popcorn was 2 and 6 and if you were lucky you'd have enough left over for a bottle of pop and a packet of candy cigarettes.
But yeah. Nuts

Those were called 'fags' when I was growing up in Oz and had a red lit end and everything. When someone at fags hq realised it probably wasn't cool marketing candy homophobic cigarettes to kids they rebranded them as 'fads', removed the red lit end, and very quickly went out of business.
Priced where plus vat
in '98! Decimalisation was in 1971. I'd been working for 4 years in '98 and got my first house in Jan '98. I think you are 20-30 years out fella! And stop making me feel old....To be fair though.
