Okay - speak to Mark Squires.
Dr Pinball.
One of the nicest guys in this business.

He runs this place - if you go onto his facebook listing there is a customer of his selling some games on.
As Mark looks after them - they will be well looked after.

If it was local I'd have had a look at it, trouble is they are never on your doorstep 
I offered a grand for it, the last pin I got from eBay was a mess and needed some tlc. Without all pics and questions answered it needs to be cheap!

But that's a big gamble if I cant see it first
If you want a getaway Mark Squires has one he's selling for a friend. Not sure of his handle on here, some will know.

I have spoken with the guy that's done all the work on the machines but the chap that owns them is over 4 hours away from me
+1 for Mark Squires who is a top bloke. I think his account here is @Pinballsurgery but might be best to contact him via email or phone.
If you buy a machine from a reputable person around here it's safe to get it delivered without having seen it. Something off ebay... not so much!

gloucester to cambridge is a little over 2 hours, don't know where the machine actually are but if Mark Squires says its ok then I'll guarantee it'd be worth the visit. These are not the ones on ebay.
I’d say if Mark says it’s ok it doesn’t need a visit unless you are picking it up. (I think that’s what Sven was implying as well) Get used to driving if you want to get into this hobby. Ive driven from Belfast to limerick to lift a pin, I’ve also got a ferry across the Irish Sea (dearest span of water in Europe) then driven down to Kent to lift a pin and drive back...
edit.
And as pick says, would you know its good or bad in person any more than a photo?
buy of the forum and you won’t be far away from as described, loads on here will help you sort it out if it goes wrong also

We can only offer advice. It's up to you if you decide to take it.
