** NOW SOLD **



GrizZ HQ is maxed to the tune of too many pins and with a new arrival it is with a heavy heart something has to go.

So its time for Fish Tales to move on . Always have so much fun with Fishy , an all time classic. and will prob regret selling this but hey ho can't keep em all , and despite my beautiful youthful appearance :rofl: I'm not getting any younger so have to keep shaking up the herd.

Fully working, plays 100% faultlessly. Smooth and fast. Playfield gorgeous, cab solid but typically faded evenly all round. If this had new decals it would be an absolute beauty.

PRICE £2500 There was some discussion on here recently and 2500 seemed a fair price for a decent FT. So that's what I'm asking. Welcome to come and check it out. Just on outskirts of Brighton so you can have a little paddle in the sea too. Happy to use Martin for pickup he has been here many many times. TBH though I would like this moved sooner than later so would rather not be waiting months for Martin if possible ......as sometimes can be the case.:rolleyes:


Main Playfield - GORGEOUS , barely any insert wear that you can see. Often the Fish decals are battered. I have owned several FT over the years and this is without a doubt the nicest playfield. Check out the inlane ball drop areas - no wear !

Boat playfield - minor wear to couple inserts. Seen much worse.

Plastics - All good. I will include a NEW boat plastic to replace damaged one currently on there.

Reel mech - new belt recently fitted so it doesn't miss a beat.

LEDS throughout playfield - fitted by previous owner.

Ramps - Great. One mounting point is cracked but hidden under screw/washer.

Cabinet - evenly faded. Solid good condition. Clean inside.

Head - a little wear/damage to sides. Been touched in with black at some point.

Topper - The all important topper and dome complete and all working.

Translite - great

Batteries removed off board.



Will include NEW boat plastic, NEW boat ramp decal that I never got round to fitting and repro manual.

Please NOTE - ColorDMD NOT included in sale. I will be swapping a good original style DMD back in.

Well that was quick - SOLD pending payment blah blah
The condition is great and the price was obviously right for someone.

I'm curious because mine is in almost the exact same condition - I actually thought it was mine when i saw the pictures, had to double take, however weird and impossible as that might seem.

Rumbled. I snuck into your house and took photos then photoshopped them into GrizZ Shack. :D
 
I love fishy - great game, with challenging shots that I struggle to master… great sound, billy the Bass keeping the neighbours awake, clever multiball sequence and a good laugh to play… what more do you need from pinball?

I think it’s a terrific value for money game.

(Ps - With a New decals it also looks fab)
 
Summer 2021 I sold this ….Thought this was longer ago as it looks a bargain now . Playfield was lovely.
I suspect with all the interest in FT currently I could ask 3500 now and not be shot down 😁
I prob could have kept it in hindsight as I haven’t bought any pinball machines since then …. my longest dry spell ever

I agree it does look a very good deal - it looked a really nice example too.
