Refurbished Fish Tales - Brand new fitted playfields / ColourDMD

Unfortunately the house move is taking another victim, but it will be worth it in the end (my wife’s words, not mine). I didn’t think I would ever let this go, but of course things change. I bought this from Scott Rundle back in 2023 and he did most of the work. I have added the ColourDMD and Comet LEDs throughout. It has had light use at best.

Good Points:
- Brand New fitted Micro playfields (no pooling, chipping or sunken inserts). It is lovely and smooth. New oak rails too.
- Redecalled Cabinet
- ColourDMD (LCD)
- Comet LEDs
- Titian rubbers
- Flyland licensed side blades
- Redecalled Cabinet
- New legs
- Leg protectors and new leg hinges
- New Star posts
- Gun metal fishing rod handle
- New plastics where needed (including the last NOS fishing rod plastic on the left side)
- Completely rebuilt flippers, including coils
- New shooter coil
- Fully working, no credit dot
- Blue powder coated rails and lockdown bar
- Rocket CPU board, so no batteries or 5v reset issues.
- Thousands spent on this

Included:
- Manual (when I can find it, my wife has packed it, but it is included, but it might be a couple of months time!)
- Full coil replacement set (for those coils not already replaced)

Negatives (see pictures)
- Some marks on the rails by the hinges
- A bit of powdercoat chipped by the lockdown bar
- No coin box
- Slight wrinkle on the front of the decal, above a bolt.

As always, viewing is advised and encouraged. Sold as seen, but videos of it working provided if you cannot view.

Martin or Matt Vince welcome or collect yourself.

£4,900

As for trades. I really cannot, BUT….If someone has a nice NASCAR (not Grand Prix), then let’s talk!

Thanks!

Thank everyone, she is a beauty and I honestly love the game. It’s the only one I remember playing as a kid in the arcades.

I know it’s strong money for a Fish Tales and it was what I paid, minus the ColourDMD. But with new fitted playfields and a redecalled cabinet, I believe the value is there.

I forgot the picture of the coils.

Any questions, let me know.

Aye was thinking the same with mine also albeit without the new playfield, two cracking looking fish tales up for sale at the same time doesn't happen often as they seem to be a keeper for alot of folk.
