The good - renting a van to go pickup a Tales of Arabian Nights finally.
The crap - getting up at 5am to go get it.
The good - getting a rental van upgrade.
The crap - realising this was dangerous as I'm pretty excitable with space and available machines.
The good - Picked up the machine in fab condition. Met a nice guy selling it.
The even better - Deciding to buy a very nice Guns & Roses he was moving too.
The crap - A 2 minute job of taking money out of my own bank, who i've banked with for 25+years and in v.good standing, credit references and all that took 30mins - for some reason.
The even crapper - getting back to the van to find I'd got a parking ticket for £60
The good - getting the van back to home after a 500mile trip in time and new tables released to mingle with mine.
The crap - seeing a SS which had been delivered by Home Leisure, who said it was in excellent shape, would have new glass as standard and be cleaned etc, have a sheet of glass like it had been skated on (both sides) and internals like it had been caked with mud.
The good - considering sending it straight back, getting a refund and never dealing with a company who plainly lie.
The even better - seeing all the machines unpacked and looking forward to popping CDMD's and Pinsounds and nice speakers in them.
The cats tits - securing a WH20 as well! Finding out my MMR colour chip is coming tomorrow.

Oh and a nice glass or two of wine too.
 
Decent Scared Stiff games are available for below £3k

If you paid Home Leisure much more than this, try to get a refund. Your credit card company / Paypal might help if you have trouble with HL and you paid this way
 
Yes banks don't like you taking money out.
 
Thats pretty poor form from HLD, especially at their prices. We had a league meet at their showroom last season ( very grateful for that ) but the machines were really no better than any other machines we come into contact with regulary, just almost double the price.

And they credit themselves for somebody elses work. No excuses for moving on a machine that's tatty then.

Pictures would be great :)
 
Sounds like trip to Glasgow was very fruitful:)

Looks that way, looking at list of games.

Curious though as saw the TOTAN for sale, but it looks like it has T Molding on it?? Do people add it to B/W games? How is it put on as presume it is a reversible mod?
