No turns out we weren’t locked in at all the main door was unlocked the whole time! All that staring at walls and ceilings and going “er…now what” for nothing!

The legs look nice in the photos? Not so in real life?
Is this when all Midlanders need to say it wasn't me lol
I still haven't got a clue who it is?
Was it listed on here or on Facebook?

Think you're probably best off just telling us who it is rather than have a witch hunt and loads of false accusations.

Agreed really if this hasn’t been resolved between buyer and seller then name them
Seller should come on here an explain himself before the pitchforks come out....
Glad I am not selling popcorn, on this forum I would go broke

My wife was like "You paid money for this?"Man, they are shocking!! Barn find legs! I wouldn't be allowed to bring them in the house!
Don’t understand why anyone would say pin is fully restored then add those legs.
Just doesn’t make any sense.
Is the pin ok other than the legs?
Says fully restored which is pretty good for 2k - can see why you wanted it….
Shame

Has the seller not sorted with you rob?

I didn't buy it from that seller, so the description there isn't really anything to go on. I was told it was in good condition by the person who bought it off that seller. Alarm bells did start ringing when Martin was referring to it as a restoration project on the phone.

There's nothing that can be done at this stage. I've ordered a set of legs from the Netherlands and will just have to put some time and money into it. Lesson learned. Fingers burnt.

Unfurnished rather than refurbished - that's a new one.
Shame you didn’t see the one that was for sale near me, looked really nice and would have gone and looked for you and then carried on and delivered it
Well, those are definitely not the right legs, are they from an EM?!
I know the definition of 'good condition' is subjective but I'm struggling to see how anybody could describe them as such, I guess the main thing is have the loose pool balls caused any major damage?
Seems like a refund for the cost of new legs, levellers and bolts from the seller would go a long way to resolving this, assuming the rest of the game is ok.

I haven't actually been able to play it yet as the ball just plops into the lane and the plunger can't reach it as the game is so flat lol
Rest of the machine appears salvageable but it's certainly never been restored. All the playfield decals are faded to ****, same with the translite. Looks like it been out in the Nevada dessert.

Yes it looked nice that one. Bad timing! They're like buses, you wait and wait and then 3 come along at once.Shame you didn’t see the one that was for sale near me, looked really nice and would have gone and looked for you and then carried on and delivered it
Is this the same machine you had seen earlier in the year on Facebook ?

Someone else did you the favour and bought it, and you had shown interest if they ever decided to sell it ?

It’s a company from Glasgow that’s won it, I’ve sent my mobile number over, they have 12k feedback so should be right hopefully Good result for you 😃 I had had a few light ales when I posted , so just to be clear I wasn’t laughing at your listing - just very surprised at the finish price.

Agree if you ain’t naming the person then close it down … he should be named as a matter of buyer beware in the future for everyone else but that’s rob decision
