Hello i am looking to change around a couple of my pinball machines to keep things interesting at my end. Much as i enjoy most games i have owned i like to move them on for something different at some point. I play most days so it`s kind of necessary ( for me at least) to do it this way to retain the enthusiasm.
I have absolutely no preference what leaves me, it all depends on who is interested and has something that is also of interest to me. I have been enjoying playing pinball for around 27/28 years now so there have been a huge amount of games i have been through namely all the classic 90`s Bally/Wms and most of the Sterns from 2000 to 2013. So please don`t feel offended if i am not interested in another RFM or No Good Gofers or Rollercoaster Tycoon etc. Loved playing them all but just hoping to find something new to me or something i haven`t played for ages.
I currently own 5 machines and i am open to trades up the way down the way or plain simple swap. All my machines play fantastically well and touch wood have no outstanding niggles/jobs needing doing.
2004 Stern Harley Davidson 3rd Edition chrome version with totally different cabinet playfield and translite artwork. Incredibly rare in the UK , in fact only 300 made worldwide. Chrome trim looks beautiful as does the entire machine.Mirrored sideblades. Amazingly detailed bikes and other playfield stuff. Puts some modern pinballs to shame in that respect. Shaker motor is so smooth on this one. Plays like new and looks like new. Not even a mark on the rear of the machine. Original manual.
1997 X-Files. Sega. One of my most favourite pinballs EVER. Love the theme the music and it is one hell of a challenge to get the better of it. This one plays superb and has newly fitted sideblades to which really suit the machine.
Only negatives is that the cabinet is not particularly brilliant but acceptable and there is playfield wear in front of the filing cabinet. Someone previous to me fitted mylar over it so at least it won`t get any worse. Original manual.
1991 Data Batman. Now this one has a cabinet and backbox that should not exist on a 31 year old machine. even the back hardly has a mark on it. Playfield has had a recent stripdown and rebuild. A few areas have wear but compared to most Batman machines this is a cut above. A major plus for me is I found it to be MUCH more fun than all the folk who rubbished it saying is is a one shot game. It is far from that. Original manual.
1996 Sega Goldeneye. Brilliant fun, brilliant theme. Amazing ramps. Satellite dish is SO good. One of the best ball saves ever. Playfield was stripped down and loads of work done about a year and a half back. Still looks great and plays great. No manual with this i`m afraid.
2018 Stern Guardians of the Galaxy. Beautiful looking cabinet, low plays ( around 600 odd) Sideblades and plastic protectors fitted .Sound upgrade so more good songs to listen to. Looks and plays superb. Original manual.
I only want to trade and not loan short term or sell so please only get in touch if you have something you are also willing to part company with.
Message me on the site or text/phone me on 07773 760555 . My email is fireinside@sky.com if you prefer.
Changing any potential machines can be done via Hadfields who have been brilliant to me over the years or Martin who is well known to most pinball folk. Of course collection in person and a halfway meet are other options depending on location and distance.

Thanks John.

, trades seem the order of the day but can be tough to thrash out.
12 rated and I was 9 at the time - me and a mate managed to get in though at thr cinema which use to be in Barking - loved it (think overall I prefer Batman Returns on repeat viewing though.
