I've left my wife and moved into an upstairs one-bed flat and have nowhere to put my beloved Revenge from Mars pinball machine so am reluctantly having to sell it. I left 18 months ago and it's suffered in my absence and will need a service - or at least the Start button to work and a new flipper button on the left hand side. But it is in decent nick and played really well when I was last using it regularly up until early last year. I'm looking for £2k ideally but will consider reasonable offers. It will need collecting from the Bridgnorth area in south Shropshire. I only have limited pictures which are included and a video of the boot-up routine.

I would take more pictures and a make a point of highlighting the rust on the metalwork.

A shot of under the playfield and with the glass off would also help. Price seems fair but looks like it needs some TLC.

Looks more like a hole to me, especially when you watch the video with the movement. With the white around the top being the clearcoat/artwork, has someone fitted a post in the past and gotten confused about where to place it?

It certainly has a few rusted over bolts on the front, I would be wanting to see under the playfield before parting with any money, also be aware the seller is a newly registered user on the site so may not be massively familiar with things around there.
 
According to the site he has not logged in since posting the listing.
Perhaps he has a life to lead.
I am about an hour away from him - and he has put on about collecting.
Doesn't sound like a scam to me.
He probably has a few DMs already. But the cabinet rust etc can be sorted but not a screw hole.
It is a players condition game, something I would not pay £2K for it but I do not think he is that far off in 2024 prices.
As he said he is willing to negotiate then if you are interested - perhaps I would send him a phone number and actually talk to him. A lot of folks prefer a chat.

Id be in at £1750 as I love this game, but that hole puts me off sadly :(

Appreciate the reply. Just thought it was odd, that you want to offload a machine, but the seller does not respond to asks and offers. I totally get the sellers situation, which is not nice obviously.
