Quit a complex machine the RFM is for the time and still is to this day. Does anyone know what it retailed for ?

RFM cost when new

I was a bit tipsy at the preview to think about the price. I do remember that Larry de Mar spent most of the time buried in the back of it. I believe it was £500 on top of the normal Williams retail so £500 more than CC . I remember the queues to play it whilst the line of South Parks stood empty but we know who "won" in the end. Phil should know the £ number

MM's RRP was/is £7,497! It must be so, Home Leisure Direct would never lie about such things, see: https://www.homeleisuredirect.com/pinball-machines/vintage-pinball-machines/
They are very welcome to buy my AFM for the 'discounted' price of nearly NINE GRAND!
And they've undercut @philpalmer on GOT by £1. The cheek. I'd happily pay that extra quid to get some decent support.
Surprisingly enough, the ebd is still for sale at Home Leisure Direct. Despite the generous discount from £5k to just £4k

This remains the best line I have ever seen in a pinball for sale advert .....
"The cabinet retains its original charm with the stencilled design still intact, but it does bear the odd scratch. Its not sufficiently bad to warrant a re-paint, but if you would want it to look like new again stencils can be bought from Twisted Pins in the States: https://www.twistedpins.com/products/stencil_kits/?ProductID=50 "

In times of austerity they're doing their bit to help both the consumer AND the jobs market:

since i offered a 2 year warranty, they tried to match it... until you read their T&C... like its invalid if you MOVE the pinball from its installed location!

soo much hate here lol. Calm down.
I'm not condoning HLD at all but MokeyBoyPaul why is undercutting a competitor cheeky? it happens daily everywhere.
Saying that, has anyone actually used Twisted pins from the states? Thinking of giving them a go on my pin.
