Should that be "quality, workmanship and attitude"?
But then andy did import a picture of Sid Snot as his avatar.

If you set yourself up by describing something as 'truly stunning condition' then it has to be.
This isn't. No way is it a 3600 FS. At that money I'm not wanting to see ball trails, old nuts and screws etc. I want everything shining like a new pin.
And what the hell is going on here ...are those protector washers ? Why are they there ? Confused
Holy crap did you know I always just thought that's what he looked like?! Who is Sid Snot?? #aussiealert
I’m sure it was all done in the best possible taste, but you won’t get that either
Kenny Everett character, comedian and dj.
Sid Snot was one of the characters created by the late Kenny Everett. The one with attitude; others were French lothario Marcel Wave, punk Gizzard Puke, silent Maurice Mimer and last but not definitely not least the starlet Cupid Stunt.

As a kid in the early 80s ...Kenny Everett / Sid Snot was godlike. Much impersonated in playgrounds across the land
As with all these old acts ...you probably had to be there 
We did get stuff like The Young Ones, Red Dwarf, Faulty Towers... even the Dangerous Brothers were passed around on a well worn VHS from those in the know.
Unfortunately some stuff never quite made the jump!
It still surprises me sometimes when I'm at a 40th or whatever and a song will come one and literally everyone will start singing along... and it'll be the first time I've ever heard it. And i like music!!

Is the Spitting Image comedy spoof 'Chicken Song' in this category, along with its anti-apartheid B-side 'I've never met a nice South African'?
Apologies for diverting the thread off-topic, Sarge.

I can't even watch that because just seeing that character fills me with anger and hatred
He's obviously read that and changed it since.

Someone nearby PLEASE go and take a look at it!
AJJENSEN is the closest as far as I know.
.....although I have my suspicions there might be other folks within that radius claiming to be elsewhere.
Coincidentally AJ was looking for a Flintstones last month, got the impression he was looking for a cheap one to do up though, this one on ebay wouldn't be any good to him. He did buy a restored TAF from the same seller though, that must have cost a fortune!
I miss that guy. He had some great questions about whether a new replacement board would work as a replacement for a damaged one. That's the kind of question we should all be asking ourselves.
That Spectrum on ebay made 1,010 which surprised me. My guess would have been 700 to 800.
It is a relatively stripped out single ball title (made just after the 1981 Golden Era Ballys - Fathom, Centaur etc) but it still has speech.
I thought that the market for pre DMD games had been softening in the past 12 months. The haunted houses are not selling for example.
One swallow does not make a summer/ could be a scam .....

Anyone consider this one to be a scam?

Note to potential buyers, must swap out the special Whitechapel plug/socket arrangement
That's a Tobin from Hove write up.
In Whitechapel so must be a ‘rip’off

It's pointless giving our dearly departed professional restorer too much attention. One has to resign oneself to the fact that there are going to be more people like @biglouieuk who will in all innocence end up buying something from him over the odds and finding out that the word "restored" has a very wide interpretation.
Someone searching for deals-are-me pinball ebay will hopefully end up on here and find out the prior work of Andrew Backhouse aka AndyB53 (who can be reached at a.v.backhouse@btinternet.com), check out his posting history, and how he conducts himself, and be able to make their own informed purchasing decision.
If they happen to find this thread, and this post, by sheer chance then they'll be able to find out that he's been banned from here, and why.
