Well it looks like there has been a bit of damp in there, could be nice??
Yes and at £7.30 (the current bid) it’s a bargain.
Medusa is such a great game - on this one though the playfield has wear, backglass has lifting, apron rusty. Rusty ball too
Cab not faded though!
Anyone know the seller of the Apollo 13 on ebay is he on here think psl amusment Bournemouth, its a pin thats always escaped me that and Lost in Space i think are the 2 movie pins i have never owned!
He runs arcades south coast and isle of wight. definitely operator rather than enthusiast. bought spares and all manner of games from them over the years but no pins
On the medusa, what’s this ?
looks like shooter rod in wrong place or ????

What worries me is that there are zero pics of the circuit boards (if indeed there are any) i have messaged and asked the question but no reply Shooter position looks very odd as well?
It matches with the playfield, lower than usual in the cabinet, though. And there's artwork extending into the shallow upper recess, so I doubt it's an operator alteration. Maybe it's a factory error, or a cabinet diverted at the carpentry stage from a different, 'shallow' game.
Looks like Peter Hardman bought the £1750 Twister from Gumtree last week.
He’s now selling it for £3750!!!
I hope he’s at least changed the caps for the extra £2000 he’s added.
I’m assuming he bought the faulty £1450 X-Files too?

The Medusa has apparently been in storage in their garage for “30 years or so”.
He didn't exactly draw attention to the missing fan topper!
Sad news about a pinball museum in Banning, which had been struggling and now looks like it's closing and auctioning off its 1100+ pinball machines.

Not been to the place, but was on my list for a states visit. I think it's the biggest collection of pinballs in one place.

Maybe selling a machine with the title "Twister" has some strange significance?
Funnily enough (though i didn`t think it funny at the time) Peter Hardman offered me £3500 for my mint Black Knight SOR earlier this year ! Very generous or what .
I hope you were offering the awesome topper and "in the field" 24 Hour service guarantee as well.

Williams Millionaire Pinball Project Machine 1987 with Stencil Kit | eBay
1987 Williams Millionaire pinball machine. It has mostly been cleaned but there is still more to do on the playfield. I have pictures of the dissassembly if required.

Spotted this pic on a Facebook group. Apparently in a charity shop Maltby Rotherham.
DE £6500
Superpin £6500
Bally £4500
Might be of interest to some
A quick update...
A deal was done on these a couple of weeks ago and they were finally delivered today. I used to work in a Maltby Industrial Unit many years ago and my mother is still a 20 minute drive away so she was immediately dispatched to investigate whilst everyone else was wondering if they were in Newcastle. We found that the bally was not booting, the ST:TNG was continually firing balls (a common issue with this game), so only the DE was working properly. She left her number for them to contact her for when they had enough of them and needed them gone (expected as only one was correctly working). A few weeks later they got in touch and the rest is history...
Big thanks to @itsmecurrie for his assistance in locating them as there's a few charity shops in Maltby..!
Wasn't this started in the shop log below?
