Dislocated the AC bone and calcification of the muscle to boot.
Too many restorations and lifting.
I'm sorry
Ah, different injury - I broke the 'greater tuberosity' (the fat top bit) of my humerus in several places. The shoulder's now frozen.Apologies for the OT.
Dang. Sorry to hear that . Those wide bodies are heavier than a neutron star . I always prayed for my back when setting one up
My own fault. The guy selling had a small 'French door' and being a wide body it was getting caught on the frame.Dang. Sorry to hear that . Those wide bodies are heavier than a neutron star . I always prayed for my back when setting one up
It had a deep step down and he suddenly dropped it towards me so I took the full weight (backbox end) at elevation. I took the weight as I didn't want to damage the house and my whole right arm spasmed.
What I didn't know at that point is that I had torn my muscles and popped my AC bone out of alignment.
It's a lot better now but Saturday had to be the most pain I've ever exhibited in my life.
I've had eye surgery, my jaw dislocated and muscle cut open and it was nothing compared to this.
Next time I just let it hit the house
nasty, hope the pin was worth it ?
It needs work as the Judge Dredd drop targets are snapped and it appears to have multiple switch failures. It'll have to stay switched off while I rebuild my motor function in my arm.

Mate i feel for you. Never trust someone else that's carrying something. The other year i had a log burner dropped on my big toe and i was wearing Onitsuka Tiger trainers (so i might as well of been bare footed) needless to say a few choice words were said and my toe broken.My own fault. The guy selling had a small 'French door' and being a wide body it was getting caught on the frame.

Under the tap and taped to the other toe, jobs a good 'un
Well you are awesome at refurbs so hopefully you'll get yourself fixed up as well as your pins!
Fixing my arm motor seems harder than a bit of soldering but will tryWell you are awesome at refurbs so hopefully you'll get yourself fixed up as well as your pins!
.Remember when you did your arm in and it just healed overnight without a fuss?

Wow, they were minty.. wonder who restored those. Chris ?
My son and I restored them. Majestic Pinball
My son and I restored both, we have been restoring machines for some time.

Unless I've been newly adopted I'm not sure why I'm tagged in this as have nothing to do with these 2 machines but they are both phenomenal and I can also vouch for Johns excellent cabinet/woodworking skills

I've always fancied one of these... But not for that price!
He should be selling it on here. Sought after pin that!
That’s Harry Bolt . He always starts at top dollar . I doubt he will sell on here anymore as there always seems to be a ‘drama’ with his sales
You're best looking in Europe then. A nice one, 'refurbished' and available in UK is a rarity indeed as most owners never sell on. Bear in mind he could ship it over to the US and get a lot more than his BIN price.I've always fancied one of these... But not for that price!

I believe he will take offers as whenever anyone posts links to his sales on forums mocking the silly High prices he usually retorts saying that its listed at a high price to open a conversation for offers away from eBay and its fees.

I get my full name eh, honouredThat’s Harry Bolt . He always starts at top dollar . I doubt he will sell on here anymore as there always seems to be a ‘drama’ with his sales
drama with my sales? news to me!It’s funny I’ve had what, like over 25 sales since I last posted on here with no drama, so seems like I don’t post FS on here due to OTHER people’s drama tbh
Anyway the other comments are correct i start high and then accept a lower offer as I try not to loose too much £.
As I always try to have them serviced and referbed so it leaves in a state I’d want to receive them in.
For example I restored my 1972 Chicago Coin Coney Island recently, and sold last week to a very happy buyer. Even had a sale TODAY!
Anyway, Cheers!
