Oh yeah there's alternatives. I have one game where I've used part of an old wire coat hanger. The issue with any old bar is you'll need to cut a slot for the E clip to go on each end so it doesn't slide out.

Wish it had been bid up to £1000 when i put it on eBay . It only went to just over £700 ish . Still at least i didn`t lose out of it. Looks much the same as when i sold it.

If you play the video link there doesn’t appear to be any sound coming from the speakers, just mechanical noises.

It's probably got those bars in the drop mechs that stop the drops going too high, often missing on drop mechs I end up with.

The bar also provides a base for the target springs. One alternative is the method Stern used; a screw threaded through the plate at each end, securing a length of brass tubing. These tubes were also handy for releasing circuit boards from their plastic stand-offs.
 
There's a nice Doctor Who on the UK Pinball Group on Facebook.

"Fully restored beautiful doctor who. Upgraded display and sound, all led, all metal powder coated blue faultless playfield any inspection welcome £3200"

I have no idea what one of these is actually worth but the asking price seemed reasonable to me.

Looks and seems about right but there is an extra cliffy fitted hiding all the normal playfield damaged in front on the expander !’ I do like the translight though !

Yep much the same then and the display had issues too . Was all mentioned on my ebay advert, probably why it only reached just over £700.

I've sold a couple of items on eBay since the 'no fees' changes. The first went straight into my bank account, the second went into my eBay balance. It was a couple of clicks to withdraw it so no big deal.

Could be handy to keep as a piggy bank, although of course you won't be gaining any interest on it.

Wouldn’t recommend the latter approach for anything more than a few pounds - if eBay decide to delete your account for whatever reason (not unheard of) or if your account is otherwise compromised, your balance could be gone and you don’t have the same protections you would benefit from with a bank account.

Sold Thread 'Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory LE £7000'

Heya.

My first machine ever owned bought straight from Pinball Heaven in December 2019. I'm very emotional about letting it go, but I have a new one coming soon and I need room... and I like my TBL too much.

It is in very good condition, consistent with home use and has about 4,500 games played. I added a few mods like the Chocolat factory on the ramp diverter and changed the rubbers a few times already. I'm in London and asking £7500 for it.


Cheers!

This is local to me and I have worked on it once - issue with the motor that raises the playfield - which I fixed.

Sounds like they have had other issues with it since but didn’t like my work obviously as they never called me back in 😊

Anyways I’ve messaged them to ask if I can go have a look. I don’t think I will take a punt at it, particularly at £3,200 for a non-worker, as it’s not my theme but at least I can update the group.

At least they have updated the advert from backbox artwork for sale to a whole pinball 😂
 
I cant think of a reason to drill a hole there - some sort of anti-theft thing ?

Seem to remember enjoying playing it back in the day though
