Really unusual since previously they wouldnt accept anything less than the asking price. Maybe the one that went for £801 as an auction (tho with a suspect MPU) nudged them into it...

My friends favourite pin and he hasn't played it since childhood so he'd probably be interested in this if it's safe.
Anyone local able to check it out? Says Bristol, so @roadshow16 ? Although probably bad weekend for it
I am in Bristol working. But, looks like it has gone....
Dissing TAF is like dissing an e type jaguar.
A modern hot hatch is miles faster. Better ventilation. Lower fuel consumption. LED lights. Better sound system. Syncromesh. More comfortable
But it is not and will never be anywhere close to being as historically significant

Listing almost makes it seem like playfield is not included??

The starting price is a bit steep given the hours required to rebuild it and hope the bits are all there.
Agreed, stripping and rebuilding is one thing. Building from scratch with no reference is an entirely different matter.
i’d want a reference machine to work against
Same!
so means loaning someone else’s game or going and taking 1001 photos. I know we have members on here who own this game, so it’s doable
RebelI think my tally is 3 without and 2 with reference machines. I very rarely use photos!

I have to photo everything at least 3 times otherwise it won’t be going back as I found it. There will also be a lot of swearing.
he never said they worked
Oi..! They all work, well nearly all as I'm still finishing off Haunted House...
I never take enough photos
I often look at what I've taken and go. Nice one Scott now what. 
I think I might video the next one. That way any shots missed might get caught on cam.

I‘ve done multiple videos on my latest two machines from a couple of angles. It’s an absolute life saver later.
I have a Banzai and that is a very serious project. It has 2x playfields riddled with solenoids and lamps with 3x flippers on each one.

If it were a regular game I would lend mine to a known individual to help - but I don't want to even move my Banzai. It is the only game in my pinshed that I have never shifted. They are horrid to manhandle (heavy with very high centre of gravity) and doing so is fraught with risk. Even lowering the backbox can destroy the ball lifter if you aren't careful. I think you also need to remove the playfield glass when lowering the backbox as the metal moulding at the foot of the backglass (often missing) could break one or other of the panes if you didn't.
if anyone wants to come and inspect mine, take photos etc to help with this project you are very welcome or I can send stuff electronically. Talk you through the menus and tests etc etc as you progress the build
CRITICALLY - does it have the plastic ball lifter, motor and grooved shaft the lifter locates onto ? This might be the same shaft and motor as used in WPC game BSD but the lifter plastic that holds the electromagnet is game specific. The interconnect board is game specific.
Do the boards work ? System 11 boards getting very expensive though Andy Netherwood has the genuine williams repair jigs and has done board repairs on my Banzai
@Garry Sp8 might still have some spares. He very kindly helped me out with mine.
It is a very complicated System 11 machine as the solenoids/ lamps run through relays so they either fire on the upper or the lower PF (but not at the same time) using the same drive transistors.
It even has those horrible pop bumpers with loads of leaf switches in a stack that love to fry boards and cause lock ons if misadjusted.
Best buyer would be an existing banzai owner. I'd take on a regular system 11 in that state if I had a working game next to it, but Banzai is for real men only
Complete - Banzai Run
Always fancied one of these since first playing in France in August 1988, so was probably a very new game back then. I had vowed to avoid projects until my funhouse is done, but these games do not come up for sale that often - especially with cabs and playfields in good order This was a routed...
