Just was over at mr. pinball site and there's a long list of pins and a few vids for sale in Kingston posted May 9, 2009. Sounds like someone is getting out. Might be worth a look for someone who lives a whole lot closer. Sorry, I don't know how to link to the ad. Guess you could do a search for Fireball and sort by date. I did not say these were going cheap, just that they were going.

That's the one. Maybe if he has them long enough he'll bring his prices a little more into line - unless these machines are in spectacular condition. I mean he has a Capt. Fantastic for $1500 but i'm sure it's not as nice as TGlover's.

Those machines have been listed previously and for sale for at least the last 6-9 months so don't hope for price reductions. It's Greg from the old Halifax pinball (original Fathom playfields). Haven't seen the machines in person, just had a friend trying to buy a few (unsuccessfully) about 6 months ago. He said decent quality but he's a picky collector so take that for what it's worth .
I dropped by his place a couple of weeks ago to look at his stuff. He's got about 5 of the pins set-up and the rest are wrapped up. I think a couple of vids were running.
Nice guy and real proud of his work.
I was particularly interested in the CF. The cabinets parts were shiny clean and labeled. Who the f*** labels their parts? The labels were even laminated. Amazing attention to detail.
It was a re-painted cab, but I didn't like the job that was done on it. He said it was the first one he ever did and that he learned a lot since then.
Backglass was perfect.
Playfield was very clean, but had a poor colour match on a large spot that had been touched up.
The game played nicely. He seemed firm on the price.
The rest of the set-up pins looked to be in very nice condition.
