I'd been looking to add a Black Knight to my collection for some time now but wasn't able to find a game in the condition I wanted without having to ship one 100's of miles from the US. So, last week I posted in the WTB section of this site.

Timing, with a little bit of good luck thrown in for good measure, is definitely everything.

Thanks to a suggestion by ToMMY, I contacted Dave Astill to see if he did in fact have a BK he was selling. It turns out he did and it was EXACTLY what I'd been looking for.

Well, just 7 days after my initial posting, Dave delivered an absolutely beautiful BK to my home. Better than any I've seen for sale locally over the past year. Near-mint cab and backbox, pristine playfield, and a stunningly gorgeous brand new repro backglass from Mayfair.

Actually, I've had the pleasure of buying off of Dave in the past and this time was no exception. He delivered the pin, helped load it in, set it up, and spent a few hours tracking down a reset issue (damn isolation transformer!) and didn't leave until it was playing flawlessly.

Guess that's why I'll never buy a game off of E-bay. I've been forever spoiled by Dave!

Congrat's on the BK  
And yes, Mr Astill is one of the nicest guys around to deal with .... best part is, he's local to me!

Congrats, it looks fantastic!  Black Knight has always been on my wish list, it was my first favourite Solid State pinball to play (before that I was mainly into EMs).
