This found it's way to my fiancee yesterday:
http://www.wolfelectronics.ca/browse/Pins/CueBallWizard/

One of her clients found it at the local dump when he was there, so he tossed it in his truck and brought it to her since he knows we're both in the hobby. The PF was absolutely filthy, but should clean up okay. A bunch of the solenoids aren't working (blown/missing fuses from the looks of things), it has some rust on the metal parts, it's missing the legs, glass and lockdown bar, but it seems to work other than that. The cabinet is in fantastic shape, inside and out and the boards are super clean. I have the translite even though it isn't in the pics and I do have the pool balls for it too. The only thing it's missing from the PF that I can tell is the pool cue plastic. Hopefully I can find one.

With as crappy as this past week has been (I lost my job because of a corporate take-over), this ended the week on a pretty good note.

Amazing find!  Sorry to hear about the job, these things seem to have a way of making things better in the end.

We just had it on its back because I had the head strapped up and was ready to put it in the trailer when we decided to plug it in and turn it on. I know, not the smartest thing to do, but it was impossible to resist the urge.

That is the power of living in a small town and networking with non-arcade people, when stuff like this pops up, people go "OOOH, I know who could use that!"

Yeah, it sucks big time, especially the way the whole job deal went down, but I won't be unemployed long. I never am.
