Hey all,
Saw this on Ebay,
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Gottlieb-19.....QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thought I'd see about playing it, asked if I could come check it out...
"you can come and pick it up and pay cash in hamilton ontario, however the machine is in a storage facility and there is no access to hydro for the tenants so it cannot be played there. I Assure you it works fine."

And the other things he sells are radios and speakers.....maybe a scam, but hopefully not.
Anyway, food for thought.

At that price and in that condition it's a steal! Who cares if it doesn't work? Also, if the winner picks it up, I assume that's when he pays. How can this be a scam?

Hmmm....

Hamilton. Large fonts in postings. Recent eBay seller, lately bad feedback.
Dealing in hi-fi, vacuum tubes, catalin radios and pinball machines....

Reminds me of someone blacklisted on Mr.Pinball...
But we have no proof - yet.

From what I understand, when you go to pick it up, it will not be the same machine as in the pics... worse condition, definitely not working.
