A Shadow here for 2k .
And another 200 for shipping.
I'd say you could get him down a little.

http://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/the-shadow-£1-750.36053/

I sent that guy a pm and he went trying to look for shipping prices. I don't think he is bothered selling it to me for some reason as he just keeps saying the prices for shipping are too much and won't tell me how much it is. He is in jersey so could be crazy though. The hunt continues !

Jack burton · 13-04-2017 08:40AM

You can organize shipping from this end if you want. He'll just have to pallet it up and be there when someone collects him. It should cost you under €200

Optimus Prime · 13-04-2017 08:48AM

How do you go about doing that ? I've never done anything like that before. To be honest I really get the feeling he doesn't want to sell it to me for some reason. Dunno why.

Jack burton · 13-04-2017 08:58AM

Could be the same as us over here and dont want pins leaving the country because they are gone for good usually then.

I use a local shipping and storage company. I've sent a pin to the UK and gotten one from Derry off them with no hassle. I asked and they said getting one from the UK is no problem.

Check out who in your area is part of the pallet network id say and ring them up and ask http://tpn.ie/

Could be a good time to do it aswell, with brexit coming along who knows if there will be import taxes from UK. I just want you to buy it though because I love that machine and want to play it! :P

Optimus Prime · 13-04-2017 09:12AM

Haha I would have loved that one myself. I sent them an email there asking if they collect from Jersey. Thanks.

I sent the guy selling the Dracula in Portugal a message too but I'm not as interested in that one if I'm being honest, but if the price was right. .

13-04-2017 09:27AM

I'm mad for a drac and I've never played it!
You should look at a mode based game to go with the getaway.

Optimus Prime · 13-04-2017 09:34AM

What does that mean ? A mode based game ?

To be honest I'll take anything I can find within reason. It's frustrating having the cash but none to buy haha

13-04-2017 10:04AM

The getaway for example has two main goal.
Lock balls to start multiball and get up the gears to get to red line mania.

Then there is games like STTNG,Adams family and Theater of magic that are mode based
Like in stttng there are 7 different main modes you must complete to get to the "final frontier" (wizard mode)

each mode has a different objective.

Tales from the crypt has 12 modes!

Here is the modes from theater of magic .

and Tales from the crypt .the inserts around the center.

Optimus Prime · 13-04-2017 10:47AM

Ah cool thanks ! I get it now.

Haha this it's taken me years to get to this point. First time having it sitting there. I've done the wedding thing, good luck with the saving !

Jack burton · 14-04-2017 02:16PM

Ah hopefully I can save enough to have a few quid left over to buy another pin afterwards

What could be worthwhile for you is to go onto the pinball owners database. Lot of lads on there are willing to sell and ship.

Do you still have that badcats?

Optimus Prime · 14-04-2017 03:37PM

Sold it to Mitch last year. Didn't have room to work on it with no shed. So need to get a working pin really. Maybe I should get a shed instead haha.

Jack burton · 17-04-2017 08:38PM

Might aswell stick this up here instead of starting a new thread.

Pinball league will be taking place next Sunday in my freshly converter garage. Anyone wants to go just send me a pm and I'll get you the details

17-04-2017 08:40PM

I’ll be heading from naas.space in the car for 1 anyways.
Free booze again?

Good day out in LazerSteak HQ,
Some big scores and some big pizza

I take back everything I've ever said about BBQ sauce pizzas.

Jack burton · 24-04-2017 09:58AM

Yeah there's a few scores I have to look at now for a while I'd say. Thanks for coming down.

I don't know much but I know my pizzas

Hello, I'm looking for a Pinball machine/cabinet, standard or even better a widebody! could be a broken one as well!
Even an empty cab with legs and lockdown bar, hinges and some random parts will make me very happy!
I've sent email to user @Pinball Ireland but after that, I have noticed the last time he was here we had 2010

I slowly but finally finishing my arcade machine with hyperspin so time to start a new project!
Would like to make a virtual pinball machine but love to have a genuine pinball cab for it!
Hopefully, you can help me out.
Thanks
Greg

silverball · 01-04-2018 04:35PM

I also have a few machines, ranging from major projects to brand new not long out of the box.

Let me know what you are after or price range and I will see what I have.

Cheers
Ian

Ps I’m based in Belfast

KeRbDoG · 17-04-2018 07:47AM

Pinball question - how do you transport them? The scoreboard should be folded down right and do the legs need to be unbolted?

Exactly,
Legs off,head down balls removed.
They are fairly compact.......:o
some are bigger than others and with the EM (electro mechanicals) the head has quick disconnects and can be removed completely .
I can fit an EM in my 3 door golf.
I think Jack Burton got one into a punto before (a DMD game).

Estate car is recommended

Jack burton · 17-04-2018 12:17PM

Got Street fighter 2 into a Polo. Head had to be completely removed for that. I'd say any decent sized car would take one. They fit perfectly into a small van

You after picking one up?

I can make that happen, PM me

Came across an add am family recently. Was never too interested in pinballs, but these are fairly sought after I think. What's a good price to pay?

Optimus Prime · 17-01-2019 06:12PM

It’s one of the better ones and most sought after ! . Brownfinger has one so he will probably know. Would love one myself.
