The motor switch contacts have all been cleaned; playfield has been meticulously cleaned and waxed; flippers have been rebuilt; new rubbers; new pinball. This pinball machine looks shiny and new!Original cabinet with original side art in great condition; new backglass MINT; a great single player electro-mechanical model in tip-top shape!
Local pickup in Southern California (zipcode 91320); it will fit in the back of any truck and almost any SUV if you remove the head and legs (very easy). I can help disassemble and load it with your help or you can make arrangements to have it picked up. The pinball machine can be moved very easily - no stairs. There is tractor-trailer truck access on the street.
I am readily available to ship it by any means you prefer and will facilitate in any way I can. I'm available anytime; you pay for the shipper and schedule the pickup. I will make sure it happens without a hitch.
I've used uship.com (easy & free to post ads with no commitment required) and found that if you post with at least a week lead time you'll get very good bids for transport and that the shippers take very good care of the items they ship. Make sure you explicitly state that you want them to ship a pinball machine and that they need to remove the legs and the head and blanket wrap (shrink wrap) for transport; as long as it's written in your ad they will bid it correctly and do it well!
At first, I was very hesitant to purchase pinball machines, because I felt overwhelmed by the notion of arranging shipment. I was scared that something would go wrong with either the shipper or the buyer at pickup. But after several purchases, I've discovered that it's easier than picking it up myself. So I use a shipper even if I purchase a pinball machine close to home. Jim's Moving Service in Newbury Park will charge about $150 and send out a couple of guys on short notice with a huge truck and liftgate and deliver within 10 miles or so with no issues. While long-haul shipping companies will charge around $800 to ship it across the country (contact Michelle Bianchi @ Beltmann Integrated Logistics for a quote).
So if you want this pinball machine in your home, buy it and I will try my best to help make it as smooth as possible for you.
Here are the specs:
The entire pinball machine with the head weighs about 250lbs.
The pinball cabinet is 52in x 22in x 16in
The head is 28in x 26in x 11in
The legs are removable, but if the legs and the head are not removed the pinball machine is about 70 inches at its tallest point.
