This our first pin ever, and working with John was truly an exceptional experience.» Read moreMy wife is pinball fan, and has waxed nostagic so many times over the years about the hours she spent after school playing Earthshaker, her favorite pin of all time to this day. For years I search for an arcade that had one she could just play again, then decided a couple years ago I should just find one to buy her.
I contacted John, explained that this was for my wife's upcoming milestone birthday, my journey to this point, etc, and he was quickly invested in making this as great of a present for her as possible. He talked me through worthwhile mods and ones to avoid, sourced me an invisiglas at cost, brought in a third party to do some cleanup/restoration, assured me he'd be available to assist after transaction with setup, troubleshooting, etc. I also added the Golden Gate bridge mod from @8bitrobo.
I was originally going to just have it shipped to me, but realized, 1. We had friends in the area who had been nagging us to visit, and, 2. My wife would appreciate meeting the guy who was so invested in helping make a milestone birthday special, so decide to turn it into a road trip and pick the pin up ourselves. So as we arrived, I intially convinced her that I'd merely tracked down an owner of an Earthshaker that was willing to let her come play it (and his other machines) for the afternoon, moments before we arrived at John's house. She was dizzy-giddy with the prospect, as this was first time she'd touched the machine in over 30 years.
After about 45 minutes of watching her happily bounce from machine to machine, already riding the high of a longtime wish had been fullfilled, I asked if she was ready to move on to the next surpise. After an entusastic "Yes!", I handed her the key to the coin box and wish her happy birthday.
I couldn't have asked for a better reaction—to quote John, "The way your wife reacted was priceless, qualifies for the pinball buyer's hall of fame.'

Great seller! It was very enjoyable meeting John and doing business with him. The machine was exactly as advertised and he helped with wrapping it up and getting it into my van with his pinball cart. If I didn't live so far away I would have stayed the whole evening and played a bunch because we were having such a great time talking about» Read morepinball. All of his machines were mint and most had really cool mods. Hope to see him again in the future. Don't hesitate buying from him (even if you can't show up and have to get it shipped), he is a true pinhead and really loves the hobby and community. Thanks again John!

“Had a stellar first transaction with John.
First off: great guy to chat pinball with! Hilarious too, which I always appreciate.
More importantly: he had the game picked up and paid for less than a week after we locked our deal in place… despite the fact it’s the holidays and he’s a few states away.
Great stuff, thanks again!”

Flawless transaction. John packaged the table up like a PRO, and it arrived save-and-sound 3600 miles later, exactly as described. He really went above-and-beyond in helping with every step of the way -- showing the table, answering questions, helping with shipping, helping setting up the table once it arrived. He is a wonderful asset to the community, and I would not hesitate in purchasing» Read morefrom again if given the chance, or recommending others in doing so.

This was my first pin purchase, and I could not have been more lucky to come across grahamharley as the seller. Not only did he educate me on how these deals are done, but he packaged everything the same as it would be were it to arrive new from Stern and gave exceptional detail with regards to what to expect from shipping. This was a daunting process for me, but grahamharley held my hand at every step and has left the door open should I need help with the machine in the future (an offer I've already taken him up on).» Read moreI cannot recommend this seller enough.
