Wow! If there were a "Pinside Hero" award I would nominate pinmike for it. That's a very generous offer. Nice way to introduce somebody to the wonderful world of pinball.

Quoted from pinmike:Thank you Jarjar,How are you today?
I'm doing well thanks... Just dreaming of what pin to buy next like usual. Oh, and attempting to figure out what is wrong with my garbage disposal. How about yourself?
Good grief. Does he think you were born yesterday?
What did it end up going for? I've seen a number of them for sale online. Just wondering if you could get a better price elsewhere...
Quoted from pinmike:It went for 1120,I had a gut feeling this was going to end up like this
which is no big deal
Nothing like the wacky world of Ebay. I think I know which auction you're talking about. Noticed it a couple times while looking for new machines this past week. I've yet to bid for a machine on Ebay. Based on experiences like yours, I'm kinda dreading the day I do.
Quoted from pinmike:Your gonna have BS like that on Ebay but just stick with the price you are
willing to pay for and watch out for second chance offers right after the
auction ends those are always suspicious.
Just like buying a car. You gotta be able to walk away. I actually lucked out with LOTR. It was on Ebay, nobody bid on it, and so I contacted the seller. By the time I contacted him he already had an accepted offer from somebody else. A couple days later he contacts me to see if I'm still interested because the other buyer fell through. Ended up getting it for $400 less than what it was originally listed for. Just goes to show that patience IS a virtue. 
Quoted from pinmike:I got mine about 500 less but as you know i had some issues with
the machine.I fixed up everything accept that darn Balrog flasher issue
Ugh! That damn flasher. There has to be a fix for that... Still bugs me and it's not even my machine. I can only imagine how you feel about it.
Quoted from pinmike:I try to ignore it but it bugs me to see no glow.I will probably clip off
those zipties on the wires under the playfield are trace that one wire
all the way back.
Sounds like a plan. Do you have a digital multimeter? If so, might be worth hooking that bad boy up and seeing what sorts of voltages you're drawing.
Quoted from pinmike:Yes i have one and thats the plan im going for
Well played sir!
