Geez, man. That's the only comment you have? Punctuation police!

And ... since you started it ... you failed to put a comma between "text" and "Batman." It should have read: "Holy wall of text, Batman!"

Be better: if you're going to harp on another for punctuation (for some odd reason), perhaps edit your post very carefully before hitting "send." That way you avoid the irony of misusing it yourself while trying to school another (again, for some odd reason).

Gorgeous game, friend - someone is going to get a beauty of a machine!

I mean maybe there is something wrong with the ad but 119 pics? Way too many duplicate pics in the ad. Way too overzealous about the post too. I'm getting so tired of the over priced pins and I could care less about how how many hours invested and much money people waste on new parts and restorations. Enough already, it's a pinball machine!

Likely means that when the RadCals were installed, they were just installed right over any bolts on the cabinet. I'm not a fan of this approach, because it hinders serviceability down the road.

None of this matters, not like the person who buys this is really interested in playing the game anway.

I also hate this stupid fucking phrase "better than new". If you had the ability to get a cabinet that just rolled off the factory floor today, or this cabinet, you're gonna pick the one that rolled off the factory floor. BLWTS

WTF are those “Leg protectors” doing on there?!?!? Get them off immediately. Those were only for older games to cover up damage, those will ruin the new decals.

They're AA lithium batteries, not AAA. I've never had one leak in about 30 of my games, but I do get your concern.

How can I really feel confident in a purchase if I haven't seen 3 pictures of the power cord?

Also looks like the price is dropping fast! I think it was $14500 to start, then $14000, now $13000. At this rate of ~$1500/day change, assuming the trend continues, we might have a reasonably priced game at the middle of the week.

Just fyi using the term "High End Pin" can be very misleading on these forums unless the pin is in fact one of Chris Hutchins from HEP.

Nice pin though and as somebody else suggested if you found a color dmd to install you may have better luck getting your asking price.

Yeahhhh. Dude just placed foot in mouth (even more) with this title change.
I assume this will be followed by Chris doing a restoration on hitwhatslit himself, with the first teardown step obviously being "head is removed from body."
