Item description
READ THIS DESCRIPTION FULLY!!!
I drove 8 hours to pick this machine up from a man in Arkansas named Josh Hubbard. Despite him doing pinball repair, he scammed me on this one, hard. I paid $1,300 for this machine thinking it was a Blast Off machine that somewhat worked. And well let me just get straight to the point. This is a Blast Off head (add-a-ball game) on an Apollo cabinet and playfield (replay version of the same game) I have spent day after day rewiring the sockets for the head to try and make it play like Blast Off, but I am ready to give up. I have gotten decently far though, and I believe with a lot of knowledge this machine could still work. I borrowed an Apollo backbox from my friend in Lincoln, and I can say with certainty that this machine plays 100% perfectly with the right head on it. If you have an Apollo head, this can just be the rest of your machine, I only rewired the wires in the Blast Off backbox going to the sockets, as to let the game still work with the proper Apollo head on it. Playfield/plastics are in great shape, small bit of flaking in name in backglass but it looks cooler that way, and cab is in pictures. I put new rubbers and waxed it before I realized it was a mismatched game. Asking $1,000, I know I’m not going to get all my money back on this crap, especially the wasted gas money driving that 8 hours, but Josh Hubbard threatened me after I yelled at him for scamming me.
It’s my loss on this one, I have many other machines that actually work to fix though so this needs to go. Thank you if you have read this entire thing.
