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.

What did Josh say when you discussed this mix up with him?

Quoted from Jigs:

What did Josh say when you discussed this mix up with him?

This is just a small portion of the entire bs response. He’s referencing at the top the fact that I took a U-turn after I left the gas station I met him at to drive even further down into Arkansas to help him try and jump his car that died. And this was the first time I had messaged him since October well over a month ago
