OP

Quoted from EJS:

Wow, I haven't had time to look at this thread since my return from TN. It was certainly not my intention to cause all this confusion or misunderstanding or conflict. This I apologize for. Having worked for an operator and talked with other ops and enthusiasts, most everyone I know (and talk with) defines a routed machine as a game that is put on the truck, and hops from one location to the next to be beaten into the ground.

I'd like to use Google Maps as an example. A route, would be a path of multiple points, like a bus route, or directions from getting to point A to B with multiple turning points, directions, would be a route. A dot, one spot (Blainbrook) would be hard to argue as a route.

As for the "HUO" argument is concerned, I mentioned this was "home use" not "home use only".

As I have found this to be a welcoming place to talk and sell pinball, I would like to call it 'end of discussion'. If I have misled someone, I'm sorry. But the most important part is that the current owner of the machine understands the condition, has seen and played the machine and had the opportunity to buy or not buy based on what he saw. I had only sent pictures to a few people so I can see where the condition may be up for debate.

Finally I would like to comment on the TOPS tournaments. Yes, the newer Stern games have been set up tight due to some bang-backs earlier in the years. This is no longer a problem. At some points, they were set a little tighter for league. Family Guy is the only TOPS game I have control of. The tournament results on there now will speak for themselves for good payouts. As a side note, current winners, please PM for payment. I have not been able to locate everyone yet. Due to my odd hours at this location, I am discontinuing tournament play on this game until further notice as I don't want to be running around with money on pots that need to be paid out. Its not fair and it doesn't look good. Thanks for the support for those who have played in it. By the way, tilt warnings are back and less shots now to complete mini playfield!

Thanks everyone for the interest, Spidey is sold. Since this thread has served its purpose, I will welcome any administrator to close this thread. I did not come here to cause problems and do not wish any to continue. If someone does not care for the condition of a game I sell, or the way one of my machines play on location, or feels cheated in any way, I will not be offended if you play (or buy) a different game instead. It is your money and you are free to do what you wish with it.

Respectfully,

Eric
