Tampa, FL
I have an OVER-THE-TOP Gottlieb Target Alpha - FULL High-End Restoration up for grabs. It's been full on Pimped!
Here's your possible "ONCE IN A LIFETIME" opportunity to own a fully restored Target Alpha. Machines of this caliber usually NEVER go up for sale and are traded among collectors only. This machine has been in the works for 6 months and has close to 200 hours of work in its restore process. The machine has very nice wiring and components. The backglass is nice with no fading. The cabinet was completely stripped down and sanded/prepped baby smooth. NEW paint, fleck and professional stencils were cut and then re-painted to look like it came off the show room floor. Close to $500 in NEW parts from PBR were installed. 30 hours of cleaning all contacts, mechs & gears which have also been lubed and adjusted. I only do high-end restore work here at Pinball Pimp and don't even bother with pinballs that are too beat up have lots of road rash. I'm sure the winning bidder will be very please to add this machine to his or her collection. These machines get harder and harder to come by these days, especially restored to this level. LOOK at the pictures below and you will see what a spectacular beauty she is!

YOU WILL NOT FIND A NICER TARGET ALPHA THAN THIS!
