Hi everyone!
I've decided to sell to sell my Family Guy and I will try to describe it as thorough as I can. I will add anything later that I might have missed.
This was my first NIB pinball purchase and it was purchased from Jack at pinball sales in 2007. I have all of the original receipts, paperwork, shipping box and the original packing material. Before the first ball was placed on the playfield I did the following things: Pinball Pal leg protectors and start button protector, mylared all five drop targets, mylared underneath the two lower ramp flaps, mylared underneath the ramp drop around the left inlane switch, added all Cliffy protectors (left and right ramp, front and back scoop), added the Stewie "Power ball" and plastic protectors from Pinbits. And yes, it was very difficult doing all of that before I played the first ball!
Soon after I added: Mckee topper, color changing skill shot led, orange bulb condoms on those clear inserts that just don't look right, Stewie playfield decals, Cliffy tournament button relocation kit, and swapped out the Powerball with a 5/8 (or 9/16?) steel ball a cool guy named Greg B. sent me from RGP (Thanks again Greg!). The Powerball was actually a little bit too light for me and the original was a tad bit too big and heavy.
Another thing I did was heat up and slightly bend the lower left blue Stewie pinball plastic to get rid of that horrible flat spot/ball trap. It's never had another ball hang up there again. The entire top side was torn down a month ago and the original black rubber was changed out with new white rubber and completely cleaned with novus. Four new balls were also added.
The only things wrong with this pin are the beer decal is worn even after it was double mylared before the first game (I have a replacement decal) and the "Blast" plastic to the right of the right flipper came from the factory with a scratch just above and to the left of the "B". It is small enough I didn't even notice it for about six months. You might be able to see it in the pictures.
Everything else is about as perfect as it gets. Goodie bag is still stapled to the cabinet and I have all of the original documentation and parts that were removed. It plays 100% and needs nothing.
The bad news is that I will not ship. I won't chance letting a shipping company possibly putting a ding in the side of the cabinet or harming it in any way. I would probably be more pissed than the new owner and hunt down the culprit myself, and I don't want to go to jail! But I do have dollies and I can help load.
Price is $5000 firm. Cash and carry.
Feel free to ask questions.
